The Scrappery CT - 'magic'

Good morning beautiful creative people, Lydia back finally to share another project. It's been a long time! It's been a crazy start to the year and getting used to grade 12 and all that it has install for me this year, including the huge workload that has taken weeks to get used to. But I am finally on top and ready to get fully organised and start creating and sharing again.

What better way to start sharing again with the brand new 'Olivia' kits. These kits are so sunning filled with the beautiful pastel colours of the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection 'More Than Words'.

So today I am sharing my first creation of a 12x12 layout using these kits.

 

I always find it so easy to create using colours and elements that I love. So working with the pinks, blues and butterflies this layout came together quite quick.

 

For this layout I did go for a more minimalistic style using the vellum black and white florals with the pops of pinks and corals from the butterflies. I also love the contrast from the greys to the bold black of those gorgeous Thickers. 

 

 

Of course I had to add some dimension using these KaiserCraft florals as a cluster under the photo.

 

 

On the opposite bottom side of the image to the KiaserCraft florals, I added a few pieces of ephemera from the ephemera pack as well as a ever beautiful flair from the collection. I also added some enamel dots/hearts around the whole layout too.

 

 

Over the whole layout are fussy cut butterflies from one of the 12x12 papers. I paired the butterflies with some of the vellum florals. I love how they are give the feeling that they are fling around the page.

 

 

 

And that is my first project using these kits. My fingers are crossed that you all receive your kits very soon to be able to start creating with such beautiful products.

 

Have a great Sunday.

The Scrappery CT - 'me.'

Hello Scrappery friends, Lydia here finally back sharing for 2018. 2018 is going to be a big year, as I enter my final year of schooling in Grade 12 and getting ready for my future which will defiantly still include creating.

I'm so excited to have started the year with the gorgeous 'Willow' Kits to create with. I'm so in love with all the bright colours in the kits featuring the Crate Paper collection 'Cool Vibes'. So to start off the year I'm sharing a 12x12 traditional layout using the 'Willow' kits.

 

 

Now when I first opened my kits my eye was caught on the bright colours but also the little ampersands that I found in the ephemera pack which made me cut some out of the patterned papers in the TSK  as the made feature of the layout. I also hand stitched around a few of the ampersand which you will see in some of the close up images.

 

 

I absolutely love the colours in these kits, their just sooooo me!!

This layout was ended up turning into a page about me and just being and loving  myself hence why I used the shiny gold glitter Thickers which can be found the 'Willow' PLK.

 

 

I am all about self love so when  saw this ephemera piece I fell in love with it and knew I had to use it with a photo of myself. In this image you can also see one of the ampersands that I hand stitched around.

 

 

Now you all know I love my clustes of embellishments so I did them next two 3-4 ampersands using little pieces from the ephemera pack as well as in one of the clusters using one of the beautiful charms which had a cactus on it. I than finished the clusters with a few little rhinestones.

 

 

 

I did add a few little stamped sentiments using the stamp set from the 'Cool Vibes' collection.

 

 

 

I hope you have all received your 'Willow' kits by now and are enjoying creating with them as much I have been. Make sure to be sharing your creations using all the kits over on the Facebook Group too.

 

 

I hope you all have a lovely week adhered and I will be back soon with another project.

Helmar Design Team - Gold Featured on a Card

Hello my fellow Helmar fans. Lydia back to share a fun card that features GOLD!! Who doesn't love gold?  I had fun making this card because I got to try out some gold leaf.

 

 

 

So for this card I use:

• Helmar Craft Glue
• Plain card and envelope
• Gold Leaf
• Scrapbooking paper scraps
• Embellishments

 

 First things first; the gold leaf. All I did was put a little bit of Helmar Craft Glue in places where I wanted to put the leaf. And very carefully place some gold leaf in those spots with glue and press it down.

 

 

 

And then I just used some left over scrapbooking paper to layer up in front of a paper doily. I then used some chipboard embellishments and finished the card with a few gold splatters which don't quite show up in the photos.

 

And here are some close ups of my card featuring gold. I love hw it turned out and the colours that I used worked so well with the gold.

 

 

 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are able to get some creative time in.

The Scrappery CT - "Dream"

It's Sunday, which means another layout from me. Today I am using the new "Nigella" kits again which as I have mentioned before I am in love with.

So here is this weeks layout. This weeks layout I feature the gorgeous die cut 12x12 sheet this is in the kit. Now this has a bright mint colour ide and the white side, I personally liked the white on white look.

 

 

I love, love these Pink Paislee "Moonstruck" cork words and shapes, so I decided to use the dream as my title. And I love how these cork embellishments have gold glitter in them too. I also added a little puffy sticker under the title also.

 

 

 

Now you all know I love my little clusters. I used some of the "Moonstruck" rub-on's and put them on some white cardstock and fussy cut them out so that they had more of a 3D look. I also added some of the beautiful gold sequins.

 

 

With this die cut 12x12 piece defiantly wanted to back the butterflies with some of the patterned paper. I love how the page just came together once I had backed some of the butterflies.

 

 

 

And last but not least another cluster up on the left hand side with a little tab, puffy sticker and some gold sequins.

 

 

I hope you have all started/have your new kits and be sure to share what you create over in the Facebook group.

Have a wonderful week ahead.

The Scrappery CT- "Myself & I"

Happy Sunday Scrappery friends. I hope you are all hopefully having a creative day. So today I am back to share another layout using the new "Nigella" December kits. Now I have to say this would have to be my favourite kits so far because I absolutely LOVE these kits and the layouts I am producing with them.

Here is my layout.

 

 

I love these kits so much that I have been using all photos of me on my layouts as these colours in the kits are just so me. I did add my own thickers from my stash to add a bit of with the gold glitter.

 

 

I finally got my little mixed media groove on and added some of the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Silver Metallic Texture Paste which comes in the brand new TCK "The Colour Kit. Now I am not one for silver and gold together but I love how this added a nice feature to the layout with the bit of gold also.

 

 

Now these gold paperclips are to die for. I think I have used one on every layout. But I though it would be a cute feature to add it to look like it is holding that gorgeous "Moonstruck" collection puffy sticker to my photo and photo layers. I also added some of the washi tape strips as well as some of the Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

 

 

I added some gold rub-on stars also from the kits to add a little something to the layout.

 

 

This tiny embellishment cluster at the bottom of the layout is using the beautiful washi tape shapes. I love how translucent they are and how soft they look on he layout.

 

 

And to finish it off I add a cluster at the bottom of the page with some washi stickers and a rub-on. Also added a mini puffy sticker and some more of the Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

 

 

I hope you love this layout as much as I do and make sure to share your creations using the "Nigella" kits over on the Scrappery FB group.

The Scrappery CT - "Carpe Diem"

Hey everyone Lydia here to share my first creation using the new December 'Nigella' kits.

I am so excited to have received my new kits this week to sharing off the creating for 2017.

With these kits came the brand new TCK 'The Colour Kit' which is perfect for all you mixed media fans. In the projects I will be sharing in the next few weeks I will e using the TSK, BPK and the TCK.

 

 

Here is my first creation. I am so in love with these kits which are full to the brim with Pink Paislee "Moonstruck" collection.

What not to title my layout "Carpe Diem" to seize the day. Also how cute is that gold bow?

Now I have to admit when the scrapbooking companies started bringing out the washi booklets/sheets I wasn't too fussy, but now I love them. You get s many different little washi strips and shapes and they are perfect for all projects.

How could I not add more of the shiny gold to this layout especially this gold leaf lace which is also  the kit as well as those gorgeous delicate paper doilies.

Now I can't remember the last time I used a rub-on but it felt so good to use one. That beautiful floral is from the "Moonstruck" rub-on pack which is in the BPK. I also added a few gold and black sequins to finish the page off a bit.

 

And I added more gold..... This beautiful gold Kaisermist which is included in the new TCK was perfect for this layout. Also did a little cluster up in the top left corner to bring the page together.

That my scrappy friend is the first layout for you. I can't wait to hear when you ll start to receive your kits and get creating with them.

The Scrappery CT - "Hello 15"

Lydia back today to start the year off with another layout.

This layout is a bit belated as this is about me turning 15 which was back in September, but I had to document it and I love how this collection works perfectly with birthdays an celebrations.

 

 

As I start to get low on my kits I knew I wanted to do a birthday layout using them. I didn't use many embellishments as I wanted the big cake in the background to be the main focus. I did however do a few small clusters. 

 

 

Here is on of the clusters which I did with the title "Hello 15".

 

 

Now when I first saw these wood veneer candles I had no idea how I was going to use them, but what a perfect way to use them on the top of the cake. I really love this feature of the layout.

 

 

And lastly another cluster in the top corner.

 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful first day of 2017 and maybe even get in some scraping.

12x12 Layout - "Beautiful"

Morning beautiful creatives, How your morning going.

I am currently working through my list of blog duties and things I need to do for my creative side, but I am here this morning to share another 12x12 traditional layout using the Maggie Holmes "Bloom" collection again. I LOVE this collection.

Here is the layout.

I did something different with is layout and decided to do a little bit of sewing and I love the texture the sewing gave the layout.

The Studio 1440 "Use Your Words" were the perfect colour for this collection and I love how thy worked on this layout.

This wood veneer "Beautiful" is fro one of our cheap shops here in Australia and I painted it with Heidi Swapp Gold "Colour Shine".

And lastly I punched a few little hearts and added them like confetti and sewn thought the middle of the bigger hearts.

 

Hope you enjoyed this layout. I am now off to take photo of some Project Life layouts, so be sure to keep your eyes out for them.
