Always Cute

Hello!  Happy Sunday!  It is super cold here again and I look forward to holing up in my craft room and doing some creating!  I wanted to share a layout I made using my Happy Bins!  I love Cute Girl by Crate Paper, on of my all time favorites, I suppose it goes so very well with little girl photos!!  I had some paper that I had painted black for another project and decided to punch it with a circle punch and make a big polka dot background!  I love white space, but sometimes it can be too much white space so the big black polka dots filled it up nicely!  The bonus with punching a painted paper is that you get a mixed media look without paper warping!

I made my title from a combination of goodies.  The you is from Oh My Heart with the r cut off, the Always is from a pack of chipboard I bought at Micheals and the cute is a puffy sticker from Cute Girl.  I incorporated a Heidi Swapp tab on the side of the photo with a phrase sticker on it.  The layout is pretty simple but I love it!

Love the papers peeking out from behind the photos!

I am sharing a layout made with my happy bin contents!  It is so much fun digging around in the bins and seeing what I find!  I used some left over clear stickers from Pretty Little Studio, Thickers I have had for a long time and a stamp set designed by Suse Fish for Felicity Jane for the title!  There is lots of white space on this layout with some pretty papers and ruffles!  Love how it turned out!

I made a cut little rosette banner for the layout!

Lovely puddles of pink paint!

Happy Snow

My assignment for Mixed Media Monday at Hip Kit was to use Irit’s gorgeous papers in the December 2017 Hip Kit as inspiration!  I used the Shimmerz Snow Way Man Vibez spray from the December 2017 Color Kit with the Shimmerz Puttin’ on the Glitz Pasteez to make my background.  It was my first time using Pasteez and I love the texture and glitz it adds!  To embellish I used many items from the American Crafts Sweater Weather stickers and added Pinkfresh Studio frames and chipboard to the mix that came in the November 2017 Hip Kits.

What do you do when a cut file has so many adorable little bits left over?  Paint them!!  After I cut the Half Christmas Tree (Design ID #230008) cut file I ended up with all the adorable cutouts and I couldn’t throw them away!  I got out my water-colour set and painted each little icon and after they were dry I added some details with a sharpie fine tip marker.  I used the cut out tree as a mask shape and painted the paper with green water-colour paint and also added splatters over the rest of the page.  I then glued the icons back into their cut spot, again using the cut out tree for placement.  Turn the Page by Paige Evans & Pink Paislee is SO perfect for Christmas pages so I added a chipboard star, bird tag and cut out the banner from the cut apart paper.  So fun and festive!!

I added buttons, sequins and puffy stickers to decorate the tree!

Love the yellow chipboard star from Turn the Page by Paige Taylor Evans & Pink Paislee!

Brave Adventure

I LOVE Mixed Media Monday on the Hip Kit Club Blog!  The Color Kits that Kimberly puts together are always fun and colorful and the October 2017 Color Kit is no exception!  This month we received sheets of 12×12 Cold Pressed Watercolor paper and I was super excited to use it!  I used all 3 Shimmerz included in the kit as well, Mango Tango, Lapis Dance and Old Yeller.  I spritzed, painted and puddled the paints multiple times.  To get the bright bold colors I let the layers dry in between so they would intensify.  I added a bit of my Shimmerz Heidi Ho Blue to bring in the brighter blue from my photo!  Once the paper had dried completely I added some vertical machine stitching and some texture paste through a stencil.  I used the gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary Ephemera from the Oct. 2017 Main Hip Kit and the Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary Studio Puffs from the Oct. 2017 Embellishment Kit to decorate the page!

The Pinkfresh butterflies are gorgeous with their gold wings!  I love that the ephemera goes so beautifully with a mixed media layout as well as a clean layout!

All the color!!

Happy Colors

This morning I was in the mood to bust out the paints!  I had cut the Pie Chart Heart (Design ID #219822) from Paige Taylor Evans & Silhouette earlier in the week and wanted to use it as well!  I drew out some of my favorite paint brushes and used my watercolor palette to color them in.  I traced around a jar I had and then cut a slit beneath the top band of the jar and slid the brushes in, I added a piece of vellum on top and stitched around it with my sewing machine so it would look the brushes were “behind” glass.

For the background I penciled in the cut spaces where I wanted the pie chart heart to be and painted the spaces before glueing down the cut file.  I then added stitching all around the heart.  Last step was to assemble all the pieces and add the Heart Word Happy (Design ID #216681) for a title with the colors chipboard from Take Me Away ( I added a little bit of paint to the chipboard as well).  I sprinkled on some yellow star sequins and used some pretty star die cuts from Turn the Page for the finishing touch!!  Love how it turned out and it made me happy to make it!

Trust the Timing

Paige has added a gorgeous new cut file design to her store this week!  It had been awhile since I went full out with the mixed media and I thought this was a great opportunity!
I cut the Flower Garden Background Design ID #221367 from white card stock.  I coated a 2nd piece of white card stock with clear gesso, after that dried laid the cut file down and scraped Prima 3D matte gel through the cut file and carefully removed it.  Once dried I used multiple mediums painted over the gel.  The gel acts as a resist and the paint puddles in the non raised parts of the texture.
I picked out the teal and yellow items from Turn the Page by Paige Taylor Evans & Pink Paislee.  I die cut some flowers to layer using a 12×12  and a 6×6 paper, I also die cut leaves from the pretty star paper.  The mint ribbon is a specialty ribbon from
