More Everyday Musings layout inspirations for Pinkfresh Studio

Hey there lovelies,

I'm sharing two new layouts today that I've created with the stunning Everyday Musings collection from Pinkfresh Studio.

The first one I created as soon as Paige Evans posted this new split image cut file, Flower Borders! I've made several layouts like this before but not in a long time, and it reminded me how much I love it. There are actually a couple of Pinkfresh stamps and dies that are like this, for instance the Lush Greenery stamp and die sets or the Bloom stamp and die sets. I made one of my favorite cards with the Lush Greenery set, you can check here. 

I cut the designs from white, textured card stock and backed them with various patterned papers from the collection, to bring in as many colors as possible. I love colorful things! Once done, I figured out the placement and glued the two cut files down onto the Sweet Escape paper I selected for background. I created my title using the wonderful, wonderful puffy alphas! Originally it would have been Palm trees and sandy feet but I didn't have enough space haha!

Just look at those alpha stickers! Perfection! The design, the colors, the font, all of it!

I then went through all embellieshments and selected some that I thought would fit: mainly labels and stickers. I also fussy cut some flowers and leaves from the Beautiful patterned paper and tuck these in behind the cut file. I cut apart some of the gold puffy flowers and placed them on each side of the cut files. 

To finish off my layout, I added my date and journaling.

I wanted to go with a different color scheme on my second layout and use some of the blue papers which I haven't used yet. I chose a beautiful floral cut file from Handipaper and cut it twice. I wanted to nest my photo in between the two cut files. I backed them with mostly blue and red patterned papers and glued them down on the background, for which I chose the B side of the Beautiful paper. 

What I was the happiest about was that there were various blue and red alphas I could use! I love that color combo! 

I layered some of the pockets behind my photo, just to add a little bit of color. I added a few die cut pieces, stickers and a sweet little layered heart.

I wrote my journaling in one of the big flower centers and stamped my date on a label tucked under my photo. That's about it!

I hope you like today's inspiration as much as I loved working on them!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a fabulous day!

Guesting at Doodlebug Designs!

Hey there crafty friends,

I'm so honored to have been invited by Doodlebug Designs to guest on their blog! And that with the cutest collection ever! Have you guys seen the French Kiss collection?! I love love love that the colors are not your typical Valentine's colors - the addition of that gorgeous blue is just fabulous!

I actually had a hard time putting down the collection, I only did because I had other deadline work to do. I've created 3 layouts and 4 cards for today's post. I hope you enjoy!

For my first layout I chose my most favorite paper from the collection. Isn't this blue just gorgeous?! 

I cut the Floral Square Frame cut file from Handipaper from white textured card stock and backed some of it with various patterned papers. I added some foam adhesive to the back and adhered the cut file to the background. 

I layered some tissue paper and patterned paper behind my photo and tucked all this behind the wreath. I added a some embellishments around the photo, an adorable bow clip and some sentiment die cuts. I also used one of the die cuts for my title.

As a finishing touch, I scattered some enamel dots around the wreath.

On my next layout I used the Rainbow cut file from Handipaper - I figured it would go perfectly with the cloud patterned paper! 

I desperately love dimension and 3d flowers! I die cut 3 layered flowers (cut file is from Paige Evans) using many different patterned papers to showcase more of this lovely collection! I added enamel dots for the flower centers. 

I backed the rainbow with patterned papers as well and glued it down on my background paper. I also ran my sewing machine over the rays because the white cut file didn't stand out so well. I added some tissue paper behind my photo and glued it down.

To finish off the layout, I placed several die cuts, stickers and a clip, here and there.

On my last layout I went with a partially white background which I don't do often! But I love that crisp white against the blues and pinks/reds, so I couldn't help myself.

I cut the Floral Frame cut file from Handipaper in various sizes. First I backed the flowers and leaves   with patterned paper, then I added a photo to the biggest and more patterned papers to the other two.

I added some machine stitching to the frames so that they stand out from the background. I placed the frames on foam adhesive and glued them in place.

I decorated my page with lots of die cuts and some enamel hearts. 

As for the cards. As soon as I saw the teeny tiny envelope pack, I knew I had to make some cards! Aren't they the most adorable thing you've seen?! The bigger envelope on the left is a layered sticker, that comes in a different pack. The tiny ones come flat on sheets, you have to assemble them, but that takes like 10 seconds!

I die cut a scallop rectangle from patterned paper for my background. I also attached a piece of red scallop sticker at the bottom. I then arranged the envelopes the way I liked them and glued them down. I filled some with a note, some with hearts (also included in the mini envelope pack). 

I added a few strips of patterned papers and stickers to the white card base, then die cut a big heart from blue patterned paper (I used the 6x6 paper pad for my cards). I glued a mini envelope on top and scattered some die cut and enamel sticker hearts all around. For the sentiment I used a die cut tag which I added to the card on pop dots.

I just had to use the adorable kids flying airplanes on my last two cards! I created two A2 size top folding card bases (landscape), attached some patterned paper on top, then added a slightly smaller piece of white card stock too. 

I pulled out all clouds I could find - die cuts and stickers. I used two big ones on the girl card, as well as some heart balloons. I added foam adhesive to the balloons and the plane/banner for a more dimensional look. A cute enamel birdie and bow finish off this card.

For my boy card I used a lot more clouds - some of which I placed on pop dots. The plane and the banner are also attached with foam adhesive. I scattered some enamel hearts in between the clouds. Oh and the boy is also accompanied by a little enamel bird! Last but not least I added some border stickers at the bottom of both cards.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them!

A big thank you to Doodlebug for having me!

And thank you all for stopping by today! Have an amazing day!
