My Creative Scrapbook

Hello!  I'm here today to share a couple more layouts I created for My Creative Scrapbook with the amazing Main Kit....You can see the full kit here!

 Using my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs, I pieced together the Snowflake edger around the base of my layout to add a bit of elegance to the layout. The Mega Tea Party Doily is the perfect backdrop for the Santa that I fussy cut from pattern paper.

All the foliage was cut from the same off white cardstock as the edger and doily. I added color to the foliage using Ranger Distress inks and pouncers….colors used: Forest Moss, Pine Needles, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, and Shabby Shutters. A similar effect could be created using fewer colors. I use more colors to get more variation in different types of foliage used. To create the flower cluster, I started by choosing the placement of the flowers. Next, I tucked in the leaves, followed by the flourish. From there, I poke in one piece at a time until the bouquet it is pleasing to my eye.

 

Snowflake 2 and the Snowflowers floating about completes the wintery feel.

 

I placed a few more pieces of foliage here and there for a bit of interest.

 

 I created this layout to have a shadowbox effect by cutting my pattern paper into a frame and adhering it to the background using foam adhesive.

 

When cutting the frame, I fussy cut around the bird on the pattern paper. I added diecut foliage for dimension.

Have a fabulous and safe holiday weekend!!!

 

Non Traditional Holiday Card

Hello! I have my last holiday card to share!

 Stepping away from my comfort zone, I chose to use non traditional holiday colors. The background was cut using the largest Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stacker. Lace Corner Deco C adorns the corners. I turned the Dutch Scallop Square Frame at an angle for more interest.

 

 

 To create the flower, I cut Rose Leaf Strip twice. I staggered the leaves as I attached them. Once assembled, I added just a touch of Distress Stickles to add to the vintage flair. Build a Flower Embellishment #2 was used to create the flower center. Foilage was cut using Wreath Strip and Holly Leaves.   Tucked in behind the flower is Snowflake 2. 

 

Here you can see the details in the background. I covered the Diamonds & Starburst Embossing Plate with Ranger Distress Ink (Spun Sugar) to add a hint of color to the embossed areas. This is the smaller of the Merry Christmas sentiment set.

I started by stamping the  The Snow Cardnial with Prussian Blue on white cardstock. I cut the my card 3.5 inches x 6 inches and extended to 4x7 inches on the bottom to make my folds. I stamped the background paper with the Musical Border using Warm Red ink. The card base and matte were cut using the Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Mega Dies. To the right of the image, I added a portion of the O Tannenbaum X-mas Tree, adding color and filling in the scene. On the first fold, I added the Garden Gate (distressed with Chestnut Roan), adorned with the Christmas Light Swag.  Pine Branches in the top corner add more color and texture. Snowflakes flutter about.

 

  Snow flowers #1 dress up the sentiment stamp (Love & Cheer), stamped in Dark Moss.

Fun with Angel wings!

Hello! Today I have a fun Thanksgiving card  I created for Cheery Lynn Designs!

  I created the fun scallop edge of my card using the English Tea Party Doily Angel Wing!

 I cut the strip for my card base, then taped the angel wing to the end of the strip so that it wouldn’t move as I cut it.

 Whaaala!! A fun decorative edge on your card!

 The frame was cut using the middle size Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stacker. I then cut out a portion of the coved rectangle block using Classic Square Silver Stacker making a fun frame for my sentiment! I finished off the frame with Lace Corner Deco B. I cut two layers of Fall Pumpkins, trimming off the outer edge of one layer and adhered it to the center of the pumpkin with foam adhesive for dimension to my pumpkin. I layered the pumpkins atop the larger of Two of Hearts tucking in leaves and foliage from Mini Fanciful Flourish, Wreath Strip, Small Leaves #2.

The Little Things

Hello! Jodi here with a 12x12 layout inspired by this weeks challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs, Autumn colors.

I just love to play with the border dies from Cheery Lynn Designs! They have so many details, and can be implemented on cards and layouts of any style. Here I have layered the Anastasia Border atop the Border Carnivale for a bit of fun, and added the elegant Tiffany Border around the photos.

  A fall cluster must have a Sunflower! I love the details cut in to the flower center! I cut two layers of flower, staggering the petals as I adhered them, then added the flower center with foam adhesive for dimension. The burgundy Mums were created by cutting two layers each of the large, medium, and small Darling Daisies. Using the tip of my stylus, I molded the petals forward to mimic the Mum. I them assembled them staggering the petals of each layer as I went.

The main flower in this cluster was cut with the Stacker Flower #5. I used two layers each of the large, medium, and small spiky flower center from Build a FlowerBuild a Flower Embellishment #1. The smaller yellow flowers throughout the layout are found in the Build a Flower Embellishment #2 set.

  Foliage and leaf dies used:

  Mini Fanciful Flourish

Fanciful Flourish

 Small Leaves #1

 Small Leaves #2

Flourish Leaf Strip

Rose Leaf Strip

Wreath Strip

Fall Foliage

Hello! Jodi here sharing a 12x12 layout for Cheery Lynn Designs featuring an assortment of  leaves in fall colors!

  I’ve used the Bunny and Chick border to dress up my background layer. I split the Polynesian Sails Oval in half, layering each half on top and bottom of my photos adding a bit of elegance and texture to the layout.

 I cut two layers of Sunflower for each flower, staggering the layers as I adhered them. The flower centers were attached with foam adhesive to add dimension. Rose Leaf Strip was cut in green for flower leaves.

 Fall leaves were cut from Small Leaves #1, Small Leaves #2, Large Leaves #2. Other foliage filling in are Mini Fanciful Flourish, Fanciful Flourish, Pair of Ferns, Olive Branches, Wreath Strip, and Flourish Leaf Strip. The title was cut using the elegant Delicate Lace Script.
