Keren's June Kit Creations

Hi Everyone, Keren here and its my turn today to show you details of my June creations.

You've all seen these 3 layouts in the gallery but here are some close-ups of my creations too.

My Second layout used the Amarylis June Sketch:

Here is my last layout.

I loved working with this kit. This collection of Webster's pages is fantastic.

Distressed Spiral Rose Tutorial by Sandi

Hi everyone...Sandi here today to share a Distressed Spiral Rose tutorial that I came across unexpectedly. I always make the regular spiral roses as fillers on my layout because the are so easy to make and coordinate so well on your layouts. I am sure you have already seen many tutorials on how to make those spiral roses.I made the blue roses in the above layout using the regular method and  blue cardstock in the May ScrapThat! kit.
 I had a piece of paper on my desk that I had distressed for a layout and had not used and grabbed that to make a few roses and loved the end result! Here is what you will need:
1. Cardstock/patterened paper
2.Water Mister
3.Decorative Scissors
4. Glue(I used hot glue gun because it dries fast
5. Heat Gun(not Shown)
Optional
-Inks
-Stickles
-Diamond dust
-or whatever else you like to use to pretty up your flowers

 

Step 1: Using your mister spray the paper until it is quite damp.

Step 2: Wrinkle paper into a ball and then dry with heat gun. Make sure it is dried well because it is difficult to cut if still damp.

Step 3: Once dry, smooth out paper.

Step 4: Using your decorative scissors cut a circle(this one measured about 2.5 inches

Step 5: Start cutting at the outside edge of the circle and continue in a spiral shape until you reach the middle of the circle. You could also ink the edges in this step or wait until the end and just rub your ink pad along the top of the flower.

 

Step 6: Start  rolling with the piece at the end on the outside of the circle with the side of the patterened you want the flower to be on the inside. This does not have to be perfect...just cut!!

It should look like the photo below. When I have made  these before using papers that are not distressed, once you let go of the spiral, they unravel on their own for a more open flower. With these you have to open it yourself using your fingers until it is at the desired openness.

Step 7: Add glue to the inside pices of the spiral and hold until fastened

The bottom will look like this.

And the top like this

I then turned the cardstock over and did the reverse side to get a pink flower

These are super easy to make and the bigger you cut your original circle, the bigger your flower will be. You can then ink, add stickles or whatever your heart desires to dress them up. Push back the layers of the flower with your fingers until you achieve the desired look. I think they would also be cute if you added a few stamen to the center when you begin rolling. Would love to see what you make!!

Sandi C's June Kit Creations

"Friends"

Hello, scrappers! Sandi Clarkson posting here today for Scrap That! I wanted to share my projects from the June kit "Life's Muse." This was such a gorgeous kit and it was truly a pleasure to work with it.

The layout above above was actually the first page I worked on  .. after carefully going through my kit to get some idea what elements to put with which papers.  But here you can see some of the Webster's Pages Everyday Poetry papers paired with the ivory card stock. I have fussy cut my blue patterned paper using a template from an older favorite die cut paper.  Next, I did a ton of fussy cutting to get the dark rose blossoms to embellish with, as well as the birdcage. I've added flowers from the Embellishment add-on, as well as some from the main kit. Then from one of the papers, I've cut an exotic butterfly with my Cheery Lynn die. The leaves were cut using my Sizzix branches die.  There was some lovely Zva bling is in the main kit but I've used some Red Alcohol Ink to darken it somewhat. And don't you love that Prima gem I've dangled from the birdcage? I'd love to have more of those! I computer-generated my journaling. Everything here was from the main kit and the embellishment add-on except for the aqua and pink pearls which are from my stash.

"Elias"

Isn't he a dumpling? This is my new ggs Elias and I really wanted to make him the focus of the page. So I did some misting and stamping (Donna Salazar) as well as more fussy cutting to make an adorable page using nothing but product from the main  kit. You may think I've added in a store-bought doily but it was cut from one of the papers using my Cheery Lynn french pastry doily die. The white leaves are again Sizzix. Of course, there is more fussy cutting of some birdcages which are popped on foam squares. 

"Home"

This is my submission using the awesome sketch provided by team member Amarilys Doria.  You may remember this layout from my tutorial earlier this month.  Check out that gorgeous Green Tara lace and the Zva flowers, especially the tulle one .. be still my heart! A little more fussy cutting, distressing and inking finish off the page. I have only added my own paper doily and a few pearls from my stash. Otherwise, everything is from the main kit except the smallest pink Prima from the embellishment add-on. I worked really hard on using very little of my own product just so  you can see how far the kit really does go! 

"Tell Me Your Thoughts"

Here is one last page that I've done. For this one, I have added a large Webster's Pages Die Cut (split in two) from my own stash. But the remainder of the paper, as well as the lace and flowers are from the main kit and embellishment add-on. I've also used a couple of Dusty Attic pieces, the ornate corner #6 and the birdcage #5 from my stash. They were painted a warm winter color. Then I added a bit of pink to the birdcage along with some pearls.  Here you'll also see my first experimentation with molding paste in the swirls in the middle of the page. Love the effect and I'll be doing more of that soon! I am still in love with the Martha Stewart Wild Flowers punch that I got for Christmas. It was perfect for this girly page! This layout is based on a sketch by Leah Schaeffer from Stuck on U Sketches. Here is that sketch:

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these again. Thanks for coming by! 

Amarilys June Kit Creations

Amarilys here today sharing with you the projects that I made with the June Kit "Life's Muse". I managed to make 3 layouts and a card and I still have enough to make at least one more (very layered!) layout!

This is my first layout:


I used the Main Kit and the Embellishment add-on for this layout. The doily and rhinestones on the butterflies' bodies are from my stash. I used another one of my engagement photos for this layout. I fuzzy cut the bird cages and used them as embellies. I die cut a few leaves and added them to the flower clusters. I also handmade and added a few butterflies. You can check out my tutorial on how to make your own butterflies HERE.

Details:




Here's my second layout, using another engagement photo, this time of our engagement dinner:


I used the Main Kit and the Embellishment add-on for this layout as well. The doily is from my stash. This picture was taken at my husband's parent house when they had my family over to celebrate our engagement. I turned the photo black and white because it was too busy and I wanted the focus to be on the people in the picture and not on their brightly colored clothes (*wink*). I had fun with this one by using lots of pretty pink blooms. Since it was an engagement photo and both my hubby and I were there, I went with a blue/pink (his/hers) color combo. Love how this one turned out!


Details:




For my last layout I used the Scrap That! June Sketch, designed my me :)


I used the Main Kit for this layout only (no embellie add-ons or flowers add-ons) and did not add anything from my stash. I used the gorgeous lace to add layers to this layout which I wanted to keep green/brown to match the photo of my hubby and I during our engagement session. I made the paper roses and added the white roses as the centers. I also die cut a bunch of leaves from the green paper and added them to the cluster.


Here's the Sketch:

 Details:






My last project is an oversized Anniversary card for my husband:


I used the Main Kit and the Embellishment add-on for this card. The black and white cardstocks are from my stash. We just celebrated our 3rd year anniversary and I thought he deserved a bigger than normal card. This card measures 4"x10.5". I went for something a bit romantic and made little his/hers heart shaped dress and tux and used the bird on the pattern paper as an embellie.

 Details:


You can find the June Kit "Life's Muse" on the Scrap That! Kit Page. This month’s kit features Webster's Pages Beautiful 'Everyday Poetry Collection'! The kit is chock full of gorgeous goodies, such as lace, bling, an array of pretty flowers and much, much more!
