Bloom And Grow Scrapbook Page Kit Layout

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a layout I created for my Scrapyland DT. It is no secret that many in the United States have been going through an Arctic Blast. While I was tempted to do a layout showcasing the cold, I really wanted to do something colorful and cheerful.

Here is a view of my layout. I used patterned paper from the Die Cuts With A View Citrus Stack. All of the cuts with the exception of the bear came from the Wildflower Digital Design Portfolio CD for your Silhouette Cameo.

Here is a closer look at the little bear. Last week I shared how I created this bear from my silhouette cameo using ovals as well as the edit points tool and a shape from the Block Party Design Portfolio CD. You can check that post out HERE.

Here is a closer look at the bloom title. Just one of the many pre-made titles on the CD.

Here is a closer look at some of the pretty flowers. Again all of the shapes are from the Wildflower CD.

Lastly, here is a closer look at the “Grow” title. I created the banners by simply using a square shape in my Cameo software and then pulling out one of the sides in half.

I used the following products to complete this project

Silhouette Cameo	Wildflower Design Portfolio	DCWV Citrus Stack
Pebbles Basic Chalks	Pebbles Pastel Chalks	Pebbles Earth Tone Chalks
Enchantment Ink Pad Set	Whimsy Ink Pad Set	Adventure Ink Pad Set
Basic Ink Pad Set	Tombow Adhesive Runner	Foam Adhesive Tape
Chalk Marker	Memory Glue Dots	Chisel Tip Glue Pen

Well, I hope you are inspired to start working on those celebration memories. I did make these this layout into a page kit that can be purchased at page-kits.com. I only made a limited quantity of each, so be sure to get them while you can.

DCWV Citrus Stack-Spellbinders Die Cut Frame Layout

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a simple but pretty layout I created using some fabulous dies from Scrapyland.com. Here is my layout. I used some beautiful DCWV Citrus Stack paper and some cardstock.

The pretty “frame” was created by using the Spellbinders D-Lites Corner Flourish. I cut it out 16 times and then layered them on some slate blue cardstock to create the “frame”.

I then cut out 25 white flowers from the Momenta Flower Die set and then layered them to create the flowers. Finally I cut out the Poppy Stamps Meadow Leaf die 10 times and added the lovely leafy sprigs to the layout. I didn’t want to add too much more as I wanted the layout to look very clean and understated. That way my pretty niece Taylor would shine.

Here’s How I made the flowers

I started by layering a set of 5 flowers onto each other. I staggered the layers so the petals would “alternate”.

Next, I inked the edges of the crisp white with my Aqua Cat’s Eye Ink Pad

Then I began to curl the petals. I used a crochet needle I had on hand, but anything you have that has a thinner barrel would work well. I curled the petals Inward and layered them onto each other. The center petals got curled more deeply to give the flower some shape.

Once I curled all the petals upward. I inked the edges again so the ink would be on both sides of the petal.

I Used the Following Products To Create This Project.
All Of These Items Can Be Purchased At Scrapyland.com

Spellbinders D-Lites Corner Flourish Die Set	Momenta Mixed Flowers Die Set	Poppy Stamps-Meadow Leaf Die
DCWV Citrus Stack	Cat’s Eye Aqua Pigment Ink Pad.

DCWV Citrus Stack-Doodlecharms Cricut Crow Piecings Layout

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a layout I created with the Doodlecharms cartridge and some great DCWV Citrus Stack Paper.

Here is a look at my entire two page layout. All the cuts were from the Doodlecharms Cartridge. This includes the super cute little crow paper piecings I created. The letters are from the Art Philosophy cartridge. All of the pretty, patterned paper is from the DCWV Citrus Stack. I love that these paper would work for many different types of layouts and projects.

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow sitting on top of a photo mat holding his cornstalk. Next to him is a basket full of harvest goodies. All of these were cut with the Doodlecharms Cartridge and my Expression. No Gypsy, Design Studio or Craft Room. I used some Pebbles Basic Chalks for the white around the crow’s pieces as well as some Frost White Pigment Ink. I used Maroon Chalk Ink for the apples, Cocoa for the basket, Orange for the Pumpkins. Warm Green for the leaves and stalks. Butterscotch for the corn, beaks, feet and hay bale. I also used my Copic E59 marker to color the apple and pumpkin stems. I decided to do that as opposed to cutting out all of the stems separately in brown paper…Waste not, want not Smile

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow topper.

Unplugged Spellbinders Box N’ Card Set

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a box n’ card set I created with Spellbinders Dies and some Quickutz dies. I call these projects “Unplugged” as I did not use any of my “electronic” die cutting machines. For the pretty patterned paper, I used the DCWV Citrus Stack. Here’s a look at my completed set.

Here is a closer look at my completed box. I used the spellbinders Square Petal Top Box for the base and the top. I then created the box middle by scoring some paper and then using my Spellbinders Beaded Ovals dies along with some Spellbinders classic Ovals Dies to cut out the windows.

Here is a closer look at one of the flowers. I used a couple of retired Quickutz dies. I inked them with warm green cat’s eye chalk ink and cranberry cat’s eye pigment ink. I also added some Gold Lame Smooch Ink to the large flower petals. Unfortunately, the picture doesn’t show that too well.

To create the box body, you will need a piece of paper that is 8.25 x 11. Really you just need to trim 1/8” off the 8.5” side to fit into the grand calibur.

Place your paper on your scoring tool 11” lengthwise.
You will score your paper at 2 5/8 “, 5 1/4”, 7 7/8” and 10.5”

After scoring your paper. You will need to draw a line across the bottom at 2 1/8”. You can use a pencil as this mark is simply a guide where to line up your die for the window.

Run your paper through the machine four times. Each time be sure to line your die up along the line as well as in the center of each panel.

Cut your patterned paper into four strips of 2.5 x 8.25. Next mark a line 2 1/8” from one edge. Once again, center your oval die and run it through your machine. Do this for all four panels.

Next, I inked the edge of each panel and added each papered panel to the front of each side.

Next, I added my black beaded oval dies covers.

Next, I added some transparency to the backs of each panel. This will keep whatever treats I put in the box safely in.

Next I put some adhesive on the inside edges of the box as well as along the bottom of the panels and secured the bottom.

After lightly inking the edges of the petals, I glued the flowers together and rotated each layer slightly. Here’s a shot of the three flower base petals. This shot shows the Gold lame smooch ink on the petals.

Next I added the smaller flowers and once the adhesive was dry, I curled the petals.

Here’s a look at just the card. It is a standard A2 size. Again, the patterned paper is from the DCWV Citrus Stack. I once again used the Spellbinders Beaded Ovals dies to create the frames. I added some Bisque Liquid pearls to create the little pearl drops and then in the centers of the flowers, I added some pearls accents.
