It's December!!!

Happy December everyone!

I cannot quite believe we are in December already. The Christmas shopping is nearly done, I'm not quite sure how I have managed to be so organised with that?!

But it does mean we have the December Kit from Tres Jolie Kits to enjoy and create beautiful layouts and projects!

This months papers are from Maja Design. I love Maja papers and this winter/ Christmas themed collection are as beautiful as ever!

So here is my first project made with the Scrapbook kit. 

I love this kit because you can make your Christmas layouts with it but it works really well for non- Christmas layouts too!

Here are a few close ups with some details of how the layout was put together. 

I based the design around a cut circle. The edges distressed and inked with a Walnut Stain Distress Ink. 

The photo of Roxy I have backed with 3 paper layers, all distressed.

There is a small amount of stencilling behind the circle. This is a subtle effect in the background. 

The circle is backed with a piece of cardboard (from the kit postal packaging) to lift it off the background paper. This gives the layout much more depth.

The background paper was heavily inked with Rusty Hinge and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. These colours blend so well with Roxy's coat colours!

The chipboard Holly from Creative embellishments I simple changed by sponging distress ink Walnut Stain all over it, again this was so it blended with Roxy's colouring and kept the neutral tones going in the layout.

I highlighted the layout by adding the pale yellow, cinnamon coloured flowers to add a little contrast to the rest of the layout.

I added some silver Nuvo crystal drops in random places in groups of 3 dots, I always remember the rule of 3??!

The Prima Resin Icon pieces are from a previous  Tres Jolie Kit, but I thought the colours of them fitted perfectly with the grey flowers in this months kit.

Greetings Card Set 2 - Tres Jolie Kits

Hi all, 

Today I'm sharing another set of cards created with the Cards Tags and More kit!

These cards are a little bit more modern and bold compared to the shabby chic set I made at the beginning of the month. I hope you like them!

Here is each card close up.

Here is a short process on how they were put together.

 

I started with the Card blank for my base.

Now for all the layers, each photo shows you each layer in order with the measurements.

Distress all edges

Layer and stick all pieces on the card base in order of size, largest to smallest.

Add  a strip of gems down one side

And a group of flowers in the corner.

Lastly emboss the chipboard word greeting with black embossing powder and glue in place on the card.

The Maze layout for Tres Jolie Kits

I'm back today with my last layout created with the November kit from Tres Jolie Kits featuring the lovely Dreamland papers from AB Studios.

On this layout I've used the papers to help create my flower clusters to frame the photo.

Here's my layout....

I used a torn panel from a floral patterned paper and added it over the neutral background paper, positioning it so the floral cluster comes out rom behind my photo.

I cannot do straight edges but you have probably noticed that by now...

My Mum is horrified when she sees I have torn my paper up again! 

I balanced the design of the layout by creating my embellishment flower cluster on the opposite side of the photo.

I added a couple of embellishments to the floral design paper to 'lift' the design up off the page.

The tags are all distressed and layered up to look like they are slotted in behind the photo. Dont be frightened to really shabby them up and rip them a bit, they really look like they have been used and pulled in and out from behind the photo a lot!!

I added the chipboard keys to my clusters. These I left in their raw state as I felt the rustic look suited my layout.

Kit contents used:

AB Studio Dreamland paper collection

49 & Market Vintage Shades - Yellow

49 & Market Seaside Blooms – Natural Blush

49 & Market Blossom Blooms – Linen

Creative Embellishments Chipboard - Keys
