Back To The 80s | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have another layout to share using the 'Rad Retro' collection.

It was perfect timing that my son's end-of-year school concert 

had an 80s theme this year. 

I can still hear the music to "I'm Still Standing" in these photos!!

I used the 'Warm Hug' paper from the Parent Of The Year 12x12 paper pack as my base.

I then added some of the 'Expo 88' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack.

I fussy cut the 'Back to the 80s' from an Everyday Etc card to use as my title.

I added a layer of cardboard to bring the words up out of the dotty layer.

 

I also fussy cut the 'Totally Awesome 80s' record 

and again backed it with some cardboard to add some dimension.

I added a couple of flair buttons, some snippet strips, as well as some Die Cut Bits & Bobs.

Thanks for looking

This Is Home | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

To create the mixed media background for my page I started by adding 

some strips of the "Waves Of Wonder" 12x12 paper 

to some white cardstock with some gel medium.

I used a black pen to add detail to the circular lines of the paper.

I then added some flicks of Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink, 

and sponged on some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish.

The next step was to add some stamping of dark blue acrylic paint 

with a "Round Random" Art Foamie stamp.

With the background done, I painted some 'days of the week' wood veneers with black gesso.

I then added some "We Are" Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

I fussy cut the house and the word 'home' from some "We Are" Everyday Etc cards. 

I cut the 'this is' from a "Happily Ever After" Everyday Etc card.

I've also added an arrow from Charm's Creations, a page tab and a Snippet Strip.

Unique | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout using the 'Magical AF' collection.

For this layout I've pulled out some purple and pink tones to combine with black.

To create my mixed media background I started by swiping some 

purple acrylic paint onto white cardstock with an old gift card. 

I then applied some modelling paste through a 'Words Of Wisdom' stencil.

I used the 'unique' stencil word as my title, over some strips of 

Everyday Etc cards and cardstock.

I also added a snippet strip.

I layered some Magical AF Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

I added a flair button, some page tabs and some stickers.

I also added a heart from Charm's Creations.

I finished my page with some purple ink splatters.

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'!

We Are Family | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey Flutterby Friends,

Tamara back today sharing another super fun layout using the 'We Are' collection - this collection is proving to be soooo versatile and just keeps giving and giving.

I am so in love with this layout, it is so bold and has such high contrast between the 'Organised Chaos' 12x12 paper and the rainbow elements around the page. I cut the word FAMILY out of the background paper using my Silhouette, trying to match the font to one that pops up in the Everyday Etc Cards. I backed FAMILY with various Everyday Etc Cards, creating a reverse rainbow with the colours.

I backed my photo with more of the Everyday Etc Cards, and a frame that I fussy cut. I adhered this directly to the background, as I have popped up the 'We Are' part of the title to give some definition.

I have added in a lot of bits and bobs from this collection, as well as some wood veneer, flair buttons,  snippet strips, and enamel dots. This keeps the rainbow feeling going across the whole page, again working on that contrast and interest.

I even cut out some of the little preview images from the cover sheet in the Everyday Etc Cards. Why have I not thought of this before?!?! It gives you a heap of mini cards to play with! So cute!

I finished off the page with some ink splatters and some squiggly lines around my title.

I seriously love how this page has turned out! I'm on such a role with my layouts at the moment, I've even got my next share ready - love it when a collection just sets your mojo on fire!

Thanks for stopping by!

Crazy Good Together | Rachel Dutko

Hi everybody, and a Happy New Year to you all!

Today I am sharing my first project for 2019 for Flutterby Designs.

I am using the fun 'We Are' collection to document these fun photos of my sons 

getting ready for their end-of-year school concert last year.

I have added a strip of paper from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, then layered 

some Everyday Etc filler cards under my photos for a pop of colour.

For my title I added the 'crazy' word from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack 

as well as a phrase fussy cut from an Everyday Etc. card.

I added some stickers from the Sticky Quotes, a page tab, and a flair button. 

I also added a circle from Charm's Creations.

I've added a couple of phrases from the 'Monochrome' Snippet Strips set.

I've finished off the page using the Starstruck stencil, 

splatters and some wood veneer stars.

Thanks for looking

Hey Hello Crazy Kids | Tamara Buckler

Hello Flutterby Friends,

So happy to be back with you for my latest share, getting sooo close to the end of the year now! Can you believe it?!

Today I am sharing a layout featuring the new 'We Are' range - how awesome are new goodies!!! This is my second layout using this range, and I really just can't get enough of it!

This page is using the 'We Are' 12x12 paper from the Paper Pack. The colour swatches on this paper are so fun, and I love that they use so many of the Flutterby colours that we are used to but mixes in so many more. 

I tore this paper in half, just to calm things down a bit as my photos are very busy, and used kraft cardstock for the rest of my background. I also added quite a bit of white gesso behind my photos for the same reason, and then added in some white stripes using modelling paste through the Large Alpha Stencil.

I layered up my photos using lots of Everyday Etc Filler Cards, as well as one of the 'This is Awesome' Fussy Cuts.  Here and there I tucked in some 'We Are' page tabs, and some older Snippet Strips, just for added interest amongst the layers.

I created the title using a combination of Mini Fussy Cuts, white sticky alphas, and 'We are' sticky quotes and Die Cuts. I love mixing all these elements, and I think it really works to tie all the photos together in their wonky grid.

And then, of course, I needed to add in one of the new Flair Buttons, because, why not?! (and also because perfect match for their crazy helmets!)

I tucked in more stickers around the place, and then added Enamel Dots here and there to complete the page.

I love how bright and fun this page is, and super pumped that I got to document a whole lot of photos, rather than my usual one!

Make sure you jump over the shop and check out the new range, a lot of it selling out quite fast!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Big Loves,

Love | Belinda Spencer

Hello Flutterby peeps!!

Belinda here today to share my first layout featuring the stunning brand new range 'We Are'. 

I have chosen to work with a soft palette from the range including pinks and woodgrain for a pretty combination. There are some amazing brights in the collection too that I am looking forward to playing with for my next layout.

I started this layout by adding some subtle stencilling using the 'All You Need Is Love' Stencil and heavy white gesso to the pretty pink 'Unconditional' patterned paper. Once dry, I diluted some Raspberry Punch Flutter Colour Paint with water and flicked over the background.

Next I added the 'Confetti Circles' and 'Wheels' Wood Veneer pieces to the page. I glued the white outline onto the woodgrain 'Love' title from the 'We Are' Die Cut Title Set and then fussy cut. I attached the die cut title to the brick wall filler card from the 'We Are' Everyday Etc Cards and then layered on some small pieces cut from the Filler Cards. 

Next I added the photo using 3D foam and slipped in a 'We Are' Page Tab as well as the lovely frame from the 'We Are' Die Cut Bits & Bobs.

I added a few fun embellishments on the right hand side of my photo including a 'We Are' Flair Button and a 'Word Speech Bubbles' Wood Veneer. I chopped up a quote from the 'We Are' Everyday Etc Cards and added that along with some words cut from the 'Tropical' Snippet Strips. Finally I added a sweet sprinkling of enamel dots from the Bold Enamel Dots Set.

I feel totally inspired by this gorgeous collection and I can't wait to get stuck into my next layout.

Thank you for stopping by the blog. I hope you are feeling inspired to play with your Flutterby Designs stash too.

Cheers

Belinda
