Snowflake kisses layout for PINK PAISLEE
Wednesday, January 23, 2019
Hi dear friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog to share this layout with you.
I wanted to scrap some pictures I had taken last year and still had laying around in my scrap room. I took the pictures in the snow, so I wanted a snowy layout :)
To start, I chose two cutfiles from Paige Evans I found in the Silhouette store (281821 and 282821). It's a winter town scene and a snowflake star. I cut the scene out of white paper and backed it with different patternd papers from the Whimsical collection. For the stars, I cut them out of different patterned papers, then I adhered them on another piece of paper and I hand-cut them out, leaving a border, so that every star would have two colors.
I also used a pink glitter paper from my stash to back the parts of the houses covered in snow and to punch out a few little stars that I adhered to the middle of every star snowflake.
When I had all of my pieces, I placed them on my white 12x12 white cardstock in a way I liked and looked balanced to me.
I wanted the stars to peak out behind the clouds or cover some of them, so I hand-cut out some clouds and I stitched around them with white thread. I also placed them on my layout. When everything was how I wanted, I started adhering everything down, using liquid glue for some items and foam squares for others, creating dimension.
I backed my three little pictures on some pieces of patterned paper and adhered them on the layout too.
For my title, I looked for a cute snowflake quote on Pinterest. I found this one that says: "Snowflakes are kisses from heaven". I wrote the word "kisses" on one of my favorite patterned papers from the Whimsical collection and then I cut it out. I placed it on another piece of paper and cut it out again. For the rest of the quote, I used the mini foam thickers from the Whimsical collection.
I love how it turned out! :)
To finish the layout, I stitched some french knots on the page to create tiny snowflakes. I also embellished some more, using rub-ons, stickers and ephemera from the Wild Child collection.
Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time :)
Christmas projects featuring DCWV products
Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Hi scrappy friends,
today I'm sharing a super cute Christmas project and a Christmas layout I made using some wonderful DCWV products. I had the chance to have been sent the Magical Holiday 12x12 Paper stack and the Very Merry project trees from DCWV which you can get at Joann stores :)
Using the pastel paper stack, I created a fun and wintery layout.
I started with two cutfiles, this cute bear from 2Cute Ink and this snowflake cutfile by Paige Evans (Design: 238513). To back the bear cutfile, I used a bunch of papers from the paper stack. Those cute, bright and pastel colors make for a fresh and wintery look and I love to use non-traditional colors for my Christmas projects. :)
I did a bit of mixed media on my white 12x12 paper sheet and then placed the snowflake cutfile and my finished bear, which I had hand-stitched with white thread, on my layout.
I embellished a bit more with some stickers included in the paper stack and some enamel dots, sequins and thickers from my stash.
For my second project, I used the Very Merry Trees pack. It includes 15 sheets of green metallic paper with which you can build christmas trees. Depending on how many layers you use, you trees get bigger or smaller.
I built 2 big trees and 3 smaller ones.
When I was finished building them, I spray-painted them pink and mint.
I used a long vase I had bought a few years ago, placed a piece of styrofoam in it, then stuck my trees in it.
I used mini pompoms, sequins, gold glitter star stickers and little puffy stars to decorate them.
Then I used some cotton wool to place around the trees to make it look like snow and hide the styrofoam beneath them.
I used thickers to write Merry Christmas on the vase (and yes... I wrote Merry Cristmas.... grrrr... but I was too lazy to stage everything again and take new pictures... ;)
I also put mini LED lights into the cotton, it's just very difficult/impossible to see on the pictures. To finish my little arrangement, I sprinkled some stars and glitter on the "snow".
I hope you like it and are inspired to make your own Christmas projects with DCWV products :)
Have a beautiful week, see you soon :)
