Heart and Home puffy stickers

Gather | Heart and Home | Rachel Lowe

Here is second layout using the beautiful Heart and Home collection. The theme of the collection inspired me to create a family layout, hubby must have been working as its me with my children!

I found this gorgeous flower cut file from the Silhouette design store. For large petals I used Golden Fields and Harvest 12×12 papers, for the smaller petals and smaller flower I used papers from the A5 paper pad.

Once I positioned my flowers on the white base paper I set about adding my photos. I chose a 4×4 and 3×3 inch photos. I used Golden Fields Paper typed words side to mat my photos. I added black stitching to the larger one to add definition and draw your eye.

I added it with foam tape as I wanted to add my title slightly under my photo. I chose the word GATHER from the titles with gold foil pack. I added my sub title under my photo using stickers from the accessory sticker sheet, to finish off I added a tiny floral bunch, which was actually the vase with flowers die cut ephemera which I discarded the vase.

Again with my second smaller photo I added with foam tape and then added more sub titling using stickers from the accessory sticker sheet. I tucked one of the cute houses from the die cut ephemera pack and finished off adding another small flower bunch coming out of the roof and a heart puffy sticker to the door.

Despite this layout looking ‘busy’, you can easily fit two or three photos or one larger photo.

As always thank you for stopping by!

Together | Heart and Home collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends,

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am excited to be sharing a layout with you featuring the new GORGEOUS Heart and Home collection! I love the handmade feel to this collection.

I started by choosing a cut file from CUT to YOU, I cut it out from the ‘B’ side of the gorgeous Fall Beauty paper. I was certain to place the cut file in the centre of the paper so I could use the outline as the background for my layout. I adhered the cut file to a plain sheet of white cardstock and trimmed down the cardstock to measure approximately 11′ x 11′ and adhered it the remainder of the Fall Beauty paper. I then machine stitched a border around the outside to add to that handmade feel.

I am documenting a photo of myself with my friends from one of their 50th birthdays a few years ago. Such a fun night celebrating! I placed the photo on the right hand side of the page and layered a piece of vellum and a frame from the die-cut pack underneath. I adhered the photo using craft foam to add a little dimension to my page. On top of the photo, I added a phrase banner from the die-cut pack and also placed a rectangle sticker from the accessory sticker sheet to the left of the photo.

At the bottom of the photo, I placed the paper strip with the cross hearts on it from the ‘Gather’ paper. I also tucked in some florals from the floral die-cut pack and placed a banner die-cut and a round die-cut both from the ephemera pack. To the right side of my photo, I tucked in some more florals here and also placed a word sticker from the Accessory Sticker sheet. My title is the ‘Together’ word from the gold title die-cut pack. I just love the gold foil on these! So pretty!

To balance out the heavy right side of the page that features my photo and title, I created a small cluster of embellishments that features mostly florals and a Love die-cut. I used different levels of adhesive here to show different levels of dimension. I also placed some more word and phrase stickers here from the Accessory sticker sheet. Lastly I placed some enamel puffy shapes and I stamped the date stamp to document the date of when the photo was taken.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog! I hope you enjoyed reading about how I created my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Happy creating!

The Perfect Day | Heart and Home Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hi CVS friends, today I am sharing my first layout using the beautiful new collection Heart and Home. I am loving the autumn/fall vibes, so I found some photos of my youngest and I taken in fall with the colours matching perfectly!

Both my chosen cut files, leaves and The Perfect Day, are both from the Silhouette design store. I wanted to create a fall themed background and this leaves cut file is great as its not too ‘busy’ and to ensure some white space remained I only paper pieced some of them. I used the A5 paper pad blue hearts paper for my leaves. I used the Framed paper, wood grain side to cut my large title. I then paper pieced it using Golden Fields paper which has the smaller floral design. I did use foam tape on the large title to add dimension.

I next added two torn paper strips to the top and bottom of my page, using the yellow side of the Gather paper and Leaf Litter paper green side for the bottom strip. In doing this it ties all the elements together. I next added my photos, using a 3×4 inch photo to go under the phrase title and using one of the cute die cut ephemera frames above the phrase title which measures 2×3 inches. Both were added with foam tape.

I added die cut florals to the bottom photo on each side, tucking them under my photo. I added the wood grain phrase sentiment die cut and finished off by adding two heart puffy stickers and a heart tab from the Accessory Sticker sheet. As the top photo frame already had florals I simply added two heart puffy stickers.

I then set about adding finishing touches! I fussy cut some butterflies from the paper in the A5 paper pad and added around my page. I created two small embellishing clusters at the top and bottom torn paper strips. As this page had a lot going on I was careful not to over do the embellishments, sometimes less is more!!!!!

It was great to NOT have to convert my photos to black and white so they match a collection, warm toned photos match perfectly.

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing what you all create with Heart and Home!
