Fuck This | Sue Plumb

Hi Flutterby peeps!

Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you.

(And I should probably warn you - it features my favourite "sentence enhancer" too.) 

As you may know, the brand new 'Good Vibes' collection was released earlier this week (find all the newest stock in store HERE); so while I was waiting for it to hit my doorstep, I decided to use up some of my older bits and pieces. I had this fabulous photo of my boys on their first day of school that was begging to be scrapped (quite obviously one was more impressed with school than the other was! haha).

I started this page by smearing some Sunshine Yellow Flutter Colour Paint on white cardstock using an old gift card; then I built up the layers on my page using some stamps and black ink.

I then added some Xtreme Teen Everyday Etc filler cards, that I layered together to form a mat for my photo. I also added a ticket from the Xtreme Teen Tickets pack, which I secured with small staples.

It was quite clear what was going through my son's head when I took this photo, so I figured it would make the perfect title for my page. I used (my very last) fuck wood veneer, which I coloured black and paired with some Cocoa Vanilla Studio black alpha stickers.

Below my photo, I added the quote card which was from the Xtreme Teen Everyday Etc card pack - it worked so perfectly for my school photo! Under the quote card I added a phrase sticker from the Blackboard Sticky Quotes; and I also added a few bold enamel dots around my page.

To finish my layout I added a Charms Creations star, which I topped with the fuck this flair button from the Sentence Enhancers flair button set. I also added some wood veneer stars, that I coloured black and placed around my page.

 I am so happy with how this page came out - I am sure it will give my boys a laugh in the future!

That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by. Until next time, happy scrapping!

GUEST DESIGNER - FIONA JELLIE

Hi, it's Fiona again with my last project. I hope you enjoy it.

My starting point was the vintage photo and a fabric doiley I had in my stash.

First, I put a narrow border of two layers of white tissue paper followed by one of the 'We Run The World' Everyday Etc Filler Cards, white brick, around the photo. I then bordered the left side of the photo with a scrap of silk ribbon layered with some lace.

Wanting to add more colour, I used more Everyday Etc Cards on the top, bottom and right hand side of the photo. I went for torn, uneven edges to add more texture and to contrast with the straight edges of the photo.

At this stage I put the doiley underneath it, and using straight stitch, sewed it down with my sewing machine. If you were doing this it would be easier to sew each layer separately.

I then trimmed the doiley to a pleasing size. I added blue sari silk underneath the whole thing, letting it pop out from the edges and be seen through the details of the doiley. This was followed by some thin wadding. I then used the sewing machine to stitch around the edges of the doiley to attach the fabrics and wadding together.

At the top left hand corner I used stranded cotton to make three cross stitch crosses and some colonial knots.

At the bottom right hand corner I clustered a wheel wood veneer,  some words from 'We Run The World' Polaroid Frame, Page Tabs and Tropical Snippet Strips. These were attached with hand or machine stitching. I glued a Flair Button from WRTW Set 2 onto the wood veneer. Again, I sprinkled some hand stitched colonial knots and a cross around it.

Finally, I added a WRTW Page Tab to the right side of the photo. Again, I used the sewing machine to attach it to the project. I finished the piece by sewing some fabric to the back of the project to neater it and give it more support.

I decided to attach my hanging to a wire hanger so I can display it on a wall. It could easily be made into a page for an album or put into a journal. 

I hope you have enjoyed viewing my projects and they encourage you to use supplies in different ways.

Fiona :)

A huge thank you to Fiona for guest DT for

February with us xo

GUEST DESIGNER - FIONA JELLIE

Hi everyone. Fiona here again with another project. I hope you are all getting time to create.

This time I wanted to use all of the scraps of 'We Run The World' Everyday Etc Filler Cards left over from my first project.

I started with cardboard from a packet of pasta. I wanted something that wasn't going to buckle. I then set about gluing the pieces of Everyday Etc Cards and stencilled tissue paper down. Again trying to use at least two pieces of the same pattern. 

Once finished I added small torn pieces of the 'We Run The World' kit washi tape. Finally I glued a couple of the  Mixed Media Circle Fussy Cuts towards the top of the card.

The next step was to draw an outline of a simple body over the collage using a black pen. I also painted white gesso inside the circles. After the gesso had dried I drew simple eyes, a nose and mouth. To finish the face I used  water colours. I worked more heavily with the some colours to give some dimension to the face. One face was left white.

I then covered the background with either watercolour or watered down Flutter Colour paint. 

Finally, I used a black stabilo all pencil to go over the lines of the body and around the head. I activated the pencil with a little water using a fine paint brush. 

I will use these as tip ins in my journals.

"Super Hero Christmas" by Rachel Dutko

Hi everybody

Today I have another share from our Christmas Day last year, 
using the awesome Fair Dinkum Chrissy collection.

I created my background using sprays, and some 
Colour Blast Colour Paste through a 'Mmm Pie' stencil.

I used some Everyday Etc. filler cards as my layers under my photo. 
I've also added 2 Fair Dinkum Chrissy page tabs, and a paper clip 
from the Fair Dinkum Chrissy kit. 

 I've used the cute Santa, as well as some stars, from the  

Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack. I've also used a flair button.

 I've used the 'DEC 25' from the Wood Veneer pack as my title. 

I've also added several 'Kraft' sticky quotes which highlight the crazy fun 
of my photo, as well as some Christmas enamel dots.

  

Don't forget there's only 2 more days until the release of the "Good Vibes Only" collection!

Thanks for looking
Rachel x x

 

Wild Sisters | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey Ladies,

Tamara here today to share another layout with you. This one is a little different for me, a little bit minimalistic and less messy than normal.

I have been loving all the black and white backgrounds that have been getting around lately, and I really wanted to give it a go, but I didn't want to do something I haven't seen before. I flicked through our stencil designs to see if there was a pattern I could replicate freehand, and came up with the 'On the Plus Side' stencil. I used a dry, wide flat brush and some Black Mayhem Flutter Colour Paint, and painted the plus symbol in a grid pattern. I then watered down the paint and flicked it all over the paint to create the black splatters.

I love how this background turned out, and I didn't want to cover it up too much, so I decided to just create lots of layers behind my pics to add interest and texture. I scoured through all of the ranges that I had on hand to find Everyday Etc Cards that matched the colours of my daughter's swimmers. I love mixing up the collections, especially when there is a NEW COLLECTION coming out (26 Feb!!! Don't miss it!) because it feels like I am using up some of my stash to make way for new goodies.

I added a tab that from the 'hello' fussy cuts, as well as one of our Flair Buttons. I altered it using a White Tiny Sticker quote (I have used these under my pic and title as well). I have tucked in some enamel dots as well.

The title is fussy cut from a Wild Bohemian Everyday Etc Cards , and I used the rest of the fussy cut above to create a frame for it to rest upon. I added in some thickers from my stash, and I feel like this pulled in all the beautiful colours from Everyday Etc paper layers.

That's it from me today. Looking forward to sharing with you all again soon!

Big Loves,
Tam xo

# Girl Boss | Belinda Spencer

Hello!!

Belinda here today with a layout to share featuring the awesome We Run The World collection. I have gone for quite a soft look for this layout using the pretty pink and kraft coloured photo cards in the range. I was also inspired by the hexagons on a couple of the photo cards.

'# Girl Boss' 

I started with my standard formula of lovely diluted Flutter Colour Paint for a watercolour effect background. Here I mixed some Raspberry Punch with Arctic White and diluted with water. I spritzed the background with water first to get some pools of liquid to assist the paint in spreading across the cardstock.

I used my hexagon nesting dies to die cut a whole lot of hexagons from the Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards.

I chopped up the # Girl Boss die cut from the Bits & Bobs pack to make it better fit my layout.

I really love that quote which seems to suit the dodgy photo of me. I have cut it into strips and then finished the layout with a flair button, enamel dots and Sticky Quotes.

Here's what I used:

WE RUN THE WORLD:

-Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Flair Buttons Set 2

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Watercolour Sticky Quotes

- Kraft Notes 4 Page Tabs

- Enamel Dots Bold

- Flutter Colour Acrylic Paint Bright Set

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog to check out my layout today. I hope you are feeling inspired to get creating with your own We Run The World stash.

Don't forget this little bit of awesomeness....

I am so excited for this release. I think it is my favourite collection yet.

Cheers

Belinda
