PinkFresh Studio Fun with Anita Bownds


Hi there,
Today I'm sharing a few pink fresh layouts with you 
My first layout is about happy mail, each time I receive a box of goodies I get super excited 
And can't wait to play with them... but I guess everyone gets so excited to play when the get awesome paper goodies..


With this layout I wanted to use this creamy light coffee patterned paper as my background 
And I thought the pink and red would complete the look I was going for 
So I added a strip of one of the other patterned papers I cut in half for another project 
And tucked the pink and red triangle under the edge in the centre 
I thought the packaging that the product comes in was super cute so I cut some up and added behind my photo layers 



I used the die cuts and tuck them behind my photo and around my photo 
I add the cute paper clip 


And I added my title and a sub title using the die cuts 


My next layout is of a butterfly I followed around the garden to get a photo 
I started bu layering my white cardstock over the colourful plus patterned paper 
And machine stitching around the edges 



Using the 4 x4 cut aparts I add one at the top of my layout for my title 
Then I layered 3 other patterned paper and added my photo on top


Next I add some die cuts and stickers around the photo and 
Added a few puffy stickers as sprinkles 



Pink fresh live more is crop kit for this month and it's a wonderful collection to play with

Selfies with Mum - by DT Sandra Scott

Good morning everyone, Sandra here with a layout from the My Mind's Eye Hooray Collection from the Shop and Crop Store.
 
I chose my photos to suit the collection and I was lucky enough to have a few of these gorgeous selfies of my granddaughter and her daughter.  

The photos were so playful I wanted to add some fun on the background so used one of my favourite stencils from TCW with another product that I love and you can find in the Shop and Crop Store - Colour Blast Paste.


I matted my photos with the patterned paper and fussy cut one of the sheets with all those gorgeous circles which I felt blended with the circles of the stencil.  
I layered some strips on the top and bottom of the page to make it feel more grounded.  
I'm loving gold at the moment so added some narrow gold washi tape from my stash and finished with the gold alpha.

Here are the close-ups.

My second layout with the same range was for an adult birthday celebration.


Similar to the first one I layers strips of paper to the bottom of the page including my pink washi tape (loving the bling) and to bling it up a little more I sprinkled glitter on the background under my photo.  

I cut the tags with a die and layered them above the photo as well as fussy cutting some circles for under the photo.

I coloured the wooden embellishments with Brilliance Gold Ink.

'Sweet' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Shop and Croppers!

Elisa here from the design team with my take on this months 'tic tac toe' challenge. I decided to go diagonally across the board - stamping, embossing powder and cardstock.

Don't forget when ordering from Shop and Crop Scrapbooking you can use the code EA5 for a discount at the checkout.




Here is my layout - feminine with a gorgeous colour combination of pinks, golds and yellow.



I have a little step by step tutorial on how I created the flower embellishments on my page.


Step 1 - Using a good quality watercolour paper, stamp and embossing powder (Lindy's Embossing Powder in white).


Step 2 - Cover your stamp with embossing liquid or use an embossing stamp pad and heat emboss your stamped image.


Step 3 - repeat until you have stamped, embossed and heat set at least 5 to 6 flowers.


Step 4 - Open your tin of Prima Watercolour Pans - shimmering lights and using a spray bottle and paintbrush add colour to your stamped images. Spray your stamped image first with water. Add water to your chosen colour on your palette and using a wet paint brush move it around your stamped image. The embossing creates a resist effect for the watercolour.


Step 5 - Keep adding colour to your flowers, then once dry, splatter your flowers with gold splatter and fussy cut them out. Splatter your layout with the same gold splatter - I used a combination of Bling Colour Blast Shimmer Spray and watered down shimmering colour.



Here are some close ups of the finer details :-)






Here are some of the products used to create this layout. All available from the shop today ...
