Happy Halloween with Prima Made of Magic by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

As Halloween approaches I was inspired to create some extra decor and have created this coffin using a wooden store bought coffin, some 2Crafty Chipboard and the super cute and spooky Prima Made of Magic collection:


 👻Happy Halloween 👻




To start I have painted the wooden coffin in black paint then to the front sprayed some glimmer spray.  Next I have painted my 2Crafty Chipboard spider webs in white paint and glued them to the front of the coffin. 



I have used the Prima Made of Magic ephemera and Witching Hour blooms to embellish. 

Next I moved on to the inside. I painted this black aswell. Then I have used the coffin and made a templated to cut out my main papers for the back, then some complimentary papers to do the sides of the coffin 



I fussy cut this little witch from the elements paper in the 12x12 paper pack and then made her stand up by using some scrap paper, to created a 3D effect. 



The ghost on the ladder is from the ephemera pack, I have fussy cut the holes in the ladder so they weren't filled white and mounted the ghost with some cardboard to give him some extra dimension. I added an ephemera framed pic to the side of the coffin, then embellished the top of the bookshelf background with ephemera and flowers. 




On the other side of the coffin I added a fussy cut clock with some flowers and the cute ephemera ghost with spooky stories - both mounted for dimension. On the other side I added a chipboard frame from the Chipboard Stickers set I added some glitter to my older black flowers that I found in my stash and some cobwebs to the corners using the "spider web" you find in dollar stores. 




I fussy cut  the grandfather clock and mounted it in front of the clock that was on the paper as I wanted the 3D effect. To this I added the ephemera broom and pumpkin. Then I added some "spider webs" and the cute ephemera bat. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Christmas Cards
49 & Market Jolly Jingles
Kellie Moore

Hello Friends!
Its Kel here today and I am sharing something different today.
 Christmas Cards!!

I have just received the new Xmas collection from 49 & Market called Jolly Jingles. 

This collection has a typical green and red colour palette with some very cute
embellishments...the reindeers are my favourite and I featured them on my first card...have a look.


These cards were so easy to put together, using a mix of the laser cuts, chipboard,
ephemera and rub ons. 

This is the second card.


And the third card, just layering up the different pieces and they were done.


Are you making Christmas cards this year?
 
Have a look at this collection if you are, you won't have any trouble getting them done quickly.

See you next time
Kel

Wild at Heart with Simple Stories Simply Vintage Sand and Sea collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A layout using Simple Stories Vintage Sand and Paper, some Carta Bella Flower Shoppe and 2Crafty Chipboard:

Wild at Heart


I love this collection and eventhough technically a beach themed collection this floral paper was my favourite so I have used this and teamed it up with a matching green floral paper which I found in the Carta Bella Flower Shoppe collection. 



I've picked the neutral white, cream flowers out of the Sand and Sea collection and added a doily and twine for texture.  To embellish I have used the Sand Sea cardstock stickers and trimmed some of the words to remove any beachy references and added a smattering of the hearts. 




I've finished the page off with this 2Crafty Chipboard title - Wild at Heart which I have simply painted white. 



Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

A Day at the Zoo with Bella Blvd Zoo Day by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another zoo page to share with you all using the fun and super cute Zoo Day collection by Bella Blvd:

A Day at the Zoo



For this layout I wanted to use all the fun scallops on the sticker sheet as part of my design, so I started with some white cardstock then matted my photo in green to match my top and then some zoo patterned paper before adding all the scallops. I added the check print border to the white cardstock to tie it together. 



I love these super cute animal embellishments and made a cute little scene on either side of the photo, then added some "zoo" words from the sticker sheet. 


Then I finished off the page with these fabulous puffy alpha stickers by Bella Blvd - so many fun colours in these, I chose the yellow to match the Zoo sign. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Game On
49 & Market Level Up
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!
Its Kel here sharing a page using the 49 & Market Level Up collection.

I found these two photos from a long time ago of my twin boys go-karting so I knew
this collection was going to be perfect.

I chose one of the patterned papers to use as my background, then used another paper
 to cut a large circle for my photos to sit on, using several papers to layer up under my photos.


I really wanted to get the large go kart laser cut on my page, so I added it to the bottom of
my page with the 'limitless' chipboard piece layered on top with some of the
 rubons poking out from underneath.


I added a mix of the die cuts, laser cuts and rubons around my photos to finish off my page.


The add on embellishments in this collection are so fun and great for adding extra
finishes to the page.


The Laser Cut pieces are so intricate and detailed.


I hope you are inspired to create!
See you next time!
Kel
