Don't grow up layout for PINK PAISLEE
Friday, March 22, 2019
Hi lovely friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog today to share the cutest layout made with the adorable Little Adventurer collection.
In December me and my girlfriends did a little shooting session and one of my friends brought this huge teddy bear. I took some pictures with it and I think they turned out so cute and dreamy. The new Little Adventurer collection was perfect to document it.
To start I created this adorable little bear using the paper-piecing and hand-stitching techniques. I drew the bear, cut out the different pieces, traced around those on different patterned papers and cut them out again. Then I adhered them on a pink patterned paper, stitched around some parts with matching thread and cut it out leaving this pink border.
For my background, I took a 12x12 sheet of white paper and did some mixed media on it that would look like a kind of halo behind the bear. Then I splattered a lot of gold and pink paint all over the page. When everything was dry, I placed the bear on the page and adhered it with craft foam to make it more dimensional.
I wanted the bear to wear a flower crown, So I used some flower stickers but also cut a few out of the patterned papers. I added them to the head, along with some wood veneer stars that I painted white. I also gave the bear a little flower to hold in its hand.
I matted my picture on a lot of pieces of patterned paper... love doing that... and placed it next to the little bear.
For my title, I used different materials. I used some of the alpha thickers, a word thicker that I cut apart, some hand-cut letters and some gold glitter letters I fussy-cut out of the speciality paper included in the collection. I love mixing alphas and fonts, it always look super fun! :)
I added some scalloped border stickers to two of the sides and some chipboard and cardstock stars and I was done! :)
Thank you so much for spending some time with me.
Fantastic layout for PINK PAISLEE
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Hey scrappy people,
it's Lisa back on the blog today, sharing a layout I made using the brand new Paige Evans collection called Horizon. I really love every Paige collection, but I have to admit, with Oh my Heart, this is my favorite collection of them all. :)
Here is what I created...
I wanted to make a layout where I could showcase a lot of those beautiful patterned papers in rainbow colors. So I chose one of Paige newest cutfiles where I could back each letter with a different patterned paper. I used papers with very small patterns that can almost count as solids.
I started by tracing each letter on the papers and cut them out. I didn't want to back the cutfile in the usual way though, I wanted the cutfile to sit on the letters a little crooked. So I attached the letters to another one of the patterned papers and the I placed the cutfile on top. I stitched over each letter of the cutfile with color matching thread to give more interest.
Haha... don't look at some letters too closely, the stitching machine is a bit complicated and not that performant and I'm really not the best at machine stitching... ;) I don't think it matters though, I love that it's not really perfect.
I also used a 3d flower cutfile from Paige to create some flowers with matching colors. I placed the flowers next to the letters with the same color.
I also added some ephemera flowers next the 3D ones. The flowers of this collection are EXACTLY how I love them... I will need at least 20 packs of ephemera... :)
I also wanted to add leaves to the flowers, but using more patterns and colors would've been too much. So I cut them out of white paper and traced around them with a fine gold pen. Then I added them to some of the bigger flowers. I matted my pictures on some scraps of paper and added them too.
Since you couldn't see the word of the cutfile 'Fantastic' very good anymore, I wanted to include it again. I hand-cut out letters from matching patterned papers, adhered them to white paper and cut the word out, leaving a white border. Then I adhered it to the layout, adding also the word 'women' with tiny foam thickers.
To frame the layout, I used a few of the washi tapes from the collection. I ripped random pieces of them and adhered them to the borders of the page.
Finally, I added some white splatters and I was done!
Thank you so much for being here! :)
'Once upon a time' layout for PINK PAISLEE
Sunday, March 3, 2019
Hi scrappy friends, it's Lisa on the blog today to share this layout with you.
A few weeks ago, we got the brand new Pink Paislee collection called 'Little Adventurer'. It's a baby collection and has a boy part and a girl part. The designs and elements are really cute and I was really looking forward to start working with it. Since I don't have kids though, it'll be a bit challenging to find the right pictures to go with it. I can always use all the pictures of my cat, haha! :)
Here I didn't use a picture of my cat though, I used a picture of me and two of my friends, we took a month ago. The picture has a lot of white and pink in it and is really cute, so I thought it'd be a perfect match.
After looking for some inspirations, I decided to create a cute little castle made out of patterned papers.
I chose some papers and started cutting out the different shapes I needed to make the castle.
When I had all my pieces, I started adhering them onto the page. To make the castle stand out more, I used a white and grey pen to trace around all of the elements. then I cut off the edges of my page and adhered it to a royal blue patterned paper to create a frame around the layout. You know me... I always need my frames, haha... :)
I really love the flowers in this collection. So I used the paper with the flowers to cut out a whole bunch of them and placed them around the page.
As my title, I used the thickers from the collection and wrote: 'Once upon a time...'
To finish the layout, I splattered some gold and blue paint all around it. :)
Thank you so much for being here. See you soon!
Lisa
