Floral Layout ft. Chasing Adventures

Apr

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing a step by step floral layout using the Chasing Adventures collection.

Flowers are a must have on every collection and the ones from the Chasing Adventure line are gorgeous! Tropical, with beautiful colors and perfect to document your vacations! Today, I decided to use them to create a floral layout with a picture of my little boy and my husband.

To create the layout, start by gathering all your supplies that have floral designs, you can use: papers, stickers, die cuts and small embellishments. I used some die cut flowers and also fussy cut some flowers from the beautiful patterns in this collection.

I arranged my flowers in two groups: One going down on the left side of my page and one going up on the right side of my page.

I added more flowers on the beginning of my cluster and put less as I moved up or down. Tip: use the 6×8 paper pad to fussy cut some flowers on a smaller scale.

I added my photo and a die cut with the words “Remember this” as my title, I love the small tassel on the die cut, it is so much fun!

To give a little more dimension to my layout I added some flowers with 3d dots, even some small ones! I also curled some petals from fussy cut flowers.

The final step was my journaling, I wrote some words underneath the title with thing I want to remember about my son.

The clusters on the edges turned out great! It looks as the flowers are falling down and the two cascades frame my picture.

I love to use flowers for every day layouts, even masculine layouts! How about you? Do you use flowers when you scrap the men in your life?

Thanks for joining me today and have a great day!

Eva

Sunshine Card Set with Video Tutorial

Leave a Comment

Hello all! Terhi here, hoping you all are having sunshine in your day today! I’m sharing some sunshine for you with my card set I made using ‘Oh Summertime!’ collection. To show you how I created these, I recorded a process video – see it in the end of this post.

To be more specific of what these cards are, I’d describe them as a treat bag tags mixed with cards. I got the idea to make the set of cards/tags when I was starting to plan some kind of gift to our children teachers this spring. Something handmade for sure, but also fun and colourful!

The treat bags I used, Homemade with Love Treat Bag Kit – Day Dream, are perfect to go with Oh Summertime! collection. They can be filled with any sweets of course, but also with anything else. How about some seeds to plant and grow beautiful flowers? Don’t let your imagination stop you.

As you can see, I didn’t add any large sentiments. Instead, I let the big circle shaped element speak loudly, wishing warm and sunny days, and thought to write my greetings to the back side.

To add more depth and interest to the cards I layered paper, paper and glitter die cut ephemera and fussy cut elements together. The result is fun-looking and very detailed!

This kind of project is super quick to do, and also quite simple. No need for tools in addition to scissors!

Take a look to the video here. If you can’t see the video, follow this link: Sunshine Card Set for Pebbles.

Thank you so much for taking time to visit here! See you soon again!

Organize your memories of spring !

Apr

Hello friends it’s Lucile ! Today I find you for a new project ! I suggest you make a mini album with pockets to organize your memories of spring. To make this mini album I used the collection “Heart Of Home” by Jen Hadfield. You can find the video of the complete tutorial at the end of the article.

To make the cover I used cardboard. Then I covered it with different papers from the collection. I wanted to make the slice with a different paper. I decorated it with stickers and die cuts. I ended up adding my title to the slice.

Inside I started by creating a pocket with four compartments: one for each month. I used four envelopes that I stuck together. I then covered the front of my pocket with a paper and I created another cover to slip a tag. I ended up decorating with die cuts and stickers. I created tabs with a punch and attached them to my photos to catch them easily in the pockets.

For the left part, I created a larger pocket. I cut the top so I could slide things in more easily. I decorated it with several embellishments of the collection.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it will help you organize your photos. We meet again very soon for a new realization !

Easter Egg Hunt Adventure

Apr

Leave a Comment

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share using the Chasing Adventure collection and a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. Now that my kids are no longer little, I really miss some of the traditions we had when they were little. Easter was always such a fun filled day. The Easter Bunny went all out at this house, making sure the egg hunt lasted for a while.

I started off my layout by cutting out this cut file from The Cut Shoppe. Then I backed it with pattern papers. The colors and floral patterns in this collection were really perfect for an easter themed layout.

Then I added a little mixed media to my cardstock, just so the cut file would pop more. I then added some stitching around the cut file. When I hand stitch, I don’t use a template. I punch out random holes in random distances from each other. I like this look better than when they are all even. (and it’s easier!)

Once the background was finished, it really didn’t need much more. I just added a few flower stickers and a title.

And to finish it off, I added a frame around my layout, as I almost always do!

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Egg Fights with Marcia

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I am sharing an Easter layout with you today created with the Pebble’s Loves Me collection as well as the Chasing Adventures collection. I love the floral patterns in the Loves Me collection. They work perfectly for Spring projects too. It’s definitely not just another Valentine’s Day collection. I wanted to use green pattern paper too though. In Spring everything becomes green again. I found just what I needed in the Chasing Adventures collection; a light green polka dot pattern as well as a darker green plaid pattern. I used the pattern papers to fill in the negative space in a gorgeous floral cut file as well as the inside of my alphas in my title.

When my extended family gathers for Easter, it’s a tradition for us to hold an Easter egg fight tournament. I created a large EASTER title to span my page. Then I used a script font to complete the title. I love combining fonts to make my titles more interesting and dramatic. I added a bird from the Loves Me ephemera pack and a few punched butterflies as well.

Backing cut files with pattern papers is a fabulous way to use up paper scraps. I added some foam tape behind the cut file to pop it up from the background paper.

What a beautiful way to use scraps, don’t you think! Have a great week.
