Family Together | Cocoa Vanilla

Hello friends! It’s Kylie back with you all today with a layout I created recently featuring the new ‘These Days’ collection. I wanted to use a cut file background for my page and one that would almost fill the page. I selected this gorgeous Rainbow cut file which was designed by Paige Evans. I really love all the pastel tones in this collection and chose the ‘THE GOOD LIFE’ paper as my main background.

When backing the cut file, I worked with the A5 PAPER PACK. The size of the papers are great for this as you aren’t cutting into the larger 12 x 12 sheets and it saves the wastage. I cheated with backing the actual rainbow, as the pastel striped paper, ‘FAMILY TIES’, was perfect for adding in a solid piece rather than adding individual sections. For the clouds I also combined some white and gold glitter card stock from my crafty stash.

My photo was printed to a smaller 3″x 4″ size and adhered over the fully backed cut file. With so much colour to the background I really didn’t need to over embellish and have just added an appropriate title from the die cut pack.

To complete my page, I added a small cluster of flowers and a cute phrase from the die cut collections. Some of the flowers were adhered with foam tape so that they added some extra dimension to my page.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have enjoyed seeing my latest page and it gives a little inspiration for your own scrapbooking. Take care!

Kylie.

These Lovely Days | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hello everyone! It’s Kylie with you again and the theme for today’s blog post is to create a layout featuring Puffy Phrase and Alpha Stickers. I couldn’t think of a more perfect collection to use for this theme than the brand new ‘These Days’ collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. I wanted to create a very soft and ‘shabby chic’ themed page today, showcasing a variety of different paper prints also.

Six different papers were chosen to form my background. I trimmed some neat squares of each measuring 2″x2″ each and distressed the edges of them all. They were placed in a brickwork formation over a white cardstock background, using foam adhesive tape.

My photo was printed to 4″x 6″ and adhered to the centre of my page with two stacked papers behind, all with distressed edges.More foam adhesive squares were used to help build height and dimension to my page. It also gave the opportunity to add some embellishments amongst the different layers. I SOOO love the Floral die cut pack.

I created a fun title to add to my page using both the super cute Alpha stickers as well as the foam phrase stickers. They were adhered over the top of my photo and created a nice balance for my layout. Once completed my layout had a lot of colour but thanks to the softness of the pastel colour palette it gave a delicate overall finish.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope my layout has given you a little inspiration with your own scrapbooking.

Take care,

Kylie.
