These days florals

Love Grows Here | These Days collection | Sophie Delorme

Hey Cocoa Vanilla friends!

It’s Sophie here and I am so exciting to share this new layout with you!

 

 

 

This week’s theme is all about florals! Heaven!!! It clearly is my all-time favorite embellishment!

I used the beautiful These Days collection for my page.

I decided to do three cascades of flowers around my black and white photo.

I fixed three white embroidery threads of different lengths with a brad on a thick white cardstock. I punched tiny holes on each flower that I planned to use. They come from the Floral Ephemera pack and some are also fussy cut out of the “Home Grown” patterned paper.

I strung the flowers on the threads in descending order to create the cascades and fixed each of them with adhesive to make sure that they stay in place.

 

I added many tiny flowers and leaves scattered around the cascades as well.

I used a simple title cut out of “The Good Life” paper.

 

I placed a strip of the “Pretty Posies” paper and a scalloped strip of white cardstock at the base of the layout to ground everything, and handwrote my journaling.

 

Here are more close-ups:

 

 

 

 

 

This was fun to make!! And although it might look sophisticated, it was a very simple way to highlight the beauty of these pretty florals!

I hope this was inspiring for you today,

Thank you for stopping by!

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!

Lovely Little Moments of Joy | These Days Collection | MIchelle Stokes

Hi Scrappy Friends, it’s Michelle back today with a new layout share featuring the sweet These Days Collection. I was seriously lacking in scrappy mojo this week so I took a walk down memory lane and chose a layout I made a few years back to scraplift. I added a few cute squishy cheek photos of a soon to be 11 year old and came up with this…

I love everything about this collection, and have had a hard time using all the pretty papers as they’re just all so beautiful. The rainbow ombré paper Daybreak was one that I was saving for a rainy day, and I reckon this was the best way for me to use it.

I added pieces of the smaller pattern papers from the A5 paper stack to some white cardstock and sewed them down into a grid design, leaving space for a few stinkin cute photos. These photos were taken so long ago, but I still remember how squishable those cheeks were.

I added a gold heart to the edge of this photo along with a cluster of florals from the A5 version of Home Grown paper, plus a couple cute puffy heart stickers.

I backed this sweet photo with the A5 wood grain paper Pretty Posies to help it pop off the layout a little more, with the addition of an accessory sticker tab.

Up on the top right I’ve used a mix of florals from both the 12×12 and A5 size of Home Grown paper, adhered with different adhesives for a range of layered dimension.

I added the title to the bottom right using a Foam Title sticker and a banner that I’ve fussy cut from an Pocket Page card.

Above the title I added another cluster, because there’s no such thing as too many floral clusters right? And when the florals are this damn pretty how can you stop?

Here’s one more….

Well that’s the last of the floral clusters for now. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my latest creation. Feel free to share in the comments about how you fix your lost scrappy mojo. Do you go back and scraplift yourself?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping
