12×12 scrapbook layout

My Sunshine | Daydream Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! Today I am sharing a layout created using the gorgeous Daydream collection. My stash is running low and that makes me sad because it is one of my fav collections. On the bright side I am scrapping the cutest puppy ever!

As most of you know I am a huge fan of rainbows and I fell in love with this cut file one available from the Silhouette Design store. As the colours of Daydream are muted I decided to cut the file in black to provide a stark contrast. I cut my white cardstock down to 10×10 inches, splashed with black paint and then machine stitched onto the base paper cresting a larger border.

I added the rainbow strips using a large and small floral, then a block colour piece. I added the heart paper pieces using the lightest colour to balance out the colours and patterns.

I next added my photo and used a wood grain photo frame die cut. I fussy cut some smaller flowers and added to the bottom of the frame. I added the sun sticker from the accessory sticker sheet tucking it under my frame and finished off adding a phrase sentiment tab and butterfly die cut. All of this draws your eye to the photo.

I next created my title using a die cut title word and also words from the accessory sticker sheet. I added the title die cut with foam tape to add dimension and added over the hearts at the bottom of the rainbow die cut.

I created a journalling block fussy cutting out of one of the pocket cards from the collection. I cut it straight and attached under the white cardstock as I forgot to add before I added the black machine stitching! I had to add a fabric Puffy Heart just because I love them.

Lastly I added a floral cluster to the right top side of the rainbow, slightly tucking them under and then finished off with another butterfly added with foam tape. I am so glad I went with the black accents as I think it really gives this layout a bit of a wow factor.

As always thank you for stopping by today and I hope this layout has inspired you to get out your Daydream collection and get creating with it again. See you again soon!

Happy Heart | Storyteller Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! Today I am sharing a grid type layout using hexagons. I am using the beautiful Storyteller collection.

I have used a hexagon cut file from the Silhouette design store which I cut in white. I used the A5 paper pad to paper piece the hexagons, I love how you have smaller print designs in the paper pad and it saves your 12×12 paper for larger projects. I also fussy cut some elements from the project life cards.

 

I created embellishment clusters on the hexagons using them as a grid. I used foam tape to add many of the embellishments as it adds dimension. Using different embellishment types such as floral ephemera, wood epoxy  buttons and accessory stickers adds texture.

I love using the word and phrase sentiments from the accessory stickers as my journaling. I fussy cut some butterflies and added over my page. I decided to cut my photo as a hexagon also and matted it so it would contrast against the smaller hexagons. I then created a floral cluster over and under my photo.

This photo shows the visual impact using foam tape and different textures on your layout can make, it really does stop it look ‘flat’. Also layering is a key, layering under and over.

Lastly I used the foam title stickers to create my title, the black foam is a wonderful contrast against a white background. A simple layout that was fun to put together!

Thank you for stopping by and see you again later in the month.

Holly Jolly Christmas | Merry & Bright Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Hello! It’s Michelle here today with a new layout share for you all. I’ve continued on with my Christmas crafting in January using the Merry & Bright Collection and a bunch of fun and oh so flattering photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.

I based this layout off one that I made a few years back that grouped photos together over a chunk of pattern paper with a big floral cluster underneath. This was a fun layout to recreate, even with the cringeworthy photos I chose.

All papers used are from the Merry & Bright Collection with a mix of both 12×12 and A5 papers used. Jingle all the Way was the paper of choice to use behind all the photos, combined with a strip of Happy Holidays to use as a base for the title.

I added a massive cluster of florals under the title banner using the wreath design from the Happy Holidays paper along with a mix of ephemera and fussy cut florals from the A5 version of Joy to the World.

Different forms of adhesive used for this cluster to achieve dimension of all kinds.

I used my all time favourite white alphas for the title, with a pop of machine stitching to keep them in place for years to come.

I added more fussy cut florals around the page and tucked in ephemera pieces, accessory stickers and even layered in a couple of old school doilies within the photo groups. Also, please excuse the hot mess shown above, we were having a little too much fun with the photo booth set up haha

Even the sweet doggo’s made an appearance in this layout.

The papers used to back the photos all came from scraps I had left from past projects, with the addition of some vellum behind a couple.

Here’s a final look at the entire layout, splattered with gold ink to finish it off.

Well thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
