The Tan will Fade, But Memories Last- Chrissi M

Hello Lovelies,

Today I'm sharing with you a layout I made whilst playing with the new Flutterby Designs Custom Designed Art Foamie Stamps. OMG sooooo much fun. I adored playing with these new tools, and I can not wait to get out my Gel Plate and have a play-which I think will be my very next project-so stay tuned for that one.

So here is my project. This is a picture I had of Will, the last time we went to the rock pools. It was a great trip, and also the first time he and his dad, jumped off the rocks. Lots of memories.

The Good Vibes Only Collection was perfect fort his.

I started by applying paint with a silicon 'brush' to my background,then I literally threw some white paint over the green for texture. I love playing with paint.

Then I wanted to play with the new Art Foamies. I used the Round Random set. I applied white paint with a brayer to the stamp, so i would get an even and light cover of paint and a nice transfer. I applied the stamp to my background, even including the white areas, to give a tone on tone look. I didn't want to bring in another colour.

Then using the Good Vibes Only Every Day Etc Cards, I had fun making a cluster of layers behind my photo for visual interest. I kept my embellishing simple with the matching flair badges from the Good Vibes Only collection. 

I do have a video to go along with this page, so head over to the Flutterby Inspiration HQ Facebook page later today for the link.

Thanks for stopping

Good Vibes Only | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout 

using a mix of Flutterby collections.

 

I created my background using some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish, 

applied with a dry brush. I then added some coloured modelling paste 

through a Mmm Pie stencil. In typical me fashion though, 

I ended up covering up most of my background with all of the fab layers 

under my photo ( you can just see a bit of the stencil 

poking out of the bottom of the layers!)

I used various Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo from the 

'Good Vibes Only' and 'We Are' collections.

For my title I used a sticker from the Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes, 

matted with orange cardstock. I then added a layer of cardboard to bring it up off the page.

I also scattered some 'We Are' Sticky Quotes , some BRIGHT Snippet Strips, 

as well as some enamel dots around my page.

 

I added some Little Birdie flowers, a heart from Charm's Creations, a page tab, a ticket, flair button 

and the cassette from the 'Good Vibes Only' Die Cut Bits and Bobs pack in my embellie clusters.

Keep your eyes peeled in a couple of days for
 the release of the newest collection 'Magical AF'!

Thanks for looking

Nice Normal Family | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today.

For my share today I have used a mash-up of different Flutterby collections, 

but the beauty of Anita's style means that all the collections 

can be used so well together.

I have fussy cut a quote from a 'We Are' Everyday Etc card for my title.

I have layered several Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo - I have used some 

'Fair Dinkum Chrissy' Everyday Etc filler cards as it was a photo from Christmas day, 

and an Everyday Etc filler card 

from the 'Good Vibes Only' collection to match my dress.

I fussy cut a 'this is us' frame and added a flair button and page tab.

I added some Die Cut Bits and Bobs from 'Fair Dinkum Chrissy' and 'We Are'. 

I finished off the page with some ink splatters, doodling and some enamel dots.

 

Thanks for looking

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

Peace Love Pineapples | Sue Plumb

Hi everyone!

I am here today to share my latest design team project created for Flutterby Designs - a mixed media layout featuring the 'Good Vibes Only' collection and Flutter Colour paints. I documented a photo of myself, my hubby and a couple of our mates that was taken at a local event on Australia Day. (In case you are wondering how the pineapples are relevant, the event featured a pineapple throwing competition.)

To go along with the theme of Australia Day, I chose a green and gold colour scheme. I used Flutter Colour paints to paint my background - first using a brush, then a brayer, and finally my fingers to add some highlights. 

On top of the paint I added some Colour Blast Colour Paste using the super cute 'Be a Pineapple' stencil. I then dropped some green Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink randomly over the top before drying it off. 

Next I took some of the 'Good Vibes Only' Everyday Etc cards and created a layered mat for my photo; then added some frayed gauze for texture before adding my photo on top. I tore up some small pieces of washi tape from the 'Good Vibes Only' kit and placed them around the page.

I fussy cut my peace love pineapples title piece from another of the Everyday Etc cards, overlapping the corner of photo with it, and popping some foam tape under the corner to help keep it up off the page. I then added the hello there flair button from set #286 on top.

I added some stickers from the 'Good Vibes Only' Sticky Quotes sheet around my photo as well as some wood veneer pieces. I also added the good vibes only wood veneer further down my page. I decided my page needed a little more black so I added a few black Tiny Sticky Quotes to the page.

To finish off, I added some enamel dots; my handwritten journalling; a few stamped phrases; and some splatters of black ink.

I am super excited to add that I actually made my FIRST EVER process video for this page. I would love for you to pop over and check it out...


Thanks for stopping by today so I could share this with you.
Until next time, happy scrapping!

Unwind | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone

Today I'm bringing some relaxing vibes for your Sunday morning.

I created my background by firstly applying some gloss gel medium though a 

Cool As A Cucumber stencil to create a resist, 

to which I then sprayed over some Prima Color Bloom spray ink.

I then used some Orange Goldfish Flutter Colour Paint through the same stencil 

onto some white cardstock, and fussy cut 

individual words to create some title words.

I created some layers under my photo by using 

some Everyday Etc cards 

from a mix of collections.

I created a cluster using some Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes, 

flair buttons ( set No. 179 and set No. 143), 

a Tiny Kraft Sticky Quote sticker and a page tab. 

 

I added various page tabs, as well as some enamel dots.

I hope my layout has brought some calm and relaxation to your day.

I really wish I was back in the Whitsundays!!

Thanks for looking

Vibes | Belinda Spencer

Hello Flutterby peeps!

Belinda here today to share a layout featuring the Good Vibes Only collection.

'Vibes'

I have used one of the fabulous 12 x 12 papers in this collection for the base of this layout. I am just loving that gorgeous pink! The good news is these papers are still available in the shop HERE. Be quick and grab them while they last!!

I swiped a little gesso over the background with a palette knife to form the central area where my photo and all of the bits and pieces would sit.

I chopped up some of the Everyday Etc Filler Cards in the range and added those before adding my photo with a little 3D foam. Keeping the foam just in the middle of the photo back allows me to then slip lots of cute die-cuts, page tabs and other elements around the sides.

I love the die-cut leaves and flamingo in this range as well as the cute stickers. I like to add the stickers to white cardstock first to strengthen them so that I can use them as embellishments.

I finished with some Tickets, fussy cut arrows from a filler card, an 'awesome' flair button and a fabulous acrylic word.

Here's what I used:

- 12 x 12 patterned paper 'Happy'

- Everyday Etc Filler Cards

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Stickers

- Frame 50

- Page Tabs 'Kraft Notes 4'

- Everyday Etc Filler Cards Colour Me Krafty *CLEARANCE*

- Tickets 'Bright'

- Flair Button No. 264

Beanie Boo Love | Tamara Buckler

Hello Flutterby Friends,

Tamara back here today sharing with you my first layout for September. This one is a bit of a stash buster, but it really came together around the giant title which I love!

The title started with the big 'Boo' which I was able to create using the Large Alpha Set stencil, which I have been eyeing off from in the shop for ages! I traced around the letters with a black sharpie and then filled them in with Flutter Colour Paint in Black Mayhem. I then fussy cut the 'Love' from the Mad About You Everyday Etc Cards to fit in with the giant black lettering. The purple letters were originally some white alphas from my stash, which I painted with some Grape Soda Flutter Colour Paint.

I added some texture to the left of the page by running some modelling paste through the Little Big Love stencil. This then framed where my photo stack needed to be.

I love the way this photo stack worked out. I layered up a heap of Everyday Etc Cards from various collections and in various sizes and colours, and it just pops! I tucked into these layers a heap of page tabs from the Fur Ever Friends collection, which worked in with all the crazy little critters in the picture. 

I also tucked in a Mini Card Fussy Cut which is the 'Awesome' you can see down the left of my picture. I really like how this brings the white of the background to the forefront, and also ties in the rounded edges of the page tabs. 

To embellish the photo stack, I fussy cut a flamingo from a Good Vibes Everyday Etc Card, and added in a Flair Button for good measure! To finish the page off, I added in various Die Cuts from different collections and a good dose of ink splatters. 

Thanks for stopping by today, make sure you jump over and check out the shop, there's a heap of new stencils over there that need to be in your stash!

Big Loves, 

Tam xo
