Happy Days puffy stickers

Hello My Sunshine | Happy Days | Rachel Lowe

Today is throwback Thursday! I have used the bright and beautiful Happy Days collection.

I wanted to scrap this photo of my youngest boy and I and therefore aimed for a colour palette more boy than girl!

I used Definitive paper as my background page and then cut the Rainbow Bright paper  rainbow taking out the pinks. I added machine stitching to add texture to it.

I used two frames from the die cut ephemera pack for my photo, one which I cropped to a close up. I added these with foam tape so I could add elements under the frames. I added flowers from the floral ephemera pack focusing again on blues and yellows to match my rainbow. I then added glossy accents to the centres of the flowers.

I added journalling using the phrase sentiments from the accessory sticker sheet under my photo.

I next created a sky by cutting some clouds and layering them using the paper from the A5 paper stack. I added hearts from the puffy sticker sheet.

I used the curve of the rainbow and added my title using the chipboard title stickers

I added a butterfly and some heart puffy stickers to add more contrast and dimension.

The colours of this layout against a black and white background are so striking, this layout is giving me all the happy vibes!

Thank you for stopping by today! Throwback Thursday is always a good excuse to get out those older collections and create something beautiful.

Gift Bag and Gift Card Holder | Happy Days | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends, Rachel here! So before we start on Christmas creating I have. my mothers birthday in December so I created this gift bag and gift card holder using the beautiful Happy Days collection.

These cut files can be found in the Silhouette Design store. They are easy to put together and are perfect for female gift wrapping.

Starting with the gift bag after cutting the hearts I added machine stitching to add definition and texture. I added each heart layer with foam tape to add more dimension which would also allow me to add embellishments in each layer.

I have used Rainbow Bright, Definitive and Flutterby papers for the bag.

You can see that I added lots of die cuts from the die cut ephemera and floral ephemera pack. I used a wet glue so there was no risk of them falling off. I added HAPPY with foam tape to add more dimension. I added centres to the flowers using the puffy stickers and added some hearts also.

I used the chipboard titles to add ‘Happy Days’ on the handle of the bag and again I used wet glue to ensure they were secure. How cute does it look!

This purse gift card holder goes perfectly with the gift bag and is so easy to put together.

I used Lush Blooms paper and the trim Flutterby paper. I then simply added some florals, enamel dots, a butterfly die cut and chipboard words.

On the inside I used the accessory sticker sheet to add a writing space and word sentiment.

Happy Days collection is perfect to make off the page projects! I love how these turned out.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon.

Cutie Pie | Happy Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

It’s been a while since I have created with Happy Days collection and as I revisited the collection I knew I had to create a layout inspired by the strawberry paper Lush Blooms ,strawberry side!

This fabulous Cutie Pie cut file is from the Silhouette Design store. I didn’t want a stark white background so used the mixed media effect paper Juicy Fruit. To add another layer I cut some hearts and added randomly my page using Definitive paper, I think the dark blue makes a wonderful contrast against the more subtle colours of the layout.

I added my title letters with foam tape so I would be able to tuck elements under and over, it also creates dimension which when using a larger word title is important so your layout does not appear ‘flat’. I added a floral cluster which I tucked under the ‘C’ letter using the floral die cut ephemera. I added die cut ephemera strawberries over the letters.

To the opposite side I created another floral cluster, I added centres to the flowers using the round pieces of the puffy stickers. I added a die cut cloud to the top of my page, adding with foam tape so I could tuck a turquoise puffy heart behind it.

I chose a 3.5×3.5 inch photo which I matted on a paper from the A5 paper pad. I added this with foam tape, and finished of with a tab from the accessory sticker sheet which I added two puffy stickers and a phrase sentiment banner from the die cut pack.

I just love the dark pink/red strawberries and butterfly added on top of the title cut file, it just makes it ‘pop’. I added some finishing touches such as more puffy hearts, a word sentiment and layering the ‘I’ with paper cut hearts.

This layout definitely has a summer feel and this colour combo is a big yes for me. Also perfect colours to make a black and white photo stand out!

As always, thank you for stopping by and see you again in December, just over a month to Christmas!!!!

Summer Fun | Happy Days collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! Today I have a fun summer themed layout to share. I chose a 8.5 x 11 inch layout as this is the size I always use for my travel layouts. I have of course used the gorgeous Happy Days collection.

I found this summer fun cut file in the Silhouette Design store and cut it to fit my 8.5 x 11 inch layout. I used a turquoise card stock. I used the Feel Good paper, yellow cheque side cutting at 8.5 inches and tearing at 1.5 inches. Before adhering to the top of my page a added a tiny strip of Lush Blooms paper to add a contrast. I next added two die cut ephemera butterflies with foam tape to add dimension and finished off adding a die cut sun which I added two blush pink puffy stickers for the cheeks.

 

I adhered the cut file with a small amount of wet glue. I used the A5 paper stack to create my layered photo frame. My photo is 3.5×3.5 inches.  I set about making this my focal point. To the right I created a floral cluster using the floral ephemera. At the top of my photo I created another embellishment cluster adding die cut strawberries, tab and word sentiment.

To the left of my photo I added a die cut camera with foam tape tucking it slightly under my photo. Tucking elements under and over photos prevents your layout from appearing ‘flat’. I added journalling using the accessory sticker sheet, phrase sentiments on my photo and under it.

 

 

I used some yellow paint and made random splatters over my page (protecting my photo of course!) I added a journalling block to the bottom right of my page and will add details of photo later.

This design could be used for so many different themed layouts! I hope my layout has inspired you in some way and if you have only ever tried a 12×12 inch layout I encourage you to try a different size.

Thank you for stopping by today.
