Fussycutting Florals with Malin

Hi everyone!
I have just come back home from a trip to greece with my partner and I can tell you I have A LOT of photos from this trip. Today I  used one of them on a layout I have made that I want to share with you. We had a lovely time I can tell you!!

So I have been using the collection Harmony for this layot and I have been fussycutting a lot of flowers from some of the papers. I just love the colors and think it fits my layout perfectly!
I also used some stamps and dies to diecut some embellishments to the project and I hope that you will like it.

I also have a process video fro this project to you that you will be able to see in the end of this post as soon as it´s up on youtube. Hope you will have some inspiration and tips from it.

Double Page LO with limited supplies

Hey there..

Today Irene and Sam have made some amazing double page layout

with only the following...

4 sheets of patterned paper
1-2 sheets of cardstock
1 sheet of stickers (can be any of the sticker packages)
1 package of embellishments of your choice

Treasure the Moment
Irene Tan

 Note: After this double page layout, there are still some pieces left of the pattern papers and rub-ons. You can use them to create several fast and easy small cards or tags. Clear stamps are very useful when you are scrapping on a budget. Simply just stamped them on some left over pattern papers or cardstocks to instantly create an embellishment for your layouts. or, it could easily be used to create some fast and easy layering by stamping on your layouts.

 Don't you just love the detail? And fussy cutting... woot woot

Also, I asked Irene how she did her inking, cuz it looks so even and smooth,

she said: "I always use a sponge to ink my papers.

Either a Cut n Dry or a simple make-up foundation sponge."

Good Times and Happy Memories

 Designer tip: When working on a double page layout- work on it as a single 24” x 12” rather than two 12”x 12” page that you put together. This I find makes it so much easier to balance all the elements on my layouts! Cutting up the patterned paper helps to “stretch” the paper. It also enables you to repeat patterns. 

Bo Bunny Supplies used:

Double Dot: Dark Denim Vintage

Patterned Paper: Detour Quotes, Arrows, Boarding Pass

Stickers: Without a map/ Detour

Chipboard: Detour dimensional chipboard

I hope you all are as in love with these layouts as much as me,

and they inspire you to do great things.  Try using this formula

for your next double hitter and let us know how it goes.

I ♥ Fussy Cutting.....

I really do love to fussy cut... I think it's relaxing and fun to do.

I usually save up my fussy cutting jobs in a file folder and keep them with me,

so when I'm waiting at the doctor's office, or sitting in the car waiting for the

school bell to ring, I oolways have something to do.

Not to mention... it just looks AWESOME!

Designer Tips:
One of my favorite techniques is to use coordinating patterned papers to embellish my page. I like papers with larger patterns on them. 
Find the patterns you want to use and cut out around them, for tight areas use your craft knife. 
I like to add stickles to the edges of my fussy cut embellishment, not only does it make it sparkle but it covers up any imperfections in your cutting.
Make your fussy cut embellishments pop off the page with foam squares..it will give your layout dimension and you can layer your patterns this way, tuck flowers or journaling tags under them.

Designer tip -- I know that some crafters look at a piece of pattern paper and think, "What am I going to do with that pattern?" -- My answer to that is -- "Cut it up!" I love to do fussy cutting, one sheet of paper can be used for most of your embellishments!! For my layout I only used 3 sheets of 12x12 paper, 3 pieces of chipboard flowers, one journal card from the Noteworthy collection and 3 numbers from the combo sticker pack -- and that's it! And I still have left overs from the papers that I cut the flowers from to use on another project! And my layout looks nice and full, and I barely used any supplies! Fussy cutting is a GREAT way to create your own embellishments! Have fun with it!!

Here's a little note from Lily...
Hi..My name is Lily Tasman, I came from Indonesia. I started scrapbooking on January 2012 and a month afterwards, I was asked by Mrs. Grace and Mrs. Regina to come and join MSI (My Scrapbook Ideas) design team, the first ever scrapbook store in Bandung City, my hometown.

I enjoy working on projects and prefer to work on a bigger media such as Album and Canvas - the bigger the media the more exciting the project is. The bigger the media the more for me to express endless imagination. Oh it’s so much fun to think of it!

Where do all those inspirations come from? Hmmm…. to be completely honest I was letting myself flow doing it, I would bring those papers and its embellishments everywhere I go and in my free spare time, i would open and see them, and inspirations would come to me suddenly. When I was looking at Little Miss papers, all of a sudden, an imaginary window appeared on my mind and when I saw lines paper, a canopy appeared. So when I was asked where did all those inspirations come from? I would say they are from those papers and embellishments themselves. It really is a pleasant and enjoyable moment over the process of Little Miss project. I hope you would also have inspirations when you see this project. God Bless you.

Amazing, right?

So, the moral of this story is...

don't be afraid to do a little fussy cutting.

You might just like it!!!
