Great Escape puffy stickers

Wild & Free | Great Escape | Rachel Lowe

Today I am sharing another layout using the fab! Great Escape collection! This layout has been created using only the A5 Paper Pad.

The only thing you have to remember is that anything you cut must be 6×8 inches. This is a great way to either save your 12×12 inch papers or when your supply of the 12×12 inches papers is running low. I cut 10 scallop strips using different colours and patterns to create my background. So they stood out I added some black machine stitching to each strip.

I next cut my title Wild & Free using a cut file from the Silhouette design store which I then offset using a darker colour to add contrast so my title really popped on the white background paper.

Using another cut file from the Silhouette Design store, polaroid Frames, which I back filled with the journal cards also from the A5 paper pad. I added my two photos and set about embellishing this with Puffy Stickers, Accessory stickers and ephemera die cuts.

I used chipboard pieces to add over my scallop paper strips to add dimension. I layered the stars and used foam tape to add dimension.

This layout was super easy to put together and you could do a 8 1/2 x 11 inch version. You could also add larger photos or more photos. I love the colours of this collection and the A5 paper pad has some colours/designs that are not in the 12×12 collection pack.

As always thank you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to get out your A5 paper pad and think of ways you can use it to create a layout.

Wild Thing | Great Escape Collection | Rachel lowe

Hey crafty friends Rachel here! Today I have another layout created with the fabulous Great Escape collection. I have used a photo of my oldest boy who is now in the Air Force and has made this mum very proud.

I used this awesome geometric cut file from the Silhouette Design store and cut it in black for impact, I chose the Happy Camper orange side paper to back the cut file as it contrast so well. I used white cardstock as my base paper and added a grey/blue paint wash and splatters and added the Adventurer paper as a border.

I again used the Adventurer paper and cut a strip 4×9 inches and placed to the left of the circle cut file. I used the dark blue strip from the Wild Life paper over this trip. I next added my 6×4 portrait photo with foam tape so I could add elements under.

I used  chipboard pieces to add dimension to my layout and to emphasise the patterns of the paper. to ensure my photo did not get ‘lost’ amongst the patterns and colours I added clusters of embellishments around it. Layering over and under elements greats great visual interest.

I love the Puffy Title stickers and as you can see you on my layout I manipulated them to curve following the shape of the circle cut file. I added some Puffy Star stickers in amongst my colour wash to create the illusion of a sky.

I did try a coloured version of my photo but as there are many colours and patterns in this layout it just didn’t work but a black & white version really popped off the page!

Thank you for stopping by today and happy scrapping!

Fun Times | Great Escape | Rachel Lowe

Welcome to my my second layout created using the new fab Great Escape collection. I have scrapped a photo of son number two (I have three!!!) sitting in front of a rusting old car.

I chose this fab star cut file from the Silhouette design store and cut it in black to create a contrast. I chose the colourful striped Journey paper for the centre star and the green Direction paper for the outer smaller stars. I added foam tape to some of the smaller stars to create dimension.

I added my 3×5 inch photo which I matted on a paper from the A5 paper stack and added black machine stitching to create a border. I added two stickers to the top of my photo from the Accessory Sticker sheet. I went back and added several of the larger Die Cut Ephemera stars and then Puffy Stickers to the centres.

I then created an embellishments to each side of my photo, how cute is the car with luggage and map, perfect for my photo!

Next I used the Chipboard stickers to create my title, adding FUN to the bottom of my photo and TIMES under the photo, don’t be afraid to mix it up by making your title interesting in placement.

I used Wild Life paper as my background paper but felt it needed a darker contrast so add torn notebook edge (cut file from the Silhouette Design store) using Starry Night paper and finished off by adding black sitting to these.

This is a ‘busy’ layout for me but I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by today and see you agin soon.

Tasmania | Great Escape collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new travel layout featuring the new Great Escape collection. I decided to document our recent trip to Tasmania, printing a total of 6 favourite photos all in a small format to create a vertical filmstrip look.

 

I chose 3 patterned papers to use for the background of my layout. I turned the Direction patterned paper over to show the green side, the Happy Camper patterned paper was left with the flags showing and I also turned the Horizon patterned paper to reveal the yellow suns. Once the papers were arranged and adhered, I placed the photo strip over to the right side of the layout.

For my title, I decided to spell the word Tasmania using the ‘Fun Times Ahead’ chipboard title. As I was spelling the word Tasmania in my head, I thought all of the letters were there in the 1 packet of chipboard except Tasmania has 3 A’s so I did have to open a new packet of the chipboard elements and steal one of the A’s from that pack! I placed the title along the top line of the Horizons paper and I also added one of the puffy titles under the chipboard title too.

Just above the Tasmania title, I placed one of the round die-cuts and also placed one of the banner stickers from the Accessory stickers through the centre of the photo strip. On the right of the photos at the top, I added the Let’s Go flag die-cut and bent up the edges slightly to add some texture. To the direct right of the photos at the bottom, I added the tree chipboard and layered one of the phrase stickers from the Accessory sticker sheet over the top. I also added more of the phrase stickers above the Tasmania title.

Once the larger elements were added to my page, I added some of the smaller elements including one of the banner chipboard pieces below the Let’s Go title and I created a cluster of embellishments at the very top of the page using stickers from the Accessory sticker sheet and a puffy sticker too. I added a couple more puffy stickers and finished by freehand drawing a border around the outside using my journal pen, stamping the date stamp and sprinkling some black mist to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you are inspired by my layout and got some ideas for your next project!

Adventure | Great Escape collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends,

It’s Tarrah here with you today to share my first layout using the awesome Great Escape collection!

I decided to create a layout featuring a large A4 photo taken from the bridge over the amazing Cataract Gorge in Tasmania from our recent trip visiting Tassie. The Great Escape collection was the perfect collection to focus mainly on the photo for this layout and layering lots of the elements straight on top of my photo.

I started out with a plain sheet of white cardstock and placed my large photo in the very centre of the cardstock. I left the edges free of adhesive so that I could place the papers down the sides. I then cut some paper strips from the ‘B’ side of the ‘Happy Camper’ patterned paper and the ‘B’ side of the ‘Direction’ patterned paper, placing these vertically, the ‘Direction’ paper was placed at the outer edge and the ‘Happy Camper’ paper closer to the photo. I then fussy cut the scallops from the ‘Wild Life’ patterned paper and tucked this piece in on the left-hand side and bent the edges up to add some dimension.

My title is the ‘Adventure’ title from the chipboard pack, I placed it down the bottom of the page, in the centre of photo and also placed one of the circle die-cuts from the ephemera pack just above the chipboard title. I took 2 of the stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet and placed these below the chipboard title. I journaled the location and the date on the smaller sticker.

On the right-hand side I placed 2 more of the chipboard pieces to help balance the scallops from the left-hand hand side. I placed one of the phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet layered over the top of these pieces. I also placed one of the enamel dots from the enamel shapes pack here.

At the top of the photo, I placed the ‘Wild by Nature’ die-cut using foam tape to add dimension to the page. I also placed another of the enamel dots over the top of the arrows on this die-cut.  This collection is perfect for your travel and outdoor adventures such as camping, road trips, hiking, fishing, walking, running or even documenting the boys in your life! I hope you get a chance to purchase this awesome collection to create some projects of your own!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope you are inspired by my layout and enjoyed reading about how I created it. Make sure you visit the blog to see all the other gorgeous inspiration from the Cocoa Vanilla design team!

Great Outdoors | Great Escape Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello and welcome to my first layout created with the fabulous new collection Great Escape!

I love this photo of my eldest boy and his puppy (which of course when he moved out we ended having lol!!!) and knew it would fit perfectly with this collection.

I found this great cut file in the Silhouette design store and went from there. I used the Starry Night paper as the background piece to create the illusion of the sky and then Journey paper for the trees. I added the tree paper piece with foam tape to add dimension. Before adding this to my white cardstock which is cut at 10×10 inches I added a paint wash background.

And now for the fun part, embellishing! I added my photo which is a 6×4 inch landscape photo. I did my title at this point using the Foam Title Stickers. I then set about creating three embellishment clusters around my photo.

I added black stars from the Foam Title Stickers sheet, ephemera die cut pack and puffy sticker sheet. This adds varying textures to your layout and prevents it from look ‘flat’.

I layered die cuts both under and over the green tree cut file. Here you can see I added a phrase sentiment over the combi van and how I added the Out and About flag behind the tree cut file.

Don’t be afraid to add elements on your photo, it is a great way to tie everything together and as you can see here it does not distract from my actual photo.

Lastly I covered my photo with a scrap piece of paper to protect it and splattered the blue paint wash over my layout. I used another phrase sentiment as my sub journalling from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

I love how this turned out. The colours of this collection are perfect for any outdoor themed layout you want to create!

Thank you for stopping by and happy creating with Great Escape, you are going to love it!
