Hot Chocolate by Sharmaine Kruijver

Some of you would have already received your new Flutterby Designs products.
Have you had a chance to play?
I just love the new stencils
And went a little starry eyed for this one.

I layered up some wood bits

 

Adding a flair and enamel dots
(because I love them both equally!)



A little bit of scissor action,

Cutting out a Page Tab

And I cut an Everyday Etc Card into strips
And layered them behind my photo.




Happy creating

Hi Flutterby Beauties,

 It's my turn to take the reins of the Flutterby blog and share my very first Design Team Creation.  

I'm so freaking excited to be apart of this team and can't wait to show you what I can do with these beautiful products Neet has created.

This layout I created using a photo I have had printed for over a year and sitting in a pile on my desk but I just couldn't decide what to do with it.  It was taken on my Husbands birthday when we were still a family of four.  The photo is a little bit of a fun one with everyone singing 'Happy Birthday', so when I received my 'Everyday Etc' cards 'daily record' set, I knew what I wanted to do.

I took the card with the drawings on it and used it a matte stack behind my photo.  I cut it into random sizes and stacked them behind the photo.  I love the drawings they are just so funky.

To make the layout mine, I used a bit of mixed media Colour Blast paste through a diamond stencil from my stash to add a bit of colour to the background.  Then I added my signature texture - gyprock tape and thread.

To tie in a bit of birthday, I used some paper straws cut in half. I cut them in half to prevent bulk to the page.  Finally my title is some wood veneer that I half inked and applied some Colour Blast embossing powder.  The trick here is to apply two layers - it makes the colour pop more.

The final touch is the #happy flair.  I LOVE FLAIR! oh and a page tab and enamel dots.

And that all from me today - I will be back towards the end of the month with a little something else I have been working on.

Go Sarah Go by Kylie Cornish

I'm back! its my turn again!

WOW hasn't the work by the girls been amazing so far...See I said I felt very lucky to been on a DT team with such talented ladies and there is still more to come.

What is your thought process to creating a layout??

Do you grab the embellishments first or the Photo/Photos?

I normally grab the photo/s firsts and then the embellishments next. 

The one great thing with Flutterby Designs, is that there are a great variety of embellishment to use and in my awesome Flutterby stash I can grab the embellishments I need straight away.  

I truly love using the 6x4" Photo Cut Outs with Matt finish. These are great for adding layers to your scrapbook layouts without the bulk. Just cut them out with scissors.  

Every Flair you purchase from Flutterby Designs is hand made. 

1.5mm thick Baltic Birch Veneer  is what the wood bits are made from and all of the designs are EXCLUSIVE to Flutterby Designs.

Flutterby Design Products used on this layout are.

Photo Cut No.90

1" Flair Buttons 6 No 71

WOOD BITS - Wood Veneers 9  Confetti Circles

So I personally believe no mater what project you are making, Flutterby will have what you are looking for. 

I really look forward to sharing my next creation with you all.

Happy scrapping 

'Super Star Everyday' By Lauren Hender

Oh my goodness.. It is 2016 and I am sharing my first DT project for the year.

I am so excited about the year ahead. I hope you all are too.

Flutterby Flairs, Chipboard, photo tabs and everyday etc cards have come together in this layout to celebrate my beautiful boy graduating year 6 and on to high school.

I used lots of layers to create one main cluster and a small cluster section.

Be confident with your journaling. It is important to share the memories and showcase your hand writing.

I hope your new year is fabulous and your hopes for 2016 come true.

Goodbye 2015 by Sharmaine Kruijver

Hi-dee-ho Flutterbyers.

Hope your 2016 has started out a-ok.

Have you made grand plans for the year or are you like me...
just waiting to see how it unfolds?

There are exciting things happening here at Flutterby with Anita already
sneaking us little peeks of what new releases there are for this month.

What have you seen so far?

What are you excited about?

What are you hoping she might have up her sleeve for the year??

I wanted to share with you my favourite techniques used to create a page,
celebrating the end of 2015.
(As seen in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine Vol 19 No.6)

Altering wood veneer, in particular Flutterby Designs wood bits, is one of my all time faves. 

 

It's as easy as adding some nail polish or as mess free as a sharpie pen.

I also used some wood bits to add some height to some Flutterby Designs enamel dots

See the whole circles? The extra bits from the middle of the circles (found HERE)?
I just placed an enamel dot on top, an adhesive dot underneath and... job done!

Make sure you check out the Facebook group for more info on the new releases
and other Flutterby Design news.
Have a creative 2016 everyone.

Cuppa by Kylie Cornish

Hello Flutterby Designs lovers! 

Kylie here today with my first Design Team share!! 

First of the rank as they say. 

I am totally thrilled to be a part of this awesome team and I look forward to working with Anita and the girls sharing amazing products, that are a must have in any scrapbookers stash.

One of my most favourite items in store would have to be the abundance of Flair! 

With this layout I used the No. 198  flair. The black and white couple themed was perfect for this layout about hubby and I stopping for a coffee on our weekend away. 

I also loved the matching wooden bits that accompanied the flair perfectly.

Other Flutterby Designs products used on this layout are:

Words of Wisdom Stencil

6x4" Photo Cut Outs No. 90

I really look forward to sharing my next creation with you all.

Happy scrapping
