Be You

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a layout at Just Nick Digital Cut Files using the Floral Burst Background.  

I cut out the Floral Burst Background on white cardstock with my electronic die cutting machine. I then copied and pasted the petals on another screen and cut them with my electronic die cutting machine in different colors of patterned paper.  Next I placed the petals over a pink piece of patterned paper and trimmed around the edge leaving about 1/4 inch border.  

I used a paper piercer and pierced holes about 1/8 inches apart around the petals and then using six strands of pink embroidery floss, I hand stitched around the edges of the petals.  

After all the stitching was completed, I added some die cuts, stickers, pearls, a flair button from A Flair For Buttons and splattered some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Blush.

Here is the cut file I used on my layout.

I love the homespun feel of the hand stitching.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Live Simple Step Card

Hello scrappy friends!  Today I wanted to share a step card that I created with some bits and pieces that I had laying around in my stash from the Kaisercraft Tea Break Collection.  Kaisercraft is an Australian company and I really love their papers.  There was some fussy cutting and layering to it but I am happy how it turned out.

I hope you enjoying your visit.  Thanks for peeking and have a wonderful day!

So Lovely Layout

Hello creative friends!  Happy Monday!  Today I wanted to share a layout of my daughter that I created with an awesome sketch from Page Drafts.  I love sketches and Emma Stafrace clearly knows how to create some really amazing ones.  I saw this one and was so inspired.

For my layout I wanted to create a vintage, feminine, shabby chic type of design.  I didn't stray too far from the sketch and cut lots of different designs with my Cameo and added some lace and pearls and used my sewing machine to give it a more homemade feel.  I used the Kaisercraft Tea Break Collection of patterned papers and the two rose die cuts.  I just love pink and green together.  Something that isn't the norm for me is to use my computer to create my journaling but I wanted it to fit the layout.

Here are some more closeups

Do you ever see a sketch and want to create something as soon as you see it?  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
