Me and You Layout

Hi everyone, Kim here to share a new layout with you! I love using little journal cards and bits and pieces of paper to create my layouts. These little cards from the Victoria park and Handmade collections are just right for layering and creating a collage. They have some really great little designs on them as well. 

For this layout I chose to combine some of the cards with Green elements on them since green is a close runner up to being my favorite color! They are also a nice way to add a bit of a graphic element to your layout. 

Another element I wanted to add to my layout was a hand painted banner. I first cut my watercolor paper into different sized strips and then painted each one a different ombre shade of green to greenish blue and pink. I snipped the ends to create little banners and then sewed them together using ordinary sewing thread. 

I love the layered and messy effect of the sewn banner. To add a little more interest I backed a few of the banners with different pieces of patterned paper. 

This is a very simple way to create a layout with just a few elements. Thanks for stopping by today for a little inspiration! Have a great week everyone!

Blog Hop Day 4...

Happy Thursday! I hope you have been enjoying our projects this week and seeing how we've been using our products with Epiphany Crafts and Glue Arts. The three are a super combination together!

I'm so excited to share with you more fabulous cards today from Danielle, Julia and Kim.

First up today Danielle Flanders. Danielle is the Queen of Cards and I just ADORE how she has taken our Index Journal Cards and created them into a Handmade Card .

I love the Epiphany Crafts Bubble Oval she's used to embellish our the floral stamp from our Victoria Park Collection onto side of the card.



Our ABC Stickers are perfect to spell out any size title or message you want to share on the outside or inside of your card.






Danielle's cards are a perfect example of how versatile our Index Journal Cards are to use and not just for journaling!



Kim has created her card using our Bag of Bits and Index Journal Cards. She adhered her "Bits" using the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro, 3/8” Raisen’s Adhesive Squares AND U CUT IT 1/8” Foam Adhesive.

She also embellished the card with the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool & Accessories Bubble Caps Round 14.





Next up is Lisa Day using our Buttercup Collection.



Lisa used the Glue Arts Raisens on the back to really make her Bag of Bits Banner's pop!



And last but not least are Julia's two beautiful cards. Here she's used the Index Journal Cards as an embellishment on the outside of the card and adorned it with the Epiphany Crafts Accessory.



Our Bag of Bits make is a snap to make a card in no time at all.

Happy tuesday!

Hello everyone, this is Kim here today to share a light and airy layout featuring a little of double dutch and the handmade collections. All of the collections have a little something for everyone. Personally I love polka dots. Just something about them reminds me of a party with big balloons and confetti!

On this layout I was struck by the great polka dot paper in the double dutch line and used it as the main focus of my page. I like to play with the white space on a page so I used several blocks in different areas and stapled them down using my tiny attacher.

I love dressing up my pages with florals of all kinds and can never seem to complete a layout without them. Using my leaf punch I punched several leaves out of one of my papers and formed them around several of my patterned blocks.

To complete the page I made a little watercolor banner from one of the collection stamps and adhered it directly below my photo. Just a few dabs onto each part of the banner to create a sort of ombre effect was all I needed.

(Supplies Used: Lily Bee Double Dutch "lemonade" Patterned Paper, handmade "linen" paper, Buttercup "Queen bee" paper, Double Dutch Stamp set, and Martha Stewart leaf Punch)

Thanks for stopping by today for a little inspiration!

Take Care!

Kim

It's so much fun to see three designers use the same products, and come up with such different projects. Love them all! And it's extra fun to see Lisa using them in her Project Life. Our Index Journaling Cards and the smaller patterns in the 6x6 Tiny Tablets are perfect for those little pockets.
