Hello Card - With Jillibean Soup!

Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. This last project is a card - "Hello".

I love love love the coordinating stamp set in the Bohemian Brew collection. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a feature of the vases. I love that there were 3 different shaped vases. I played around with just stamping them and having no colour, through to multiple colours, through to all the same colours. I stamped them onto white cardstock using black Archival ink then used watercolor markers and a watercolour brush to colour them. I kept it simple and tried to add a bit of shading. I then fussy cut to use on my card.  

I've used a 6x6 card blank then adhered a 5¾x5¾ piece of "Unity" paper (with distressed edges). 

Next I added a piece of "Love" paper - this was an offcut so I wasnt particular with the size. Actually the "Love" paper is my most favourite - I think because of the colour. I need to buy some more!! 

Then I added a 4x3 piece of "Bite Size bits". I had actually cut out all the cards on this paper and the reverse side of one of the cards was perfect for this card.

Next I added a "Pea Pod Part" strip and my stamped vases.

Lastly I added more die cuts and a "soup label sticker".

Happy Day Card - With Jillibean Soup!

Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. This project is a card - "Happy Day".

I mainly scrapbook but I love to make cards with offcuts of papers. I try and make the cards straight after I've made a scrapbook page and often use similar designs and techniques.

For this card I've started with a 6x6 card blank then taken a piece of 5¼x5¼ white cardstock and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create a watercolor background using watercolor pan paints.

When dry I distressed the edges and adhered it to a 5¾x5¾ piece of "Love" paper (also with distressed edges), then to the card base.

I added a felt flower as a feature of the card, then added flower and heart "pea pod parts" as well as alphas from the "Letter die cuts" pkt and the "happy" soup label  sticker.

Adventure - With Jillibean Soup!

 Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. Todays project is a Scrapbook page - "Adventure". I love the fun and bright colours and retro designs of the Bohemian Brew collection - perfect for documenting family life such as this photo of me bike riding.

For this scrapbook page I've started with a piece of 12x12 white cardstock and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create a watercolor background using watercolor pan paints. 

I used the flower from the stamp set and a "2-tone stamping" technique to stamp some yellow/orange flower images (see stamping image) which were then fussy cut. I also stamped other images in different coordinating colours then fussy-cut them out.

When dry I adhered a 4" strip of Bohemian Brew "Peace" patterned paper and a ½" strip of "Content" to the top of the painted background. And another ½"strip of "content" to the bottom of the page.

My photo is 3x4 including a white border. I also cut out 2 cards from the "Bite size bits" paper that were the same size.

Above my photo I've clustered a stamped image, diecuts, word stickers and adhesive sequins - I love the combination of different elements.

On the bottom left of my photo/card row I've included a similar cluster, this time using the 2-toned stamped flower image. This is a fun technique to use on word stamps too.

Under the photo I have added a variety of word diecuts and stickers - I love using a variety of shapes, colours  and fonts.

Lastly in the bottom right of the page I added more diecuts, adhesive backed sequins, and tiny word stickers.

Hello You - With Jillibean Soup!

Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. The first being a Scrapbook page - "Hello You". I love the fun and bright colours and floral designs of the Bohemian Brew collection - perfect for documenting this photo of our family holidaying in Hawaii.

For this scrapbook page I've started with a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 11¼ x 11¼ and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create a watercolor background using watercolor pan paints.

When dry I adhered the painted background to a sheet of Bohemian Brew "Calm" 12x12 patterned paper.

I used the stamp set and a "markers direct to stamp" technique to stamp some of the flower buds/leaves in coordinating colours.

    

I also stamped all of the images in different coordinating colours then fussy-cut them out. I do this so I have a variety of images in different colours that I can place on my page as I'm designing my layout. 

My photo is 3¾x4¾ (I print all my photos at home on an Epson XP-600, I import my pictures into MS Word where I resize them then print an A4 sheet at a time, I always leave space so i can cut them with a white border).

I have matted my photo with "Love" and "Peace" patterned paper and attached it to the bottom right of my page.

 

Next I added 3 of the big and fabulous "felt flowers" around the photo then added diecuts and stamped images around the flowers and in the top left of the page.

Lastly I added some adhesive backed sequins (they are so convenient and easy to use with the sticky back!!), word stickers, handwritten journalling and a date stamp.
