Hi Flutterby Fans,

After flipping through my stash of Flutterby Design goodies and having this photo in mind of my gorgeous nieces, I decided to challenge myself to make a layout using only the leftovers and offcuts of previous layouts. A wee bit of stash busting!

I am a bit of a hoarder of offcuts and usually they just get tucked away and never see the light of day again - so challenge accepted 😀

I started with a background of teal, purple and pink Flutter Colour Paint plus a few drops here and there of purple and teal ink for splatters etc.

I had some offcuts from the Magical AF 12 x 12 paper pack and I still had loads of the Magical AF everyday etc cards left as well. I loved this quote and is quite apt for the photo, as my nieces are amazing young women whom I am very proud of. 

Here are the links to the products in store - treat yourself!

Let's take a look at the close ups!

Fussy cut those titles out of your Everyday Etc cards so you can change the design of your layout. The pieces can be tucked over or under or even around your photo cluster to draw attention to it.

Go through your stash to find co-ordinating Filler Cards - We run the world collection had perfect leftover filler cards that matched.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, I hope to see your layouts in the Inspiration HQ complete with leftovers, offcuts, old and past kits bits and pieces! Stash busting 101.

Adventure || By Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest layout, 

a bright and fun boy layout featuring the new Flutterby Designs Art Foamies stamps.

I absolutely love these big foam stamps, so easy to use with paint or inks and stamp wonderfully over the top of Flutter Colour Paint. 

Products used from the Shop:

Let's check out the close ups!

Art foamies stamping in the background and circles punched from the Happily Ever After  Everyday Filler Cards lead your eye down the page to the photo.

Frame your photo with a small polaroid frame painted and stamped with the Art Foamies Stamps, the possibilities are endless.

I hand stamped the long title and adhered it down the page. 

Staples are a great way to add grunge to a boy page and also great for adhering strips of chipboard. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, make sure you catch me next time for a feminine layout using layering !

Cool as Bro || Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest project for Flutterby Designs, a mixed media boy layout featuring a monochromatic palette plus the colour teal! 

Who else is a teal fan?

With this layout I started with spraying teal colour through the Star Stencil, letting that dry completely before adding black ink elements by smoothing black ink through the He Said She Said Stencil and the Got Letters stencil.

Then adding some funky distressed stamping with Viva Las Vegas Stamps.

Though I think the winner in my eyes is the monochromatic everyday filler cards of the 'Blank Pallete' collection. Perfect to match with any colour/s and looks fab with wood veneer (speech bubbles).

Here are the close ups !

Thanks for stopping by the blog today,

Make sure you pop on by the Inspiration page to say hi!

Road Trip | Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here from the new look Design Team with my first post ! 

I have been super excited to start creating with all the bright and funky Flutterby goodies and came across some 'road trip' products and I immediately thought of the layout I would create.

My layout features the 'Good Vibes Only' collection plus loads of other Flutterby products.

Let's take a closer look at the finer details 😀

I started with a background created with Distress stains, stamping with Viva Las Vegas Stamps and blending ink through Flutterby Designs 'bright-like-a-diamond-stencil'.

I also fussy cut some elements from the 'Good-vibes-only-everyday cards' to build a scene along with some layered 'good-vibes-only-filler-cards' and 'wood-veneer' bits and pieces.

Add some distressed sewing (ahem... ok terrible sewing) and a cute little flair-button, some wood veneers and a few splatters here and there! 

I also like to get some use out of my old circle punches.

Layer your elements so they flow across your page over the background you have created.

Make use of your stored up snippet-strips - neutral colours to add that extra layer over your elements.

Don't be afraid to try your photo and elements on an angle, I cut a photo in two (palm trees and sky) and added that to my photo cluster to continue with telling my story on the page and then decided to give them all a little twist to add visual interest. 

Play around with your design before you stick it down!

 That's it from me today, thanks for stopping by the blog and 

sharing my excitement for my first post as part of the team!  

Wishing you all a Happy New Year as well, let's all do some fabulous things in 2019 !

Hugs
