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

Hello Friends!

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.

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

Making Memories Everyday with Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another layout using Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities and
2Crafty Chipboard. 

Making Memories Everyday


The green and blues in this collection is so pretty. I wanted the green tones to match my photo but the blue softens the page. I have used the Garden Relics paper as my base and roughed up the edges and added some torn bits. 

Next I matt my photo with a plainer paper and added some scallops and circles that I fussy cut from the Curiosity Cabinet paper and some shipping tags from the Forgotten Treasures paper. 



I've used the creative cuts pack in the range for all my flowers and butterflies as well as some mini words.



More flowers and butterflies from the creative cuts pack:



and finished off with the lovely Making Memories Everyday title by 2Crafty Chipboard. I have inked this in a mix of blue and green inks to match my paper. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

The Quiet Observer
49 & Market The Quiet Observer
Kellie Moore

Hello Friends!

It's Kel back today sharing a page with the new collection from 49 & Market called The Quiet Observer. It's a very pastel colour palette with sweet nature icons, I especially love the floral laser cuts.
I have 2 photos of my sweet dog peeking into my craft room.. have a look.


I started my page with one of the patterned papers, ripping some off the top and bottom then layering one of the solids papers behind it to create some texture to my page.

For the photo on the right I have used one of the laser cuts to frame my photo, then added some of the laser florals to the left of it where there was dead space on the left photo.


The 'Quiet Observer' rub on was perfect for the photos of my cheeky boy.


Behind my photos I have layered two of the film strip laser cuts, backed them with paper, then added some rub ons and laser cuts... I then added a circle with a brown pen to my background to 'rein in' my design.

My finishing touches were some gauze and ink splatters!


I hope you have enjoyed my page and I will see you next time!
Kel

It's Time to Bloom with Uniquely Creative Delightful Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have this months Uniquely Creative range, Delighted Curiosities to showcase to you. 

It's Time to Bloom



With its blues and greens this collection is prefect for your outdoors photos, especially this one of my eldest daughter in her blue/green dress. I chose the background woodgrain to match the palm tree in the background and then the floral green paper to match the print in her dress. 



I've matched up these with some cute embellishments from the creative cuts pack - love the little frame which I have used as a base for my mounted flower cluster. I've added some extra flower stems and a super cute butterfly. 

Then it was some fussy cutting from the Curiosity Cabinet paper - the scallop border and the beauty circle.  



I completed my layout with this lovely 2Crafty chipboard title - It's time to Bloom.

Till next week
