puffy stickers

Family | Heart and Home | Kellie Moore

Hi Friends, welcome back to the Cocoa Vanilla blog, it’s Kel here today to share a layout using the new ‘Heart and Home’ collection. My page is documenting a family photo from Xmas 2022. Here is a look…

My photo is a landscape design so I started with adding some patterned paper strips behind my photo. I offset the papers and cut them at different sizes to add some interest and also distressed them to add some texture.

After placing my photo on the page, I decided I wanted to use the ‘Family’ letters found in the die cut ephemera pack as my title. I used foam dimension to make them pop and also outlined them with a black pen…this really helps them stand out! Under my title I used some of the word phrases from the die cut ephemera pack..

Next I placed some of the floral die cuts to the bottom left and top right of my photo. I added some hand stitching to them to add texture…

Above my photo I added a word sentiment from the die cut ephemera pack and cut some of the cute little houses from the ‘Gather’ paper..

I decided I wanted to add a bit more colour to my white cardstock so I added some hearts using distress oxides and a stencil, again outlining them with a black marker..

To finish my page I added some heart puffy stickers around my page and added some fine gold splatters.

I hope you enjoyed my page and you found some inspiration today…til next time!

Thankful | Heart & Home Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! I’m back again with the stunning Heart & Home collection to scrap these two photos of my brick. This is my mark on the university I attended and I am so grateful that I had this opportunity to return to school and finish my degree. To celebrate, I’m scrapping this moment with these rich colors from Heart & Home!

For this layout, I created a fairly simple vertical background and layered my two 3×4″ landscape photos on top of each other with clusters of florals from the icon ephemera packs tucked into the corners. With a lovely gold die cut title and these tiny fussy cut florals, I gave the page a beautifully detailed finish!

Adding in Nuvo drops was how I gave this simple vertical time to shine. Using white Nuvo on top of the woodgrain paper that edges the background gives it a purpose. The outlining of those strips makes them pop even more!


I hope this layout inspires you to find new ways to add details that give your layout a polished finish. To see how the ‘Thankful’ layout came together, check out the process video below:

 

Family time | Heart & Home Layout | Anna Komenda

Welcome everyone! It’s Anna here with another project made with brand new “Heart & Home” collection. With it’s wonderful, warm colors I am always tempted to create fall projects, one after another. However, this time I scrapbooked few spring photos from our trip to amusement park. It was still a little bit cold so our clothes doesn’t incline what season it was. Amusement parks is something we all love – both me and hubby and kids. We love all the rides, atmosphere of joy and crazyness. We always have such a good family time there, filled with lof of amazing memories. But let’s be honest – who doesn’t like fun packed day like this?

And where is fun – there is a mamarazzi! I took a lot of photos from our trip and printed few of them for this page. I only picked the ones with us in the picture. Each photo was then framed with a little frame cut out from “Framed” pattern paper. I also used another sheet for my background, using the B side with wooden pattern.

My ideas on how to arrange those frames changed few times while making this page. Final version required some sort of round frame around them. I was too lazy to pull our my digital die cutting machine so I used calipers to draw a circle. I also sketched some sort of wonky scallop around it, making my own round frame with yellow pattern paper called “Gather”.

My frame also became an anchor for the title. It’s a mix of word “family” taken from Die Cut Ephemera Pack and tiny letters from Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I also added a lot of flowers from Floral Ephemera Pack, but I took some time to cut out the white outlines around them. They contrasted too much with the dark wooden background and I didn’t want to draw attention away from the photos.

Inside of the round frame was already filled with photos, so it didn’t need much of embellishing. I only added few flowers and bits and pieces from Die Cut Ephemera, with matching inscriptions. I finished my design my adding few Puffy Stickes in a shape of hearts here and there and white slpatters. Easy – peasy!

That’s is all for today! I hope you find my layout inspiring! Thank you so much for spending your time with me and sticking to the end. See you soon in two weeks. I still do not know what I will create but I am sure I will use this amazing collection!

XO Anna

Family | Heart & Home Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all, Laura Alberts back again with a fun spin on a grid layout. For these four 3×4 inch photos from a camping trip, I puzzled the pictures together with ephemera and cut apart pieces to create a collage in the center of my page. The border around the outside gives the collage a little bit of structure and helps it feel cohesive.

In blank spots that were a little too narrow for additional embellishments, I added a row of chain-stitching with ombre embroidery floss that coordinated with the Heart & Home collection. These sweet puffy heart stickers were the perfect accent for this banner piece!

The floral ephemera pack is always one of my favorite parts of a new collection and these darling flowers had to make an appearance on my layout too! The hand-stitched elements work beautifully with the cross-stitch designs on the cut aparts that I used for titles.

I hope this layout inspires you to try a new design with multiple photos! If you’d like to see how “Family” came together, check out the process video below.

Walking into fall | Heart & Home Layout| Anna Komenda

Hello everyone. It’s Anna here with my newest layout, made with brand new “Heart & Home” collection. I am a big fan of fall projects and this line is just perfect for making one (or two :) ). Autumn is just starting to appear this year and leaves are still green but I had a perfect picture from my last year walk in the forest. Sun was low and it was shining through the leaves and tree trunks creating beautiful halo and rays. It looked so magical, like straight from the fairy tale. I snapped few photos enjoying this little wonder of nature.

I knew I wanted to use many pattern papers in this project making die cut leaves. I chose nine different patterns in brown, red-ish, orange, yello and green colors. Some of them are 12*12 papers like “Bountiful”, “Leaf litter”, “Fall beauty” and “Gather” and some are from A5 Paper Stack.

After cutting leaves  I added some Distress Oxide inks on the white backgroud creating strips of color, that blend together. It’s a sort of fall halfrainbow. With the background done, I could add leaves using color on color technique. I only applied glue in the middle, and run through the rows with sewing machine and white thread. This way I was sure my leaves will stay in place.

My title is a mix of Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and letters from word “family”, you can find in Ephemera Pack. I used original F, A and L letters and created second L using first one as a stencil.

At this point my layout was already colorful and full of texture so I only added few embellishments. I searched through Ephemera Pack to fing all the fall related elements and placed them color on color, highlighting the stripes. I found mugs, some leaves and few inscriptions. I also reached for 6*12 Accesory Stickers to embellish area around the photo.

Final step was adding tiny, cute Puffy Stickers, also using color on color technique. Creating this page was so much fun and a perfect combination of mixed media products and paper embellishments. My favourite kind of layout.

That is all for today! Thank you so much for spending your precious time with me. See you in October!

XO Anna

Celebrate You | Heart & Home Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Scrappy Friends! It’s Michelle back here with some more inspiration to share with you all. I’ve made another layout using the beautiful Heart & Home collection, with yet another bunch of fussy cut florals, perfect for documenting some happy snaps from my Mums recent 70th birthday Celebration.

I had a few photos I wanted to add to this layout so I created a couple of strips in the pic collage app on my phone using the freestyle layout option. I printed them out on a 4×6 size piece of photo paper then trimmed to size. I added both strips to a piece of green print paper from the A5 paper stack and sat them to the side so I could create the floral clusters.

First cluster is up the top right of the layout using pretty florals from both the 12×12 BOUNTIFUL paper, ephemera pieces and the specialty printed vellum. I layered all pieces individually with foam tape for dimension, and glued the tiny flowers on using tacky glue.

I added some accessory stickers to the mix along with mini puffy alphas for a mini title. They really are a cute addition to any layout.

I’ve used more florals from the BOUNTIFUL paper in the larger cluster on the bottom left of the layout with the same mix of ephemera, stickers and vellum to complete the layers. Once I felt this cluster had enough bits n bobs I added the photo strips over the right side using additional foam pieces to prop them up

I created the larger title using GOLD FOIL title words and some handwritten journalling underneath. I haven’t added this simple touch to many of my layouts recently, but when I have its really felt complete.

Lastly I added a sprinkling of gold ink around the layout with a few puffy dots and hearts then called it a day. Here’s a final look at the entire layout below..

 

Well thats all from me today, a short but sweet layout share for you all. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing another floral frenzy creation of mine.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Beautiful Family | Heart & Home collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new scrapbook layout featuring the gorgeous Heart & Home collection! I don’t know about you but I have loads of special family photos that I have to document. The Heart & Home collection is so perfect to use to document family photos. I have added 3 photos to this layout and although they are small, they get the memories documented. These photos are of my 2 sons with their 2 younger girl cousins who they ADORE.

I absolutely love the ‘B’ side of the Golden Fields paper with the typewriter looking phrases and I knew I wanted to use that piece as the background for my layout. I trimmed this piece down to approximately 11′ x 11′ and then adhered it to the ‘B’ side of the Leaf Litter paper. I then cut out the blue 3′ x 4′ card in the top right corner of the Gather paper. I got out my craft knife and cut out the centre of the frame so I could place a photo behind it. I also took the die-cut frame with the 2 spaces from the ephemera pack and placed small photos behind them.

I took several more pieces out of the ephemera pack that I thought would suit my photos including the tag, the ‘Our Story’ journal card, the floral wreath and the Family title. I started to arrange these on the page, deciding on a rounded horizontal look. For elements that I wanted to stand out and make a statement on the page I adhered using craft foam to add shadows and dimension. I will admit I had some ‘help’ in deciding what to add in the centre – I walked away from my page for a little while, when I came back, my man had been adding bits and pieces to it for me! What a gem! He added the small family die-cut and the wreath in the centre for me. I loved it that much so I just went with it! How do you think he did? Once I had the horizontal design arranged and glued down how I liked it, I started to add other smaller embellishments.

For my title I took one of the gorgeous Gold Foiled die-cut titles for the title pack and adhered this at the top using craft foam. I then took the individual letters that spell ‘Family’ from the ephemera pack and adhered these at the bottom of the design also using craft foam. I also layered a phrase sticker from the Accessory Sticker Sheet over the top of these letters. Under the letters I added an arrow die-cut as well. With the tag, I added some twine and tied it in a bow through the hole in the top, I love adding some sort of texture to my layouts, usually it is ribbon or twine or something like that. I absolutely HAD to add some gorgeous florals from the floral ephemera pack, I mostly tucked these into the top corners at each end of the tag and journal card.

Some of the final touches to my layout are the puffy heart stickers (love these!) some more phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker Sheet and a few smaller die-cuts from the ephemera pack. I cut out a small piece from the Gather paper and adhered this piece above the Beautiful title. I love tucking things in here and there – as you can probably see! Lastly I stamped the date stamp of when the photos were taken as I always do.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! I hope I have inspired you to get creating with your Heart & Home collection! If you haven’t already got this gorgeous collection, you REALLY NEED IT! It’s sooo pretty!

Happy creating!

Good Life | Heart & Home Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts back again with a sweet shelf design to scrap these photos of a curious little squirrel that I saw fairly often while wandering the campus in college last year. It was a mascot of sorts for one of the English buildings and I looked for him every time I walked past. For this layout, I used the stunning new Heart & Home collection and went wild with fussy cutting!

Using the diagonal stripe from the cut apart sheet as a base and adding a branding strip on top, I created two shelves for my photos and title to sit on. Starting from this base, I built up clusters of fussy cut florals from both the patterned paper and vellum, as well as sticker sheet and ephemera icons. I even fussy cut the tiny little flowers to use as scattering bits around my clusters.

On the right side, I added a label for journaling and an adorable little house. On the bottom, I used the line for a large title from the gold foiled titles pack. The falling florals and leaves seemed fitting for photos from autumn here in the United States. I adore these sweet little moments with nature!

 

I hope this layout inspires you to take photos of unexpected moments or animals that you encounter and record those too! You never know what these memories will mean to you in the future. To see how “Good Life” came together, check out the process video below:

Together | Heart and Home | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here with you today and I’m so excited to be sharing my first layout using the stunning new Heart and Home collection! I absolutely adore the soft muted colours and lovely ‘homely’ feel of this collection. For my first layout, I decided to document a recent photo of my hubby and kids taken on Fathers Day.

As this layout is focused on my hubby on Fathers Day, I decided to give it a bit more of a masculine feel by narrowing the colour palette down to the blues, greens and browns in the collection. I chose four of the patterned papers – Harvest, Golden Fields, Leaf Litter and Fall Beauty – and cut each into a large triangle before piecing them together to create my background. I matted my photo with the woodgrain patterned paper from the A5 Paper Stack and adhered it in the middle of the page using craft foam to help it ‘pop’ off the page.

To embellish the layout I created three floral clusters which create a visual triangle and help to draw the viewer’s eye to the photo. The first cluster underneath the photo includes some flowers and sprigs from the Floral Ephemera pack, as well as a label sticker that I added the date to, and a die cut phrase. I also fussy cut an acorn and leaf from the Leaf Litter paper to add to the cluster. Underneath the photo I added a sub-title using the sweet Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers.

Next I created a cluster to the left of the photo. Again I used Floral and Die Cut Ephemera, and the same colours that I used in the first cluster. To create some dimension in the cluster, I tucked some elements underneath the photo and adhered some overlapping the edge of the photo.

I created a third and final cluster at the top of the page using similar pieces that I’d used in the first two clusters. By repeating colours and elements throughout each of the embellishment clusters it helps to make the layout feel cohesive and balanced. I also finished off each cluster with a Puffy heart Sticker. Above the photo I added my title using one of the stunning words from the Gold Titles pack and underneath the title I added a final finishing touch with a tiny word sticker that says ‘family is everything’.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today. I hope that you enjoyed taking a look at my layout featuring the beautiful new Heart and Home collection!

Beautiful place | Heart and Home | Josefine Van der Hoeven

 

Hello Paperlovers, Welcome to today’s Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog for some fresh Scrapbook inspiration! I’ve chosen the latest collection called “Heart and Home.” What a delightful collection, perfect for cozy autumn moments and family nature adventures. I wanted to document this photo of my daughter and me high up in the mountains in Austria, and the “Heart and Home” collection is a perfect fit. When we’re in the mountains, it truly feels like coming home. Every year, we climb to the eternal snow. We had so much fun. It’s essential to me to capture these unique moments like this one.

 

 

I’m starting with a white cardstock paper as the base of my layout. I’m using a dark blue distress oxide called “faded jeans.” I apply the ink with a damp sponge, dabbing it onto the white cardstock paper until I’m happy with the mixed media background. I also splatter some extra blue ink with a brush for a playful effect. I choose two sheets of design paper, cut them to size, and place them behind the photo. I try to match the colors of the design paper with the photo, opting for a blue and brown shade and I position the photo in the center of the layout.

 

 

Now it’s time to create clusters, and I carefully select various flower die-cuts for the clusters. I use 3D foam for the clusters to make the flowers stand out beautifully on the blue mixed media background. For the title, “Beautiful Place,” I use gold foil word die-cuts. These match perfectly with the stunning colors in the collection. I place the title partially over the photo and between the two flower clusters. I complement the title with a lovely word die-cut, “with you I am home,” and playfully position two fallen leaves. I embellish my layout with adorable blue puffy hearts. I fussy cut a few butterflies from the patterned paper and give them a place between the flowers. From the vellum, I cut out some additional flowers and place them between the flower clusters. I’m already a fan of these beautiful vellum flowers!

 

 

I splatter a bit of white gesso, and my layout is ready. I hope I’ve been able to inspire you with this mixed media layout and look forward to seeing you next time on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog. Wishing you a creative and wonderful day!

XoXo, Jo
