'Thank you for your friendship' - layout

#best friend #cherry tree lane #scrapbook layout

So up until this point I have been a card/explosion box making papercrafter... but now I think it is time to expand my horizons and dive into the world of scrapbooking, so here is my very first scrapbook layout! :)


Lately I've seen some amazing scrapbook layouts that are just so inspiring so I decided to give scrapbooking a go! I am very new to this but I am determined to make my own scrapbook. I actually ended up making this because my best friend suggested it. She saw the papers and collectables from Kaisercraft's Cherry tree lane collection, she selected a few of them and demanded that I use them for her and only for her! XD

I decided to layer two of the same photo slightly offset, one in colour and one in sepia, I thought it would add some interest to the layout. I really wanted to highlight the blue tones in the photo so I picked embellishments and paper that had little hints of blue. I ripped a few papers to create a distressed look, I also added some wooden embellishments and pearls.


Materials used: Cherry tree lane collection (KC) - 12x12 scrapbook paper {quill, telegraph}, collectables, stickers | 12 x 12 cardstock - brown | Pearls - honey (KC) | Wooden embellishments - butterfly (KC) | Lace
KC - Kaisercraft

It was actually my best friend that encouraged me to make this blog, and I'm glad she did because I absolutely love writing up this blog and documenting my papercraft journey! If she is reading this (I know you are reading this!) I would just like to say thank you for your friendship, it means more than you know! I am so lucky to have you as my best friend.

Explosion box (4 inch cube) - tutorial

Image
#explosion box #tutorial Hey everyone, so in the past I've been asked by quite a few people about how I make my explosion boxes, especially the dimensions I use. I usually make explosion boxed with 3 layers, so that is the one I will be showing you step by step how to make. For the basic structure you will need: 12 x 12 inch cardstock (outer layer) 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 inch cardstock (middle layer) 11 x 11 inch cardstock (inner most layer) 7 1/16 x 7 1/16 inch cardstock (lid) 1) For each of the 'layers' you need to score at 4 inches from the edge of the cardstock. 2) Now you will need to cut off the four corner squares for each layer (note these cutouts should be 4 x 4 inches). Layers: Score along the solid lines; Cut along the dashed lines 3) For the lid you will need to score at 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the cardstock, the four corners squares should be 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (note the centre square is 4 1/16 x 4 1/16 inches, this extra 1/16 of an in...

'A galactic thank you' - card

Image
#galaxy #mists #space Hi everyone! So the last month has been a very stressful and intense time (probably the most stressful in my uni life so far), but I have finally submitted my honours thesis! Yay! So I can get back to papercrafting guilt free! So I'm making some thank you cards for some of the people that got me through this stressful year, and given that they do astrophysics I thought I'd make them 'galaxy' themed! :) I used a 12 x 12 piece of white cardstock and sprayed it with different coloured iridescent mists (blue, teal, pink and purple) and let this dry for about 15 minutes. Then I mixed some white paint and white iridescent mist and flicked dots of this mixture onto the same piece of cardstock to look like stars! I let this cardstock sit for a few hours to make sure the white dots were dry. The next step was to prepare all the pieces needed for the card. I used black 4 1/8 x 6 inch notecards for the base of the cards. Next, I die-cut some stitc...

'Summer travels' - double layout

Image
#havana nights #summer #challenge Hey everyone! So January is almost over... imagine how fast the rest of the year will go by?! Well, I intend to document the best moments of the year, which means more scrapbooking practice for me! So I thought this month's 'double layout' challenge by Kaisercraft was the best way to get started. I used the papers and collectables from Kaisercraft's 'Havana nights' collection. I tend to use darker, more neutral colour schemes for my projects, so I thought that using this collection would challenge me to use brighter colours. For the base of the layout, I used two sheets of white cardstock. Using the tiled pattern paper I cut out five segments, and then I adhered these segments to the two pieces of white cardstock as shown below. I used foam tape to adhere all of the photos to add dimension. I cut out some vellum squares using a stitched square die and adhered them behind the largest photo. I also cut from vellum f...
