Love You | Merry and Bright | Kylie Kingham.
Hello, hello Cocoa Vanilla fans. It’s Kylie back with you today on the blog with some scrappy inspiration for you all. My design team assignment for today was to scrap-lift a design from the Cocoa Vanilla Community Facebook group. I actually chose a design by fellow DT member Raquel Bowman to scrap-lift. I was really drawn to her design which you can see below, followed by my scrap-lifted completed works.
As you can see by my page I have adapted the ‘Merry and Bright’ collection for my layout even though it is a Christmas themed range. When I was working with this stunning collection at the end of last year, I was totally obsessed with it and also found many of the paper elements and die cuts could be easily adapted into a non-Christmas themed project! I was really excited to try this and was super happy with the finished result! The centrepiece of this page is a lovely cut file which has been designed by Cut To You! I selected papers featuring neutral themed designs and prints to back each ‘pie’ section before adhering it over my background papers. The ‘Jingle All The Way’ paper was used as the border piece of my page. Even though it featured some holly shaped leaves, you really couldn’t pick those out once I had added the ‘Seasons Greetings’ paper over the top.
The ‘Seasons Greetings’ paper had 1 cm trimmed off each side and a machine stitched border added before adhering it over the top of the floral.
My photo was printed to a smaller scale of 3″x 4″ and adhered over the top of the cut file using foam adhesive squares. From here I was able to add lots of different floral elements from the die cut pack. I made sure to cover any Holly leaves or remove them from the flower first.
To complete my page I added a large title using the foam title stickers from the ‘Unforgettable’ collection which balanced my page nicely. I also added a button flair which featured a sweet double heart print and matched my theme.
So that you can see exactly how my page came together, I have also filmed a short process video-
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my scrap-lifted layout and that you may even be tempted to try a non Christmas themed project with the Merry & Bright collection too!
Until next time,
Kylie
