Miss Sunshine | Sunkissed collection | Guest designer – Josefine van der Hoeven

Hey creative paperlovers,

Welcome to the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today. So happy to see you here!
It’s Josefine here to show you a new scrapbook layout that I created as a guest designer for Cocoa Vanilla Studio with the beautiful summer collection “Sunkissed”. Just in love with all the gorgeous designs in this awesome summer collection. I feel the summer vibe already!

My creative mind only wants to create with these beautiful paper pretties. I was inspired by the summer layout from Sophie Delorme and chose to also use the blue-green color background.

I start with a white piece of cardstock and cut out several clouds with my “Cricut Maker”
From a piece of yellow design paper I cut a circle to size. I use my sewing machine to decorate the edges with different stitches. For the clouds I use white sewing thread and stitch only the bottom. I place the yellow circle behind my photo. I put the clouds on my layout and slide my round photo in between.

I grab the different summer die-cuts and make a selection of which ones I want to use on my layout. Some die-cuts I also provide with white sewing thread. I carefully slide the die-cuts between the clouds. I like to use 3D elements on my layout. And I decide to fold origami butterflies.

I cut squares from the design paper in different sizes. For each butterfly, I use two squares of the same size. I fold the tip over and over until I reach the center. Then I fold the other tip over and over until I am in the center. Then I fold them together. I do this with two squares. I put both wings together and attach them with a string.

I use white and gold acrylic ink and make several splashes with my brush. I stitch the edges of my layout with white sewing thread using my sewing machine. I am happy how my layout turned out. So nice and summery!

I hope I was able to give you some great ideas and wish you lots of fun creating beautiful projects with this awesome summer collection! I want to thank you for stopping by on the blog today!
Happy crafting!
