Hello Summer! | Terhi

Jun

Hey all!
It’s Terhi Koskinen here sharing you some tips to capture your summer memories in a beautiful way. I’m using Pebbles Sun and Fun collection, which is my most favorite line to scrapbook summer themed layouts.

If I can choose a photo for my layout I want to create, I often choose one taken with a good camera, people staying still with pretty smiles and even choosing photos edited in proper way.
This summer I will challenge myself to use more photos taken randomly, just like the one on this bright and colorful layout.

As the photo is a bit blurry and small, I decided to bring the feeling from it to the layout. My girls and their Grandpa were showing the fish they got, and the excitement was one of the things I wanted to honor. Colors are perfect for this! I picked up three bright colors from Sun and Fun patterned papers, pink, blue and green. Bringing the feeling from the photo to the layout is always a key to success.

In addition to bright colors, I added lots and lots of details to catch attention from the blurry photo. There are bits and pieces of patterned papers, ephemera, fussy cut pieces, washi tapes and much more! Also, there are words and phrases supporting the great feeling from the photo.
Finally, I finished the page by adding watercolor details close to matching colors.

What do you think, could you use more everyday photos? How about making a layout with lots of details? And maybe even finish it with some watercolor elements!
Hope you feel inspired! Have a great day!

Hello darling butterfly scrapbooking layout and process video

Feb

Leave a Comment

Hi everyone. Heather Leopard is here with a butterfly scrapbooking layout that can be completed in 45 minutes if you have the right tools and can work fast. To help you along the way, I’ve documented the process in the video at the end of this blog post. Once you get the patio party collection in your hands, or any other supplies you’d like, you can follow along with me to create this fun layout.

Paper peicing – 12 minutes

To get started, cut a supersized butterfly using your electronic cutting machine. Peel the butterfly from the mat and also save the larger bits you cut out to use as templates for filling in the holes with patterned paper. Next, choose 5 – 7 coordinating patterned papers. This is where you could spend too much time overthinking things. DO NOT overthink the pattern placement. If you are working with papers within the same collection, chances are they will look good next to each other. Just pick up a paper and get started…Starting at the top, select the template you reserved from the butterfly. Place it over your patterned paper and cut around it, leaving just enough edge around the perimeter – maybe 1/8″ or 1/4″ inch. It just really depends on the design. Once you’ve cut that out, discard the template and adhere the patterned paper to the back of the butterfly. You should have a perfect or near perfect fit. Repeat until all spaces are filled.

Secure the butterfly to the page, machine stitching down the center and adhering the left patterned paper side with foam dots.

Butterfly clustering – 12 minutes

Next, you are going to add flower and butterfly embellishments to the top of the other side. Make sure you save space for your photo (I used a 3″x3″ inch photo. I adhered my photo using foam dots and then filled in around it, adding flowers and butterflies. Once that was complete, I moved along the butterfly, adding flowers and butterflies along the edge of the butterfly and working inward to fill in all the spaces. I adhered some directly to the paper with liquid glue and I popped others up using foam dots. I worked this pretty fast to fill in all the spaces.

Add the finishing touch – 6 minutes

In the time remaining, you just need to add a title, a cluster or flowers / butterflies on the patterned paper wing and around the title and journaling.

Craft along with me

As promised, here is the process video I created for this butterfly scrapbooking layout. I sped up the time so you don’t have to sit and watch me for 45 minutes. Remember: don’t overthink this, you too can re-create this in under an hour, maybe even 30 minutes if you don’t have any interruptions.

Hello Spring Cards

Hi, Renee here today to share a trio of Hello Spring cards using the Tealightful collection. Is it spring yet? Ha! Has all the snow disappeared for good bringing us green grass and warm sunshiny days? I hope you have a chance to enjoy spring in all it’s beauty. Now that we’re coming out of hibernation 😉 why not send warm and happy “Hello” greetings to family and friends along with wishes for a happy spring.

I started my Hello Spring cards by trimming neutral Cardstock to 5″ x 10″. I scored and folded the cards in half to make 5″ x 5″ cards.

I trimmed the Fresh Picked, Meadow, and the Floral Patchwork pattern papers to 1″ x 4 ¾” strips.
I lined up the strips of papers into a square and marked where the inner corners of the papers met.
I then cut from the inner corner mark to the outer corner of the pattern paper strips. They form a great little frame when placed back together.
I arranged the pattern paper frames and machine stitched them to the cards.

I really like how the machine stitching looks on the pattern paper frame pieces.

I added simply sweet embellishments to each card. For this card, I adhered a bee and beehive Transparent Stickers directly to the card. Even with the Textured Cardstock, the Transparent Stickers adhered perfectly. I added flower Puffy Stickers and “hello” Word Stickers to each card.

Simple Hello Banner

Jul

Leave a Comment

Hey there, Amy from The Happy Scraps here today. I’m excited to share this Simple Hello Banner with you today. I really love all the fun papers in the Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection. The bright colors and patterns are so fun! I picked out a few of my favorites to make this banner with. Banners are one of my favorite things to make. They are great for making a statement piece, and they are so customizable.

For this banner I grabbed five of the papers I really like in the Everyday Collection, the gold glittered thickers, and the wood banner pieces.

I started by tracing my banner pieces onto the back of the paper I wanted to use.

Then I cut it out.

Using some wood glue, I put some on, then spread it out over the entire wood banner piece.

I placed my paper over the glue and smooth it out good to make sure it was on there well.

Once I had all the banner pieces put together, I punched out some circles. I inked the edges of all the banner pieces and the circles with brown ink.

Next I placed the letters on the center of the circles.

I placed a foam 3-dimensional tab on the back of the circles.

Then I mounted them on the banner pieces.

I punch out the holes and used some baker’s twine to string them together, creating the simple hello banner.

I put it up with my other summer decor, and I think it’s a perfect addition!

What do you think? Aren’t the bright colors SO fun?! Grab some supplies and make yourself a simple hello banner.

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! Amanda here today. Spring is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited. I can’t wait for the flowers and trees to bloom and bud and breathe a little bit of color into the drab winter landscape. I pulled out a bunch of gold foiled pineapples and embellishments and paired them with some happy green patterned paper to create an instant Spring atmosphere in my craft room.
