BAKING SPIRITS BRIGHT | JOYFUL COLLECTION | SOPHIE DELORME

Hello Cocoa Vanilla friends!

It’s Sophie with you today ! It’s almost Christmas !! Who’s ready ??! Who’s been baking like crazy ??!

I have and like every year around Christmas, we prepare tons of different deserts and cookies and pastries ! I had to highlight that on a layout !

 

I used the beautiful Joyful collection for this page.

I started by creating a soft mixed media background on thick white cardstock on the upper side of the page, where I planned to put my big title.

I bought this title cut file from the Silhouette Store. It’s designed by SAS Creative. I cut the three words on different patterned papers from the A5 Paper Stack. I also did an offset cut on white cardstock to back each letter, and mounted them on adhesive foam before adhering them to the layout.

 

I teared a big chunk of the “Very Merry” patterned paper that I placed at the bottom of the page to ground my photo.

I embellished around it with beautiful elements from the Joyful Die Cut Ephemera Pack and fussy cut flowers and wreaths from the “’Tis The Season” and “Very Merry” patterned papers.

 

I fussy cut numerous stars out of the “Making Spirits Bright” paper that I placed around the title, and added a few Wood Buttons as the finishing touch.

 

Here are more close-ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope this inspires you ! I wish you a wonderful Holiday Season, with lots of good times with your loved ones !

Christmas | Josefine vd Hoeven | Joyful collection

Hello paperlovers,
Welcome to the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today! It’s Josefine here sharing a new scrapbook layout. The festive December month has begun and I couldn’t wait to create a Christmas layout by using this amazing Christmas collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. There are so many beautiful embellishments in this collection that I actually want to use everything on my page.

I love the magical atmosphere during the month of December! Everything feels so much nicer and always look forward to spending the Christmas days with my loved ones. I made a mixed media background with the Distress Oxide color “flamingo kitch” by using a background stamp. I make various prints on the white cardstock and when the mixed media background is large enough I made some splashes with the pink Distress Oxide color.

I stitched a pattern on my layout and used two colors of embroidery thread and some glass beads. I love how festive it looks. I cut out a picture of my daughter into a circle and also cut two circles from the beautiful design papers of this wonderful collection. I stitch the edges of the circles with gold sewing thread. I place the circles in the center of my layout and now it’s time to decorate.

I fussy cut the super cute stars from the design paper and fold them in 3D. I placed the stars in different places on the layout. I also fussy cut some flowers and twigs from the design paper and made a cluster on both sides of the photo with the flowers, twigs and die-cuts. The beautiful gold title “Christmas” I place on top.

I decorate my page with the beautiful and cute little puffy stickers, golden stars and 3D stars. I placed these randomly on my page. It’s an explosion of awesome embellishments around the festive Christmas photo. I splash with white acrylic paint for a snow effect.

 

I had so much fun making this festive Christmas layout! All those beautiful colors, cute die-cuts, gold stars and cardstock stickers. I can’t get enough of it. I hope I was able to inspire you and wish everyone a very happy December month. Let’s celebrate this month together! Until next time!
XoXo, Jo

Christmas Advent | Joyful Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hey Everyone! It’s Michelle here today and a Happy Festive season to you all. I hope you’re having an enjoyable month and aren’t as stressed out an unprepared as I am. Our Elf only made her appearance for these photos, and has since disappeared again lol. As you can see I’ve created something a little different, a fun little Christmas Advent ‘Calendar’ (aka completely forgot to buy one from the shops) using the sweet Joyful Collection. We’ve set it up in Leila’s smaller Christmas as the pastel colours suited a white tree background.

As soon as I saw the Advent Paper in this collection I just knew I needed to create something using it, and what a perfect way to do so by creating a hanging “Advent calendar”. Each pocket was made using all the different pattern papers from the A5 paper stack and decorated using ephemera pieces, accessory stickers and fussy cut florals from the ‘Tis the Season‘ Paper in both 12×12 & A5 sizes. Oh and of course, numbered using the ‘Advent’ paper which only comes in the 12×12 size.

Here’ how the pockets look hanging from the tree…

You’ll see in these close ups I’ve cut the tops of each pocket in different ways, attached the string randomly and also added some white cardstock stars and the cute gold puffy stars. The paper chain was made a couple years back using the bohemian Dream collection

As the tree has so much decoration we left all other decorations off and only added the Santa llama and angel on top.

All the empty pockets are left either at the bottom of the tree, or in a little basket I’ve sat next to the elf house to the left of the tree.

Heres a closer look at all of the different pockets, they’re all so cute I cant pick which ones are my favourite.

I kept all pockets roughly 4 inch tall and 2.5 wide to ensure we could fit full size Freddo Frogs, Caramello Koalas and theres even a mini Chomp bar here and there. Love us come Cadbury Favourites here YUM!

Each pocket is folded over at the back and adhered along the bottom edge using a stapler as the tape adhesive wouldn’t stay shut once the chocolates were inside. You could also sew along the bottom edge for a little extra detail on the pocket.

Embellishments are layered using different forms of adhesive, from regular double sided roller tape to foam for a little extra dimension. Although once the chocolate is inside the entire pocket pops with dimension/.

The cute hand-drawn animals in this collection are just so sweet, and easy to use on these little pockets of chocolatey goodness.

And thats the lot. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing something a little different from me this time around? Let me know in the comments below if you enjoy seeing different crafty ideas other than layouts, or are you purely a layout crafter like I usually am?

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll be back in a couple weeks to share my last creation for 2021, although I’m still unsure what it might be.

Until then, have a safe and HAPPY Festive season, which ever way you celebrate. Stay safe, enjoy and Happy Scrapping!

Fa La La | Joyful Collection | Kylie Kingham

December is here and the festive season is in full swing! It’s Kylie with you today and I have another layout to share featuring the new ‘Joyful’ collection, to hopefully give a little holiday scrapbooking inspiration. I absolutely love every single paper design so I wanted to challenge myself to try and use nearly every single one in a layout. Thanks to the Tree Border cut file designed by Paige Evans, I think I was able to come pretty close!

Once I had cut out the 3 tree borders with my Cameo, I was able to back them with papers from the A5 paper pack. I like using this paper pack for cut files as it saves my 12 x 12 papers. I used brown cardstock from my craft stash for the tree trunks and adhered them to my background paper with foam adhesive squares.

With so much colour happening in my background I didn’t feel the need to ‘over-embellish’ my layout. My photo was trimmed to measure 5″x 3.75″ and adhered to a photo mat measuring 5.25″ x 4″.Once it was adhered into place I added a few cute die cuts and a title from the die cut pack.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest page design.

Take care,

Kylie

Magical Moments | Joyful collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

Can you believe we are in December already?! Where has the time gone?! I know we say this every year but I am sure it gets faster each year!

Anyway it’s Tarrah here with you today and because it’s now December, I want to share all the Christmas things! I have created a new layout with a photo of my darling niece featuring the STUNNING NEW Joyful collection.

I created a pretty floral layout and began by fussy cutting out lots of those gorgeous florals from the Tis The Season paper. I did choose a plain white cardstock background however I did smoosh some distress oxide inks first. I mixed both Speckled Egg and a touch of Mermaid Lagoon to match the pretty teal colour in the Joyful collection. Lots of the mixed media did get covered up however you can see little hints of it if you look closely.

Once the ink was dry, I cut out the pink scalloped border strip from the Very Merry paper and adhered it horizontally to act as a ‘shelf’ on my page. I adhered my photo with a 3′ x 4′ card from the Pocket Card set and the oval scalloped frame die-cut from the ephemera pack down first and then began to arrange the florals either side of my photo. I knew I wanted them to frame my photo without overdoing it. I adhered the florals with different heights and types of adhesive to create shadows and dimension.

I also added some greenery from the ephemera die-cuts in the mix however most of it was fussy cut by hand. I added a wood epoxy button to the centres of 2 of the flowers. My title is made up of some words from the gorgeous gold puffy title stickers and I also added some of the small gold stars from the same pack. I also added a chipboard sticker just under my title and some of the tiny holly pieces from the Puffy Stickers either end of the chipboard piece. I trimmed down the white cardstock background and added 2 small clusters of flowers to the top and bottom, I then adhered the layout to the Making Spirits Bright paper and machine stitched a border around the very edge. To finish my page, I stamped the date stamp and sprinkled a fair bit of gold Heidi Colour Shine around my layout (yes I have been hoarding it)!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it?! I hope you feel inspired to check out the stunning new Joyful collection that is now in the Cocoa Vanilla online store.

Happy Christmas creating!

Merry & Bright Layout | Joyful Collection | Rachel Lowe

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!

Joyful Day | Joyful Collection | Danni Visser

Hi Cocoa Vanilla Studio fans! Danni here with my first layout using the gorgeous new Joyful collection. I have a sweet collage photo of my daughter playing in the rain to document today. It is not necessarily a Christmas themed photo, but it was early in December and she has a bright red dress on so I thought it was a perfect lead in to my Christmas layouts for that year’s album.

I started by taking the Very Merry 12×12 patterned paper as my background paper because the subtle spotted pattern reminded me of falling snow or rain, which was perfect for my rainy day theme. To highlight my photo I matted it using the mustard script paper from the A5 paper stack and lightly distressing the edges for texture. I added further softness and texture by including a couple of layers of pink tissue paper as a second photo border.

For my title I couldn’t go past the incredible puffy gold title stickers – they are the perfect shade of bright Christmassy gold and the metallic shine on them is just amazing. I spelt out ‘Joyful Day’, which describes this moment perfectly, and layered it across the bottom of my photo.

Next I took a pile of stars that I fussy cut from the Making Spirits Bright 12×12 patterned paper, as well as stars from the corresponding paper in the A5 paper stack to create a variety of sizes. I created layered stars with some of these by adding a larger star underneath with patterned paper and adding dimensional foam in between the layers. Other stars I added foam behind or just left as is for a variety of heights and added dimension.

I wanted to create the feel of hanging Christmas ornaments so I glued a variety of different threads and twine in between my star layers and positioned my stars at various heights across the page, with the twine hanging from the top of the layout. I love this effect!

To fill in any gaps left between the larger stars, I added some of the smaller fussy-cut stars and three of the puffy gold glitter stars in the empty spaces. Those gold puffy glitter stars are just so incredibly gorgeous, I had to use them immediately!

To finish off the layout I added a sprinkling of the stars from the puffy gold title stickers in amongst the star clusters, then layered the ‘Fa la la la la’ chipboard banner piece from the chipboard stickers across the top of my photo. I hope you like this layout! There is a process video on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio YouTube channel linked below if you would like to watch the full process. Happy scrapping!

Our Memories | Joyful Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura back again with a super sweet baby layout featuring the new holiday themed Joyful collection. I love to challenge myself to scrap outside the theme as much as possible to stretch my creativity and get the most of my favourite collections. One of the inspirations for this layout was the adorable animal icons on the Magical Moments patterned paper. I just had to fussy cut them out and create a mobile with them above these sweet photos of my daughter cuddled up with me. To create the hanging lines, I simply free-handed some loops and then hand-stitched them with floss.

I added several fabric stars and wood buttons amid the hanging animals to fill in the gaps and give the impression of a sky. Both the mobile and the night sky are imagery that fits these sleeping baby photos perfectly and really help to set the mood for the overall page. On the top left of the photo, I pulled in a few stickers from 6×12 sticker sheet as well as a scattering of these puffy stars from the puffy titles. Love the pop of gold in this collection, it’s just the perfect addition to the soft color tones.

Along the right and left side of my photos, I added a cluster of florals that I fussy cut from the A5 paper stack, including these teeny tiny ones that I use to add details around the outside edge. To add a bit of definition to this page, I outlined the main photo mat with a pen. The finishing touches to this lovely layout was a puffy gold title, journaling, and splatters. Overall, I think I captured the soft, sleepy mood perfectly with the Joyful collection and I can’t wait to see what other photos I can scrap with it!

I hope this layout inspires you to scrap outside the theme too! If you’d like to see how Our Memories came together, check out the process video below.

Christmas Magic | Joyful Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hey Hey! It’s Michelle back here today with a new layout share featuring the wonderful NEW Joyful Collection. SO many pretty patterns and colours with a couple of super cute creatures thrown into the mix. I’ve documented one of our fun family traditions from last Christmas, our crazy Elf on the Shelf shenanigans.

To start off the layout I grabbed out the A5 paper stack and cut out pieces from multiple patterns that are just over 3 inches square in size. I’ve distressed the edges, folded and ripped some pieces and also layered some with velum and other pops of pattern paper. All squares are adhered within a grid format using foam for slight dimension.

Next up I’ve worked on the photo stack, title and floral cluster group. I printed the photos out roughly 3.5×2.7 inch size and adhered them to the bottom left area of the layout using more foam. I also added in an extra pattern paper above the photos to balance out the colours on the layout.

We’ve loved playing around with the Elf each year, and sadly I think last year was the last season for creating this kind of ‘magic’. It was certainly fun to see what the Elf and her friends got up to each night, and am very interested to see what happens this year.

To the right of the photo I created a floral cluster using fussy cut pieces from the Tis the Season paper with the addition of stars from the ephemera and puffy title sticker packs.

The title was a super easy creation using a chipboard word sticker and a puffy title sticker

Up in the top right of the layout grouped together more fussy cut florals from the Tis the Season paper along with a super cute reindeer from the ephemera pack. I’ve been itching to find ways to incorporate the animals without just throwing them on for no reason, cause they’re all so darn cute!

Over on the left I created another small cluster of florals tucked behind the tag and banner from the ephemera pack. These florals are so pretty in real life, so its hard to cut into the paper.

Lastly some handwritten journalling to tell the story of our Elf Twinkle and her mates that helped to spread some Christmas Cheer. I used a ripped piece of notepaper from a pad that I keep handy on my desk and embellished it with some stars and accessory word sticker. To add one final touch to the layout I’ve added my usual sprinkling of gold ink, that splattered in places I didn’t really want it to, but thats the risk we take when creating something fun.

Well friends thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by! I cant wait to see what you’re all creating with the Joyful Collection so be sure to share with us in our CVS facebook group and on Social Media using the hashtags #cocoavanillastudio and #cvsjoyful .

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Magical Moments | Joyful Collection | Kylie Kingham.

Hi friends! It’s   back today with another layout to share featuring the new ‘JOYFUL’ collection. I’m really loving the colour palette of this range which features traditional Christmas tones yet muted for a modern appeal. I centred this page around a lovely cut file of Christmas Lights which has been designed by Paige Evans.

Once my cut file had been cut out, I used the A5 paper stack to back each individual bulb. This didn’t take too long and I loved the colourful effect once it was completed. The ‘DECK THE HALLS’ paper was used as my background and I adhered the light bulbs with foam adhesive squares so that it sat up a little adding dimension.

A 6″x 4″ sized photo was used on my layout and I neatly tucked it under some of the light bulbs. It was a great nesting point where I could then anchor some cute embellishments and chipboard stickers. The ‘Magical Moments’ title was created from the gold alpha stickers and positioned above my photo which seemed to be the best place for balance.

To finish my layout I added some of both the chipboard and cardstock sticker phrases below my photo. I also added some of the gold chipboard stars throughout my page.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope it gives you a little inspiration for your own Christmas scrapbooking.

Until next time,

Kylie.
