StudioForty: autumn ephemera

Pokazywanie postów oznaczonych etykietą autumn ephemera. Pokaż wszystkie posty

Hello crafty friends! How are you? Last weekend was finally quiet and I was able to dedicate myself to the things I love, like reading with a good cup of coffee and a blanket, or scrapboking ;) How was yours? It's Nuria here and I want to share a layout made with the awesome Together collection.

Let's get to it! I cut 3 square pieces of "Think Happy" patterned paper with a die-cut circle in the centre. I used the negative of the die cut. I glued them with some volume on a white cardboard.
Before gluing, I decorated each piece in a different way:

I punched several times the square piece on the right hand, put some thread through them and glued some chipboard embellishments (a melmalade pot, a heart, a tea bag and the word "Cozy"). On the background, a paper frame from the fall ephemera set was glued.

The one in the centre has the black and white photo. At first I thought about putting a circular photo, but I changed my mind and kept the square shape. I think the photo looks better in that case.
At the background I stuck a sticker of the colour stickers set, and on top of the photo the transparent sticker "slow" and the teacup with the books chipboard.

On the left hand, I stuck a single chipboard embellishment in the middle of the circle, a pair of socks and a book from the fall ephemera set and the sticker "but first hot cocoa" on top of the patterned paper. And on the background a sticker of the colour stickers set.

At the bottom of the layout, I stuck one of the chipboard frames and an ampersand symbol from the packaging of the ephemera set! I love to make use of all the material, even the packaging because it usually hides nice surprises. I finalise decoration with a star anise, a "candle" and the word "comfy" from the "Holiday Spirit" transparent stickers.

Finally, I cut out the phrase "time to hygge" from a PL card, punched two holes and threaded some thread through them and glued it with volume, centred on the top of the LO. And that's it!

I hope you like this LO and that it will inspire you! Have a lovely week! And don't forget to hygge!;)

autumn ephemera

Hello Studio Forty friends! How are you? It's Nuria today to share a mini album with Together collection.

This mini album has a fake cover, slightly smaller, on top of the real one. Did you see it? I used Snowy day, Think Happy and Gather patterned papers for the covers and decorated it with autumn ephemera set, few chipboard stickers, and enamel dots. I created a frame with stamps for the title "Banyoles". A final touch with half ephemera frame and two ribbons (1 white and 1 yellow) between the different cover layers was added.

Do you make videos with your mobile phone? I do. We record them with a lot of enthusiasm, but we hardly ever see them. Does this happen to you? It used to happen to me all the time, until I learned to include the videos in my albums... with a QR code! In this mini, I've decorated the code with a frame, it gives it an extra touch!

This mini album collects a fun day kayaking with friends! As most pictures were taken on panoramic mode, I decided to orientate the mini album horizontally to not to cut the beautiful sightseeing.

I stuck transparent stickers on the photo and decorated the page with patterned paper to create a small card, with best wishes inside, decorated with this amazing hedgehog and circles cut out of jounaling cards.

The inner structure is like an accordion in order to keep the mini album dynamic and fun. It is created with white cardboard and decorated with the same combo of patterned papers as in the covers. On some pages I added fold-outs to create pages 3 in 1.

I love the spread of the page with tiny envelops! I hide a mini tag with a message inside one of them and decorated the envelops with chipboard stickers.

And that's all for now! Hope you’ve got inspired with this mini album and thanks for stopping by!

3D dots

Hello! Nuria here, how are crafty friends doing? Today it’s time for cards! In this post I show you four different ways of using stamps. Are you ready? Let’s go!

“Simple & sweet life” card: I stamped a white card with clear stamp “simple & sweet” and frame it with layers of Together collection patterned paper on top and underneath.

Then I used an herbal stamp on a white card to create a pattern to follow when embroidering. I love to do that! It is a different way of using stamps and gives you a bunch of possibilities! Finally, I stamped a frame with the word “Life” and decorated it with some white herbal dies, a wooden ring wrapped with light brown yarn and a 3D dot.

“Good life together” card: I created a repeated pattern with the words “Good” and “Life” stamps on a white card.

Then I cut a beautiful journaling card with an ampersand and added some white tulle and yarn underneath to create some volume. Finally I added a 3D dot as decoration.

“Love this” card: In this card I created an embellishment with stamps. I choose the beautiful jar and “Love this” stamps.

I filled the jar with some herbal dies and herbal stamps. I stuck the embellishment on the Snowy day patterned paper and create an extra layer with a white card underneath. I decorated with a pumpkin and a tag from the a utumn ephemera set, some light brown yarn and a 3D dot.

And that's all for now, friends! Hope you’ve enyoyed and got some inspiration with the different ways of using stamps: frame a stamp, create a pattern to embroider, create a patterned background, or creating an embellishment!
