I'm pretty sure every Summer moment is my favorite part, but especially days spent at the beach with these two! 

The Proud Of You Die Cuts might seem to have a back to school theme, but honestly, they're super versatile too! And I'm loving all the pops of teal this month!

***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: Product Spotlight: Good Times Paper!

 

Hi Creative Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio awesomeness!

Today I'm shining the Product Spotlight on the Good Times 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack - Yay! I just adore all the bright colors and bold patterns in this fun paper stack, plus the designs are super versatile too! Rather than rave about my love for the Good Times Paper Stack, let's take a look at what I've created, 

"Hello Summer"

Hello, indeed! All the Summertime vibes! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: Good Times 6x8.5inch Paper Stack, June 2021 Kit, Stars and Stripes Chipboard Stickers, Acetate Star Stickers, Cork Labels, & Patriotic Acrylic Stars.  

Other Supplies: White Bazzill Cardstock, & Sewing Machine Stitching. 

There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating with the Good Times Paper Stack, so to showcase these beautiful papers I decided to use 5 different designs on my scrapbook layout. Let's take a closer look at how I achieved this...

To start with, I opted for a playful machine stitched, layered rectangles design. This is such a fun look and is super easy to make! I trimmed 4 of the Good Times pattern papers to 1 1/2inches wide by 2 1/2inches long, and arranged them in descending rows from 5 paper rectangles down to 2 rectangles. 

I machine stitched across the top of each paper row, and to add a bit more interest, lightly rolled the paper rectangles. This really enhanced the 'lift the flap' appearance of the Good Times paper rectangles - simple but so effective! 

The fifth paper featured on this page is that awesome black and white crosses design. I used this Good Times paper to back my foam mounted photograph with. The contrast of black and white against all those brightly colored paper rectangles is really striking and draws further attention to my photograph too! Winning! 

Even though the Elle's Studio Paper Stacks are 6x8.5inches, I love to maximize them and form the appearance of them being a full 12 inches. On this layout, I perfected this look at the base of my layout by butting two 1 inch by 6 inch lengths of the same paper together. To make the paper joins less visible, I positioned my June Kit 3x4inch fussy cut note cards Hello Summer title over them both. 

To complete my layout, I embellished with a mix of Cork Labels and all the stars from the June release. A really beautiful page thanks mostly to those Good Times papers! 

Tell me, what will you create with the fabulous Good Times Paper Stack papers?

Elle's Studio: Product Focus: May Kit plus Knockout Words Die Set

 

Hi Creative Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio awesomeness! 

Today I'm shining the product spotlight on one of my favorite, must-have items from the May release - the fabulous Knockout Words Metal Die Set! 

This metal die set is absolutely aaah-may-zing and perfect for all types crafty projects! 

***Get yours from the Elle's Studio shop HERE***

The Knockout Words Metal Die is great for creating shaker pocket words & titles, card sentiments, making your own star and heart embellishments, and even decorating PL pocket pages with! But for today's post, I'm sharing how simple it is to incorporate this Metal Die Set into your everyday memory keeping pages! 

Here's what I've created with the Knockout Words Metal Die, 

"Favorite Moment" - 12x12inch scrapbook layout

Oh how sweet & fun! Favorite moment, indeed!

Elle's Studio Supplies: May Kit, Tiny Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers - Warm Tones, Cork Words, Good Times Paper Stack & Knockout Words Metal Die. 

Other Supplies: White Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, & Sewing Machine Stitching.

Let's take a closer look at how I've used the Knockout Words Metal Die in three different ways on my layout...

1. Create a big title that packs some punch! 

I couldn't resist using the negative cuts from the Knockout Words Metal Dies to form my 'favorite moment' title with the Good Times Paper Stack. I used the deep blue pattern paper to make this punched out title look even more striking and effective! I could have also backed these die cut words with another pattern paper or even some clear acetate, but instead I opted to messily machine stitch through mine to compliment my overall page design. 

2. Create your own custom embellishments!

With such a loving theme to my page's story, it was an obvious decision to make my own heart die cuts from the heart shaped Knockout die. Again, I used a Good Times pattern paper with the die set, but cork, vellum and fabric would have been a terrific option for this too! The star die in the Knockout Words Metal Die set could also incorporated this way. 

In keeping with my distressed and messily machine stitched page, I also stitched my custom created hearts onto my layout. Repetition and continuity in design is everything to me! 

3. Use the Knockout Words alphas to create your own sentiments/journaling! 

Beneath my photo cluster is the machine stitched, & die cut sentiment 'love you more', which I created from combining the Love You, Favorite and Moment word dies. I rearranged the die cut alphas to make a phrase/sentiment that suited my story and needs - simple but such a great way to maximize this versatile metal die set! 

Simple, striking and really easy ideas to use the Knockout Words Metal Die set in your everyday scrapbook projects! 

I really hope my project has inspired you to get creating with this awesome die set today!

Happy Arty Days,
