3-to-1 Inspire with Sabrina

Hi everyone this is Sabrina and I’m excited to share a 3-to-1 Inspire project. I used many of the October digitals to bring these Life Crafted pages together.

Here are my 3-to-1-Inspire:

- use the digitals

- stamp some phrases

- use a floating element in your project

I wanted to document my daughter and her love of these 2 skeleton creatures- a bird and a cat. She has always loved all things Halloween since she was a toddler. I knew the October digitals paired perfectly with the photos I took of her holding our 2 new decor pieces.

I used several of the TN digital papers and even recolored the letters “spooky” on one of the Flourish travelers notebook papers. I also printed out all the Halloween tags and ephemera from the Flourish Printable Tags. There are so many fun pieces in the October digitals to document all the spooky moments!

I then added in some enamel dots, stamp sets ( Flourish Life Crafted Kit Stamp and the October 2020 Life Crafted Traveler's Notebook) and 2 papers from the Flourish kit- woodgrain and gray- to add to my project. My next step was to start building my Life Crafted spread. I started by matting both photos on the wood grain paper and tearing the edges. I used the gray paper to cover up the “magic hour” at the bottom since I had a journal card and didn’t need a second journaling spot.

For my 3x4 insert I had a journaling card “here for this” that I recolored to match the orange color from the pumpkin in the “spooky” TN paper. I also decided to have the digital tag and circle element as floating pieces in the bottom 3x4 pocket. I love how the floating cluster turned out and I hope you give it a try in your project. I then put on the finishing touches with the stamp phrases and enamel dots. A festive Life Crafted spread to document this story of my daughter's new spooky creatures. 

I hope this project inspires you to try out your digitals and use my 3-to-1 Inspire to make a fun project. Have a wonderful day! 

Life Crafted with Sheree

 

Hi everyone!

Today I have a life crafted spread to share with you featuring the beautiful October 2020 “Flourish” Life Crafted Kit and two of the fun stamp sets on offer this month too.  

As soon as I saw the October 2020 This is Life “Ready for This” stamp set I knew it would be perfect for documenting the pretty flowers that have appeared on my succulents this month.  I stamped the plant label stamp three times onto white cardstock then added the “bloom”, flower and “grow” stamps to the centre of each one.  I also stamped the phrase “All kinds of happy” from the October 2020 Traveler’s Notebook Stamp Set onto the cardstock, then cut everything out ready to use on my spread.

For the first page of the spread I added strips of the green floral and polka dot papers to the left side of the white cardstock, then added stitching before positioning my 1.5 inch square photos down the left side of the page.  I then added the stamped plant labels down the right side of the page with foam dots to add some dimension.

For the second page of the spread, I used the green floral as the background and stitched a border.

I added the stamped title at the top with a piece of the polkadot paper layered in behind it.  Under that is the “right here” piece from the Printable “Flourish” Cutapart Elements sheet.  A row of stitching was added to both of these pieces.

I added my journaling onto one of the journaling cards from the kit using my computer and printer, added it to the centre of the page and stitched around the edge.  I embellished the card with two puffy stickers in the bottom right corner.

At the bottom of the pages is a label, also from the printable cutapart elements sheet, that I’ve stamped with the date.  I also layered another piece of the polka dot paper underneath and stitched across the label.

There is a process video below if you’d like watch how I’ve put this spread together…

I hope I've inspired you to do some stamping on your next project!

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

Open Post | October pocket pages spread with Lory

Hey there! How are you friends? It's a very strange period all over the world and I think that never like now creativity is our best and stronger weapon! Creativity keeps our mind healthy and same and this is so important! Especially during hard times! It's my way to download  stress, worries, and to drive down bad thoughts. Are you agree?

I have finally received my new Life Crafted albums and I couldn't wait to use the new page protectors! I am a fan of insta images and it was a lot I wanted to use one of it.  Why do I love pocket pages, Life crated album so deeply! Because this kind of creativity, storytelling has stole my heart! It's a way to feel better and to put outside what I have inside me. I often love to write, to tell something about me, my current feelings, my current mood. Small vittoriese are the best! They are the greatest one step at a time! Slowly but constantly!

So I told this little but so meaningful stories and I repeat to myself "don't  give up"!

To tell my story I have used the lovely October kit Flourish together the September kit The best part. I created my own embellishments with the fabulous READY FOR THIS stamps and stitching each comic strip to the background paper. I have added a phrase that reminds me to not give up, to embrace imperfection, to grow and bloom! 

Love the final result. Then I added a piece of paper from the july scrapbook add on kit. That phrase was perfect for this story.  In the end just added my computer journaling in a 3x4 journaling card and than a quote card perfect to me! Less Rush more Life! So meaningful!

What do you think? With the amazing Citrus Twist stamps you can create gorgeous embellishments! I can't finish to tell my stories without the use of a stamp! Love them all to pieces!

Thank you so much for watching and can 't wait to see how you use these so adorable page protectors. Hope to inspire you.

Have a great day.

Love, Lory

Pocket Page Challenge with Erica

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a weekly Project Life spread for the Pocket Page Challenge using the gorgeous October Flourish kit.

 

I used this week to document a fun weekend of gardening and some crazy weather that impacted the whole city. I love the fact that this blue quote card matched my sweater! And who doesn't love a before and after photo?

On my title card I used some of the leftover plant labels that I stamped for a previous layout (using the Ready For This stamp and Italic Alpha Stamp). I chose a hot pink ink to match the colour in the kit and I love how bold it is! It goes perfectly with the teal alphas in the kit.

I used the Digital Journal Cards to type my journaling this week, and added some numbers to create bullet points. This makes it a lot easier for me to get the words out. I also remembered to take a screenshot of a news article at the time so I could be reminded of the chaos it caused. A tiny word sticker and a cute monkey icon were all it took to jazz it up.

It's very rare that I have two journaling spots on my spreads but this 'currently' card was my favourite thing in the kit. I used the digital version again to add my typing. And to finish off my spread I added a healthy sprinkling of enamel dots to several cards.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. See you next time!

Fall Documenting with Erica

Hey crafty friends! Today I am sharing a page out of my 2018 travel album using the October Digital Tags, which had a great Halloween vibe! I was inspired by all the pieces that talked about witches brew. It immediately made me think of the cider tastings we did in the Fall on our trip to Oregon.

Most of the cards I used on this layout came from the digital Bonus 3x4 Cards. Layered up with some digital ephemera and a handy helping of enamel dots from the Life Crafted kit.

I used the beautiful Blue/Green Puffy Alphas in the kit to create a title on my photo.

In the center of my layout I added in a popcorn bag from the brewery. It was the perfect height to pop into the album!

I adhered it using one of the Adhesive Page Strips. This is my favorite way to add brochures and maps in a travel album. So easy! I created a mini layout on the back for an extra photo spot.

On the second page I used one of the Digital TN pages and resized it for a 3x4 card. I cut out the sentiment at the bottom of the page to use as a tiny phrase sticker.

A few more sprinkles of enamel dots and the whole thing came together!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope this have given you a little inspiration to use the digital files this month! 

3-To-Inspire with Krystal

Hi all! Krystal here with a 3-To-Inspire post for you all. I don't know about you, but I am LOVING the October Life Crafted Kit! It's full of gorgeous colors, beautiful fonts, and adorable embellishments. I knew I had to use it for my Week 31 Project Life page, so that's exactly what I did. 

Before I tell you all the details about how I created this page, let me tell you the three things I hope you'll take away from this post and try for yourself.

1. Create a rainbow of die cuts

2. Repeat a trio of embellishments

3. Layer, layer, layer

I love the look of layered die cuts, so I decided to layer several labels together on my title card. I used the labels to hold my dates for the week, then added a title in puffy alphas and a stamp from the "Ready for This" stamp set.

I repeated that same layered embellishment look in several places throughout my page. I added labels, die cuts, and stamps to create colorful clusters that help tell my story.

To repeat the alphas from the title, I added two more subtitles to my page on the other 4x6 cards. I love how they look in combination with my layered embellishments. 

I had a picture of a movie we had watched this week, so I decided it would be fun to create a rainbow of tickets using die cuts from the Digital Tags and Digital Ephemera. They add tons of color to the page and help tie in all the colors from the other pockets. 

To finish off my title card and movie card, I added a trio of puffy stars. Again this helped tie in all the colors of the spread and made the whole page feel more cohesive. 

And that's my page all done! I hope you were able to find some inspiration for using your kits and documenting your days. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you all back here soon!

 

Hybrid Pocket Page with Sabrina

Hey everyone! This is Sabrina from the creative team and I am going to share a fun pocket page that I did using the digitals for October. 

I make a scrapbook album that is all about me and the size I do that in is 8.5 x 11. So, the best way to get the pocket sizes, 2.5x3.5, is to go with using the digitals. I could have probably trimmed down the pocket cards in the kit but knew it would be easier to just use the digitals.  Another added advantage of using the digital was that I was able to make this pocket page work for a summer theme since I was able to re-color a few things.

I pulled out several of the pocket cards and trimmed those down to 2.5x3.5. Since I was documenting July from my perspective, I pulled cards that went with the stories I wanted to tell from this month. Like the “here for this” went perfect with the craft dresser I added to my creative space. Also the “right now” card paired awesomely with a hilarious meme I wanted to use. So, the main colors I focused on using were the pinks, oranges and yellows. 

I also took one of the cards, the yellow heart one, and layered it with an orange 2.5x3.5 rectangle I created in Photoshop Elements. I was able to then able to add a cool layering affect to blend the two layers together. Love how that card turned out! To finish it off I added in two tags- “day by day” and “us”- to it. I recolored both of those fit my color scheme. 

I also was able to use the digital cutapart elements and digital ephemera pieces and shrink them down to the size I needed for my pockets. I added a variety of cards, papers and digital elements to bring this whole page together. My finishing touches were just a few puffy hearts, enamel dots and a word phrase stickers. 

I love how Citrus Twist has the monthly digitals and then you get so much more out of your kits. I hope you enjoyed my project and seeing different ways you can use your digital Citrus Twist kits.

Have a great week!
