Frame clusters

 


I was on an absolute roll with making swaps last month. I actually put these together at the same time as the Pocket Windows cause I wanted to use the same collections.

Frames with Clusters

Vintage Coastal - Simple Stories
White Christmas - Kaisercraft
Happy Place - Asuka
I honestly believe I could sit here all day and put these together. It was very relaxing and since the collections all matched, I didn’t have to put too much thought into coordination. lol.






Let me know what you think!

Feminine Slimline card

 


Slimline Feminine Card


First off, I'm going to send a special shout out and thanks to Maureen who jumped in and volunteered to be my swap partner for this swap. I was making this card during a zoom crop, only to realise that I had folded it the wrong way and was not quite up to the correct size specs. Maureen was so lovely and said she'd partner up with me instead of me having to redo the card.

I absolutely LOVED putting this card together.. It just kind of keep growing and evolving as I went along.

I used the Romantic Journal collection from Stamperia.
then add a couple of frames, flowers and that feather just makes it all seem so lush! The bling key and glass butterfly to make it sparkle too.

Window Pockets with a Twist


Window Pockets with a twist.

How adorable are these!!
The pockets have a window cut out. I haven’t seen these before, and had so much fun putting them together.
You can add acetate or vellum over the window if needed, but I didn’t need to.
I used three different collections for these projects.
Vintage Coastal - Simple Stories
White Christmas - Kaisercraft
Happy Place - Asuka
Each pocket has their own tag included with a couple of small pieces I added in, incase the swap partner would like to use these in their future projects.

Card topper

 


Card Topper - All about books


This one had me on the shelf for a little while.
I knew I wanted to join in, but I couldn't remember if I still had the required paper and pieces still in my stash or if I had thrown it all out during the cull at the start of the year. lol ...

Thankfully I actually had HEAPS that would suit and landed on this one. With a Harry Potter theme, I used the colour cuts from Scrapbook Fantasies and cute paper backing from a genuine HP set.

This was so much fun to finally put together.
What do you think of the library scene I tried to set here with Hedwig, the writing quills and the lantern Harry uses to sneak around under his cloak.

Aussie themed card

 


Aussie themed


I honestly couldn’t decide which Animal fussy cut I wanted to use, so ended up creating a pocket and slid the Emu & Koala in as design elements. The focus of the Crocodile allowed me to make a square 5” card for something a bit different. Basic, but different.
I used Kraft cardstock as the card base, then an ivory cardstock as the card topper layers.
Scrapbook Fantasies - Aussie Grunge collection for all of the cute fussy cut & colour cut pieces.

Tatty butterflies

 


Tatty Butterflies.


To start off the sharing of the swap projects for this month are these adorable "tatty butterflies".. I forgot that I was suppose to make Flowers as well, so I did include one in the envelope, but didn't take a photo of it here.

Anyway, I used a few different materials to create the backing for the butterflies.
And even used a couple different Butterflies too. Chipboard, Glitter & Foil and just the basic colour cuts from Scrapbook Fantasies and Kaisercraft.

Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

Believe layout

 

 Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 


Believe


This is the one that got me back into scrapping.
I stuck with something I knew and have scraplifted from myself many times before.
I needed something easy, familiar and guaranteed to make me happy.
This layout is based off a stripped background layout I had designed many years ago and have the pleasure of scraplifting from myself on the occasion over the years.
This is a prime example of how using scraps from a collection can be used to extend your projects.
We all have random pieces of varying sizes leftover without a clue what to do with them.
I hope that the simplicity I have shared with these 5 layouts can inspire you to use up even more of your leftover scraps in an easy and coordinated manner.
This layout I started out with pattern paper #3 as the 12x12” background base, Before quickly placing #5 & #6 pieces on top to layer for a base. Approx 10.5”..
Using #4 to cut the strips from (or use your own leftover pieces), stick them randomly & tightly down to another white scrap piece to hold them all together. I have found this to easier to do keep control of the pattern and the straightness of the strips as I’m working..
Finish off with chipboard pieces, photo mats & flowers.






Although this is quite an easy layout, it’s effective and can be a little fiddly with the strips. But it’s worth it and still can be fully completed under 60min.
Best not to think too much with this one. Just stick it down and away you go.






Did you know that at Scrapbook Fantasies, you are able to return your empty packets for recycling.
