The Best | No Limits collection | Tarrah McLean

Tarrah McLean 23/01/2024

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing one of my favourite to create – a boy layout! Because I have 2 sons, there is never a shortage of boy photos around here! I decided to pull out the awesome and very cool No Limits collection, one of my favourite boy lines by Cocoa Vanilla Studio! This photo is an older one of my youngest son who is now 13 – he is about 5 or 6 in this photo! I loved the way the shirt he is wearing matched some of the colours from the No Limits collection – that is where I got the inspiration from for my layout today.

I started off with a plain sheet of white cardstock – as I mostly do- then trimmed it down to measure approximately 11′ x 11′, backing this onto the ‘B’ side of the Big Bang patterned paper (the woodgrain side). I then pulled out a few of the various papers from the A5 paper stack and sorted through them to find some that co-ordinated with my son’s shirt. I decided to cut some into triangle shapes and then layered them top and bottom of the page. For some extra texture, I bent the edges of these papers and also applied a little mixed media to create a sort of shadow effect.

I placed craft foam underneath my photo and placed it in the centre of my layout, adding some layers underneath like a pocket card, a die-cut frame and a sticker and tag both from the Accessory sticker sheet. I love to layer embellishments on top of my photos and under my photos too, how about you? In the top right corner, I stapled a banner sticker here and tied a bow through the tag using some white wax cotton. In the bottom right corner, I placed the large star die-cut and added some chipboard ones on top.

In the bottom cluster of papers, I added another chipboard piece and also one of the super cute wooden epoxy buttons all from the No Limits collection. I love how these small details add some interest to an area to help draw your eye in. My title is ‘The Best’ letters from the chipboard sheet, I also added a phrase under the title, cut from the ‘Universal’ patterned paper. Another of the wooden epoxy buttons was also placed here and I love the teal/aqua coloured chipboard arrow pointing to the photo too.

Once I had most of the design in place and the larger elements on the page, I started to add smaller details for the finishing touches. I added some phrase stickers around the page and stamped the date stamp and added some sprinkles of mist in various colours also. Lastly I machine stitched a border around the entire edge using white thread.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today! I hope you have been inspired by my layout in some way! Make sure you share your creations with us if you get some time to pull out your Cocoa Vanilla collections and create some cool projects!

Happy creating!

Fun Fun Fun | No Limits collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new layout created using the awesome No Limits collection!

I haven’t created a boy layout for a while and I have lots of the awesome No Limits collection! I grabbed a sweet black and white photo of my youngest son and got to work creating!

I chose the awesome Spark paper for my main background, trimmed this piece down to measure 11′ x 11′ inches and then adhered it to the ‘B’ side of the Latitude paper

I then bent the edges up to create some texture and shadows on my page. I decided on a round design for this layout and took a dinner plate and pencil and lightly traced a circle with the dinner plate. I knew I wanted to add lots of the ephemera around the outside edge. This is a great way to use up lots of leftovers or little bits and pieces you may have laying around and don’t really know what to do with!

Before adding all of the ephemera and embellishments around the circle I wanted to get my photo in its place, as it is a large element and the main focal point of my page, this is important to me to get this part right. I layered one of the 3′ x 4′ pocket cards under the photo and adhered it to the right hand side of the page using craft foam. I did also cut in half one of the round frame die-cuts and tucked a piece in the top and bottom of my photo. For my title, I adhered another of the cool pocket cards with the words Fun Fun Fun! I also layered one of the phrase stickers from the accessory sticker sheet on top.

My favourite part when I create a layout is the embellishing! What’s yours?

Once my photo and title were added it was time to add all the embellishments around the drawn circle. I used a mixture of ephemera, chipboard, wood epoxy buttons, puffy stickers and accessory stickers. I adhered them all down around the circle using different types of adhesives. The chipboard I used a wet glue (even though these have their own adhesive, I like to add more as extra), the ephemera I used double sided tape and foam tape to give different dimension heights. I was careful to place similar colour elements away from each other, this helps creating a visual triangle on my page.

It was so fun to arrange all the elements around the circle, I placed larger embellishments first and then added smaller ones in between. To the right of my photo I stamped the date stamp using black ink and my date stamp. Lastly I sprinkled some black mist to finish my layout.

Thank you for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today!

Do you love creating boy layouts? If that is a yes then the No Limits collection is an amazing collection to create some awesome boy pages!

I love how my layout turned out and hope you enjoyed reading about how I created it!

Happy creating!

This Kid | No Limits Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, its Melissa here and I’m so thrilled to be back with you sharing another layout that I created with the amazing No Limits collection. I don’t know about you, but I am loving creating layouts for my girls with No Limits! Our youngest daughter Ava was born with a kidney condition that was discovered when she was only 4 months old. She’s doing really well with it now that she is older, but she is monitored with scans. This layout is about the first scan she had since we moved towns.

For this layout I wanted to use a floral cut file with the gorgeous Eclipse paper. The cut file is by Paige Evans, and was perfect to feature papers from the A5 Paper Stack. I didn’t intend to create a monochromatic flower, but the papers worked together so well, and I love how it looks contrasted with the dark tones of the Eclipse paper.

I embellished with Chipboard Stickers, an Accessory Sticker, and Wood Epoxy Buttons. I also splattered with white mist.

For my title I used two of the Die Cut Titles that were perfect for my story about Ava!! She had asked the Radiographer for a lolly and was given a lollipop and a small tube of lollies.

I created a process video which you can watch below:

Thanks so much for joining me today.

The Best Kid | Album | No Limits | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 21/04/2022

Hello CVS crafty friends! I have another album to share using the fab new No Limits. This album is larger than the one I created earlier in the month and this album can fit up tp 12 photos of varying sizes. I

I have used the following papers: Stardust, Latitude, Nebula, Orbit and Spark. This banner album is from the Silhouette design store. I added black machine stitching to add definition and texture.

I chose my title from the Die Cut Titles and added with foam tape on every second page. I have used the smaller banners so dates can be added. I found two blue O rings from my stash which go wonderfully with the colours of this collection.

I added frames from the No Limits chipboard for two smaller photos. I made use of the pocket cards as photo mats. I added more black machine stitching through the album. By adding another die cut title word here I have created another title.

I have used the pocket cards to add spaces to document and the accessory stickers to journal.

Here I created some flap pages to be able to add even more pages. These are simple to make, simply score a 1/4 inch at the top and use wet glue to attach on top of each other.

Of course the fun part is adding the embellishments! I used many of the wood epoxy stickers to add dimension. I used lots of phrase sentiments from the chipboard, die cuts and accessory stickers. Once I had added the embellishments I went back and added puffy stickers on most pages.

This album is ready to be filled with awesome boy photos! If you would like an opportunity to win this album please check out my post on the CVS community FB page!

Boys Will Be Boys | Mini Album | No Limits | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 07/04/2022

Hello CVS friends, as promised I have created a mini album focusing on the Pocket Cards from the No Limits collection. Apart from using one 12×12 paper, Big Bang for the cover I used papers from the A5 paper pad.

This mini album is super easy to make and no cutting machine required! Here are the cutting instructions:

Cut a 11 x 5 inch strip.
Score 5 inches in from the left and then right. This will leave you a 1 inch spine.
Cut another paper strip 3 x 5 inches.
Score at 1 inch from the left and then right. This will leave you a 1 inch spine again. This binding piece will fit perfectly onto your album cover.
Machine stitch binding paper strip and wet glue to your cover.
Use a corner punch on front and back cover

You will see inside I have created a pocket which again is simple to do.

1.Cut a 4 x 3 inch strip.

2 Score a 1/4 inch at each side and fold under.

3. Scallop punch top of pocket.

4. wet glue each fold and a thin amount to bottom to close up.

I have added some tags to my pocket. I decorated my pocket with embellishments from the chipboard and finished off with an epoxy wooden button.

On the other side I punched a hole and added an eyelet (ensuring it would be big enough for my O ring) and threaded through an O ring I found in my stash. This is where you will add your pocket cards and photos.

I added machine stitching to all my pocket cards to add texture and left some thread on for a rustic feel. I chose the larger stars from the die cut ephemera pack which hang from the O ring.

I have added traditional photos measuring 3×4 inches and added them between the pocket cards which allows you to journal. You can also add photos to the pocket cards also. I also cut the silhouette of my son and added to a pocket card which looks super adorable and mixes things up.

I used the accessory sticker sheet phrase sentiments and added directly onto my photo.

I used the puffy stickers to also add some sparkle to the cards! The trick is to add lots of different textures to your mini album so it is not flat but has lots of dimension.

My title Boys will be Boys is a cut file from the Silhouette design store. To add dimension some letters I have added with foam tape others flat. I added a mix of chipboard stars, die cut stars and puffy sticker stars.

The wonderful thing about this album is that it is not a huge consumer of paper, saving those 12×12 papers! I do not do PL and therefore this is a fab way to use pockets cards where you can photos, mementos and add lots of journalling.

I hope the extra photos help if you choose to make your own take.

Thank you for stopping by and happy scrapping always!
