Just Wanna Have Fun ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies,

Chrissi back today with another layout with the new Rad Retro Collection.

I enjoyed playing around to create my background. I used some Flutter Colour Paint, the New Spot On stencil, and my fave Art Foamies to build up my background.

I matted my photo using the Every Day Etc Cards. I went for contrasting colours, after using all that pink in the background.

Before adding my photo, I wanted my background to pop more- I felt it was all blending together. So I added another contrasting colour of Flutter Colour Paint. I really like what this added to the layout.

For my title, this time I used pieces from the die cut Bits and Bobs set, and I couldn't help adding those awesome lips.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I have been creating with the Rad Retro Collection- come back soon to see what else we create.

Livin on a Prayer | Allara Bamforth

Happy Sunday!

I'm excited to be on the blog this morning with the new 'Rad Retro' collection. As soon as I saw this collection I knew I would have to scrap a fabulous photo of my favourite 80s rocker - Jon Bon Jovi, who is still going strong and who I was lucky enough to meet in August! OMG!!

I've started off with black cardstock for this layout and cut into sections one of the 12 x 12 papers 'Pretty in Pink'. Once I stuck down my papers, I've splattered across the background some of the Flutter Colour Paint from the Bright's Set and stamped the Fill It In Art Foamies in Oxide Ink randomly as well.

The photo was then matted in the Rad Retro Filler Cards and I've added various cut outs from the Everday Etc Cards, including the 'Awesome' title under the photo. The fabulous cassette that has 'Livin on a Prayer' conveniently on it was cut from one of the 12 x 12 Paper 'What's Going On'!!. A Rad Retro Flair Button has been added to the bottom right of the photo and a Photo Tab to the top right.

This collection is so fun and colourful. I have so many great pics to go with it and I can't wait to share some more in my next post.

Till then,

RAD | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have a layout to share using the 

brand new Rad Retro collection.

I started with a piece of 'Wicked' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack. 

I added some white gesso then applied some Flutter Colour paints from the Blues Set.

I added some Everyday Etc cards under my photo, 

adding cardboard under each layer to add dimension.

I picked out the RAD word from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack for my title, 

and added it to my layers with some cardboard.

I also added the boom box and speakers.

I also added a flair, and 3 stars from Charm's Creations.

Thanks for looking

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

Chrissi again today with another layout using the new Rad Retro Collection.

This was a picture of me on my way to The Flutterby Create by The Lake 2019 Retreat. Had to stop off and get something for woine rime.

This is a really quick and simple layout, alot different to my usual. Using some Flutter Colour Paint as my base.

 But I loved the Girls just Wanna have fun every day etc card so much, I wanted it to be the main focus of the page. So no real embellishing on here. I kept it very simple.

Don't forget, the new collection is available on the website to purchase now.

Happy Scrapping

RAD ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

With the launch of the new Rad Retro Collection, I have a new project to show you.

This layout would have to be one of my absolute favourites I've ever made. 

I used one of the Every Day Etc Cards as my colour inspiration for this layout. I started with some Flutter Colour paint for my background to match the card. Then using the new This Way Art Foamies, I used black paint to add to my background. 

I was in love with this background from the beginning lol. Then I went through the Every Day Etc Filler cards to find some layers for my photo.

As I love to do often, I have used one of the Every Day Etc Cards for my title. In this case I fussy cut the RAD out and used it for my title. 

I decided I wanted to add more to my title, so I used some alphabet stamps to complete my title.

With my layout and background as busy as it was, I didn't embellish this layout much, but I'm really happy with how it comes together. 

Dont forget to come check out what the rest of the DT do with this fabulous new collection.

Rad Retro is available to purchase from the website.

Happy Scrapping Lovelies

Create | Rachel Dutko

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

Stay Weird ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a page in my brain dump journal for you. This journal is my go between. Its a mix of journalling, art journalling and memory keeping photos. Rightly called my brain dump, as i use it to unload alot of whats going on in my head, as well as adding photos that I love.

I adore this page so much. This was a fun photo taken at a wedding I went to back in August.

I decided to fussy cut the photo to make it more the focus of the page. I've seen Anita do this in her projects and I love the look it gives.

I've used some of my fave Flutterby items in this page. Of course my flutter colour paint to start my background. Then I added my art foamies- we know how much I LOVE using the Flutterby Designs Art Foamies. But my favorite part of this page, is my giant title- I was so happy it fit.

I created this with the fabulous Large Alpha Stencil Set. I traced inside the stencil then filled it in with paint. This is an awesome way to make your own, big titles.

I hope you like my page. Dont forget to come back and check out what the other girls are up to later in the week.

Independence | Allara Bamforth

Good Morning,

I'm back on the blog today with a whimsical design featuring the 'Parent of the Year' collection.

As I like making my own backgrounds, I've used the Flutter Colour Paint to brush some full strokes up the centre of my black card, using colours from the Brights Set. With the 'Migraine Madness' stencil I've sponged some paint through towards the sides of my brushed middle. Using the 'Round Randoms' Art foamies stamps I've stamped a few designs using some of my left over paint as well.

My photo is of my daughter on a swing, so using watered down Artic White, I drawn  myself a tree to hang her swing from.

As usual I've matted my photo with cards from the Everday Etc Filler cards and used the Everday Etc Cards for a title which I've anchored to a sign post from a strip of offcut from the 12 x 12 paper from the We Are Collection. I've once again splattered some of the left over paint around, cause it always looks good on black background and finished off with some Puffy Heart Stickers on the leaves I've drawn with my Posca Pen.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out, as always links back to the products on the Website.

Till Next Post,

You are a Work of Art ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

Chrissi back today. I've recently been having fun with some of my older Flutterby Designs Stash and today I want to share with you a mixed media layout using some of these awesome bits n pieces.

I used my new favourite "Make your Mark' art Foamies, and Flutter Colour paint to make my background. I love the bold coulours and how they pop beautifully against the black and white. Using my brayer, I inked up my art foamies to stamp onto my background, then added my paint streaks.

Using the Every day Etc Cards from a few different collections, I not only matted my photo, but also used a quote card as my title. I adore these cards for titles, so many awesome quotes to use. I also added some Flutterby flair buttons, and enamel dots to finish off my page.

If you would like to see how i made this page, check out the process video here.

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Scrapping

Somedays | Allara Bamforth

Happy Monday!

I'm enjoying having a day off for the long weekend today, hope you are enjoying whatever you are up to today!

Today I'm back on the blog with another layout from the 'Parent of the Year' collection.  I've started with a black card background and dry brushed some Flutter Colour Paint in Grape Soda, Tropicana Teal and Green Limousine on the background.  Over the top of this with the Cobblestone stencil I've sponged through some Artic White.

I've then splattered some of the white and some Sunshine Yellow over the top. Once this is dry I've stamped some designs from the Foam Stamps 'Edgies' with Distress Oxide ink in coordinating colours.

 My photo is then layered with the Everday Etc Filler cards from Parent of the Year. I found the perfect title for my photo in the Everday Etc cards and also added the Parenthood Acrylic title. I've used my white paint pen to highlight and randomly scribble around some of the stamps and titles to add interest. To finish off I've added a heart from the Die Cuts Bits and Bobs. Another easy to put togther layout with fantastic products. As always I've linked everything back to the shop, so that you can look at the huge range on offer.

Till next post,

Unicorn cards | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone! Rachel back with you on the blog today.

Recently I needed to make a card for my niece's 4th birthday, 

and I thought the "Magical AF" collection would be absolutely perfect.

I have made a set of 3 cards to share with you today, all featuring unicorns from the collection.

For my first card I have fussy cut a unicorn from an Everyday Etc card 

and adhered with foam tape. 

I have layered some Everyday Etc filler cards, and a frame.

I just love the cute unicorn on her own so I didn't embellish this card. 

(And she suits my niece to an absolute T.)

For my second card I have lightly sponged all 3 colours from the 

Flutter Colour Paint Pastel set through a Sugar Sprinkles stencil. 

I have fussy cut the unicorn and the words from some Everyday Etc cards.

I have used the pink glitter Everyday Etc filler card, 

and added a hand drawn border.

For my third card I once again fussy cut the unicorn from an Everyday Etc card.

I added some Orange Goldfish Flutter Colour Paint through a star stencil. 

I sponged on some pink Flutter Colour paint to add a halo around the unicorn shape.

I also added an 'Always Be Kind' quote from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack.  

Thanks for looking
