Creative Embellishments & Petaloo cross promo Blog Hop

WELCOME TO THE PETALOO AND CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS BLOG HOP

APRIL 3RD - 9TH

                                                                                  

Today... we are celebrating with a cross promo Petaloo and Creative Embellishments. What a perfect mix of products to make creating fun and easy.... and so well coordinated. For this page I used fun bright papers to match the great untreated chipboards and fabulous purple flowers and butterflies. The photos are of my eldest Grand Daughter and her cat Miles. This is a precious memory page for her.

Supply List

Creative Embellishments

Chipboards: Cat Set, Circle Doodle Frames, Amazing, Hearts

Accents: Petaloo Dahlas purple, Petites purple, Mini butter Flies purple

Other: Lawn Fawn die, stamp and Perfectly Plaid paper pack, paint, sew easy ink roller, ribbon, ink, pen, cardstock, ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever, Best Cleaner Ever.

I started by laying out the proposed layers, photos to give me an idea of where to apply the painted background.

Removing everything I then used a plastic bag and added the many paint colours to match the print on the paper.

Using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies I got some accents ready to use and set them aside.

I started by layering the central section and gluing it down using ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever. 

I glued down the clustered section on the top left corner and the lower accents running across the bottom border. I then used the Sew Easy ink roller for the ink star borders around the edges.

I added the circle doodled frame around the photo of Miles.

This section shows another cat chipboard and some of the lower border accents.

Here are some more close up detail photos of the accents that were added to this page.

Super cute stamp and dies cats look so cute. Notice I stamped onto the print papers to make these accents.

Here we see the fabulous washi tape shapes chipboard, some heart chipboard, and the Petaloo butterfly and part of the floral cluster with leaves.

Amazing is a great chipboard title with added heart and accent butterflies.

This is the central section of the over all page with all the amazing accents and great photos.

To start this page I ink stamped and textured the corners.

After inking and colouring all the chipboards I placed them onto the page.

Some paper accents from the collection were added for depth and colour. Coloured chipboards were added and flowers too.

Here we view s bit of the title, matted heart with bead centre and butterfly accent.

This amazing floral chipboard was coloured in multi tones, added stickles for sparkle and then some clusters of flowers were added.

More flowers clustered, a flair button and a great paper collection tag accent this corner.

Love that Carte Diem at The Rubber Buggy

Hi.... today I am sharing a layout for The Rubber Buggy using Simple Stories Carpe Diem Collection and the matching die cut accents. This fun bright collection is perfect for some of my great family photos. This is us with our youngest son's family and what a fun photo of our son and his lovely wife. These pages will be presented to them for memories of our times celebrating together.

Supply List:

The Rubber Buggy Products

Paper: Simple Stories Carpe Diem collection

Accents: Simple Stories Carpe Diem snap pack, Petaloo flowers/butterflies

Mediums: Glossy Accents

Other: Creative Embellishment chipboards, cardstock, ScraPerfect non stick fine tip writing tool 

To start this collection I used a floral background. I took some background papers and cut different sizes and shapes to form the layers with a change of colour and prints. The small circular photo I matted with coordinating colours.

From there I pulled the larger photo and cut it to fit the chipboard frame. I pulled lots of accents and words from the collection.

With the background all ready I pulled things off and started to layer and glue from the bottom up to the top layer.

The photo is glued and placed onto the background.

Using the non clogging fine tip writing tool on the bottle of glossy accents I applies the great glossy finish to the word Happy and Love below.

Using Petaloo flowers and leaves I made a cute clustered accent.

These next 2 close ups give a better view of the corner clustered accents with snap accents, paper and chipboards.

These 2 photo close ups show some fun Petaloo butterfly accents. Also note how the photos still pop front and centre for a fabulous family page.
