My Sunshine | Daydream Collection | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 22/02/2023

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!

Paris in Spring | Storyteller Collection | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 21/10/2022

Hello CVS crafty friends! I have another spring themed layout to share this month. This time it is all about Paris in Spring featuring a photo of my daughter strolling in Paris. I have use the beautiful Storyteller collection.

I found a pretty floral frame cut file from the Silhouette Design store. I cut the floral piece using Little Love paper and paper backed them using Ditsy Daisy paper. I next added a bright blue water colour wash to my white card stock base. I then added the floral frame. I added some floral sprigs and leaves from the Floral die cut ephemera pack.

I next added my title. I used a mix of the Foam Title stickers and Accessory Sticker sheet. I then added a die cut camera and die cut butterflies, which I added with foam tape.

I added my 6×4 inch landscape photo which I matted on a blue paper piece from the A5 paper pad. I love the quote ‘the story behind the photo’ and the size perfect to fit under my photo with foam tape. I added one of the phrase sentiment die cuts to the top of my photo ‘love this’.

I went back and added centres to the floral die cut, some I cut from paper and others I added Wood Epoxy Buttons which adds dimension.

I love the mix of blue and yellow and with small pops of other colours and use of a small floral print finished of with a black title, so eye catching. Definitely Spring vibes here!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful week with lots of time to create!

You are Awesome | Storyteller collection | Kellie Moore

Kellie Moore 18/06/2022

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Cocoa Vanilla blog.

Today I’m sharing my first page using the new ‘Storyteller’ collection and it was so fun and overwhelming to jump into a brand new collection with so many things to choose from ….does anyone else have trouble making decisions when faced with ALL the choices?!

First, I decided on the ‘Cross it off ‘ paper to use as my base…I love a subtle grid for a background.

I decided to use a cutfile for my title so pulled out the A5 paper stack to back the letters….no having to cut into the 12×12 papers!! To help make the white of the cutfile stand out I added another piece of the ‘Cross it Off’ paper behind it.

To give some dimension, I added foam tape behind my title.

I loved these pics of my son from several years ago being a ham in front of the camera and his clothes were a perfect match for this collection. As they were action shots I decided to cut my photos into silhouettes so they added a fun element to my page. Next I chose a frame the Diecut ephemera pack to add under my sons pic to ground his photo to the page, and stop it look like he was floating.

I love the cameras in this collection and added one between my photos. To add some texture to my camera I added the inside of a ‘Wooden Button’ to the lens… I like the pop of yellow! I also added a sticker from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet.’

Give me all the puffy stickers in a collection, and the hearts and dots in this range wont disappoint you….so fun! I added some either side of my two photos.

I hope you enjoyed my page today and are looking forward to getting this collection in you hands…it’s not too far away now!

Happy Scrapping!

Magical Christmas Memories | Joyful Collection | Michelle Stokes

Michelle Stokes 10/01/2022

Hey Hey! It’s Michelle here with a new layout share featuring the wonderful Joyful Collection. A brilliant Christmas themed collection that was just right for documenting our sweet Doggo’s first Christmas. We had such a magical day, and this little fur ball absolutely loved the insane amount of wrapping paper we had around.

I started the base of the layout first by getting messy with some inks, water and plastic packaging. The best way to smoosh the colour on without getting too messy, although it does make the paper warp a little but nothing I cant handle.

I’ve used a cutfile from CUTtoYOU that I used on a previous layout, this time I flipped it around a little and cut it up to fill the corners of the layout rather than the centre. I backed each star (including the main large star) with different pattern papers from both the A5 paper stack and 12×12 papers, then adhered them to the background using double sided tape for a little dimension.

The sweet little photo of human kid and fur kid has been backed with the candy cane print from the A5 paper stack and adhered using more of that fabulous doubled sided tape. I added the tags (ephemera pack and pattern paper) to the top right of the photo to cover some of the junk thats shown in the background of the photo lol

In the top left corner I added some extra ephemera pieces along with some fussy cut stars to created an open cluster of sorts

I repeated the same elements in the other star groups at the bottom and right side of the layout.

Next up I added a mixed font title using the awesome gold puffy title stickers, my beloved white alphas and an ephemera piece. I sewed through the white alphas to ensure they stay put for years to come.

Heck how cute! I couldn’t pass up the chance to use this sweet little rabbit from the ephemera pack in this tiny bottom cluster.

And as a last minute addition to the already adhered layout, I added in a little pocket to the back of the photo and tucked in a journalling card from the pocket page cards pack. I embellished this with some ephemera pieces and accessory stickers then added the note about Daisy Doggo’s first Christmas.

Well friends thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by to see my first creation of 2022. I can’t wait to get back into the craft room to make more mess with this wonderful Joyful Collection!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Merry & Bright Layout | Joyful Collection | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 07/12/2021

Hello CVS friends today I have a sweet layout to share with you! This is my second share using the gorgeous Joyful collection, its such an easy collection to use as everything coordinates so beautifully!

I have only used 1 12×12 paper for this layout, all my other papers are from the 6×8 inch paper pad. I wanted to use the striped paper as my base paper so it would include all the colours from this collection. So it was not too dominant I added this scallop border cut file from the Silhouette shop which comes in the 8.5×11 inch size. This worked perfectly to tone down the strip whilst letting the colours still come through.

I next set about creating my Christmas tree. I wanted layers and texture, so I added borders and tiny felt pom poms. I used foam tape in-between some of the layers to create dimension. I chose several paper designs from the 6×8 inch pad which add visual interest to my tree. I used the chipboard Hohoho as my title and some holly on the dark green piece of the tree. I finished off this element by adding some of the stars from the puffy title stickers close around the tree to help draw your eye.

I added my super adorable photo matted on two different paper designs, of centre on an angel. I tucked these and my photo slightly under my tree to connect these two elements. Once I had added my photo I could see what space I had to add some fussy cut Christmas flowers to my tree.

I just had to create an embellishment cluster that included one of the adorable creatures, so I used the chipboard squirrel added with foam tape so I could tuck under a phrase sentiment from the die cut ephemera and puffy stickers adding more presents. could resist adding the beautiful bird sitting on holly at the top of my page. Lastly I added two wooden flairs, a small one to the top of my tree and a larger one slightly on my photo, I just had a add a deer somewhere!!!!!!

It was good to challenge myself NOT to use a white base paper and although there is a lot of colour going on in this layout the tree and embellishment clusters stop it looking to busy and overwhelming in colour.

Thank you for stopping by today and my last project for 2021 will be some cute Christmas crackers and gift tags!
