When the day is done, by Amanda H

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a page I created using the Pink Paislee Indigo and Ivy collection.

 It is a great range full of blues and neutrals - I love it!

I started this page with the No 4 paper in the range, as the base. Behind the 2 photos I

 created a panel of patterned papers.

 I used the 6x6 paper pad and cut and tore strips of the papers. I used more paper

 from the 6x6 paper pad to mount the photo.

The page was finished with text, stickers and diecuts, which you can see in these close ups.

For the title, I combined Indigo and Ivy Thickers with some Websters alpha stickers.

In the corners, I combined stickers from the range, with chipboard diecuts.

It was fun to capture this moment of me and team finishing work for the day! The colours in this range were perfect!

Thanks for looking,

Amanda.

Amazing, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all,

Welcome to the last day of July! 

And today I am sharing a double page of my middle daughter and our dog, Lulu.

 I again used the Pink Paislee: Indigo and Ivy collection.

  This time I used the soft pinks & greens and mustard & golds in the range.

I started this layout with two sheets of White cardstock.
Then I created a soft mixed media background.

Step one was using white gesso through the Kaisercraft Mini template - Foliage design. 

Step two was to create a soft pink water wash effect. I did this using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Abandoned Coral which I pressed onto some plastic and mixed with water and painted onto the layout. 

Finally, step 3 was to add some gold splatters using Bling Shimmer Spray.

Let's look at more of the page and some close ups to see how I used Indigo and Ivy papers and embellishments.

First side of the layout:

The papers I used are from the 6x6 paper pad. I laid the 6x6 papers to make a panel across the entire double page.

Alongside the left side of the photo, I layered stickers and acetate diecuts and words from the Indigo and Ivy collection.

Second side of the layout:

Here you are see that I mounted the collection of smaller photos in a soft pink paper, also taken from the 6x6 paper pad.

More stickers and diecuts are layered in this cluster.

In this close up, you can see some of the detail of the mixed media background.

Thanks for looking! I was fun to do a double page - it had been a long time! LOL!

Enjoy Life by Amanda Hartmann

Hi AAS fans!

I love the new collection from Pink Paislee - Indigo and Ivy - an awesome mix of colours, with touches of gold. This range will be back in store soon. Today's layout features the teals and blues and of course, I brought in the gold!

To create my page I started with some white cardstock and a single sheet of paper from the Indigo and Ivy collection. 

I wanted to use multiple photos in this layout of my daughter in the tree. For each photo, I mounted them on a range of papers from Indigo and Ivy 6x6 paper pad, and some white cardstock.

Behind the photos, I cut some 6x6 papers in half and spread them across this layout. I was able to hide any paper joins by laying the photos over them.

Now let's look at the close ups to see how I embellished the page with more things from the Indigo and Ivy collection, as well as some 2 Crafty chipboard.

Around the photo I used a 2Crafty chipboard Pointed Doily Frame, which I embossed in gold, to bring more gold to the page.

I added stickers, chipboard and acetate words from different packs in the Indigo and Ivy collection. I layered these together in clusters throughout the page.

I added square and rectangular stickers off each side of the photos, and combined with a flower and/or heart sticker.

And I finished the page with some gold splatters.

Thanks for looking today. Next week I will have a different page with the same collection!

"Love story", by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all,

Welcome to another Wednesday share day from me! I have combined some elements from a few collections and added some mixed media. The hero's of the page, are the wonderful floral diecuts from the Pink Paislee Horizon collection.

For the base I layered Kaisercraft- Paisley Days - "Smiles" wood grain paper on some white cardstock. I cut the bottom border strip from the Kaisercraft paper and used this across the page too.

At the top edge of the page, I added some stencilling: using white gesso through the Kaisercraft Mandela Template. Next, some colour splatters. For this I used: Distress Stain in Cracker Pistachio and Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Just Blue. I also splattered more white gesso.

Once this was dry, I added the photo and built up the layers of those beautiful Pink Paislee Horizon die cut flowers.

Additional stickers added to the page are some stars and word stickers from: Jillibean Soup: Rainbow Roux Label stickers, as well as some Wishing Bubbles in Taffy.

 

For the title, I used a lovely 2Crafty chipboard piece. A perfect title for this anniversary photo. I inked and added stain to the chipboard before finishing with dimensional magic. For the "19", I used black sticker numbers from Jillibean Soup: Rainbow Roux Label stickers set.

That's my page.... I do love how the colour combinations came together on this page!

Thank you for looking today!

4 shaker cards, by Amanda H

Hi everyone,   I am not really a card maker, but recently I tried a very simple shaker card technique and now I am hooked. Combine this with my love of using up all those paper scraps I diligently save, that's how I came up with today's project. I have so many beautiful paper scraps and stickers left over from some awesome ranges in store; they were perfect for these 4 cards.  

For all 4 cards, I started with a white cardstock base. Then I cut a square of patterned paper and layered a square of vellum on top. I machine stitched these squares together, leaving the top open. Then I loaded sequins into the pocket and stitched the top up. Lastly I embellished with some strips of patterned paper and some stickers. I love shaking these cards around, the noise and seeing the shiny sequins; it really does add a simple touch to a card.

Below is all the details for the 4 cards I created.

Card 1: Thinking of you

 Paper range: Photo Play: Thinking of You

 So many perfect sentiments and colours for card making in this range. I love that the vellum overlay softens the patterned paper I had chosen. And the stickers in the range were ideal to finish this card. I went with yellow, orange and green sequins in the shaker pocket.

Papers used: Photo Play - Thinking of You Paper - Be Brave;

Photo Play - Thinking of You Paper - Be Strong

Stickers used: Photo Play - Thinking of You Element Sticker Sheet;

CV - Make A Wish Accessory Stickers

Card 2: "Hey"

 Paper range: Pink Paislee Wild Child

I combined a pink patterned paper from the range with some brights and blues. I added puffy stickers, chipboard stickers and a CVS word sticker. And how cool does the Jillibean Soup felt flower look? I went with pink, blue and cream sequins in the shaker pocket.

Papers used: Pink Paislee - Wild Child Paper - 04;

Pink Paislee - Wild Child Paper - 03.

Stickers used: Pink Paislee - Wild Child Puffy Stickers - Girl;

Pink Paislee - Wild Child Thickers - Girl Power;

CV - Bohemian Dream Accessory Sticker Sheet

Flower: Jillibean Soup - Mix The Media Felt Flowers - Touch of Teal

Card 3: "Happy Together"

Paper range: Simple Stories: Love & Adore 

I love the patterned paper square I started with from the range and a collection of layered stickers was a simple and easy way to finish the card. I went with black, white and pink sequins in the shaker pocket.

Paper used: SS - Love & Adore Paper - Head over Heels

Stickers used: SS - Love & Adore Combo Cardstock Stickers

 Card 4: "Live in the moment"

Paper range: Pinkfresh Studios: Escape the Ordinary

This range is great for a more masculine card and I combined papers and stickers in the range for a simple card. I went with blue, green and orange sequins in the shaker pocket. 

  Papers used: Pinkfresh - Escape the Ordinary Paper - Observe; Pinkfresh - Escape the Ordinary Paper - Dare Stickers used: Pinkfresh - Escape the Ordinary Puffy Stickers; CV - Bohemian Dream Accessory Sticker Sheet     That's all from me today! I hope it inspires you to pull out some paper scraps from your stash and make some shaker cards!   Amanda  

   

You are my Sunshine with Pink Paislee Wild Child by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Mixing it up this month, this time with some Pink Paislee Wild Child!  This is a fun and colourful collection, great for all those busy kid photos. 
You are my Sunshine

This collection has a mix of colours & patterns to suit kids of any age! I've chosen to focus on the floral, a pink and a mint green, using the heart pattern as my background. I've chosen the blue and the mustard from the floral to add a few more colours to my page and layered these under my photo. 

After layering my papers I have used the ephemera to embellish my layout. I love the mix of quotes in this pack. 

I've used different embellishments - flair and enamel flowers that compliment the colour scheme to finish off my page. The ephemera makes for great titles too! I added a little foam heart to make the title stand out a little more. 

Thanks for stopping by Till next week

Best Friends with Crate Paper Good Vibes by Fiona Johnstone

Hi Everyone
This week I am creating with the bright and fun collection - Crate Paper Good Vibes.  I adore bright colours and this range is fabulous!
My layout: Best Friends

Loving the bright colours in this collection, and went with a neutral kraft background to highlight the colours. I've used several of the patterned papers to create my paper layers. I then cut out the shipping tags from the So Chill paper, then created my own tag from a 3x4 piece on the paper. 

I've used the puffy stickers and the chipboard stickers from the Crate Paper Good Vibes collection to embellish my page. I've finished it off with an assortment of other embellishments from my stash (see product list). 

Another close -up

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week
