Daydream Accessory Stickers

Throwback Thursday | DayDream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS crafty friends, if its Thursday then its a throwback layout today! I have used Daydream to create my layout and just couldn’t go past the rainbow paper no matter how hard I tried lol!

I fussy cut the rainbow strips and machine stitched each one. I dug deep to find the cloud paper from the Sugar and Spice collection (now that is going back a long way!!!), how perfect does the rainbow go on this paper. I punched some hearts in a coordinating colour for the two large rainbow strips and then added them with foam tape to create a 3D effect.

I tucked a sun die cut behind the rainbow and finished this off with a die cut heart. I next added a journal blog and prettied it up with lots of florals. I will go back later and add some journalling.

I used two frames from the die cuts to highlight my photos. I used the same photo twice but cropped the second photo focusing on our faces. I love using the phrase sentiment tabs from the accessory sticker sheet on my photos to stop them looking too plain but not overly distracting from the actual photo. I added two phrase sentiment stickers under my photo.

Lastly I added my title using the die cut titles, Happy days which I added with foam tape to create more dimension and finished off by adding some die cut butterflies also added with foam tape.

 

I love how this turned out! I think it is always good to revisit older collections as you tend to see and use them differently second time around. Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon!

Follow the Bunny he has Chocolate! | Daydream Collection | Rachel Lowe

There are Easter eggs and hot cross buns in the shop which means Easter is coming! I love creating for Easter, the colours, cute animals and an opportunity to gift your creations to others.

Today I am sharing a super cute Easter themed layout featuring my girl! Daydream collection is perfect for Easter themed paper creations don’t you think!

I firstly added a mixed media background choosing the blue/grey to add a contrast to my chosen papers. I next found a super cute bunny rabbit cut file from the Silhouette Design store. Instead of adding a pom pom to create the tail I decided to create a rosette to add extra dimension and visual interest. I also added some glitter to the rosettes for effect.

I cut a half rainbow from the journal cards paper which I tucked behind the smaller bunny and then added my photo over it. I matted my photo which is 3.5×3.5 inches, my photo is added with foam tape and finished off my adding a phrase sentiment tab from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

I found the perfect title for my layout from the Silhouette Design store, I did work out the placement before gluing anything down!

I fussy cut some butterflies from the 12×12 inch paper and added with foam tape except the yellow one which I tucked to the right of my photo.

Lastly I created a flower cluster under my larger bunny which add another contrast against the blue bunny, and to be honest every pretty layout needs flowers!

And there you have it, my first Easter project of 2023! This layout is a great way to use up smaller paper pieces and still create a fab layout.

As always, thank you for stopping by and see you later in the month where I will be sharing a BOY layout just to mix things up a bit!

Favourite Moments | Daydream collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout created for the Throwback Thursday feature this week.

I chose to pull out the STUNNING Daydream collection as I had the perfect photo to document using this gorgeous collection! The photo is of myself with my crafty friends from a recent macrame workshop where we made rainbows. Just love how my rainbow turned out!

I chose a rainbow style background cut file from Paper Issues and cut it out from white cardstock, I then adhered the cut file to a sheet of the peachy coloured paper in the Daydream collection. I really love the effect of the cut file against the background paper. I backed my photo with one of the papers from the A5 paper stack and distressed the edges with my edge distresser tool. I like the texture this gives to the edges. I adhered the photo to the centre of my page and layered some papers and embellishments underneath.

My title is made up of a word from the awesome die-cut titles and an ephemera piece from the ephemera pack. I popped up both pieces with some pop dots and placed the title slightly on the left at the bottom of my photo. I tucked in one of the gorgeous fabric puffy hearts behind the Favourite ephemera piece and also chose some of the gorgeous rainbow die-cuts to adhere here as well. I used different size adhesive so that there were layers to my layout, I like how this creates shadows on my page.

On the right of my photo, I pulled out more rainbow pieces in both accessory stickers and ephemera pieces too and adhered them the same as the other side with different levels of adhesive for a layered effect and to create shadows. Another gorgeous puffy heart was also tucked in and I adhered some gorgeous, small floral ephemera pieces too. When I create my layouts, I will always place and adhere the larger things on my page first like the photo, a cut file and a title. From there my next step is to add the smaller embellishments like die-cuts, frames, chipboard etc and work down to even smaller embellishments again like enamel dots, sequins and small stickers.

I like to audition things before I completely commit to them staying on the layout so I will choose something I want to add and then I try it in a few different places before I am happy with how it looks, I take into consideration the colour, the size and if it balances with other things also on the page, I try to achieve the visual triangle on my pages so that my layouts are pleasing to the viewers eye. The last thing I did on this layout was added a few sequins and sprinkled some gold mist around my page.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I love how my layout turned out and I hope you enjoyed reading how I created it!

Happy creating!

Oh You | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends today I have a 8.5 x 11 inch layout to share with you using Daydream collection. There is nothing cuter than a baby themed layout and Daydream has enough elements to create this theme.

I love this clipboard cut file (available in the Silhouette design store) and wanted to frame my photos in a unique way. I cut two, the first to add my photo and the second which is smaller to add journalling. The woodgrain paper for the clipboard. I used the Daisy Days  paper using the blue daisy side on the larger clip board and the reverse side on the smaller one. I added machine stitching to these two paper pieces and added to the woodgrain paper piece. I then added to my clipboard with foam tape to add dimension.

I used the Accessory Sticker sheet to add my journalling to the smaller clipboard.  I tucked two small floral die cuts and then layered a moth over the top with foam tape. I added the clip with foam tape and finished off by adding two tiny flowers and a paintbrush stroke clear sticker under this embellishment cluster.

I added another layer of paper on the larger board, adding a paper square behind my photo (which is 3×3 inches). I added my photo with foam tape again to add dimension and tucked a tab under the top of the photo. I created a large floral embellishment using die cut ephemera cluster, layering and adding foam tape to some of the flowers. As my photo has some negative space I added a cute flair.

Before adding the clip to the top of the board I added an eyelet and threaded a heart charm. Lastly I added my title.

I used die cut titles to create part of my title, so these did not appear ‘flat’ I added with foam tape. I just had to add puffy hearts and created the other part of my title using a die cut phrase.

I love how this layout turned out with the beautiful rich colours, texture and dimension. Baby collections can be limiting in use so being able to use a collection that lends itself to a variety of themes is great and Daydream is that collection.

Thank you for stopping by today and I have a feeling that my next few layouts maybe all boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shine On | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! A special mention to those still in lockdown, it certainly has been a tough few months here in Australia. I hope crafting is keeping you sane. Today I have a layout created with Daydream collection.

I found this gorgeous heart pie graph in the Silhouette Design Store and thought it perfect to use various papers all in one cut file! I have used Daisy Days, All A Flutter and Garden Variety papers.

Once I had adhered my heart, off centre, I set about creating a floral embellishment cluster to the top right of my base paper (yes I am back to white cardstock lol!). I used the die cut ephemera and used foam tape so these elements had dimension.

Once I added my 4×5 inch photo I set about creating a floral cluster cascading down my page, some of the top flowers added with foam tape so this cluster did not look ‘flat’. Having a whole pack of ephemera floral die cuts a certainly allows you to create larger and more interesting clusters. To make it even prettier I added some of the Daydream sequins. I also added some jewel drops to the centres.

To connect my heart with the floral clusters I added die cut butterflies ‘flying’ from one element to the other. Again I used foam tape and jewel drops on the butterfly wings.

I used the Accessory Sticker Sheet to add embellishments to ‘frame’ my photo, tucking some under my photo which again stops your layout looking ‘flat’. I of course had to add a rainbow finished off with one of the flairs from the collection. I added my title Shine On which is also from the accessory sticker sheet. Curving it around the top f the heart adds visual interest.

There is plenty of room to add two photos or a larger one on this heart, you could also make this heart larger if you have a cutting machine. You could use this design using the new These Days collection too.

I love creating pretty and girly layouts, this turned out just perfect, how could it not be pretty using such pretty product! Thank you for stopping in today, stay safe and stay safe, and keep on creating!

Everyday Family Moments | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Recently my cat of 18 years passed away. Although she was old it still hurt my heart greatly and when looking back at old photos I realised that I had not taken enough photos of her through the years. We often  take everyday moments for granted and losing her reminded me that photographing and documenting everyday moments is just as important as life highlights. I have used the beautiful Daydream collection and with her being a ginger cat the colours in this collection were perfect.

I found my title in the Silhouette Design Store. I used the off set function (if you have a Silhouette Cameo) to create depth to it and creating light/shade by using these two papers, All A Flutter and Happy Place. I finished off adding some of the tiny flowers from the ephemera die cut pack.

I tore three paper strips from the All A Flutter  Daisy Days and Garden Variety papers. I love the texture torn paper strips gives your layout. As I had chosen a busy paper I chose not to mat my photo (5×6 inches) but adding with foam tape to give it height.

Despite using the floral papers I went ahead and added two floral bunches on each side of my photo, not only does this frame my photo it allows you to layer with foam tape large florals so they stand out. Adding green foliage also adds impact and draws your eye.

I created some journalling by using words from the Accessory Sticker Sheet and the beautiful rainbow flair, I added some gold thread behind the flair to add a little sparkle!

I typed her name and dates slightly under the torn paper strips. (if your wondering why she had a boys name is because we assumed that as ginger cats are mostly boys, the vet later let us know ‘he’ was a ‘she’, a bit late to change the name lol!!) I added some butterflies from the die cut ephemera pack.

I finished my layout off adding one of the beautiful Puffy Hearts with a little more gold thread added.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Easter Gift Boxes and Card | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends, today I want to share some quick and easy gift boxes and a card I have created using Daydream Collection. With Easter not far away (and I love easter creating way more than Christmas) Daydream was perfect with  its beautiful muted colours to create Easter paper crafts.

You can find the milk carton cut file in the Silhouette Design Store. I cut the base of the milk cartons using Stepping Stones paper. I used papers from the 6×8 inch paper stack to cut the tops, using Garden Variety, Up in the Clouds and Sweet Serenity designs.

Next I cut three bunnies again using the 6×8 inch paper stack papers, I embossed the bunnies cut from plain paper but left the floral bunny as it was patterned. I added a small pom pom for the tails. Next I added word sentiments from the Accessory sticker sheet.

I cut three rosettes to attach my bunnies to, this really adds a wow factor. I then added some die cut ephemera to embellish. These will be filled with sweet treats and given as gifts.

I made this super cute Easter card which is so easy to put together and time friendly. I cut a 5×5 inch paper strip using the Garden Variety paper again. I then added Happy Place paper to back the circle wreath die cut piece. Before adding this to the centre of my card I added some sparkley ribbon. I cut another bunny (different style) resized it to fit my card and added off centre in the wreath. I added a pom pom tail and a phrase sentiment from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

 

I had so much fun making these Easter projects and who needs an Easter collection when you have Daydream collection. Thank you for stopping by today and I will be back soon with a layout using the new Sunkissed collection!

Happy Days | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hi there CVS friends, today I am sharing a layout created with Daydream. I have been wanting to scrap this photo of my daughter out side the Notre-Dame Cathedral since it was almost completely destroyed in a fire. I of course I had to use Daydream and incorporate the rainbow paper!

I am loving that paper tearing and torn strips are back in and now I no longer a novice in scrapbooking I love tearing paper!!!!! I think the up in the clouds is perfect to use as my happy sky in this layout. I next used the  sun shine paper on the bottom of my page and lastly used all aflutter paper. Once I had adhered my torn strips I rolled some of the edges back to expose the colour.

I added a floral bunch cascading onto the white base paper, using several flower and leaves from the die cut ephemera pack. I also added a phrase sticker from the accessory sticker sheet.

Paper strips are a great way to tuck elements under as I have here, a butterfly which looks like it is ‘flying out of the paper piece and my place and date journalling.

I matted my photo (which is 4 x 4 inches) on a 4.1 x4.1 inches of stepping stones paper. I added my photo with foam tape to add dimension. I used some phrase sentiment die cut banners to draw your eye to the photo.

Lastly I added my title and used Happy Days from the die cut ephemera pack. I used foam tape to add these, again to create a 3d effect on my page.

Remember tearing paper is not an exact science and you can only roughly measure by eye the paper strip sizes you want, the rest is up to the universe!!!!!!!! Just tear away!

Thank you for stopping by today and I have loved seeing all your Daydream layouts on FB and IG, all amazing.

Happy Days | Daydream collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

It’s Tarrah back with you today to share a new project featuring the stunning Daydream collection. I decided to create something a little different for my project today. I have created a round canvas wall hanging for my craft room!

I chose a 12′ size round canvas and chose the gorgeous Over the Rainbow paper for the background. I traced the canvas onto the paper and free hand cut it out. I used a strong glue to adhere the paper to the canvas, making sure there weren’t too many bubbles. On the left, the paper didn’t quite reach to cover up the canvas so I improvised and covered it with lots of gorgeous florals from the ephemera pack. I used glue and craft foam here for different heights of dimension.

On the right of the canvas I created another cluster of florals to balance with the cluster on the left. I used both glue and foam tape here again for dimension. Once the florals were all dry I bent up the edges of the flowers and leaves for even more dimension.

On the left side of the canvas I just had to include the journal card that reads, ‘These Are a Few of My Favourite Things” from the Happy Place paper. It is the perfect phrase to suit my craft room! At the top of the rainbow, I chose a few of the heart die-cuts in various colours and added these using craft foam for dimension. In the centre of the canvas I added craft foam underneath my title – ‘Happy Days’ – after all every day is a happy day in my craft room! I added 3 butterflies and moths here also along with, ‘The Good Life’ phrase from the ephemera pack. One of the super cute puffy hearts made it on and also some more heart die-cuts.

Once I was happy with the front, I felt the outside was too bare so I trialed a few different trims from my stash finally settling on some lace that I felt matched the prettiness and girly feel of the canvas.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you enjoyed my project today and that you are inspired in some way. Make sure to get yourself the beautiful Daydream collection from the online store now if you don’t already have it!

Happy creating!

One Little Word 2021 | Daydream Collection | Rachel Lowe

Happy New Year CVS friends! At the beginning of each new year I choose one little word to try and guide what I am striving to achieve (a different version of a New Years resolution started by Ali Edwards). This year I chose the word Progression (not perfection), the anxiety and stress that perfection can cause is now replaced with progression. So here is my layout which is all about my new OLW.

I went back to the beautiful Daydream collection after a month of Christmas scrapping! I have used Garden Variety paper as my background paper because I really can’t get enough of these florals. I add a 10×10 inch white cardstock to the centre and then added some messy machine stitching using a blue thread to help frame it.

I used a cut file to layer on top of the white cardstock, I chose another piece of cardstock which coordinated with the pink hues in the florals. I created a polaroid frame using Sweet Serenity paper, before adhering to my page I created a floral cluster cascading out of the right side of frame using the florals from the die cut ephemera pack.

To finish off this embellishment cluster I added an accessory sticker to my frame, flair and lastly a puffy heart. Next I focused on my title. I cut my word progress using the blue side of Garden Variety paper (Word from Silhouette Design store). I typed ‘not perfection’.

To tie it to the rest of the elements I added a rainbow and flower from the die cut ephemera pack which I added with foam tape and then added the first of the moth die cuts which flows to the circle on my page.

I added moth die cuts around the circle to finish off my page. I also went back and added drops of NUVO jewel drops to the petals and leaves.

Well thats it from me today, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
