We Are Family | Belinda Spencer

Hey peeps!

Belinda here today to share a layout created using the brand new stunning We Are collection.

'We Are Family'

I so love that woodgrain paper from the 12 x 12 Paper Pack! I cut that to size and then added some stencilling using the All You Need Is Love Stencil and some Tropicana Teal Flutter Colour Paint. I added some stamping too.

Next I shuffled around the Everyday Etc Filler Cards until I had the right combination, trimmed to size and layered under my photo.

I slipped in the fabulous camera that I fussy cut from one of the cards. I added in the a fussy cut from the Snap 1 pack as well as some page tabs.

To finish I added my trademark sprinkling of enamel dots as well as a ticket from the Bright Tickets set and some Sticky Quick Quotes.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are feeling inspired to grab your We Are stash and have a play.

Cheers

Beautiful You | Belinda Spencer

Hey Flutterby peeps!!

Belinda here today to share  my latest layout featuring a sweet mix of slightly less recent Flutterby products that I have been hoarding in my stash.

'Beautiful You'

I have gone for a minimalist look on this layout with very little mixed media. Just to show that it is ok to keep it clean sometimes. 

I used the Shine Bright Like A Diamond Stencil along with a black journalling pen on my background.  I diluted the Green Limousine and Tropicana Teal Flutter Colour Paints with water and flicked some droplets over the background. I tore a strip from a Blank Palette Everyday Etc Filler Card with the same pattern as the stencil and slipped that into my stack of chopped up filler cards.

I used some filler cards from the Mixed Lines set which I cropped to size to sit behind my tiny photo. You can find these cards in the store HERE and the good news is that they are currently on sale. Winning!

I slipped a stencil word in to the right of my photo and slightly underneath it to hide the staples that I secured it with.

I have also used a Super Cool Page Tab, some stars fussy cut from the Stars Photo Cut Out sheet, the Frame 8 Photo Cut Out, words cut from the Cool Snippet Strips, Green Sticky Alphas and Neon Enamel Dots.

Well that's all from me today. I hope you are feeling inspired to keep it clean on your own layout and try a minimalist look. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.

Cheers

Stay Wild | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

For my share today I am trying my hand at scrapping a super-sized photo! 

My photo is 8" x 12", so a super-sized photo calls for super-sized embellishments!

This was a bit of a stash-busting layout for me - I've used lots of elements from 

various Flutterby collections, 

but they all work so well together and can be combined easily 

as each collection reflects Anita's unique and identifiable style. 

I've used some Everyday Etc cards to add some quotes to my page - 
the 'Stay Wild' and 'Always Find Adventure' from the Super Cool collection 

and the 'Today We are Making Memories' from the  
Good Vibes Only Everyday Etc cards.

I have used some co-ordinating Everyday Etc filler cards as layering pieces.

I have also added the 'Toys Not Included' quote from the Fair Dinkum Chrissy Bits & Bobs pack. 

I have added a flair, page tab, some washi from the Good Vibes Only kit and some Snippet Strips.

Thanks for looking

Hello Summer | Belinda Spencer

Hello hello!

Belinda here with you today to share a layout created with the totally fabulous Good Vibes Only collection.

'Hello Summer'

This layout was completely inspired by my son's awesome pineapple skull t-shirt so of course I had to start with the brilliant Knucklehead stencil. This would have to be my favourite stencil ever so I use it at every opportunity. I simply swiped some texture paste over it and let it dry.

Next I stapled on some layers of Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards and topped with a Photo Card from the range as well as my photo.

Then I layered on as many embellishments as I could fit because the embellies in this collection are so cool!!

I liked the 'one of a kind' quote from the Cool Snippet Strips because my darling son really is. It also gave me the idea to turn one of the texture paste skulls into a one of a kind so I doodled around it with black pen to match the skull on my son's t-shirt. The sunglasses come from the Good Vibes Only Sticky Quick Quotes sheet and just fit the skull perfectly. 

Here's what I used:

GOOD VIBES ONLY:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Sticky Quick Quotes

- Wood Veneer Bits

- Page Tabs

- Flair Button

- Washi Tape

- Salty Seas 12 x 12 Paper

Cool Snippet Strips

Knucklehead Stencil

Wood Veneer Page Tabs

Enamel Dots Neon

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today peeps. I hope you are feeling inspired now to have a play with your own stash of Flutterby goodies. Make sure you share your beautiful projects in the Inspiration HQ Facebook Group so we can leave some love.

Beautiful | Belinda Spencer

Hello Flutterby Designs peeps!

Belinda back again to share another layout for the month featuring the completely fabulous 'We Run The World' collection.

I love this collection so much and especially that it represents strong women. So of course I had to use a photo of the fierce, kind and beautiful small female child that I am lucky enough to call my daughter.

'Beautiful'

How gorgeous is that background paper?!!! I think it is my absolute favourite of the brand new 12 x 12 papers. The design is so good.

I started by squirting some Tropicana Teal paint over the 'Connie' paper and then swooshed it around with a palette knife until I had enough coverage.

I played around with some of the Filler Photo Cards to create some layers under my photo. 

I added a sweet cluster of embellishments including an awesome flair button, a heart fussy cut from the Connie paper and a Charm's Creations black and white heavenly heart.

I used the acrylic word 'beautiful' as a mask to create my title. I held the word in place carefully with my fingers on a piece of white cardstock while I used a latex make-up wedge to blot the Tropicana Teal paint around it. Check out this progress shot.

I have to admit that when I took the mask away there was a little paint bleeding so I used a white Posca paint pen to tidy up and colour the whole word. I then placed the acrylic word back over the top and used a fine black pen to create a black outline. Finally I fussy cut the whole thing with just a small teal border.

Of course I had to add a bunch of page tabs and snippet strips too. 

Here's what I used:

WE RUN THE WORLD:

- Connie patterned paper

- P!NK patterned paper

- Page Tabs

- 'beautiful' acrylic word

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Flair Buttons Set 1

- 'Cool' Snippet Strips

- 'Monochrome' Snippet Strips

- Flutter Colour Paint Tropicana Teal

Well that is all from me today. Make sure you head over to the shop to grab yourself some of the stunning 'Limited Edition' 12 x 12 patterned papers before they run out.

Cheers

Bad Ass | Belinda Spencer

Happy Saturday Flutterby Peeps!

Belinda here today to share a layout featuring the brand new fabulous We Run The World collection.

This layout focuses on the soft pinks and kraft contrasted with the striking black and white designs in the range.

'Bad Ass'

Of course I had to use this super embarassing photo of me messing about with neon pink zinc cream on my lips. I think my kids may have dared me to put it on and well a dare is a dare!

I started this layout by adding a soft wash of diluted Flutter Colour paint. I mixed together some Raspberry Punch with Arctic White to co-ordinate with the soft pinks in the photo cards. Once dry, I added some texture with the Sugar Sprinkles Stencil and some Golden Light Molding Paste.

I layered on some filler photo cards and embroidery thread as well as some chopped up quotes from the photo cards.

I finished by adding some embellishments, page tabs and sticky quick quotes.

Here's what I used:

WE RUN THE WORLD:

- P!NK Patterned Paper

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Sticky Quick Quotes

- Sugar Sprinkles Stencil

- Page Tabs

- Flair Button Set 2

-Page Tabs Kraft Notes 4

- Photo Cut Outs Speech Bubbles 3

- Watercolour Sticky Quick Quotes

- Flutter Colour Paint Brights

- Wood Veneer Confetti Circles

I hope I have inspired you to create something with your own stash of this awesome range. Make sure you share your project in the Facebook Inspiration Group HERE so we can leave some love.

Oh and the deadline is looming to get your applications in to be a part of the most fun and awesome design team around. You still have the weekend so get cracking!! :-)

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a great weekend.

Today | Belinda Spencer

Hello Flutterby Designs peeps!!

Belinda here today to share a boy layout using a mix of different collections.

'Today' Layout

I am really loving creating in this A4 format now. My layouts just seem to come together quicker and easier. That could also be because of the awesome product from Flutterby of course!! So easy to play with.

Just for something different, I decided to use three tiny photos on my layout instead of the usual one only. I love these photos so much I couldn't just choose one! Anyway, the series of photos shows exactly what it is like trying to get a decent photo from this child of mine. LOL To be honest though these are the type of photos I love the most.

I have added a sweet scattering of enamel dots and wood veneer stars across my layout.

I fussy cut the title and this quote from the Everyday Etc 'Blank Palette' Photo Card Set. I layered some Filler Photo Cards from the 'Super Cool' Set under my photos.

I began my layout in my usual way. First I added texture using the Dangerously Dapper Stencil and Texture Paste. Once dry, I spritzed on quite a bit of water before squirting some of the Tropicana Teal Flutter Colour Paint. I spritzed a litle more water over the top of the paint and then used my fingertip to spread the paint and mix it with the water a bit more. I used a scrunched up paper towel to dab away the excess paint and liquid on the layout before leaving to dry.

I used a Charm's Creations Emoji Embellishment too. I jazzed it up a little using a die cut to add the hat, moustache and glasses. Too cute!

Well I hope you have been inspired by my layout today to create your own boy layout using fabulous Flutterby Designs products.

Make sure you pop back soon for more amazing inspiration from the Flutterby Design Team.

Cheers

I added lots of layers under my photo using some Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards, Page Tabs, embroidery thread and some chipboard from my own stash.

I painted my chipboard pieces using the gorgeous Grape Soda paint. Love that colour! Plus it is such a luscious paint that it covers the chipboard really well.

I added some sticky quotes and enamel dots too for extra interest.
