Our Newest DT Member....SUE PLUMB!!!

WELCOME OUR NEWEST

DT MEMBER...

We have a new member joining the Flutterby Designs DT,

it is the gorgeous, Sue Plumb!

I am so thrilled she's jumping on the team to

showcase our products & show you with

her scrapping style.

"I am a SAHM of three (daughter Brielle, 8 and twin sons Hunter and Kaden, 4)

and live in the gorgeous Glass House Mountains in Queensland.
I have been scrapping for approximately 7 years, having started after the birth

of my daughter. I took an extended break after the premature arrival of my boys,

and these days my biggest scrapping struggle is trying to find time with two

rowdy boys underfoot!
I currently design for Australian manufacturer Cocoa Vanilla Studio (online store),

D-Lish Scraps (online store), Scrap the Boys challenge blog, and Show Us Your Stuff challenge blog. I have also had work published regularly in Scrapbooking Memories magazine. My style can best be described as varied - sometimes it may be clean and linear, and at other times messy and eclectic. What can I say? I like to keep things interesting!

I am so thrilled to be a designer for Flutterby Designs, as I have been a fan of Anita's products since the very beginning! I hope I can inspire you with what I have created."

Art Journal Page "Remember to Create" by Kylie Cornish

Hello Flutterby peeps!!

Today I am sharing a page from my art journal.
This page was inspired by the Photo Cut Out Frame 44
I just love the colour in this set and I had already used the frames and I had the "Remember tab" left, so I used it and a flair for my title on the page.
I also remember to turn my camera on again so at the end of the post you can watch my process of making this page. :)

June Guest Designer Sarah Rosse - 'Mixed Media Cards'

I've got one more share from our June Guest DT,

Sarah Rosse.

Check out these awesome cards she has created!

"As soon as I saw these Fussy Cut files, I knew they could become the perfect pocket scrapbooking card or you could use them on a layout. I gelli printed on the cards to create the background, along with some stamping and layers cut from the Photo cards. Finished off with a few splats of black paint & using the 'On The Plus Side' stencil to add some texture, I love how they turned out. The white really stands out on the busy background."

June Guest Designer Sarah Rosse - 'Partner's In Crime'

This month we welcome our Guest DT,
Sarah Rosse :)

Here's a bit about Sarah:
"I have been scrapbooking for about 11 years and enjoy both traditional and pocket scrapbooking. I enjoy creating my own backgrounds and love everything mixed media! Paint, stencils and stamps are my go to products!! Love them!! My style is quite contemporary, usually with a lot of colour! My two boys aged 9 and 2 years are largely my inspiration for scrapping and memory keeping. I am a current design team member over at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia, Use Your Stuff, Shop and Crop Scrapbooking"

Here is Sarah's first creation
'PARTNERS IN CRIME'

"As soon as I saw the 'Partners in Crime' collection, I immediately thought of my two boys! They are the ultimate partners! The black and white graphics in many of the Photo cards inspired this black and white themed layout. I created my background using gesso and black acrylic paint then using the Flutterbys 'On The Plus Side' stencil I applied some gorgeous Colour Blast paste. I love the wooden veneer from this range and kept this raw to stand out against the background."

Life is a Great Big Canvas | Krisy Podolak

Hi Flutterby Lovelies, It's Krisy here and I'm back to share a mixed media layout I created using the new Flutter Colour Paints. These are my favourite new thing at the moment and I am trying to incorporate them in to all of my layouts.

For this layout I took inspiration from one of the Everyday Etc Wild Bohemian cards that has a messy mixed media background and I used my Gelli Plate to try and recreate something similar. I added in some extra colours using my Kaisercraft paints and the colours worked well together. Using the paints side by side I did realise the Flutterby Colour paints have a bit more body than the Kaisercraft ones as they are quite watery. Something I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't used them on the same layout.

To add more textures and messes to the background, I used the Flutterby stencils as a stencil and then turned them over and used them as a stamp also. It is a great way to add more interest to the page. I also used Bubble wrap as a stamp and cardboard tubes. Over the top of it all, I added some of Anita's signature paint swirls. Then I layered on the embellishments. There is some Gyprock tape for more texture, some wood bits, page tabs and a flair button.

I really love how the background turned out and I am going to attempt something similar in my art journal.

As always there is a process video on my YouTube channel - POPLEOPOD but this one is just a process video of the background. I thought the layout was fairly simple enough to see how it was put together. Head over and have a look and let me know what you think!
