Pumpkin cutfile mini album for PINK PAISLEE

Sunday, November 25, 2018

Hey friends,
welcome back to the blog. I'm very excited to share my newest mini album with you. I think it turned out very cool and special :)
Creating #minialbums is soooo much fun, @lisafonseca1985 thinks. She created her new mini album starting with a pumpkin cutfile, patterned papers and thread. See how she put the whole album together, using @paigetaylorevans new #whimsical collection by @pinkpaislee.
I had this idea that I wanted to use a cutfile as a base for my album. I didn't want to make rectangular pages as I often do, I wanted to have something more... whimsical and "fallish" :)

So to start, I chose a cutfile. It was a pretty long process, because I couldn't decide on a cutfile and if I wanted to use different ones or only one and the same for every page... but eventually I decided on this pumpkin cutfile that I really love and have already used in my previous layout.

I let my silhouette cut out 16 pumpkins without the stem and 2 whole pumpkins. I backed all  the stemless pumpkins (except 2) with four different patterned papers from the Whimsical collection. I chose papers that were pretty plain, that had only one color and didn't have a complicated pattern. I figured that it would be better to have neutral bases to put the pictures and embellishments on. Then I stitched around the backed cutfiles with gold and pink metallic thread. It didn't turn out perfect, because I'm really not that good at machine-stitching, but that's part of the whole whimsical style, I think :) Then I adhered two pumpkins, back on back, not putting tape on one side, so that they would create a little pocket to put some more pictures in. I hope you understand what I mean... ;)

For the cover, I backed one of the cutfiles that had the stem, but I didn't only use one paper, I used several patterned papers, to make the cover really colorful. Then I adhered the last cutfile to the back. I hand-stitched a bit of every part of the pumpkin using matching colors.
To finish the cover, I used some fabric flowers and gold thickers from the Auburn Lane collection.
I put a rose gold eyelet on every pumpkin page and then used a ring to create the album.

After the whole thing was put together, it was time to embellish the pages.
I knew I wanted to use pictures from our day in Disneyland Paris, so I thought of taking a lot of fun pictures that day and I think they turned out really cool and happy.
I repeated the same process to decorate every page. Matting the pictures on a patterned paper, adhering them with foam tape, embellishing with a few stickers, puffy stickers, ephemera pieces and enamel dots, adding some punched-out stars and finally writing one or a few words with the mini tickers from the collection. I also splattered some gold mist on every page.

Like I said, every pumpkin is sort of a pocket, so I was able to put some photos in there that I didn't have the space to put on the pages.
I adhered them on these little frames that I cut out from one of the patterned papers or on some other piece of paper and attached them with a glittered brad. I also adhered a little flag to them, so it was easier to see where they were and to pull them out.
Here all all of the pages... enjoy! :)

This page, is a shaker pocket. I created it with a plastic sheet and my fuse tool, filling it with sequins from the Auburn Lane collection.

Here, I laminated a cutfile and stitched the word "Disneyland", using different threads and a chain-link-stitch.

To finish the album and give it one last cute touch, I created this little tassel with paper pearls and a paper tassel. I love making those, they are the cutest :)
I hope you like the album and had fun reading through this.
Thank you

October love layout for PINK PAISLEE

Sunday, November 11, 2018

Hi scrappy friends,
it's Lisa back on the blog today sharing a super fun and colorful october layout, created with the new Paige Evans Whimsical collection.
See how @lisafonseca1985 used the new colorful @paigetaylorevans @pinkpaislee #whimsical collection and two cutfiles, to create a fun and cute october layout. Who says you can only use fall colors in fall… colorful is always more fun!
I had this picture from where I visited a small pumpkin patch here in Luxembourg. Since it was the first time I went to buy pumpkins at a farmer's, I was very excited and wanted to take some pictures with all the pumpkins on it... haha :) I was so happy, let me tell you!
I went through Paige's cutfiles and also through some cutfiles that I had favorited on Etsy and I thought that the pumpkin and the sugar skull were the perfect match. I love sugar skulls... I even have one tattooed on my arm... hehe ;)
So to start, I backed the cutfiles using different patterned papers from the Whimsical collection. I love how the colors are so bright and that there are beautiful papers with patterns, but also plain ones.

I took a white page, cut off a bit of the edges and placed it on one of the patterned papers. Then I stitched around the edges with gold thread. I used some gold mist to make splatters all over the page.

I used a few patterned papers to matte my picture and then I placed the cutfiles and the picture on my layout, using fun foam, to make them stand out and create dimension.

To finish, I embellished with some flowers I cut out from the flower patterned paper and I used some thickers from the Pink-me-up collection.
I love how this page turned out, it's totally "Lisa"!! :)
Thank you for stopping by!

Spooky cards for PINK PAISLEE

Friday, October 12, 2018

Hi scrappy people,
Halloween is right around the corner and I'm already really excited.
Last year, I bought the Spellcast collection but I didn't get around to using it that much. So I thought that it would be a great idea to use it again this year and make some spooky (but pretty chic) cards.Image 49
To start, I looked for cool spooky wreath cutfiles and I found some from Paige Evans in the silhouette store. Here are the links to the cutfiles: wreath 1, wreath 2. I also found this beautiful butterfly cutfile and thought it would match really well together.
Image 44
I chose some patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad, two for the backgrounds, two for cutting out the wreaths and another two for cutting out the butterflies. When I had everything cut out and my background papers adhered and stitched on a white square-ahaped card base, I backed the butterflies with some more patterned papers and then placed all the pieces on the cards.
Then I started choosing my embellishment pieces.
Image 47
I chose ephemera pieces, chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers and I also used some sequins from the Auburn Lane collection.
Image 41
I placed all the embellishments on the cards in a way I liked and topped them off with the butterflies, that I decorated with a few sequins and adhered with foam squares to make them pop. I wanted them to look like they weren't really part of the cards, but more like real butterflies just resting there. :)
Image 43
To finish the cards, I splattered some paint/ink on them.
Those cards were really easy to make once I had my cutfiles chosen. They came together pretty fast and I really love how they turned out. I think that the wreaths cutfiles really match the style of this spooky, yet chic collection. :)

I really hope you like them too, thank you so much for stopping by :)
