Life is a Beach! | Sunkissed Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends, it may be winter here in Australia but in my craft room it is summer! I am still using my sun kissed collection and loving it!

I was set the challenge to scrap lift Tarrah, it took me ages to decide on a layout as she has created so many gorgeous layouts. Finally I settled on this one.

And here is my take on her sketch (I may have taken a little creative license!).

I used a palm leaf cut file from the Silhouette design store. So I could lift it somewhat (so it didn’t appear ‘flat’, I cut one in white and then another (using the off set function) using the Sunny Days paper. As in Tarrah’s layout I used a project life card from the collection, I just repositioned mine.

Once I had added my photo I created an embellishment cluster tucking die cuts under my photo, adding wooden epoxy button and finishing off adding a clear sticker paint brush stroke.

I next created a tropical floral cluster, the larger one being a cut file and the others from the floral ephemera pack adding some of the flowers and leaves from the Puffy Stickers pack.

To finish off I added some puffy stickers on my photo, added a die cut ticket and then lightly splashed my layout with some white paint. If you like multiple photos you could replace the project life card and add another photo! Isn’t it mazing how different a sketch can look just by changing the collection!

Thank you for stopping by today and see you again soon!

Carnac | Sunkissed Layout | Anna Komenda

Hello scrappy people! It’s Anna here with my newest page made with gorgeous “Sunkissed” collection. This time I used this line to scrapbook some travel related photos from our trip to Carnac menhirs. It was really hot day and there was almost no shadow on the site. Really hard conditions to appreciate neolithic stones but we managed to survive :) “Sunkissed” is filled with summer related items mostly but you can use for more travel vibe pages too. I benefited from colorful paper patterns by backing the cut file filled with words about travelling. With such a colorful bakcground, you didn’t need much of embellishing!

I started with putting my digital die cutting machine in use after few months of break. I forgot how fun is it to incorporate this kind of elements into the pages. Backing the words with various pattern papers like: “Growing wild“, “Sunny days“, “Just chillin“, “Fun in the sun“, “Feelin fine“, “Bright side” and paper stack went pretty quick. Harder part was deciding where I want my photos to be places. Whole paper is filled with titles so I knew I need to cover some of them.

I managed to squeeze the photos on top of one bigger word having the rest of them visible and easy to read. I added few smaller elements from ephemera pack around the pictures, with a small individual title on top of them. As this is more travel than summer themed page I only picked more generic ones, skipping beach items and exotic drinks :)

I filled empty spots between the words using clear stickers like colorful arrows and paint strokes. They work perfectly with white background. I also added few puffy stickers here and there and my favorite wooden buttons. Colorful pattern papers are the main star of the page and I didn’t want to overshadow them.

I just love the final result and possibilities “Sunkissed” collection gives. I love squeezing out as much as possible from the papers themselves and those simple and fun patters are just perfect. White background makes them really pop.

I am sure it’s not my last word when it comes to this amazing, colorful collection. I still have so many ideas! Thank you so much for stopping by and see you in June!

XO Anna

Life is Good | Sunkissed collection | Sophie Delorme

Hello Cocoa Vanilla friends !

It’s Sophie here and I have a cute layout to share !

 

My assignement today was to incorporate the use of punches and/or dies on my page.

I used the beautiful Sunkissed collection again. Just can’t get over those bright and summery colors !

I wanted to use some beautiful scalloped dies from my stash as a design element on my page. They are from Pinkfresh Studio. The “Just Chillin’” wood grain paper is my main background paper. I also used the “Summer Lights” and “Good Vibrations” papers for the two other scalloped borders.

 

I used a photo of me and my dog “talking” to each other on the front porch on a beautiful sunny day. I backed it with tissue paper, adhesive foam and pieces of patterned papers from the A5 Paper Stack.

I used Clear Stickers for my “Life is Good” title that I first sticked to white cardstock, cut it out and placed it on the top left corner of my photo.

 

I wrote down my journaling on a 3×4 card.

I created a floral cluster (Floral Ephemera pack) around the journaling card and scattered some flowers around my photo and on the scalloped borders as well.

 

I created a cute yellow bow with one of my punches, added some clouds and a few Wood Epoxy Bottons as the finishing touch.

Here are more close-ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love how it turned out !

It’s time to dust off those old punches and dies !!!

Thank you for passing by, and happy creating !

Love This | Unforgettable Collection | Melissa Vining

Hello everyone! It’s Melissa here and I’m thrilled to be back with a layout I created for Throwback Thursday!  I always love when its my turn to use an older collection, and today I decided to go back to 2019 when life was what we considered normal! I created my layout with the beautiful Unforgettable collection, and I specifically wanted to challenge myself to use a cut apart patterned paper as a full sheet.  The paper I chose to use is ‘Pretty Bits’ and ordinarily I would cut this paper up to use as layers, or use it to back a cut file.  The photos are of my youngest daughter Ava with a friend who my little girls consider to be their older sister!

I used black embroidery thread to stitch between the lines of the different papers and I love how it created a pocket page look, but without the pockets.

I decided to place my two photos on two patterns that were small and repeating.  I used papers from the ‘6×8 Inch Paper Stack’ and distressed the edges.  I also cut out some of the smaller cut aparts from the paper stack because the smaller size was perfect to use as embellishments for my page.

The top left hand part of the paper had a very subtle black floral on white which was perfect for my title.  I used several of the ‘Clear Stickers’ and even layered them to create a mixed media look.  I created my title from two of the ‘Foam Title Stickers’ and placed them directly on top of the clear stickers.  I love how this turned out, and I added a fussy cut butterfly.

For my journalling I used a circular frame from the ‘Die Cut Ephemera’ pack and I glued it onto the striped side of ‘Sprightly’ so that I could use the lines for my hand writing.  I embellished with a ticket from the Die Cut Ephemera, a ‘Flair Button’ and another fussy cut butterfly.

The bottom left had side part of the paper had 4 larger butterflies printed on it.  I fussy cut the same butterflies from another piece of the same paper, and then adhered them by glueing the centres and lifting up the wings and adding dimension.  I also added lots of subtle shimmer to the butteries, and several other features on the layout.

I made a video of my process which you can watch below.

I hope I’ve inspired you to use a cut apart as a whole entire sheet.

Have a lovely rest of your week!

Melissa xx

What the Fun | Sunkissed and Boys Rule collections | INSD challenge | Sue Plumb

Hi everyone, it’s Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you. I hope everyone had a chance to celebrate InterNational Scrapbook Day (INSD) last weekend with a bit of creative time? Maybe even one of our special INSD challenges? If you haven’t had a chance to play along yet you still have a couple of days to get your entries in.
In fact, it was one of the challenges that inspired my layout for today, as I played along with Michelle’s “Grab 5” challenge. Here are the challenge criteria:
For my page I decided to document a fun photo of my boys that I took recently at SeaWorld. I used a combination of the ‘Sunkissed’ and ‘Boys Rule’ collections, and went bright, bold and a bit messy!
I started with a sheet of the Summer Lights paper from the ‘Sunkissed’ collection, which features a stunning colour gradient that runs from yellow at the to, through orange and pink, and finally to red at the bottom. It was absolutely perfect to match with my photo. (In fact, when I took this photo I thought of this paper right away – that’s when you know you are a true scrapper! haha)
I began by dry brushing on some black acrylic paint using a wide brush. This not only provided some great contrast, but also defined the focal area of my page. Over the top of the paint I added the white die cut star background. This left-over piece was actually part of the ‘Boys Rule’ Large Die Cut and Backing Kit. I like the way it added interest to the background right away.
Next, I added more patterned papers with a variety of different sized pieces from both collections that I cut and tore then layered together. I also added a green paper doily and some frayed gauze from my stash and used staples to secure my stack down on the page. I then added my photo on top.
When it came to embellishments, I wanted to ensure that I ticked off the sticker criteria first. I used  mix of Accessory and Clear Stickers that I had left-over from ‘Boys Rule’. I also used some Chipboard Pieces and Die Cut Ephemera from the same collection. The sweet little Wood Button was from ‘Sunkissed’. To the right of my photo I added a handmade star embellishment which I topped with a Flair Button.
To add some extra interest to my background I added some stamping using a small stars background stamp and a roller phrase stamp.
Now it was time to finish off my page and tick off the remaining criteria. For something gold I added a few pieces of gold twisted wire, which I stapled down onto the page. For stitching, I added small hand stitched crosses using white embroidery thread. And finally, I added some splatters of white acrylic ink and that was all five criteria covered.
I had a lot of fun putting this layout together and I hope I have inspired you to play along with one of our INSD challenges while you still have time. Entries to the challenges close at midnight (AEST) this Sunday, 9th May. You can find all the challenge rules, or upload your entries via the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Community group.
Until next time, happy scrapping!

Super Awesome Adventure | Legendary Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts back again with another boy layout featuring the Legendary collection. I absolutely loved this Brave Heart mixed media style patterned paper, but didn’t want it to over power my photos. So, by layering white cardstock between the mixed media paper and the gray dot paper, the two work better together! I love the little photo corners I cut out of some scraps to give the center area a bit of dimension.

The title is from the clear sticker sheet, thought it has the look of handwriting or stamping! A small cluster of stars in several places on the layout were the minimal embellishing I added to this page. Most of the stars are fussy cut from the All Star patterned paper, but some are punched from scraps. Small dots of gold Nuvo Drops and gold ink splatter, along with hand-drawn stars add tiny details to each cluster.

I puzzled these photos together with the intention of creating the look of a modified grid, balanced, but yet off-kilter. I think this design works beautifully with these photos because it illustrates the nature of the castle featured there.  My favorite part of this layout is the clear sticker “Epic” on my photo with word phrases underneath. That small detail is just awesome!

 

I hope this layout inspires you to have some fun with the bold colors and patterns in the Legendary collection! To see how the “Super Awesome Adventure” layout came together, check out the process video below!
