For the blog hop I want to share with you this cute layout I made with the Valentines kit, it super cute!

I stitched on the cardstock using the globe cut file as a stencil, I think it turned out great- it took me about 1 and a half hour to complete the stitching.

 

Afterwards, I started embellishing (my favourite part!) using Simple’s stories XO letters and stickers from the sticker sheet.

I added few splatters from my Shimmerz and Heidi Swapp mists for finishing touches.

Hey guys!

I’m back with a new layout 🙂 🙂 I hope you’re all doing great!

For this layout I used the exclusive cut file from hip kit designed by Kim Watson.

I love the fact it’s wings is actually with fringe in the bottom. It make it look

sophisticated and interesting.

 

I used 4 pattern papers from the kits in pink color theme, since the kit had lots of pink shades to choose from I had no problem in finding my papers.

I wanted to blur the edges of the butterfly so I matt my cut file on a vellum, leaving

at least an inch so you’ll be able to see the blur. I love the subtle look of the edge.

 

For the background, I ended up not doing any mix media- even though I really wanted to. I think the cut file in the main piece so I fussy cut a few plus signs from the beautiful pattern paper from Maggie Holmes’ collection ” Gather”. The colors of the plus signs gives the background a soft colorful texture.

For embellishments- I used pieces from Pink Paislee’s collection ” Take me away” collection. I love the bright and happy colors, it matched the theme of the layout!

I added some white thread underneath the photo to add some more interest in the layout and for finishing touches I added red and pink splatters from Shimmerz.

Hey guys!

I’m back with a new layout using my January Hip kit!

I’m loving this kit because it has lots of pretty papers and the “Take me away” ephemera pack.

I thought about doing something different this time, so I pulled out from my craft tools- the fuse tool. I hardly used the tool because I was afraid that I’ll burn my hand accidentally (because it’s me :O).

I manage to use the tool in the layout to make shaker pockets- I filled it with the colorful sequins that came in the kit from Pink paislee’s ” Birthday bash” collection.

And of course, I need a big piece to attach my pockets to so I designed an empherson

cut file using this mint pattern paper from Hip kit. then I stitched the empherson

with orange and red floss.

Afterward I attached 2 cute orange tassels to the cut file.

And we got to my favourite part- embellish! I embellished with bits and pieces from previous kits and made cluster behind the photo.

I used one of the frames from ,Project life, to frame my photo. it looks perfect to me 🙂

I added as well white thread underneath the photo.

For the title I used Amy tan’s foam white sticker. it looks great with the background!

and the second alphas stickers I used are from Crate paper’s collection ” Heart day”.

To end the layout I added white splatters from Mister Hueys’ mists collection.

Hello again!

I want to share another layout I made with my Hip kits! I love the kits, especially the January add- on kit. we got the Heidi swapp acrylic metallic paints in blue and pink.

I love the colors, I think they can go with any layout.

For pattern papers I used Hip kits’ pattern papers that came in the kit. they were in my favourite color so I had to combine them. I used as well the blue acrylic paint on Tim Holtz stencil (heart shape). I mixed the paint with modeling paste of Faber Castell to add texture.

 

I made sure that the paste is dry and then I put on splatters from my Shimmerz- I added mostly shades of blue and dark green to give contrast.

For the fun part, EMBELLISHMENTS! I used embellishments from Pink pislee that came in the kit and from their collection ” Take me away”. And the title I pulled out as well from ephemera pack.

 

I added the cute teal tassel and some purple floss- been loving it lately 😛

To matt my photo I used the frame from the ephemera pack and used aa well white doilie behind it.

 

I added that cute banner to make the layout look a little bit festive.

for finishing touches I added butterflies from rub on pack we got from “1 canoe 2”.

This is the final layout:

Hey guys!

I’m back with a new layout- this is my second my layout for hearts day. I have many pattern papers form previous kits, so I about using this pattern papers and make banners out of them and make sort of a circle of rainbow (it that makes sense, haha).

I used as well embellishments from my stash and from the valentines kit that featured Crate paper’s collection ” Heart day”- the collection is great not only for valentines but also for your everyday scrapbooking 🙂

I added those cute paper clips from Pink paislee’s collection ” Take me away”. They’re so cute!!

Let’s not forget about the cute flairs I used (exclusive from Clique kit)- I didn’t where to use that pony flair, thought that it was perfect for this layout 😛

I added as well in the left corner shipping tag and small embellishments.

To matt y photo I used two simple white doilies and on top of it I used a frame from the project life.

I wanted to add something underneath the photo so I thought about adding a purple floss and white thread. I like the look of it.

 

To finish the layout I added black splatters.
