Happy notebook | Happy Days Collection | Anna Komenda

Hello crafty Friends. It’s Anna here with my second June post. This one is related to the first post, where I shared with you four cards for the teachers of my daughter. I also made matching notebook to go with one of the cards, using the same colorful and pretty “Happy days” collection.

As always I made it from scratch, starting with the covers, through all the pages and connected everything with a transparent, plastic spring. My covers are cut from the white cardboard and wrapped with blue cardstock. You can use pattern papers for this purpose too but it would require using up two the same ones from my precious pile and I wasn’t ready to say good bye to them. That’s why I chose blue cardstock.

Covers are decorated with beautiful rainbow pattern called “Lollipops”, both on the front and on the back. I added this fun texture of stitches using jagger. You can but it very cheap in sewing stores or departments. As this notebook will be used frequently, I couldn’t add too many embellishments to the cover. They would fall out easily and it would be hard to write on the left sides of paper. I picked few pieces from Ephemera Pack and few flowers from Floral Ephemera Pack and glued them down.

Inner covers are decorated with filled with words “Definituve” paper. Back cover also got a useful pocket for any loose pieces of paper or keepsakes. Notebook carry 120 sheets of checkered paper and few decorative dividers. Those dividers are made with A5 Paper Stack as they are just a perfect size!

Each one is also decorated with ephemera pieces and stickers from 6*12 Sticker Sheet. I even added stickers to some of the pages to make them prettier. First divider could be a little bit bulkier so I also added “My days” wording with Chipboard Titles.

With all the elements ready, I could use my old but still good Cinch machine to bind everything together. I could use metal wire but I chose plastic spring instead. They are both equally good. I just liked the transparent look better.

I hope my little gift will bring joy to my kid’s favorite teacher. Now it’s time for two months long vacation! Summer is in full swing and we can’t wait to soak up the sun.

Thank you so much for spending your precious time with me. Sending you lot’s of hugs.

Love this beautiful day | Happy Days collection | Sophie Delorme

Hello friends!

It’s Sophie with you today and a beautiful and simple layout to share, created with the Happy Days collection!

 

I went for a grid design and selected a few patterned papers from the A5 paper stack, and used a scalloped circle die from my stash to cut 6 scalloped circles.

I aligned them in two horizontal lines on a white background cardstock.

I cut three photos of my dog Fiona in a circular shape and placed them on three of the circles.

 

I mounted everything on adhesive foam.

My title is a mix of the Accessory Stickers, Mini Puffy Alphabet stickers and an ephemera.

 

I embellished the page in a color block manner with floral die cuts, fussy cut flowers and butterflies, a few accessory stickers and a paper bow.

Here are more close-ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, this page was very simple and easy to make! I love the result and hope you do too!

Happy crafting!

Days Like These | Happy Days & Sunkissed | Kellie Moore

Hey everyone and welcome back for another share from me combining the new ‘Happy Days’ collection mixed with the older ‘Sunkissed’ collection. These two lines combine beautifully, so if you have them both, have a go and mxing them together! Here is my page…

My jumping off point was the rainbow paper from Happy Days called ‘Sunshine Lollipops’. I cut two 2 inch strips and adhered them down to each side of my page. To add some interest I also tore some of the ‘Feel Good‘ paper and had it popping out from underneath.

I have 2 photos on my page which I double matted using papers from the A5 paper stack from the Sunkissed collection.

Next, I worked on my title. I used a cutfile from Peartree Cutfiles. Instead of backing it with patterned papers I decided to use my distress oxides in matching colours to create an ombre effect.. I love how this turned out. Backing the cutfile onto some black cardstock really makes the title pop off the page. I also added some blue oxide behind my title.

Once I decided where I wanted my photos to go, the white cardstock needed some colour so I used a stencil to add some yellow suns to my page.

All of my embellishments come from the Sunkissed collection.

Next to the left photo I added a palm tree and flip flops from the ephemera pack and a starfish puffy sticker. On the bottom right there is a pineapple and flower puffy sticker.

Above my photos I have used a cloud, rainbow and word tab from the ephemera pack and a sticker from the Accessory Sticker Sheet.

To finish my page, I have added some heart puffy stickers and some of the word phrases from the Accessory Sticker Sheet.

I hope you have enjoyed my page today, and have found some inspiration!

Till next time

Days Spent with You | Happy Days collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share a new layout showcasing the fabulous new Happy Days collection. This week our design team are sharing projects that feature the Puffy Alpha Stickers. My favourite way to use these sweet little alphas is to combine them with a larger alpha to create a longer title. This is exactly what I did on this page that documents a selfie of my hubby and I.

I started this layout off by trimming down a sheet of white cardstock and matting it on the gorgeous magenta Flutterby paper. I added a doodled border around the white cardstock to add some further definition and interest. Next I cut two triangles, one larger than the other, out of the beautiful yellow Feel Good paper, and adhered these on each side of the page. I matted my photo with a paper from the A5 Paper Stack and adhered that over the larger triangle on the left hand side of the page.

I love all of the different colour combinations that can be used from this one collection, and for this layout I decided to focus on the teal, magenta and yellow. I chose flowers in these three colours from the Floral Ephemera pack to create my floral clusters. To create interest and dimension I love to layer some flowers under the photo and others on top. I added one cluster to the top right hand corner of the photo, and another to the bottom left.

I created a third cluster in the bottom right hand corner of the page, over lapping the smaller yellow triangle. Again I created dimension within the cluster by adhering some elements with foam tape.

As I said, I love to combine the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers with words from the Chipboard Titles. By using the mini puffy alphas, it enables me to create a longer title that also doubles as my journalling. These sweet little alphas are so fun and colourful and add so much interest to the page!

I finished the layout off with some cute banners in the top right hand corner of the page, a couple of little phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker Sheet, and of course a sprinkling of hearts from the Die Cut Ephemera and the Puffy Sticker Pack.

I hope that you enjoyed taking a look at my layout and seeing how I used the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers on my page. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Fun Happy Days Together | Happy Days collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new scrapbook layout with you featuring the GORGEOUS Happy Days collection!

For this layout, I am documenting a recent photo of myself and my 2 sons. It is not very often that we get a photo together so when we were together recently, I took the opportunity to snap a photo! I did print the photo in colour however as we are all mostly wearing black it goes with the Happy Days collection perfectly!

I started with a plain white cardstock background, as I often do and trimmed it down to 11′ x 11′ inches, adhering it to the ‘B’ side of the Flutterby paper. I then machine stitched a border around the outside of the layout to add some texture. Next I traced a dinner plate onto some cheap cardstock and free hand cut around the circle. I did not bother too much with how the circle was cut out as I knew that I would be covering it with lots of different patterned papers.

I took out the A5 paper stack and chose all of the different papers to include on the circle. I cut them into strips of different sizes and layered them over and under each other to create a shadows and dimensions on the circle. I adhered them all horizontally but changed the angles on many to create the eye catching look to the circle. I used craft foam and regular adhesive to create different heights and looks to the circle. Once I had completed the circle I added craft foam underneath the circle and adhered it to the centre of the white cardstock background. I love creating lots of dimension on my layouts!

I adhered my photo to the right hand side of the circle and also adhered the black and white doodled frame from the Ephemera pack to the outside of my photo. I love how the black in the frame helps to draw your eye to the photo amongst the busyness of the patterned papers. Next I decided to further enhance the photo by adding some of the gorgeous florals from the Floral Ephemera Pack. I added these tucked in and around the photo, using both foam tapes and regular tapes to adhere them. I also added one of the super cute Puffy Hearts to the bottom right corner and placed a tab sticker from the Accessory Sticker Sheet to the right side of the photo also.  On the left hand side of the photo, I adhered the Hello banner flag from the Ephemera pack.

Whenever I create a circular design, I like to be able to add embellishments and my title around the outside so I did this again using the Chipboard Alphabet Stickers to add my title. I spaced out the words so that you have to read around the circle which helps to draw the eye around the layout. In between the spaces I added Die-cuts, Puffy Hearts, Puffy Stickers, more Florals, and Accessory Stickers. On the actual circle, in between the paper layers, I placed some of the phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker Sheet, these help to tell the story about the photo I am documenting on my layout, more Puffy Stickers and some Die-cuts here also.

I absolutely LOVE how my layout turned out and hope you like it too?! I hope you can find some inspiration from my layout and create a similar page to mine using your Happy Days collection!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today!

Happy creating!

SPRING | HAPPY DAYS COLLECTION | SOPHIE DELORME

Hello friends!

It’s Sophie on the blog today with a new layout to share! I used the lovely new collection Happy Days again!

 

I cut three rectangles from the A5 Paper pack and stitched them down on white cardstock. I added a little scalloped border on their upper edge, and a zigzag stitch between them.

I printed a colorful photo of Sabrina and mounted it on tissue paper and foam adhesive. My title comes from a JustNickStudio alphabet cut file. I placed a smaller velum rectangle on the yellow one to soften it up so that my title stands out a bit more.

 

I added a beautiful bicycle die cut from the Ephemera pack and created a ground with watercolors from my stash. I fussy cut tiny little flowers that I scattered on the ground around the bicycle and wrote down my journaling on a sticker from the sticker sheet.

Here are more close-ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a very Springy page and I LOVE the bright color scheme!

Hope it can inspire you! Have an amazing day!

Choose Happy | Happy Days | Kellie Moore

Hello Cocoa fans, welcome back to the blog.

Today I have a page to share that features ‘watercolour’…this was my DT assignment, and I wont lie by saying I felt confident with this task. If you know my work, you know I’m not a huge user of mixed media. I love the look of it, but Im not confident but I gave it my best shot. Here is my page..

What I decided to do was use watercolour in a controlled way. I started with watering down some distress oxides in co-ordinating colours to the ‘Happy Days‘ collection, then I pulled out some alpha stamps from my stash. I used a paintbrush to paint on the colour onto my ink pads then stamped out some words onto white cardstock. Here is what it looks like close up..

 

I love the look of the words, they add a really unique look to my page. I used the paper ‘Flutterby’ as my main paper and layed it on top of a full 12×12 of the ‘Rainbow Bright’ paper. Next, i ripped down from the middle of the ‘Flutterby’ paper and added some of the ‘Little Blossom paper to the inside of the paper to add contrast.

Next, I started on my photo. I added a white border to my photo, then added a layer of the ‘Little Blossom’ paper and a layer of the ‘Feel Good’ paper. I then used one of the frame die-cuts (from the ephemera pack) cut in half to add to each side of my photo, and a label tab above my photo. I added some dimensional foam behind my photo to add dimension.

Now that I had my photo in place I decided to get my title in place. I used a label sticker from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet’ and some of the ‘Mini Puffy Alphabet’ stickers for the word ‘Choose’ then the word ‘Happy’ from the Die-Cut Ephemera. I added some yellow distress oxide under my title to make it pop and used some of the ‘Puffy Sticker’ hearts around it. At the bottom of the page I added some rainbows from the ‘Feel Good’ paper.

To finish off my page I added some more heart ‘Puffy Stickers’ above my photo and added some white ink splatters.

I hope you are inspired to create, and that you might try this watercolour technique or something similar …even if it is outside your comfort zone!

Thanks for stopping by today

Till next time

You Bring The Sunshine | Happy Days | Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the CVS blog everyone..I hope you are all well.

It’s Kellie here today sharing another page with the brand new ‘Happy Days’ collection.

For today’s page I decided to stick to the cooler tones of the collection… this is a favourite colour combo for me…blues and yellows make my creative heart happy. Here is a look at the completed page..

 

I had two photos I wanted to scrap so I decided I would place one on the top right and the other on the bottom left and make two large embellished areas on my page. These pics are photos of my youngest boy when we were in Fiji…they are super sweet!

To start, I decided to create some frames using a frame die and picked out some of the papers from the 6×8 paper pad.. using frames really help to make your photos pop on the page..you could get the same effect by making large matts around your photos.

Next I wanted to ground the photos so they weren’t floating on the page… so I cut some large strips to pop under my photos. On the top photo I used the paper ‘Feel Good’ and the strip under my bottom photos is called ‘Sunshine Lollipops’.

Next I moved on to embellishing around my photos. Firstly I picked out some of the black and white frames from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. I cut these in half and had them sticking out around my photos…this is a great way to stretch your supplies…two pieces for the price of one!!

On my top photo, I cut two word phrases from the 12 x12 cut apart paper called ‘ Feel Good’ and cut some of the hearts from the same paper to add to the bottom of my photo.. then above my photo I used a tab sticker and word phrase from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet.’

 

On my bottom photo, I picked out the ‘Hello’ banner and the ‘Best of Times’ from the  Die Cut Ephemera pack. Next to my left photo I used another tab sticker and word phrase from the Accessory Sticker sheet. I finished off my photo clusters with some florals I cut from the ‘Lush Blooms’ paper.

Next I worked on my title. I wanted to fill in the white space on the bottom right so this was the perfect spot. I used a mix of the Chipboard Title Stickers and the Mini Puffy Alphabets. Under the title I used a sun from the Die Cut Ephemera.

 

 

I wanted to balance my title so to the top right of my page I stencilled some clouds and used two clouds and a sun from the Die Cut Ephemera. To finish my page I added some of the heart Puffy Stickers.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, hopefully you found some inspiration from my page and you have been having fun with this gorgeous collection!

Stay scrappy!

So Fun | Happy Days Collection | Laura Alberts

 

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts here with a rainbow grid layout using the new Happy Days collection! I used four 3×4 photos of my child getting their hair bleached and dyed, which is a summer tradition of ours. I love the bold, vivid colors in this collection that were perfect for these photos!

Behind two of the photos I tucked frames from the specialty paper and I love the gold shimmer this gives to the layout! I added a banner on top of one and a cluster of hearts and flowers on the other. My title is from the chipboard and is added into the center of another frame.

For my journaling, I used a cut apart piece and incorporated it into the grid. For the embellishing, I stuck to small clusters around the page using fussy cut icons and ephemera. My favorite parts were the little butterfly trails and the puffy hearts!

I hope this layout inspires you to try the grid style! If you’d like to see “So Fun” come together, check out the process video below!

 

Hello Sunshine | Happy Days collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share a new layout featuring the gorgeous new Happy Days collection. For my project today, my task was to create a layout using a grid design. I love that there are so many ways that you can incorporate a grid into your layouts and it’s a design that I often fall back on when I’m feeling uninspired. Grid designs are all about using squares and/or rectangles, and the great thing is that you can include as few or as many photos as you want into your design. Here’s the page that I created, documenting a recent photo of my girls and I when we visited a sunflower farm.

My inspiration for the colour palette for this layout came from the Juicy Fruit paper. I love the yellows and oranges of the fruits, combined with the aqua/teal, and I decided to focus on those colours for this page as they complemented my photo perfectly. I started by cutting 2 inch squares out of papers from the A5 Paper Stack. The A5 papers are perfect for this sort of project as the patterns are smaller and it saves you from cutting into your larger 12 inch papers. Once I’d cut my squares out, I arranged them down the right hand side of a sheet of white cardstcock.

I also printed my photo as a square and positioned it amongst the smaller squares on the page. I pieced it all together a little like a puzzle until I was happy with the placement of everything. The photo was adhered with craft foam in order to give it some extra dimension on the page.

The fun part about creating a grid design layout is embellishing each of the sections in the grid. I added various die cuts and stickers to each of the squares in the grid, using foam tape to pop some up off the page. I tried to make sure that it looked well balanced by making sure that I didn’t have too much of one colour in any particular area.

For my title I used the lovely Chipboard Titles. I decided on using the ‘Hello Sunshine’ phrase as it was the perfect title for this sunshiney photo! I finished the layout off with some typed journaling strips, a doodled border, and a sprinkling of the sweet Puffy Heart Stickers.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today and I hope that you’ve been inspired by my grid design layout using the beautiful new Happy Days collection!
