First step ,cut out 8 tags, I used one of the tag to use as a template to cut 2 from the woodgrain paper.

I also used one of the tags as a template to punch a hole .

Sorry about the shadows !!

Decorate your tags with the Dimensional stickers, Emphemera pack and Journaling cards.

Decorate glassine bag and add twine to each tag and place tags inside bag.

Layout Share with Marielle!

Hello friends, Marielle here today to share a layout I created with just two of the papers from Crate Paper in the April main kit.

Beautiful

I just LOVE cut apart sheets of patterned papers ! They are so versatile and really go a long way.

This is the other side of the paper.

There are so many fun designs.

I started by choosing the tags I wanted to use for my layout and then punched a few circles in various sizes.

Here's a look at the pieces I chose.

I used the cut strip from the bottom of the paper and adhered it to the right side of the wood grain background paper and used the colorful word sentiments under my photo. Love all of the bright colors.

Add the tags under and to the left side of the photo ( my niece).

Add journaling tag and title ( Jillibean Soup foam stickers, love these !!!)

Add smaller circles as embellishments.

and finally adhere a few of the foam heart stickers.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. 

I hope you have a great time creating with the April main kit !

Hugs,

Marielle

Walk Through with Zelda!

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a floral wreath layout that was created using the April Creative kit Spring Fling by Echo Park Paper 

 Once I saw the B side of the 3x4 journaling cards I knew I just had to fussy cut all the flowers and create a DIY wreath.

Now fussy cutting is definitely not my favourite thing to do but I just turned on Netflix and binge watched one of my shows and before I knew it I had a pile of flowers cut out.

Using my Tombow markers and a black Faber Castell pitt pen in size M I coloured and doodled out 6 flowers in a circular pattern on white cardstock to act as a guideline for my wreath.

 I liked the doodled flowers so much I decided to create more and fussy cut them to make my own ephemera.

 Included in the kit are these beautiful enamel and resin floral embellishments. To add dimension I layered them adhearing them with hot glue and using a sequin for the center.

 The flowers are placed randomly around in a circle, and glued down.

To create the base page white cardstock is cut to 11” x 11” and matted with blue cardstock from my stash cut to 11 ½” x 11 ½” Both are then placed on the 12x12 spring bloom patterned paper framing my layout.

To prevent the layout from becoming too bulky  a 10” square is cut from the center of the patterned paper. This also allows me to use the leftover patterned paper on another layout.

 The picture is matted in the same blue cardstock and layered with frames and a tag from the ephemera package. I finished the tag of with a tiny bow made from ribbon that also came with the kit.

For dimension foam squares are used to attach the self made ephemera around the wreath and pink thread was added in behind each one for some texture. The metal/resin floral clusters were adhered around the wreath using hot glue. For the title I chose you are sweet from the ephemera pack and added a couple stickers from the sticker sheet.

 Here is my finished layout. I hope this inspires you to create a DIY wreath layout of your own
