Elle's Studio: Five on Friday Inspiration!

 

Hey Friends, Happy FriYAY!  

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio July Kit inspiration!

I can't wait to share what I've created using the exclusive July 2021 Kit and new release items! Today's post is all about highlighting 5 of the new products - hence, 5 on Friday! 

Let's get started! 

Firstly, here are the 5 products I've chosen to highlight...

1. July 2021 Kit die cuts

2. Adventure 6x 8.5inch Paper Stack

3. Cardstock Die Cut Tags

4. Navy Puffy Alphabet Stickers

and last, but by no means least,

5. Summertime Tabs Stamp

Wow! SO much awesomeness to craft with! Some might say the Fantastic Five! 

Here's what I came up with, 

"Vacay & Good Times" 

How awesome is this?! 

Five products, and five stars! You'd never know that this page was limited to only five products - so many wonderful details to admire! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: July 2021 Kit die cuts, Adventure 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack, Cardstock Die Cut Tags, Navy Puffy Alphabet Stickers, and Summertime Tabs Stamp. 

Other: White Bazzill cardstock, black stamping ink, machine stitching. 

Let's take a closer look...

Firstly, let's talk all things pattern paper! 

I think it's only fair to say that the new Adventure 6 x8.5inch Paper Stack is a serious 'must-have' item! With 2 sheets of 15 designs it's easy to create the illusion of full size 12inch papers. I butted together two 2inch strips of the striped design paper and adhered them to the back of my distressed white cardstock base to form a 12 inch background paper. So cool! 

On the opposite side of my page, I layered two 6inch squares of the yellow striped paper over the top of my white cardstock. To build on my design, and to enhance my sunset photo I also machine stitched a pattern paper sunburst design over the striped yellow section. Plus, I even backed my photograph onto a paper base too! Pattern paper is definitely for the win!

And speaking of winning, how about the versatile use of the Navy Puffy Alphabet Stickers? Apart from the obvious title, I also used these stickers to emphasize the sunburst rays! Such an inventive way to utilize the exclamation marks! 

The June 2021 Kit die cuts were the perfect embellishment for adorning my photo, as well as filling some negative space. I combined the two tone banner with the Summertime Tabs Stamp to add a snip-it of storytelling to my page. 

To fill more of the negative space, I shadow stamped the 'fun in the sun' sentiment - also from the awesome Summertime Tabs Stamp.  

The Cardstock Die Cut Tags could be used in a myriad of ways, but I tucked mine beneath my photo to create even more visual attention. 

Really simple, and such effective approaches for maximizing 5 products! 

I hope my project has inspired you today!

July 2021 Exclusive Kit and New Releases!

So many fabulous new products!

Let's check them out...

July 2021 Exclusive Kit

Yep, it's another 'take my money now' month, lol! 

Seriously though, the July products won't last long - 

***Shop ALL the new things HERE ***

Here's a lil looksee at what I've created for today's release...

"Adventure" - 8.5inch x 11inch scrapbook page

How pretty is this adventure page?!

It's documenting the story of my son and I heading out to an expedition of Morialta Falls.

I know, you can't read the story as it is hidden on the back of my layout for personal reasons - but I really think the layout says it all! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: July 2021 Kit, Chipboard Speech Bubble Stickers, Tiny Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers - Neutrals, The Great Outdoors Wood Veneers, Acrylic Trees & Adventure 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack.

Other Supplies: White Bazzill Cardstock.  

Here's a few detailed shots for you...

Despite the rich, warm & outdoorsy vibe of this month's kit I was still able to create a cool and feminine page to document my story. 

I just love that kind of versatility! So much value added when you can use your kits for more than the 'expected'. 

How awesome are those  Acrylic Trees combined with The Great Outdoors Wood Veneer?! 

Such a fun detail! 

And no surprises that I managed to use not one, but 4 of the patterned papers from the  Adventure 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack! Such terrific patterns & colors! 

My second layout is a bit more masculine...

"The Best" - 8.5inch x 11inch scrapbook layout

WHOA! Such an awesome Great Outdoors page! LOVE this!

Elle's Studio Supplies: July 2021 Kit, Navy Cardstock Label Stickers, Chipboard Speech Bubble Stickers, Navy Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Tiny Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers - Neutrals, The Great Outdoors Wood Veneers,& Adventure 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack.

Let's take a better look...

To create the impression of a full patterned paper background, I carefully adhered 2 sheets of the woodgrain paper (from the  Adventure 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack) to my white cardstock base. I aligned the paper joins, and covered most of the connection with my photo cluster. 

A really simple idea, but super effective! 

How fantastic is that Let's Go For A Hike Great Outdoors Wood Veneer?!

Lots of lovely layers to my photo cluster! 

Well, I think you'll agree that the Elle's Studio July 2021 Exclusive Kit 

and New Releases are a crafter's essential! 

Shop yours HERE before they're all sold out! 

I hope my projects have inspired you!

Please be sure to stop by a lil later in the month for more July 2021 Kit inspiration!

Elle's Studio: More February Kit Inspiration!

 

Hi Crafters!

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio awesomeness! 

Today I am sharing more February 2021 Kit inspiration! Such a beautiful kit with so many crafty possibilities! Here's what I created with it...

"We So Happy"

Oh how soft and dreamy! What a delightful page for my two darlings! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: February 2021 Kit, February 2021 Cut Files, Happy Little Moments Chipboard Stickers, Good Times Tab Stamp, XOXO 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack. 

Other: Bazzill Basics - Avalanche, sewing machine, colored stamping ink cubes, ribbon, & pom pom trim. 

Let's take a more detailed look at my project...

The pretty pastel colors included in this month's kit were too good to ignore, so I stacked and layered 5 of the 3 x 4inch note cards together to form a beautiful pastel base for my sweet photo. To create  more interest, I foam mounted this note card stack onto the February 2021 Cut File: Rainbow Tag to really draw attention to my photograph. Simple, and yet so effective!

To enhance the soft pastel look, I also trimmed one of the XOXO pattern papers to give me 4 pastel color  6 x 1inch paper strips, which I machine stitched onto my white cardstock base.  The variance in machine stitches featured, and the addition of ribbon and pom pom trim, really added texture and interest to my otherwise soft and delicate design. 

I embellished around my photo cluster with some of the chipboard clouds from the Happy Little Moments Chipboard Stickers - aren't they the cutest?! And used these very same stickers to form my layout title, 'We So Happy'. (The 'We So' was taken from the 'awesome' sticker) 

To break up the very white background, I also stamped around my photo cluster with the tiny heart and star icons from the Good Times Tab Stamp. The sprinkled (stamped) stars and hearts give a playful and magical vibe to the page, whilst adding color and interest as well. 

With such a crisp, clean & pretty color scheme, I felt that I need to add something more to balance my design. Cue the fabulous gray elements! That gray die cut ampersand from the February 2021 Kit is SO good! You'll also spot the gray chipboard 'together' sticker and those pretty patterned pops of gray XOXO paper peeking through my distressed cardstock edges. 

Clean, simple and oh so beautiful memory keeping with the February 2021 Kit! 

I hope my scrapbook page has inspired you to get creating with your Elle's Studio exclusive Kits! 

Thanks so much for stopping by

til next time, 

Happy Arty Days,
