Introducing our April Guest Designer - Paula Perry 'Love This'

This lovely lady has always been a fantastic Flutterby supporter & I am

thrilled to introduce you to Paula :) 

Paula has created a few layouts, that I will be sharing over the next few days.

Her is a bit about her... 

  

"Hello, I'm Paula Perry from beautiful Sydney! I've been scrapping for too many years to remember, after being invited to a Creative Memories party by my sister in law. I've always loved photography & keeping memories, so this was a lovely way to combine the two. I've now been married to my gorgeous man for over 25 years & have 3 scarily grown up kids, who have always been my inspiration & reason for recording our lives. Apart from that, I really do love the creative process of scrapbooking, with my love of stencils, paint & mists, it's a much needed creative outlet for me. If you know my work, you'll know about my love of Flutterby Designs flairs, so I am absolutely thrilled to be joining as Guest Designer this month. The range just gets bigger & better all the time...thank you so much Anita!"

'LOVE THIS'

I've mixed paint with texture paste with my stencil, with the addition of paint it was more 'fluid' so did 'bleed' a bit, but I still love the 'messy' results. I so love these word stencils, they include such uplifting, inspirational words...so perfect for all sorts of backgrounds.

 I also love the wood veneers which I've left plain, they simply look good untouched. 

 I also adore the design of 'Wild Bohemian' photo cards, leaving one of the cards whole to show off it's design, layering others under my photo.

Products Used:

'Wild Bohemian' Everyday Etc cards
'Random Blatherings' Stencil
'Abstract 3' Wood Veneer
Flair button from set no.381
'Wild Bohemian' Page Tabs
'Love This' Wood Veneer 


Remember to check back soon to see more from Paula :)    

Wonder by Lauren Hender

Well all I can say is.... 

I LOVE the new FLUTTERBY PAINTS. The name flutter colour is even fabulous!

With a huge amount of paints on the market I wondered what could be different?.. Well this is what I discovered.

1. Vibrant colour

2. Quick drying

3. Smooth consistency

4. Colour remains the same even when watered down. 

These are some of the issues I've had with other paint ranges on the market but Flutter Colour has come out on top in all areas. 

I had a great time making this layout. I wasn't worried when spreading the paint that I would get an even consistent flow of paint and the results I loved. 

I challenge you to be brave with your flutter colour. I guarantee the results will be amazing. 

Happy Scrapping

"Organised Chaos" by Sharmaine Kruijver

First term of the school year has finished
And school holidays are half over.

Finally time to scrap a page about the first day of school!!

 

 

 

Flutterby Designs has the perfect flair for this occasion

 

 

And the perfect page tabs for our family!

 

 

I created a colour block background, using some of the "Stormy Grey" Flutterby Colour Paint
(Also a wonderful base for my journaling).

 

 

 

Then using the "Stargazed" stencil and some natural sand texture paste mixed with
 "Aquamarine Dream" Flutterby Colour Paint I added some stars.

 

 

The rest of the layout was just about adding more words.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you are inspired to put your memories down on paper
And have fun creating.

Make Today Amazing by Kylie Cornish

A nice and simple layout.

Using only 4 Flutterby Design products you can still make a layout pop! 

Keeping the embellishments simple on this layout. 

Wood Bits Circles 

Flair Button No 275

Using the Every Day etc "Daily Record" Photo Cut Out as my title. 

Adding a background using Words of Wisdom Stencil  help breakup all the white. 

And there you have it a simple layout, that still makes a statement! 

Happy Creating!

My Circus | Krisy Podolak

Life with three under four can be a bit Cray Cray at times and Neet from Flutterby Designs gets that (especially with two of her own) so a lot of her bits and bobs relate to how crazy things can be.  The new Everyday Etc cards have so many cards that relate to crazy family and they all speak to me.  I chose to use the one that reads, "Sometimes I look at my family and I remember they are my monkeys and this is my circus".  This photo of my daughter looking at me upside down shows silly kids can be.  She is just one of the Monkeys in my circus.

I created a crazy bright background by first spreading some black acrylic paint with an old rewards card then adding a layer of stars with Colour Blast colour paste in the colours - Sunshine, Apple of my Eye, Tangareen, Lilac and Deep Water through the Flutterby Designs Star Stencil.  When it was all dry I drizzled some of the NEW red Flutterby Designs paint straight from the bottle in a circle spatter.  This NEW paint is totally amazeballs and the packaging is so user friendly.  The bottles fit nicely in your hand and the hole in the lid is just the right size to allow the paint flow but not gush out.  I will be adding the whole rainbow of colours to my collection very shortly!

I cut up my Everyday Etc card into journal type strips to create by title.  I then used the little big top as part of my embellishment cluster with a wood veneer frame and a Charms Creations Neon Pink Star.  Above the photo I added some Tabs for a bit more detail and it looks like there may be a stack of photos to pull out using the tabs.

There is a process video that goes a long with this layout.  You can head over to Popleopod on YouTube to check it out.  Don't forget to subscribe to see more of my Flutterby Designs layouts.

Cute Quick Cards - By Lauren Hender

Do you every run around at the last minute to find a card for a party or a friend. I know this is me all the time.

Sitting looking at the new release everyday etc cards I came up with an idea to quickly make up a few little cards to have stock.

 Aren't they cute! I have used a love heart cut file. This could also be done with a free hand heart.

I then traced around them with a black fine tip marker.

 To create the card just fold your everyday etc card in half and there you have it. Nice and easy.

To decorate the inside I just adhered two project life cards to the inside.

Hope these inspire you to make a few cards to have on hand in those emergency moments.
