The Great Outdoors | Great Escape Collection by Niki Rowland

Hey again everyone! This is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) back today with another layout and process video using the Great Escape Collection. For this layout I was inspired by the banner shapes in this collection and decided to make a banner design. I used white for my background and then made three different sized banners out of patterned papers. I chose two solid-ish patterns for the larger ones (green compasses, and orange zig zags) and then took a risk and made a stripy one for the smaller one. The reason it’s a risk, is because there are white stripes in-between the colours, and multiple colours, so it may not have looked as defined as the other two, but after distressing the edges and put some orange trim around the bottom edge, I think it looks ok! I distressed the edges of all banners, and added strings for ‘hangings’. I usually would have used brads for them to ‘hang’ from, but I didn’t have any (I was scrapping away from home) so I just stitched them in place with a single stitch using cotton. I also added contrasting coloured strips to the top of each banner. I added one single photo, a landscape one, which is a bit unusual for me, but it worked perfectly with this design. I added two large embellishment clusters, comprising of Floral Ephemera from the Heart & Home collection (which goes beautifully with the colours in Great Escape by the way!) and multiple other Ephemera pieces from Great Escape. I also added chipboard, which I always enjoy adding because it gives a different texture to my layouts. For my title I used ‘the great outdoors’ from the Puffy Title Stickers, which I positioned on the diagonal lines of the banners. Again this is a bit different for me, so I was a bit out of my comfort zone with this layout! But I love how the title looks! I finished off with small embellishments: stars from the Puffy Title Stickers, Enamel Dots and sequins! I also added a few phrase strips from the Accessory Stickers. I adore how this layout turned out, it’s so fun and I love the oversized banners! Happy scrapping Niki xx @nikiclairecreates

This is 12 | Happy Days Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hey Hey! It’s Michelle back here today with a new layout share for you all using the Happy Days Collection. I was inspired by this months Floral Frenzy Challenge to create something with one of my most loved embellishments – Flowers, which reminded me of a layout I made a few years back. Lets take a peek shall we… A layout full of colour and florals to celebrate this sweet kids 12th birthday back in 2022, when things were all sunshine and rainbows and we could get a smile out of her for a photo of 2 lol I used a bunch of florals from the Floral ephemera pack, some fussy cut mini florals from the A5 paper stack version of Lush Blooms and a handful of other fun ephemera embellishments to bring it all together. I added the photos printed in black & white 3inch square size to some of the fun aqua Little Blossom paper layered with some of the brilliant blue floral Definitive paper Here’s a look back at the original layout, full of florals in all shapes sizes and colours. I replicated the same floral framing in both the top left and bottom right corners of the layout using a mix of flowers. These can be found in the Floral Ephemera pack and the A5 paper version of Lush Blooms. I mixed in some ephemera pieces, enamel dots, butterflies and accessory stickers using a mix of different adhesives for layering heights of dimension. I added chipboard stars from the Title stickers pack from the collection and some mini puffy alphas to the journal spot on the bottom cluster to create 1 of 2 titles on the layout. Yep you read that right, 2 titles. Is that even a thing? The larger title on the layout consists of words from the Chipboard Title Stickers pack, a banner cut from an ephemera piece and some accessory word stickers. The perfect combination for a mixed font title. Once I had all the pieces adhered in place I splattered the entire floral clusters with gold ink, added some extra gold glitter paint dots to fill in some gaps and called it done. Here’s a final look at the entire layout.. Well friends thats all from me today. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this little scraplift of mine. Be sure to check out the other floral frenzy pages shared in the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Community group on Facebook. There’s plenty of inspiration to be found Thanks so much for stopping by Until next time, Happy Scrapping! Michelle x

May Floral Frenzy | Happy Days | Rachel Lowe

Hello everyone! I thought I would join in the May challenge fun by creating a layout using the Floral Frenzy theme. I have used Happy Days collection which I love so much. I don’t do ‘busy’ layouts generally but I wanted my flowers to be the focus and went all in! I chose three papers to layer with the larger floral on the outer so I could layer my florals on it. I used Little Blossom, Lush Blooms and Flutterby papers. I then took my floral ephemera and started layering under and over the Lush Blooms paper strip. I used foam tape of some of the florals to create dimension. I added enamel dots from my stash to some of the centres. Lastly I added some leaves from the floral ephemera I used the reverse of the Flutterbuy to mat my 6×4 inch photo, I went with a black and white photo my daughter as there is so many colours and patterns in this layout, I didn’t want my photo to get ‘lost’. I created three embellishment clusters around my photo using the die cut ephemera, adding the super cute cloud (which I added heart puffy stickers) , the bike and a phrase sentiment added over it with foam tape and another floral bunch, finished off with a butterfly and phrase sentiment from the Accessory Stickers. Lastly I created my title using the chipboard titles and a super cute strawberry die cut to tie it all together. And there you have it, one super girly layout! I look forward to seeing what you create with the floral frenzy challenge. Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon. Rachel x

2024.04.18 CVS WILD NEW LIFE ADVENTURE feature

Wild New Life Adventure | Great Escape | Michelle Stokes

Hello Crafty friends, it’s Michelle here today with a new layout share for you all. Shock horror as its not a layout dedicated to our furry kids this week, I chose a recent photo of Leila on her first day of High School. New level of life adventures has begun. Woo Hoo! Using the A5 paper stack from the Great Escape Collection I’ve whipped up a grid design for the base of my layout design. I cut the squares in the middle row in a 3 inch size and the top and bottom rows in a 2.5inch size, then sewed around the entire edges of each using my machine. Each piece was then secured to the cardstock base using foam for a little dimension. The photo (shared with permission from this spicy child of mine cause we all know how teens are these days) was printed in a 4x3inch size and packed using another pattern from within the A5 paper stack. I stapled both pieces together using tiny staples and adhered to the layout using a little more foam sheeting to pop it off the layout. You can see above how the little bit of dimension brings the layout to life I created a couple of larger clusters diagonally in the top and bottom corners using left over stars fussy cut from the Star Gazing paper that I used on my last layout, with a mix of enamel shapes, accessory word stickers and puffy stars from the foam titles pack Next up I added the mixed product title using a word from the ephemera pack, letters from the chipboard stickers pack and words from the Foam Title stickers pack. If you’re wondering where the W came from – never fear, its just the M from the word TIMES in the pack that I’ve turned upside down. I added a little journal spot from the Accessory Stickers sheet to the bottom of this square to note what the photo is all about, and theres also a date label tucked into the photo too that was added towards the end. I added the usual sprinkle of gold ink from the bottle I have that seems to be a never ending supply, just like Mary Poppins bag, but I’m sure its going to dry up at any minute Here’s a final look at the layout as a whole… Well friends, thats all that I have for you today. Thank you so very much for stopping by and seeing this beloved creation that I’ve made. Until next time, Happy Scrappin! Michelle x

Our Best Adventure Yet | Great Escape collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends! It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am here to share a new scrapbook layout featuring the awesome Great Escape collection! I don’t know about you but I love travelling and I love documenting those travels too! Recently my partner and I took a trip to gorgeous Tasmania, it was wonderful, these photos are from beautiful Cradle Mountain and this collection has been perfect to document our travels. I started by cutting out a cut file from CUT to YOU from white cardstock and then backed the different words and frames with papers from the Great Escape A5 paper stack. I added 2 photos in the frames of the cut file as well and I had to be strategic with what photo I added in the top frame due to the frame below covering up part of the photo. I chose the ‘Direction’ patterned paper as my background, I then cut the navy blue strip from the ‘Wild Life’ patterned paper and adhered it to the left hand side of the paper. Once the cut file was all backed, I adhered it to the same background paper. Usually I adhere my cut files using craft foam to pop them up, however for this layout I knew I wanted to pop up the mountains and other die-cut embellishments in the middle. I added the mountains, the Fun Times sign, the wood piece and the Adventure word all from the ephemera pack. I also placed the compass die-cut to the middle of the ‘O’ of the word ‘Our’ in the cut file, I used craft foam for this piece also to pop it up off the page. Down next to the ‘Yet’ word, I placed the super cute camper die-cut and layered some phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet on top from the ephemera pack. Once the larger elements were added to my page, I then added a few smaller embellishments including puffy enamel shapes and some more stickers from the Accessory sticker sheet, including the arrow sticker and the journal spot above the word ‘Our’. I love how the puffy enamel shapes add a touch of colour and dimension and I love how the phrase stickers help to tell the story if you don’t feel like journaling! Lastly I stamped the date stamp and journaled where the photos were taken. I love how this cut file helped to make the design and placement decisions on my layout and the Great Escape collection really does make it so easy to create great memories! Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you enjoyed reading about how I created my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it! Make sure you get your hands on the awesome Great Escape collection! Happy crafting! Tarrah x

Adventure | Great Escape collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends, It’s Tarrah here with you today to share my first layout using the awesome Great Escape collection! I decided to create a layout featuring a large A4 photo taken from the bridge over the amazing Cataract Gorge in Tasmania from our recent trip visiting Tassie. The Great Escape collection was the perfect collection to focus mainly on the photo for this layout and layering lots of the elements straight on top of my photo. I started out with a plain sheet of white cardstock and placed my large photo in the very centre of the cardstock. I left the edges free of adhesive so that I could place the papers down the sides. I then cut some paper strips from the ‘B’ side of the ‘Happy Camper’ patterned paper and the ‘B’ side of the ‘Direction’ patterned paper, placing these vertically, the ‘Direction’ paper was placed at the outer edge and the ‘Happy Camper’ paper closer to the photo. I then fussy cut the scallops from the ‘Wild Life’ patterned paper and tucked this piece in on the left-hand side and bent the edges up to add some dimension. My title is the ‘Adventure’ title from the chipboard pack, I placed it down the bottom of the page, in the centre of photo and also placed one of the circle die-cuts from the ephemera pack just above the chipboard title. I took 2 of the stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet and placed these below the chipboard title. I journaled the location and the date on the smaller sticker. On the right-hand side I placed 2 more of the chipboard pieces to help balance the scallops from the left-hand hand side. I placed one of the phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet layered over the top of these pieces. I also placed one of the enamel dots from the enamel shapes pack here. At the top of the photo, I placed the ‘Wild by Nature’ die-cut using foam tape to add dimension to the page. I also placed another of the enamel dots over the top of the arrows on this die-cut. This collection is perfect for your travel and outdoor adventures such as camping, road trips, hiking, fishing, walking, running or even documenting the boys in your life! I hope you get a chance to purchase this awesome collection to create some projects of your own! Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you are inspired by my layout and enjoyed reading about how I created it. Make sure you visit the blog to see all the other gorgeous inspiration from the Cocoa Vanilla design team! Happy creating! Tarrah x

Gift Bag and Gift Card Holder | Happy Days | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends, Rachel here! So before we start on Christmas creating I have. my mothers birthday in December so I created this gift bag and gift card holder using the beautiful Happy Days collection. These cut files can be found in the Silhouette Design store. They are easy to put together and are perfect for female gift wrapping. Starting with the gift bag after cutting the hearts I added machine stitching to add definition and texture. I added each heart layer with foam tape to add more dimension which would also allow me to add embellishments in each layer. I have used Rainbow Bright, Definitive and Flutterby papers for the bag. You can see that I added lots of die cuts from the die cut ephemera and floral ephemera pack. I used a wet glue so there was no risk of them falling off. I added HAPPY with foam tape to add more dimension. I added centres to the flowers using the puffy stickers and added some hearts also. I used the chipboard titles to add ‘Happy Days’ on the handle of the bag and again I used wet glue to ensure they were secure. How cute does it look! This purse gift card holder goes perfectly with the gift bag and is so easy to put together. I used Lush Blooms paper and the trim Flutterby paper. I then simply added some florals, enamel dots, a butterfly die cut and chipboard words. On the inside I used the accessory sticker sheet to add a writing space and word sentiment. Happy Days collection is perfect to make off the page projects! I love how these turned out. Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon. Rachel x

Family | Heart & Home Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Hello! It’s Michelle back today with another fun layout share using out beautiful Heart & Home Collection. I went with a rainbow assortment of pattern paper strips and some sweet family snaps. Kinda running low on photos to share these days, but I’m hoping the next few months of family celebrations will bring some fresh new snaps. Now I’ll warn you, this post is very heavy in the photos, just not so much in the words. But sit back, relax with a drink and check out my newest creation.. I used almost all of the full colour pattern papers from the collection with a mix of multi colour papers and the typewriter text. I cut 2 strips from each piece that are roughly 1 inch wide, and left them all at different lengths to overlap at random heights in a blended colour order across the white background. I had intentions of sewing through the strips, but when creating late at night I tend to go off track from where I start. Next up I gathered a few recent family snaps and printed them out in 2×2 and 2×2.5 inch size to back the cute frames from the ephemera pack and the cut apart frame from the GATHER paper. I used pieces of foam between the frame and the photo to make them look a little more realistic then adhered across the layout using more foam for dimension. I layered in different forms of embellishments around the frames to add extra pops of interest, using a good mix of ephemera, fussy cut pieces, enamel shapes and accessory stickers I added the Happy List from the GATHER paper which is perfect for adding our family list of loves at this present time. We certainly love our share of naughty foods, long car rides around our greater region of beaches and lots and lots of laughter I added a loose string across the tops of the frames to make them look like they are strung across the layout. Mixing fibres like these is a good way to add a little texture to the layout. Super cute photo of Leila and the doggo’s. No way they would sit this still ever again lol this must have been a fluke I added the title to the bottom of the layout using the word FAMILY from the Ephemera pack along with the banner strip underneath. I used foam under these to pop them off the page giving more dimension to the bottom of the layout. Then I added the word sentiments from the accessory sticker sheet that work perfectly together in the area above the title. Lastly I added a splattering of gold ink, some gold glittery splotches that dry like enamel dots, some tiny little fussy cut florals and then called it complete. So many layers with all these strips gives so much texture to the layout which is a tick in my book. Here’s a final look at the entire layout Well thats […]

Beautiful You | Heart & Home Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Hello! It’s Michelle back here today with a new layout share featuring the Beautiful Heart & Home Collection. For this layout I set myself a challenge to only use the florals with the floral ephemera pack and a multitude of pattern papers in a circular design. Lets take a look at how I went I started off by punching circles with a hand punch out of 12 different pattern papers, mostly from the A5 paper stack with a couple of 12×12. I arranged them in a circular design on the white cardstock background, which was giving me clock face vibes, just without the numbers. Each piece had the edge distressed for a little texture before adhering with foam tape to give dimension. I actually worked backwards in my process from here on out, creating the title cluster first before adhering a photo to the page For this cluster I used the word Beautiful from the Gold Foil Title that is adhered using foam for a little extra pop, some mini puffy alphas that I used in 1 colour only, some florals from the floral ephemera pack, and fussy cut pieces from the printed vellum and Bountiful paper. Next up I created this large cluster of florals, ephemera and vellum using both foam and sticky dots for different heights of layers and dimension. I created the other large cluster on the left side of the layout using similar elements to the other groups to keep things cohesive and balanced, then added the photo to the right. I printed the photo in 3x3inch size and adhered to a piece of the woodgrain paper from this collection and adhered to the layout using foam to raise it off the background, enabling me to layer within the clustered pieces. It’s an older photo of Leila that I’m sure I’ve used and shared before, but its too sweet to not share again. Here’s a photo that shows the dimension achieved using different forms of adhesives like foam tape, foam sheets and glue dots. I added some mini puffy enamel shapes around the clusters, sprinkled some gold ink and dotted some sparkly gold dots here and there with a trusty new mixed media product I purchased at a recent craft show. I added the same medium to some of the florals for a little more sparkle. Here’s a final look at the whole layout Really happy with how this came together as I didn’t have a solid plan, just went with the flow and was content with the process. Well scrappy friends, thats all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time, Happy Scrapping! Michelle x

Together | Heart and Home collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends, It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am excited to be sharing a layout with you featuring the new GORGEOUS Heart and Home collection! I love the handmade feel to this collection. I started by choosing a cut file from CUT to YOU, I cut it out from the ‘B’ side of the gorgeous Fall Beauty paper. I was certain to place the cut file in the centre of the paper so I could use the outline as the background for my layout. I adhered the cut file to a plain sheet of white cardstock and trimmed down the cardstock to measure approximately 11′ x 11′ and adhered it the remainder of the Fall Beauty paper. I then machine stitched a border around the outside to add to that handmade feel. I am documenting a photo of myself with my friends from one of their 50th birthdays a few years ago. Such a fun night celebrating! I placed the photo on the right hand side of the page and layered a piece of vellum and a frame from the die-cut pack underneath. I adhered the photo using craft foam to add a little dimension to my page. On top of the photo, I added a phrase banner from the die-cut pack and also placed a rectangle sticker from the accessory sticker sheet to the left of the photo. At the bottom of the photo, I placed the paper strip with the cross hearts on it from the ‘Gather’ paper. I also tucked in some florals from the floral die-cut pack and placed a banner die-cut and a round die-cut both from the ephemera pack. To the right side of my photo, I tucked in some more florals here and also placed a word sticker from the Accessory Sticker sheet. My title is the ‘Together’ word from the gold title die-cut pack. I just love the gold foil on these! So pretty! To balance out the heavy right side of the page that features my photo and title, I created a small cluster of embellishments that features mostly florals and a Love die-cut. I used different levels of adhesive here to show different levels of dimension. I also placed some more word and phrase stickers here from the Accessory sticker sheet. Lastly I placed some enamel puffy shapes and I stamped the date stamp to document the date of when the photo was taken. Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog! I hope you enjoyed reading about how I created my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it. Happy creating! Tarrah x
