These Days Accessory Sticker sheet

Love You | These Days collection | Kellie Moore

Good morning CVS fans, I hope you are all well.

Today I am sharing a page with you that I created using the beautiful ‘These Days’ collection….documenting a picture of my hubby and I.

To start my page I decided I wanted to create a background using circles. I pulled out the A5 paper stack and cut a bunch of circles, then decided to give them more interest on my page I handstitched around them.

Next, I wanted to add some layers behind my photo so again I used a few different papers from the A5 paper stack and added a layer of white tissue paper to add a different texture. Next I cut two frames from the ‘Wall of Fame’ patterned paper and stuck them out from each side of my photo.

To start embellishing my page, I cut some florals from the ‘Home Grown’ paper and added them to the top left and bottom right of my photo to create a diagonal flow…..can anyone else not get enough of Zoe’s florals?!!

For my title I used the ‘Love’ black foam sticker from the ‘Foam Title Stickers’ then a stamp from my stash. Along the bottom of my photo you can see I used a mug and typewriter from the ‘Clear Sticker Sheet.’

To finish off my page, I also added some of the ‘ Wood Epoxy Buttons’ into my clusters.

To finish off my page, I also added some of the ‘ Wood Epoxy Buttons’ into my clusters….circles on circles! I love the dimension this gives to my page.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you are looking forward to getting the new ‘Storyteller’ collection as much as I am!

Till next time

My World | These Days collection | Kellie Moore

Good morning everyone and welcome back to the CVS blog.

For today’s layout I thought I would pull out the ‘These Days’ collection from my stash and create a more feminine page to share with you.

I had an idea of wanting to create a design with multiple photos on my page and I managed to squeeze 18 photos on….. I have never done this before and am really happy with the result.

I decided to print off a bunch of photos of my husband with myself and all of the kids. To keep the page from getting too busy I decided to print my pictures in black and white.

I wanted to create a focal point for my title to sit on so I cut out a globe cut file and used papers from the A5 paper stack to back it.

To fill out the globe I cut out a heap of the florals from the ‘Homegrown’ paper and some of the houses from the ‘Neighbourhood’ paper. For the florals, instead of sticking them flat to the page, I simply used my hands to bend the petals slightly then glued the centres down. I finished the clusters off with some of the hearts from the ‘Clear Stickers’ and some of the word phrases from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet.’

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have been inspired…maybe you could try getting 18 photos on a page?!

Happy Scrapping!

Scrap Lift Yourself! | These Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS crafty friends! Have you ever scrap lifted yourself? I have done it in the past when I am in a mojo rut, it’s a great way to get your creating going again, or perhaps its just a layout that you designed and loved so why not, do it again! Today I am sharing a layout created using These Days collection, which is a scrap lift of a layout I created using Sunkisssed collection.

Here is the original layout:

And here is my second take! I love the fact that no two layouts ever look the same when you scrap lift, they still look original. I chose a family theme for this layout. So my patterned papers stood out I used the Pretty Posies paper using the wood grain side. I gave a light splatter of white paint. I then used Take Flight, Home Grown and Family Ties papers to create my horizontal torn strips.

I chose a butterfly cut file for this layout to replace the origami heart. I cut it three time and only glued the centre to give it a 3D effect. I used Neighbourhood and The Good Life papers. I then added my 6×4 inch landscape photo matting it and adding with foam tape to add dimension.

My next step was to add flowers and florals like I did in my original layout. I used the Floral Ephemera pack and added to each side of my photo. I layered some on top of each other so they didn’t appear ‘flat’. I created an embellishment cluster to the right of my photo using the Die Cut Ephemera, Puffy Stickers and Wood Epoxy Buttons.

I created my title using phrases from the die cut pack and finished off with another wood epoxy button.

Lastly I added word stickers from the Accessory Stickers to create a sub title around the wing of the butterfly.

I love how my scrap lift layout turned out, I hope it inspires you to give it a try too!

Thank you for stopping by today and see you again later in the month!

My Joy | These Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

Happy November CVS friends! Yes December is fast approaching, I can’t wait to start creating with the new Joyful collection but in the meantime I am still happily creating with TheseDays Collection.

I love creating baby layouts and here I have used two baby themed cut files, the baby romper and bunny wreath, both from the silhouette design store. I used the baby romper as the mat for my photo, but to keep it a feature I cut it twice and used foam tape to layer it. I also added a border with machine stitching.

I embellished on and around my photo, adding gold glitter hearts and epoxy flairs from the collection to further frame it! I also add butterflies from the clear stickers.

I had to add flowers to this baby girl layout and used a combination of die cuts and puffy stickers to create my bloom at the bottom of my bunny wreath. I used foam tape on some to create a layered effect.

I finished my layout off adding more butterflies around my page and create my title using the mini puffy alphas and used the accessory sticker sheet to create some journalling.

I love how this turned out, These Days collection colour hues are just so soft and beautiful. If you wanted to create a baby boy page you could add more of the green and blues in the collection and less of the apricot.

As always thank you for stopping by today!

Captured | These Days | Michelle Stokes

Hey Hey! It’s Michelle here today with a new layout share featuring the These Days Collection, and boy was it a fun one to create! I had the joy this week of Scrap-lifting one of my fellow DT Members Kylie, and yes a challenge it was. I had the hardest time deciding which beautiful layout of hers to recreate as they’re all so stunning! I chose something wonderful that was created a couple of years back, heres my version…

Fussy cut florals eat your heart out! If you cant tell by what I’ve created, I chose the absolutely stunning layout Kylie created with the Unforgettable collection and all those beautiful hand made flowers. Now my layout doesn’t stack up to the amazing creation below, but I’m still pretty happy with the outcome.

To create my version of Kylies layout I turned the orientation of the layout around in a couple of different ways. I used the design of the layout as a sketch and both rotated and mirror flipped it to create the design of my own layout. I used similar elements and pattern ideas that Kylie has used, just in a slightly different way.

I started with a pattern paper background using a mix of dotted paper, wood grain paper and a multicolour pattern to peek out between the 2.  (Family Ties & Pretty Posies paper)

I scrapped a cute photo of Leila from many many moons ago, almost 10 years ago to be exact. I printed the photo in black and white as I knew I’d be adding A LOT of colour within the clusters of florals and didn’t want them to clash. I added a couple of layers of A5 papers behind and adhered it over the background using foam for a hint of dimension amongst all the other layers.

I added the title to the photo using a foam word title from the Unforgettable collection along with 2 cut apart pieces from the Good Life paper that I adhered with a little foam tape.

Next up was the fun part of creating clusters of florals in a diagonal line across the layout. I had pre-cut tonnes of flowers from the Home Grown paper in both 12×12 and A5 sizes while sitting on the couch one night a few weeks back so there was plenty to play with. I layered the florals using both foam tape and glue dots and added a touch of silver thread for added texture. The cute gold glitter heart adds another form of texture and dimension to the cluster along with the cute mini puffy hearts

I used more of the same elements in the top cluster too. Just love these colours together

On the right side of the photo I’ve added more florals in a mini cluster along with a frame from the Wall of Frame paper, cut apart pieces from the Good Life paper, more puffy stickers and thread

I really enjoyed creating this layout, especially making floral clusters with all those gorgeous flowers and I certainly never grow tired of creating with them.

Well friends that’s all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Until next time, Happy Scrapping

I love you to pieces | These Days Collection | Raquel Bowman

Hi everyone, firstly…..Happy Father’s Day to all those special people in everyone’s lives!

Today on the blog I want to focus in on the amazing A5 paper pads that are now available with most CVS collections. However, I was feeling sentimental about the day that it is today so I have created a layout featuring my man and the dad to my two kiddies.

This man is truly amazing as a father and a husband who I really look up to ….  and in these times, that are so hard for us all it is so important to appreciate and acknowledge those who make such a positive impact in our lives. To say thank you…I love you… or to pay it forward with a kind gesture.

Here is the layout that I created today to share with you:

What I love about the A5 pads is that the designs we all love on the 12×12 designs are printed smaller on the pads. Which means, when you are backing small parts of a cut file, the printed designs fit within like they were meant to be.

 

The subject of my layout as mentioned previously is my husband . I used a new cut file from ‘CTY’ Cut to You to create days layout. I had already printed photos in my stash to fit within the file but I am guessing that these would be 2″x2″ pics.

Since we’re focusing on the A5 pads I wanted to show you how great the smaller prints revert to a smaller cut file. The process may take a while but it is so worth it. I know there are an abundance of YouTube videos of creators who do this same thing on their layouts.

Here is a look in more detail:

 

I used the ephemera pack and floral ephemera to embellish to the side of my photos. I used three of the wood buttons too!

 

The ‘you have my heart’ was a perfect addition to this layout. This was from the 12×12 cut apart paper.

 

I used a combination of regular adhesive and foam adhesive to adhere the main elements to the layout.

Thank you so much for stopping by the CVs blog today – I am sending you so much love and good health.

 

I appreciate what a trying time it is for all of us. So I hope this page has brought you some happiness. Here I n Vic we are into the 200+ days of  lockdown and remote learning….its starting to take its toll, as a teacher and a Mumma.

Sweet Memories | These Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hi CVS friends! I am having so much fun creating with the new These Days collection. I love the black foam title stickers and puffy alphas and these are the focus of my layout today.

I have documented my families love of Lemon Meringue pie which my husband makes. I found this gorgeous cooking apron cut file in the Silhouette Design store. I used the Daybreak paper as my background paper, it’s a great choice when using a white background paper would be too stark. I used Pretty Posies and Wall of Fame papers to create my apron. I added it with foam tape to create a 3D effect.

Embellishing the apron was such fun! On the oven kit I add one of the gold glitter puffy hearts and created my title using ‘sweet’ word from the black foam title stickers and ‘memories’ word from the puffy stickers. I love how the black contrasts against the colours of the apron. I finished off adding a floral wood epoxy button. I also added machine stitching on the border of my apron and used some ribbon from my stash.

Once I added my photo slightly under my apron I used the puffy alphas to create a sub title, I used various colours for visual interest. I used a phrase sentiment from the accessory stickers which I placed on my actual photo which also added some contrast against the yellow of my photo.

I love the CVS clear stickers and I always run out of these first! On this layout I used two paint brush strokes, they really add a mixed media feel (without the mess of course). At the end of creating a layout I always leave it overnight and then the next day go back with fresh eyes and add finishing touches, here I added some puffy sticker butterflies, flowers from the floral ephemera pack.

I really love how this turned out and that I have documented another family moment to one day look back on. Thank you for popping in today and I hope you have a wonderful and crafty week ahead.

These Days | Little Moments of Joy | Rachel Lowe

I know I say this every time a new CVS collection is released but…..the  These Days collection is my new fav! I wanted to create a ‘family’ themed layout which this collection is perfect for!

I firstly tore a strip for the Neighbourhood paper which creates the theme of ‘family’. I tore two more strips using the Family Ties and The Good Life papers. I am a little obsessed with paper tearing currently, I love the texture it creates and enables you to layer multiple papers no matter what the colours or patterns.

I created an embellishment cluster at the top left of the paper strips, as you can see from my photo I tucked some of the elements under the paper strips. I created a visual scene that coordinated with the Neighbourhood paper. The die cut ephemera has so many gorgeous designs! I added some gold thread under the die butterfly to soften.

After adding my 6×4 inch landscape photo I used one of the Pocket Cards, cutting it down to a square. I added this with foam tape placed slightly over my photo. I just adored this die cut of a mother and child and had to add it to my layout. I finished this embellishment cluster off with a wood epoxy button and butterfly.

To connect my photo to each of the embellishment clusters I added butterflies (with foam tape) in a way that they appear to be flying across my page. I tucked some flowers from the floral die cut ephemra pack and added a word sentiment from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

This collection certainly makes it easy to create wonderful layouts, the colour palette has my heart! I didn’t feel the need to add a cut files as the many embellishments of this collection are many and so varied.

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing all your layouts created with These Days.
