Neat and Crafty

Hi crafty friends,
sharing a bright and colourful Christmas layout using the beautiful truly grateful collection by Paige Evans ...I love this time of the year leading up to Christmas, all the decorations and shops playing Christmas songs..

For my layout today I wanted to use the geometric deer and confetti stars cut files together I started by using my cameo 3 and cutting out the deer in white cardstock then the confetti stars on a 12x12 white cardstock for my background then I trimmed my 12x12 white cardstock down along with a patterned paper from the 12x12 paper pad then applied it to paper 20 to add a border around the edge

Next I machine stitched around the edge of the white cardstock to give it a stitched boarder then using double sided foam tape I adhered the deer in the centre of my background then I matted my photo on papers from the 6x8 paper pad and tucked it just underneath the edge of the deer

I fussy cut flowers from one of the papers from the 12x12 paper pad and paper 10 for the leaves then using embroidery cottons I add coloured stitching to add extra texture to the flowers then I adhered them in a cluster on the deers head and to the bottom of my photo

I used the thickers to add my title in between the deers antlers then I added stickers and puffy stickers around to decorate the layout.

I hope I’ve given you some fun crafty inspiration today..happy crafting!

Hi crafty friends,
sharing a love layout for cocoa vanilla studio full of floral's using fussy cut flowers and die cuts flowers from unforgettable (do you like fussy cutting?) I think it’s one of those things that’s just relaxes me while I watch a show ...I’m totally hooked on prodigal son tv show at the moment.. and yep I’m one of those peeps who totally love’s crime shows!!.. well anyway back to my layout..

I started off by using story teller as my base of my layout and I wanted to have hearts popping in the background so I used a cut file from Paige Evans’s wonky hearts background and cut it out with my cameo in the center of the patterned paper so I could trim the paper down to add unscripted behind it and have a pink border as well. Then I machine stitched around the edges to add a extra textured border.

Next using a paper from happiness botanical bliss I used another cut file for my title from Paige Evans’s XOXO and I wanted to back it with white cardstock so I offset the design to add another layer behind to make it a bit stronger and to pop that floral design.

I matted my photo on papers from pretty bits and add stickers from the accessory stickers around my photo and in the layers. I then fussing cut flowers from patterned paper glorious to tuck underneath the my title

And using flowers from the ephemera die cuts I tucked them underneath the edges of the title and scattered them around adding little flowers on top of my cut file title

I used the mint enamel dots to add extra colour around the flowers and tucked a few clear stickers in the flower clusters and to finish off I used some glitter glue to add a few little dots inside the tiny flowers.

I hope I’ve given you some floral inspiration today..

Happy crafting everyone..

Hi there crafty friends,

sharing a layout using the fabulous bohemian dream collection

For my layout today I decided on this fabulous Unicorn cut file from Paige Evans as the main feature of my layout full of vibrant colour and layered clusters of flowers..

I started with backing the unicorn cut file first with abstract and abundant and then I used kaleidoscope b side paper and matted it on dreamer pattern paper as my base for my layout and before I machine stitched around the border I folded up 2 corners and cut a 2 inch square in half to tuck underneath the corners to change the colours. I matted my photo on abundant and beautiful mess

Then using modeling paste ,stencil and paint I added some mixed media to the background to add extra colour.

Then I adhered the backed unicorn and Photo down at the same time. Then I wanted add my title using the chipboard titles but I wanted a pink title so I used some acrylic paint to change the colour and next the die cut ephemera tucking in tags, Tabs and flowers around my photo

Then I added more clusters of flowers around the unicorn and a few butterflies to finish of the page.

I hope you have a enjoyed my inspiration today

Happy crafty friends..xx

Hey crafty friends,

I’m sharing a layout today created for kitaholic kits I’m using products from both November main and embellishment kit instead of white cardstock I’ve chosen a mint colour I think it blends well with the orange, craft and pink. The cut file is from the silhouette design store BOUQUET 297896
I used a stencil and modeling paste on the background to add a little extra texture and colour. I also added some Washi tape to the top and bottom of my layout to bring more mint colour in..
