Hello CVS friends! Well I couldn’t resist ‘that’ amazing rainbow paper from the Sunkissed collection any longer and have a tropical themed layout featuring some gorgeous summer cocktails.
I fussy cut out the rainbow from the Bright Side paper, leaving out the red outer strip as I wanted the pinks to feature. I added to white cardstock and machine stitching the outer pink strip of the rainbow to add definition.
I next made three tropical flowers slightly varying in sizes. I used a cut file from the Silhouette design store. I used Fun in the Sun and Feelin Fine papers to make my flowers. Once I made my tropical flowers I added to my rainbow but only wet gluing the centres so I could tuck elements under. From the Floral die cut pack I then added sprigs and leaves under my flowers.
I added my 5×4 inch landscape photo with foam tape, tucking under the sun die cut and adding a Wooden epoxy button over my photo. To connect my photo I added the Love This die cut words.
I created an embellishment cluster focusing on the drinks and fruits from the die cut pack and Puffy Stickers finishing off with some phrase sentiment die cuts. To avoid my layout looking ‘flat’ I added these elements with foam tape.
Due to the colour overload I ensured there was enough negative space between embellishment clusters. I love creating layouts that have ‘no people’ photos and focusing on those little life pleasures which are just as important to document. Thank you for stopping by today!

Hi everyone, today I have my second layout to share using the fab Sunkissed collection. I just adore this rainbow paper Sunny Days and this was the inspiration for my layout.
My photo is of my daughter at one of our gorgeous beaches in Western Australia. I used a swimsuit cut file from the Silhouette Design Store. I placed this on a slight angle of my page but only putting double sided tape in the middle of the swimsuit so I could tuck some flowers from the floral ephemera pack and so I could add machine stitching to the swimsuit (sewing machine needles do not like double sided tape).
I next added my photo with foam tape so I could add elements under it. My photo size is 4×5 inches. I am such a fan of puffy stickers and wood epoxy buttons which I have used to layer a single die cut.
I created an embellishment cluster under my photo my photo and using phrase sentiments from the die cut ephemera pack and so they didn’t get ‘lost’ on the busy rainbow paper I chose strong contrasting colours and added with foam tape to add height. I finished this cluster off adding puffy stickers and all Australian Jandals or thongs (flip flops for everyone else!!!)
I love adding embellishments to my photos, the sun puffy sticker perfect on my photo. I also added some gold hearts randomly over my rainbow paper from the glitter foam title stickers to add more texture to my layout.
I added some sky to my layout by tearing the top right corner of the rainbow paper and using the Just Chillin paper, which is the same paper I used for the swimsuit and adding a rainbow puffy sticker so they looked connected. If you are not sure about machine stitching on your layout here are some tips to make it easier: firstly make sure your speed is at the slowest in can be, this gives you more control and allows you to sew on the curves with greater accuracy, also I always add stitching at the beginning of my layout so if I mess it up I am not ruining a whole layout.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful week with some time to scrap!
