Christmas Magic layout designed for 49 and Market

Hi there 49 and Market Fans and welcome. Today I would like to share with you a Christmas layout. Yes, I know it’s July, but it is only 5 months until Christmas, it will be here before you know it. I love Christmas so don’t mind getting into the spirit early.

For this layout, of course I used the wonderful Winters Edge Collection as well as the matching Laser Cuts. I started the layout by choosing some papers and Laser Cuts to layer behind my two main photos to create some layers, working with the design on the paper as I didn’t want to cover up too much of the lovely print.

Once I had sorted out my basic design I added selected pieces of Laser Cuts on and in between the layers. I played around with the design for a while until I was happy with what I saw. I then added the pop of red flowers, some more Laser Cuts like the little candles (so cute) and the sentiments to finish off. Too easy, I can’t speak highly enough of the Laser Cuts, they make every layout a breeze to put together and you end up with a beautiful creation, a lasting keepsake to be enjoyed for years to come.

Thanks so much for popping in, I hope I inspired you with my project, until next time….

Picture Perfect layout created for Dusty Attic

Good Morning Dusty Fans and welcome back to the blog. Today I am sharing my take on this months Mood Board and I have to say I love all Dusty Attic's Mood Boards, just something about them that makes them all stunning and so inspirational.

Picture Perfect


I decided to make this a multi photo layout, I don't use multiple photos very often so trying to challenge myself here. 

There are 5 different Dusty Attic Chipboard designs on this layout. First up I used the stunning Vintage Frame Layered and I simply added some copper embossing powder. I did use it a bit differently though and used the back frame in a portrait way and the front frame layered on top horizontally. I layered my photos on top of the frame set and I then began the process of adding all my other Dusty Chipboard elements. 

I added glitter embossing powder to the Tropical Foliage to give it some depth but not too much colour. Of course I added my favourite 49 and Market flowers also. For the title and the arrow on top of the photos I tried to match some embossing powder to pick up some of the darker colours in the background paper.

Last but not least I just had to add some Wordpl@y to describe the photos even further, love these little word tiles, so versatile.

Love this layout designed for Kaisercraft

Hello there Kaisercraft fans and welcome to the Kaiser Blog, it is Hetty with you today.
I am so lucky to be able to share with you another Guest Design Team layout this time using the super gorgeous Magenta Collection. I just love pinks and greys together combined with a few hints of black.

Love this

PRODUCTS USED:
PAPERS: MAGENTA Collection: P2779 Raspberry|P2782 Pink|PP1071 Paper Pad| CT965 Collectables|CS356 Clear Stamps|
For my photo mat I chose some pretty colours from the paper pad and tore them slightly larger size then my photo and added them with some foam tape in between the layers.
Once I had my base I started building up the layers around my photo using the matching collectables.
After a bit of time playing with the design I was happy to stuck it all down with foam dots and finished the layout with some leaf stamping.
Because I worked with the gorgeous design and print already on the paper this layout came together so easily.
That is it for me today, happy crafting.
Until next time…
Hugs

Memory Captured layout designed for 49 and Market

Good Morning 49 and Market Fans and welcome!
"Memory Captured" by Hetty Hall
“Memory Captured” 
Today I would like to share with you a layout using my favourite 49 and Market collection – Bold and Beautiful, I simply cannot get enough of these papers and Laser Cuts. I know I have used this background before but I just can’t help it, it is just too pretty not to use it.
"Memory Captured" by Hetty Hall
For this layout I decided to use multiple photos, I don’t do that very often so really challenged myself here. I started with building a cluster with the Archival Board, Laser Cuts and flowers. I just kept playing around with it until I liked what I saw. I placed this cluster on my layout working with the pretty design already on the paper and arranged my photos around this cluster. All embellishments are added with foam dots or tape to create height and dimension. A few more little touches here and there and my layout is finished.

Some kind of Wonderful layout designed for Dusty Attic Chipboard

Hey there Dusty Fans and welcome to my very first blog post as a Dusty Girl. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be here, I feel like a very lucky girl. Thanks heaps Jennifer Hedger for inviting me on to your wonderful team, I will try my very best to do you proud.

Without further ado here is my layout. I used 6 different Dusty Attic Chipboard designs which you will find listed below.
Once I had picked a photo I wanted to scrap I began choosing my chipboard pieces. Of course I also used my favourite 49 and Market paper and flowers. 

I started with the gorgeous Floral Frame (in this instance I used the smaller one) and added some Rust effect paste in Grey. It has got some lovely texture to it which was the effect I was after. The same was done to the Wild grass but this time I used the Green-Grey for a bit of contrast. I then moved on to the broken Bricks to which I added a layer of black gesso and once dried I sanded it back slightly for a rougher look.  Last but not least just a bit of white gesso was painted onto the Mini Caption (title). I finished the frame and wild grass with a touch of yellow rust paste. I left the chipboard blooms in its original state and just added some pearls to the centre. I finished the layout of by adding a number of Wordpl@y Words, I have to say I have fallen in love with these, they are brilliant.

Remembering Yesterday's layout designed for 49 and Market

Hey there 49 and Market fans and welcome back.
Such a pleasure to be able to share another layout with you. Today I used some “Vintage Remnants” papers again, they are just so versatile and the print work is so gorgeous. I combined these papers with some of the new flowers also.
"Remembering Yesterdays" by Hetty Hall
So I started off by layering some of the matching Laser Cuts behind my photo, playing with the design until I was happy with the way it looked. Again I always make sure there is some sort of dimension in between my layers so I generally use some of cuts of cardboard and my trusty hot glue gun.
The Laser Cuts make it so easy to create a quick and easy but great looking layout. Next I added my flowers, again I played around with the design a bit and used my hot glue gun to stick them all done, so nice and quick. I added some white gesso to the flowers to make them look a bit more vintage, love that look. Last but not least I added my absolute new favourite 49 and Market product – Wishing Bubbles, just love these shiny dimensional embellishments.
"Remembering Yesterdays" by Hetty Hall
So there you have it. I often design my layouts with a lot of ‘white space’ to really draw the eye to first of all the photo and then all the embellishments that highlight the photo. In this case in the top right hand corner also highlighting some of the gorgeous background print.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy my layout share today.
Until next time…

Twinkle in my eye - layout for 49 and Market

Hi there once more 49 and Market friends and welcome to another blog post. Today I would like to share another layout using the stunning “Bold and Beautiful” collection, I am seriously in love with the matching Laser Cuts as well as the beautifully designed papers, can’t get enough.


"Twinkle In My Eye" by Hetty Hall
I started my layout by picking my background piece which is the reverse of the front page. I then added a lot of postage stamps from the Laser Cut sheet in a random fashion and adhered them with some hot glue. Again from the Laser Cut sheet I added some postcards by layering them behind my photo creating a photo mat. Next I embossed some Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces in white embossing powder and placed them on my layout. On top of that I added my photo and attached it with some cardboard for added dimension.
"Twinkle In My Eye" by Hetty Hall
The Laser Cut flowers and leaves were then arranged around the photo and attached with some foam dots as again I like the height and dimension. Next I added a mixture of gorgeous new flowers with some hot glue. Last but not least I used a whole pack of the Wishing Bubbles to arrange around my photo and in between the flower layers, they are my new favourite 49 and Market embellishment for sure.

Blessed layout designed for Kaisercraft

Hello there Kaisercraft Fans, it is Hetty with you today. I am so excited to share my first Guest Design blog post with you today and what a great start it is as well as this collection is gorgeous.
– Antiquities, just love this colour combo –

Blessed

PRODUCTS USED:PAPERS: ANTIQUITIES Collection: P2746 Precious|P2740 One of a Kind|PP1067 Paper Pad| CT960 Collectables|CR207 Curios|CS352 Clear Stamps
KC PRODUCTS: CB153 Raw panels – Corrugated Cardboard|CD650 – White Smooth Cardstock
I tore some random pieces of paper from the paper pad and layered them behind my photo. I nearly always use dimensional tape or cardboard in between my layers, not only because I like the look of it but also because it gives me room to add other elements like the collectables. In this close up you can see the layers.
I used the matching stamp set to randomly stamp the script stamp with black ink so it looks like I added some texture.
My favourite Kaisercraft product has always been the Collectables but how gorgeous is this Curios butterfly? Love the Curios, gorgeous circles of glass with beautiful prints that add shine and dimension to your projects, definitely a close second for sure.
The Antiquities Collection is super gorgeous with those yellow flowers and the blue tones, yet is not too feminine so can be used for both boy and girl projects.
So there you have it, I hope you like my first project as a Guest Designer and that you are inspired to get out your Antiquities Collection and start creating.
Until next time….
Hugs
Hetty
