Kaisercraft Starry Night Layouts for Scrap Shotz

Happy New Year everyone! I'm here with 2 layouts using the December kit. I hope you found some time over the holidays to play with your kits. It is such a beauty!

For my first layout, I used the December sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Facebook group.

The layout starts with a base of black and kraft Bazzill cardstock. I used a few 12 x 12 papers in the Kaisercraft Starry Night Collection. Lots of ephemera and wood veneer were used to decorate but the focus is definitely on the title. The chipboard is from the Southern Ridge Trading Company.

 

I used gold paint on the words, antlers and sleigh accents. The reindeers are brown, the sleigh is Coppenhagen Blue and the blades are silver.

Here is a close-up of the ephemera and wood veneers. I love the dimension and pops of colour they provide. 

For the second layout, I used the Christmas Ornaments Cut Shoppe cut file with my Silhouette Cameo. It's a free file in their shop so go pick it up! I just used half the file with white cardstock as the base.

The background is white cardstock under grey Bazzill cardstock. I used a mixture of 6 x 6 Starry Night papers and 12 x 12 papers to back the cut file. The title is from the Good Tidings Thickers. 

The layout was finished with a splattering of white gesso.

That's a wrap! Thanks for checking out my layouts!

Believe Layout for Scrap Shotz

Hello! I hope you had a chance to check out our Scrap Shotz blog hop! If not, go back one post and join in. There is a chance to win a $25 gift card to the store.

I used the September kit to make another layout. The kit is full of Pinkfresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely.

I grabbed a font I liked and wrote it out in my Silhouette Cameo software. I then drew a line down the side of the letters. I deleted the line where the letters touched my paper so it wouldn't cut. Now I have this cool effect that looks like the letters are coming out of the paper. I put some Bazzill cardstock behind it.

I put some white paper behind the smaller wreath so it would stand out. The rest is just embellishing.

I love this kit sooo much! I hope to post one more layout. Come back soon!

Summer Holiday Layout for S.I.T.

Hello! I have a layout using the Prima "Golden Coast" collection from Scrap Shotz (a Canadian online scrapbooking store). It also uses some Bazzill cardstock and a boat cut file from Paper Issues.

Here is the sketch for this week at Sketches In Thyme. The prize this month is Simple Stories "Little Princess".



Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Prima Golden Coast Layout for Scrap Shotz

Hello everyone! I'm back again to show you a layout with the new Prima "Golden Coast" collection. It is full of summer, beachy themes with pinks, yellows and a touch of light blue. It also has some really cool embellishments, so keep on reading!

I chose these pictures because the colours match the collection really well. My daughter also has sunglasses that match the sunglasses trinket that I just had to use. Here's how I put it together.

1. Begin with the background paper "California Dreaming". I used some dollar store Copenhagen Blue paint mixed with water and spread on plastic packaging. I smooshed it around the paper and then added some spatters.

2. Next, I tore some Bazzill "Blossom" cardstock for the strip down the middle. I actually tore it a few times until I got the size and shape I wanted. I tore two more strips for beside the photos.

3. I tore the outside of the "Up in the Air" paper and tucked it under the cardstock. I tucked another two strips under my photos.

4. I used the Best Creations Glitter Cardstock "Opal White" to make my title. I chose a fun font and cut it with my Silhouette Cameo. Make sure to set the machine to cut thick paper! It's hard to tell from the photo but the title shimmers.

5. Finally, I added all the pretty embellishments. The flowers at the bottom, the flamingo and the two words on the pictures are from the Ephemera pack. The light pink flowers are from the Prima Blissful flowers pack. The bright pink flowers are from Studio Katia "Spring Garden" mix. The hearts are from the Chipboard sheets. And last but not least, those sunglasses are from the Trinkets. I took the metal ring off and used some glue dots to adhere it to the page.

6. Of course, I can't leave a layout without some journaling and blue thread tucked in the corners.

Thanks so much for taking a look at my layout. I hope you get to play with this collection, especially if you like mixed media and soft, pretty colours!

Sand Castle Fun Layout for Scrap Shotz

Hello! Today I'm here with my layout using the May Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketch and the Prima Golden Coast Collection. This collection is so pretty - yellow, pink and blue! It has a beach theme so I pulled out my beach pictures and selected this one of my daughter and her cousin building their annual sand castle.

Here is the sketch:

The top and bottom corner sections were already printed on the background paper. I used the Golden Heart paper. 

I used the Up in the Air paper to frame my picture and I cut around the hot air balloon so it would layer on top. That beige rectangle made such a nice frame for my picture! And it is made with gold foil. I also tucked the bottom of this page onto the bottom of my layout to fill the space represented by the large square on the sketch.

I also found a tag in the ephemera pack that had the same gold border so I used it as my journaling spot. I just flipped over another tag and used the white side for the writing. I cut around the seahorse and the flowers so they could lie over the journaling card.

I cut the title on my Silhouette from some cardstock and used the Dear Lizzy Thickers from a previous month's kit. I also layered the Bazzill Blossom cardstock under the photo and journaling card by tearing it. I put some foam behind the photo to make it pop off the page. I also used some Best Creations Glitter Cardstock to frame the picture.

The rest of the layout is using the Studio Katia Spring Garden sequins, thread, ephemera, chipboard, Blissful flowers and the shell Trinket! Here's a photo of them - they are awesome!

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what everyone makes with this collection.
