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,

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
Belinda Spencer

Us Together | Sue Plumb


Hi everyone!
It's Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you. Today I have a mixed media scrapbook layout featuring the new 'We Are' collection and Flutter Colour paints. It also features a fun (part) family snap I took a few months ago...we are so not normal! haha


I started my page with white cardstock and Flutter Colour paints in Cotton Candy Pink, Tangerine Orange, and Yellow Zest. I thinned these down slightly and used a brush to create a rough painted background, blending the colours as I went. I then used Arctic White and applied it with a brayer to the focal area of my page to strip the colour back a bit. 


After I had the paint down, I used the 'Happily Ever After' stencil with some acrylic modelling paste, then dried it off with a heat gun. 

I then cut some pieces from some of the 'We Are' Everyday Etc filler cards and layered them together to form a mat for my photo, along with some small torn pieces of washi tape from my stash.


Once I had the paper pieces in place, I used the 'XO' stencil (unfortunately, no longer available);grey StazOn ink and a dauber to apply some XOs to several areas of my page. (You could use any small pattern stencil for this, it was simply to bring a little darkness into the page.)

I then added a paper doily and some frayed gauze to my paper layers before adding my photo on top.


Tucked in around the top right corner of my photo I added a manila luggage tag tied with twine; the this is us page tab; and the large heart I had fussy cut from one of the 'We Are' Everyday Etc cards. The die cut word together that I added onto my photo came from the 'We Are' Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack.


Below my photo I added the normal family quote I had also fussy cut from another of the Everyday Etc cards; along with the yellow heart sticker from the 'We Are' Sticky Quotes sheet; and the small LOL sticker from the white Tiny Sticky Quotes sheet.


To the left of my photo I created another cluster using a Charms Creations DIY heart, topped off with the family fun flair button from the 'We Are' flair buttons set #1 and another Tiny Sticky Quote.

I finished off my page with a splattering of Colour Blast 'Soot' Colour Artist Ink and some stamped phrases using a Typo roller stamp.

Thanks for stopping by today so I could share this with you. Don't forget to stop by the Flutterby store to see what's new, including some awesome ideas for Christmas gifts! Check them out HERE
Until next time, happy scrapping!

Five Years | We Are | Adele


Hey scrappy peeps,

I was so excited to dive into the rad new "We Are" collection this week! I love the sayings and tiny word strips included in the collection and definitely wanted to include those in today's project.



To celebrate my five year wedding anniversary today, I decided to document a pic of hubby and I in my junk journal.



I created a four page spread listing some of our biggest milestones we've achieved together to match the card from the Everyday Etc card set.




I have also created a process video for these pages which I hope you will enjoy!

Happy scrapping :)

Love Our Adventures | Allara Bamforth

Happy Hump Day,

Very excited to be back on the blog today with the new 'We are Family' collection!


For the background of this page I've used the 'Weathered Love' 12 x 12 page and cut a strip from the 'Unconditional' page from We are Family.  I have then layered a couple of the We are Family Everyday Etc Filler Cards and one of the quotes from the Every day Etc Cards. Using some of the Artic White and Raspberry Punch Flutter Colour Paint, I've used my brayer to smoosh some of it around and then randomly drip some of white around.  I mixed some of the Raspberry Punch paint with some gel medium and put this through the Confettti Cubes stencil.

To accent the page I've added a Flair Button , Die Cut Bibs and Bobs and Sticky Quotes from the We are Family range. Finished off with some Enamel dots and giant LOVE die cut.

Really love this fun new collection and if you like anything you see in the layout - click the link and it will take you over to the shop.

Till next post,

We Are Family | Rachel Dutko



Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today, with my first layout using the 
amazeballs new "We Are" collection.



I started my layout by dry-brushing some Tropicana Teal  
Flutter Colour Paint onto some white cardstock.



 I layered some Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.
 I also added some hessian that I had on my desk.



I added the 'We Are Family' acrylic piece, and added a 
trimmed Everyday Etc filler card underneath.



I fussy cut 3 hearts from some Everyday Etc cards for some added embellishments.



I also added a flair, page tab and a house and page tab from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack.




Head over to the store to check out this awesome new collection, but be quick!! 
 
Thanks for looking

This is Love | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey Flutterby peeps,

I'm up today sharing with you my first layout using the new 'We are' collection. I just love love love this collection! The colours are so bright and bold, and the phrases and stickers are so applicable to family life.



I started this layout by selecting the 'Messy Memories' 12x12 Paper Pack, this purple just sang to me as I was working on some photos of my girls checking out the gorgeous Jacaranda trees in Grafton recently. I smeared some gesso in a cross shape to the left of the page, and then used the 'xo' stencil to draw on the background.


I layered up lots of the Everyday Etc Cards behind my photo pulling in lots of the bright colours from the collection. I tucked in one of the frames from the 'Frame 52' cut apart sheet, because this really worked in with the amazing title piece from the Die Cut Title set.


The Die Cut title set is new in this collection, and I love how versatile the set is - you can change in the background piece and the die cut piece to create multiple title combinations. It is so easy to fussy cut the background piece, but you can leave it and just add the die cut piece over the top.


I used lots of pieces from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack to embellish the page, and another piece from the 'Frame 52' cut apart sheet.




One of the great things about the Flutterby products is that the collections all work in together, the flair button I have added to the page is an older design from the '403' Flair Button set, and it works pefectly!



Thanks for stopping by today to check out my page, and make sure you jump over to the shop and grab what you want from this range, because it is selling out fast!

See you next time!

Big Loves,
Tam xo
