Organised Chaos | Allara Bamforth

Morning! Happy Friday,

I'm up on the blog today with an Art Journal Page using fabulous Flutterby Design Goodies!

When ever I'm creating layouts for the blog, I usually throw any left over paint or use up the paint on my brayer in my Art Journal. This is how this double page came to life! 

The background has been started in this way, using the Flutter colour paint. I've either brayered it on or flicked and smudged it over the spread. I've then used some of the Art Foamie stamps to create some extra background interest, then mixed my paint with some clear Gel Medium and used a variety of stencils to layer it up further.

I love all the quirky sayings and quotes on the Everyday Etc Cards, so using them for your Art Journal pages is a really great idea. As well as cutting out shapes from the Filler Cards.

Art Journal pages are a great way to practice different ideas for your mixed media layouts. Once you have a collection of Flutterby Design stencils, paints and stamps, creating some Art Journal pages is a great way to use your supply.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Till next post,

Hi everyone!

While we are eagerly awaiting the new release this Friday, 

I am digging into my stash and have created 

this layout using the 'Creative Chaos' range.

I have created my background by scraping some Flutter Colour paint 

onto a piece of Kaisercraft pattern paper with a palette knife.

 I fussy cut the 'create' word from an Everyday Etc card.

I also fussy cut the scissors for another embellishment.

I used some Everyday Etc cards to back a cut file from Cut To You.

I also layered some Everyday Etc cards under my photo.

I added a flair, a page tab and some enamel dots.

I also added a star from Charm's Creations.

Don't forget to set your alarms for the new release 'RAD RETRO'

this Friday (22nd November) at 8pm AEDST.

Thanks for looking

Create Everyday ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

Today I wanted to play with some paint, stencils and stamps, but I wanted to make something different. So i decided to make a 12x12 Mixed Media page to hang in my art room.

As well as some new art foamies, I've used some older bits and pieces form the Flutterby Designs Store. I have a pretty decent stash of Flutterby Designs, that I'm always saving for the 'perfect' project- which we know, doesn't exist. So you cant be scared to use your stuff instead of just storing it for one day. Which is what I tried to remember here. 

I started with my Flutter Colour Paints, and started layering those onto some black cardstock. I did start this on white, but I messed it up, and then decided the colours might really pop on some black.

Then to add more layers, I sponged through a flutterby designs stencil, and also used some of my favourite "This Way"-Art Foamies. I use paint with my art foamies, and brayer it onto the stamp to get an even application, and a bold transfer. Once i was happy with my background, I couldn't help but literally throw some white paint splats over the page.

To make a focal point for my page, i fussy cut a quote out of an older set of Every Day Etc cards. I once brought the 'Creative Chaos Kit'- The July 2016 kit. I had some awesome extras in it aswell, and that is where these circles and wood veneer came from. I thought they would be perfect for this wall hanging.

To finish off my page, I wanted to adds some grungy hand drawn lines. To add some texture and contrast. I grabbed my black pen and very roughly scribbled around a few of my different patterns. I love how this page turned out.

Hope you enjoyed my process. See you soon

Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe || by Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans, 

Elisa here from the design team, back from the Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo in Brisbane, barely unpacked and hitting the ground running so to speak!

I am up on the blog today sharing with you my latest layout featuring all sorts of Flutterby goodies, including the new Fill It In Art Foamies Stamps, Flutter Colour Paint and some past kits and bits and pieces.

Here is a few of the Flutterby Designs Products used : - 

Art Foamies 'Fill it in'

flutter-colour-paint-brights-set - yellow and black

product-page/creative-chaos-everyday-etc-cards

everyday-etc-cards

Here are some close ups for the finer details.

For the main title, I fussy cut 'your vibe attracts your' from the Creative Chaos range and added a lovely puffy yellow alpha set from my stash.

Underneath the title, I punched different sized circles from white cardstock and then stamped with the Art Foamies stamps using black Flutter Colour Paint.

I also inked around the edges of all the circles and added yellow paint by using a brayer on my background.

I balanced my layout by cutting into an old Hambly Prints Acetate sheet that featured yellow circles. I added strips of Everyday Filler Cards along with a hand carved banana stamp.

Lastly, I fussy cut a pair of scissors from the Creative Chaos range and added a few bits and pieces to add extra interest etc.

That's it from me today, thanks for stopping by the blog and don't forget to visit the shop and blog to say hi !!!

hugs

Unleash Your Inner Awesome | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey Flutterby Peeps!

Happy Monday, I hope you all had a fab weekend and managed to squeeze in some scrappy time. Today I'm here to share with a layout using a mixed bag of Flutterby products. I have to say it is a real credit to Anita that all of her ranges work so well together, it makes using up your stash so easy and enjoyable! 

I actually started this layout by choosing my photo, which is not always something that I do. For some reason this pic makes me sing 'you spin my head right round, right round' and this became the inspiration for the circles in the background. I traced in pencil around various round objects to get the lines, and then went all scratchy and doodley with a sharpie. To add the colour, I watered down some FlutterColour paint in Grape Soda, Raspberry Punch and Tropicana Teal, and used the packaging technique to roughly add them around the circle pattern. 

This colour combo came from the Everyday Etc Card 'Unleash your inner Awesome' from the Creative Chaos range, as I new I wanted this to be my title. This also inspired the small triangles that run around the circle as the background of this card features triangles. I cut these by hand, and glued them down in the areas of corresponding colour. The photo is matted with more Everyday Etc Cards from various ranges, but still sticking to these 3 main colours. 

The main embellishment cluster to the left of the photo features a saying from another Everyday Etc Card in the Creative Chaos collection, which I fussy cut off the card. The cluster is backed by a frame from the 'Mad About You' Everyday Etc Cards, and features a Flair Button from the Sentence Enhancer range.

I was also able to include some Page Tabs from the Fur-ever Friends collection. This was a total win, because we aren't cat people, but this pic is of my daughter getting ready to play the Cheshire Cat, so 'Crazy Cat Lady' worked perfectly!

I added a second cluster to the top right of my circles, using a White Sticky Quote, a Flawsome Die Cut and some enamel dots,  in order to balance off the page, and with that it was done!

 

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my layout. Let me know if you have any questions about creating this background, it was a fun one!!

Big Loves

The Queen of all the Colours & ART not everyone will understand | Krisy Podolak

Hi Flutterby Lovelies,

Krisy back today, and I can tell you that right now I would be at "Create By the Lake" chilaxing and sucking in some creative juices from all the ladies around me.  This blog was written in advance but I know I will have some wicked layouts to share coming very soon to the blog.

Anyways, todays share is all about me.  I don't scrap about me very often as my own person, but I'm trying to include "Me" a bit more.

The Extreme Teen collection had a few cards that really described me.  Maybe I just am not ready to fully adult yet.  Actually, I know I don't want to be a full adult EVER.

I haven't really ever left my teenage goth phase behind, black is still my go to colour to wear.  So, the "Black is my Happy Colour" card from the Everyday Etc Card pack was perfect for me.  I also have the mouth of a well educated sailor so a little bit of censorship and Parental Advice is required for some people that meet me in real life.  I have always been that way.

My Knucklehead stencil is my very favourite ever.  I love Skulls and bones.

Here is another layout about me and my latest addition to my body art.  I used the Fragmented Stencil to add some details to my background and then I used an Everyday Etc Card from the Creative Chaos Collection.  I also inked a bit of wood veneer with Stayzon to add #this is awesome to the bottom right hand corner of the page.

That's it from me today.

{create} Like a Boss with Belinda Spencer

Hello Flutterby peeps!!

Belinda here today to share another layout created with the 'Creative Chaos' kit.

{create}

I started with a base of kraft cardstock which is my favourite!

I mixed up my own pretty pink colour using Raspberry Punch and Arctic White Flutter Colour paints. I used a foam brush to swipe that colour across my background concentrating on where I was going to layer on the photo and filler cards as well as my photo.

Next I added some stencilling using the 'Bubble O' Fun' Mini Stencil. I used a make up wedge to add the gesso lightly over the stencil. I also used a wet paintbrush to flick some of the pink paint over the background. The white splatters were added using a white Posca paint pen.

I layered on a combination of soft pink and kraft coloured filler photo cards to co-ordinate with the soft colours of my photo. 

Finally I added my title and embellishments.

Here's what I used:

Creative Chaos:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Sticky Quick Quotes

Wood veneer:

- {create}

- Remember Bubble

- Confetti Circles

- Page Tabs 2

- Small Hearts

Flutter Colour:

- Arctic White

- Raspberry Punch

Mini Stencils

Snap 2 Fussy Cuts

Short, sharp and shiny from me today! I do hope you feel inspired to create something yourself with your Flutterby stash. Make sure you share your lovely creations in the Facebook Inspiration HQ group.

Cheers

Creative Chaos Two Ways with Belinda

Hello Flutterby peeps!!

Belinda here today to share my first post for the month featuring the fun and funky 'Creative Chaos' collection

A little birdie told me that there are only a few of these kits left so cyber RUN over HERE to get yours quick!!

You will see how very versatile this awesome kit is with the two layouts I have created in the chaos that is my desk. My first layout is a very soft and pretty layout showcasing the sweet and lovely side of the range. My second layout is the polar opposite and crosses over to the dark side. SPOILER ALERT!! It also features many 'sentence enhancers'.

Firstly, the sweet one.

'Beautiful' Layout

Such pretty, soft pastel colours! I began by adding some texture to my background with texture paste and the I {Heart} You Mini Stencil. I then mixed up my colour with Flutter Colour paints to match the hoodie my daughter is wearing in the photo. I diluted the paint HEAPS to create a watercolour effect on my background and flicked some of the colour over the surface too. I also coloured a white doily with the same colour and added on top.

Next I shuffled around some photo cards and filler photo cards until I had a nice mix and layered them together. A quick staple holds them all in place for me until I am ready to stick down on my layout. Then I added my photo, a frame from the 'Honey' Fussy Cuts, my title and a scattering of cute embellishments.

Here's what I used:

CREATIVE CHAOS:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Page Tabs

- 'White' Tiny Sticky Quick Quotes

- 'White' Sticky Quick Quotes

- Enamel Dots - Neon

WOOD VENEER:

- Beautiful

- Small Hearts

FLUTTER COLOUR:

- Arctic White

- Orange Goldfish

- Raspberry Punch

Mini Stencil I {Heart} You

'Honey' Fussy Cuts

Next up is the 'dark' one featuring a photo of me!

'Me' Layout

Told you it was dark! LOL I just LOVE that new 'You've Got This' Stencil. I swiped some texture paste over it and then when it was dry sprayed on a whole lot of water and mist to co-ordinate with my photo and the filler cards I had already chosen to use.

I outlined some of the stencilled words using a fine black Posca Pen to make them stand out a bit more and then layered on a whole lot of stuff!

Here's what I used:

CREATIVE CHAOS:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- 'Purple Polaroid' Photo Cut Out

- Page Tabs

- 'White' Sticky Quick Quotes

- 'Blackboard' Sticky Quick Quotes

WOOD VENEER:

- Confetti Circles

- Page Tabs 2

- 'You've Got This' Stencil

- Enamel Dots - Neon

Thankyou so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope my projects have gotten you inspired to create some chaos in your own space!

Cheers
