Sweet happy memory | Storyteller | Josefine Van der Hoeven

 

Hello Paperlovers,

Today, I share with you a scrapbook layout I recently created using the beautiful “Storyteller” collection, designed by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. In this blog post, I will walk you through the process of creating a unique background using distress oxide in color of “faded jeans.” Additionally, I’ll show you three different ways to use a single patterned paper, along with a few embellishments, to complete this layout.

 

To set the foundation for my scrapbook layout, I decided to create a mixed media background using distress oxide ink. The color I use for this layout was “faded jeans.” With its subtle blue tones, it perfectly complemented the overall theme of my layout. The distressed effect added depth and texture to the background, setting the stage for the focal points of my design.

 

One of the highlights of the “Storyteller” collection is the stunning array of patterned papers it offers. The challenge for today is “one paper, three ways”

  1. Die-Cut Hearts with Blue Patterned Paper: To begin, I adorned the die-cut hearts with a beautiful blue patterned paper from the collection. The heart designs and soft hues added a touch of elegance to the layout. Placing the hearts strategically in the center of the layout.
  2. Next, I carefully hand-cut some flowers from the reverse side of the same patterned paper. The vibrant blooms provided a striking contrast against the blue mixed media background. I made two clusters of flowers on both side of the picture that I cut into a circle.
  3.  The third way I employed involved transforming the patterned paper into origami butterflies. This technique showcased the versatility of the paper and added an interactive element to the layout. By skillfully folding the paper, I created charming butterflies that seemed to flutter above the flowers, adding a whimsical touch to the overall design. 

    In addition to the patterned paper, I enhanced the layout further by incorporating a few embellishments. Wooden buttons, foam title stickers, and die-cut labels. These small details helped to tie everything together.

I would thank you for visiting the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today and I hope that I have inspired you in some way through this exploration of the “Storyteller” collection and its limitless creative possibilities. Remember, each scrapbook layout is an opportunity to preserve and share your cherished memories. Embrace your own creativity and enjoy your journey in the world of paper crafting. Have a wonderfully creative day!
