Dream Big, Be Magic | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey FB babes,

I'm up today sharing another super fun layout featuring, you guessed it, the Magical AF collection.

The design for this page was inspired by a layout I spotted over on Instagram ages ago, and I love that it has allowed me to highlight so many of the awesome 12x12 papers.

I began this page by creating some texture on the background by running some texture paste through a couple of Flutterby Stencils. To create the scallops, I traced around a role of washi tape, and then cut them out by hand. I have used the Somewhere over the Rainbow, Secret Garden, Precious Gem, and Waves of Wonder papers to create the scallop banners. 

I added some messy stitching with my sewing machine to adhere the scallop banners to the page, and then added a messy border on each with my trusty sharpie fineliner. I randomly popped some of the circular edges up with foam tape for added dimension.

My photo is matted on a random assortment of Everyday Etc Cards and scraps from the 12x12 papers. I added in some Page Tabs to the left of my photo and tucked in a Die Cut frame under the stack. 

I used more Die Cuts to create my title, starting with the 'Dream Big' around my photo, and the 'Be Magic' to the bottom right. To balance this out, I added another cluster to the top right using more Die Cuts, and a Flair Button from this collection.

To finish off the page, I added some Die Cut hearts around the place, and splattered some black ink for contrast.

I love how this page turned out. Because this collection works so well together, what could have been a very busy and chaotic page, really works with lots of colour and texture.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Beautiful || by Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here again from the design team with my latest share featuring the new and AWESOME Magical AF Collection available in store.

I loved this gorgeous background paper that Anita created, its so colourful and quirky and I was dying to use it on my layout.

Here are some close ups !

To create a feature background, I die cut using the background paper with a gorgeous floral square.

I also layered underneath my photo with some magical-af-filler-cards-everyday-etc-cards and added some magical-af-sticky-quotes.

I also fussy cut out  frame-53-magical-af to create frames for my title and quote.

I made some background squares and Butterfly embellies to go with it, using Distress Oxide Inks and This is Me - Stencil and some stitching.

That's it from me today, I hope you have been inspired to crack open the new collection and get creating.

Hugs 

Elisa

SHINE, Always be You | Allara Bamforth

Greetings!

I'm on the blog today with another layout featuring lots of goodies from the Magical AF collection.

Today I've used the 'Be a Pineapple' stencil with some Gel Medium. Once this was dry I've blended a selection of distress oxide inks over the top to create a lovely magical rainbow effect. Then I've taken the 'Halftone' stencil and blended some vintage photo oxide ink to create a border.

From the 12 x 12 Magical AF paperpack I've cut a selection of frames from the 'Ill Keep You' paper and matted these with various offcuts from the Everyday etc Filler Cards. To the first three frames I've added some paper dolls and then a picture of my eldest daughter when she was about 14 months old. She is now almost 20 but has always been full of beans and a character and half!!! Which is what I wanted to showcase in this layout.

To the last frame I've used the Unicorn from the Sticky Quick Quotes and one of the quotes from the same sheet across the bottom of all the frames.  From the Magical AF Die cuts bits and bobs I've added the Shine title and some hearts for embellishments. In my frames Ive added some watercolur from the oxide inks Ive blended across the bottom. The last bit of the title was cut from the Everyday Etc cards and to finish off I have added some Page tabs to two of the frames.

Thanks for checking out my post once again.

Till next time,

A little bit of Sparkle || By Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest layout featuring the new collection 

from Flutterby  'Magical AF', if you haven't got your hands on this as yet, be quick! 

I don't think it will last long.

To start my layout, I traced a series of circles onto my page and painted them with paints matching the elements in the collection. I added highlights in black and gold foil to add a little shadow and sparkle to my design. 

Then cracking into my stash of older Flutterby Stencils, I used the star stencil and a distress tool with black ink to add star highlights across my page.

Let's take a closer look at the cool AF elements from the new collection!

 Just look at that cute unicorn! I fussy cut him out from the Everyday Etc Cards from the kit and paired with a great Die Cut makes for a great title.

Balance the other side of your layout with your secondary title, 

a cute little unicorn flair button and paperclip from the new kit. Make sure you add some cute little star stickers from the magical-af-sticky-quotes.

Lastly, add some colour and sparkle under your photos by using some of the gorgeous little backgrounds from the Filler Cards and perhaps a page tab or two.

That's it from me today, I hope you have been inspired to try the new collection and perhaps a bit of mixed media to match 😀😀😀😀💗

Hugs xx
