Neat and Crafty: Cocovanilla Studio

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing layout I created using Cocoa vanilla studio 'Tis the season

And using a photo of our Christmas tree this year

I wanted to use a coloured bit of cardstock instead of white it step out of my comfort zone

Adding bits of colour using the collection patterned paper as a border and behind my cut file cuts

I used die cuts from the ephemeral pack for my title

Adding the wood bits o the tops of my Christmas baubles

And machine stitching, cotton thread and little flowers

You can get the Christmas baubles fro the holly jolly cut file set

you can get them here

I had to change our Christmas tree this year

so just wouldn't run into the branches and poke his eyes out

I also add some die cut stars scattered across my layout with flicks of white mist

Today I'm sharing a layout using some of the papers and ephemera from the June crop kit

As I don't have boys, and as you can see I found this photo of my girls that I took ages ago they where on holidays and we brought them a mask making kit from the 2 dollar shop after they had made their masks they wanted a photo ...

I started the layout with white cardstock and then cutting 2 strips of patterned paper for the top and bottom of my layout using that bold pattern

I used the ephemera around the photo to give it more of a layered look

And I used some of the 3x4 cut a part pattern paper for the bubble design behind my title

That's from the ephemera pack I added double sided foam tape to the back to pop it up

I fussy cut the boom! From one of the 3x4 cut aparts and popped it up on double sided foam tape

Hi..

Today on the sassy blog I'm sharing another Christmas themed project

With my layout this week I chose to use lots of blues tones with pops of colour

from the tis the season collection from cocovanilla studio.

I went with a simple design with lots of white space that I like

I used strips of patterned paper for bold colour at the top and bottom of my layout and I ended up cutting up one of the 3x4 cut apart cards as my title.

And I used a die to cut the stars to use both behind my photo and to decorate my page

I also added a few die cuts from the ephemera pack along with some other embellishments from the collection

So pop on over and check out the love Christmas collection by Cocovanilla

Hi..

Today I'm sharing a quick easy to make Christmas card

Using the lovey Christmas collection from Cocovanilla studio

I cut my background patterned paper to size

just so I had a bit of a border around the edge of my card

And machine stitched around the edges

Then adhered it to my card base

Next I cut a strip of patterned paper and adhered it across the middle of my card

Then I die cut a scallop oval and fussy cut one of the 3 x4 cut outs and stuck it in the middle of my die cut scallop oval and added pop dots behind

Then I die cut some holly using a couture creations die

and adhered to the edge of the oval and a flair and added a few die cuts from the die cut pack and a few rhinestones

Pop on over to the sassy store and check out the lovely collection from Cocovanilla studio

They sure are super lovely....

Hi..

Happy Sassy Thursday..

Today I'm sharing a cute little mini album that is super easy to make

Using cardstock and some beautiful Cocovanilla studio Tis the season collection

Using a mitten cut file that I found while searching Pinterest..

I started off by cutting out 4 mittens in white cardstock with my cameo

Then I cut 4 more mittens just a bit smaller to layer over each of the mitten shapes

but I only used 3 of the white cardstock cuts and with the 4th I cut the top off it so I could emboss it and add pop dot behind it to give it dimension

Next I punched a hole in the top left hand corner to pop the ring through and I was ready to add my photos and embellishments

I added a photo of each of my daughters with the gift they wanted most for Christmas

And here is another look at the mini mitten album spread out

I hope it inspires you to have some fun playing.. Don't forget to check out the fun Christmas collection from Cocovanilla studio in the sassy store

Hi..
happy Sassy Thursday!!

Today I'm sharing a Christmas layout and video

using the Cocovanilla studio collection Tis the season

I love how the colours in this collection are not over powering each other they flow together with the lighter tones. So with my layout I wanted the design to be straight down the middle, with white space on each side...

I hope you enjoy my video layout process
(first time doing voice over so be kind :)
