Nikki here, with a new Inspiration made with the beautiful June Kits. This time I take a combination of the Life Crafted Kit and Add On Kit.
The journaling card with the words "Happy Thoughts" caught my eye. I wanted it to be the center of the layout next to the photo. For this I tried to work tone on tone and set small highlights that round off the layout but do not distract.
I prefer to decorate with many different materials and sizes of embellishments. This creates a diversity and liveliness. I make sure that I pick up the main colors of the layout again and only set one or two accent colors. In this layout, the main color is purple and the accents are yellow and light blue.
Hello CTK Friends! I'm here to share how I was inspired by today's Sunday Sketch. I instantly saw this sketch turned 90 degrees, and it also inspired me to cut a long piece of cardstock from the June Scrapbooking Add-On kit and fold it to create a fold out on the left.
After trimming, punching my holes, and folding it where I wanted it, I trimmed the long 3x8 card from the Life Crafted kit to stitch under my pattern paper to start the layered look from the sketch inspiration. Then I continued that inspiration by adding labels, die cuts, stickers, and stamping from both the June Life Crafted and Scrapbooking Add-On kits.
I used a trimmed piece of that same larger pattern paper, to adhere on the back side of that 3x8 Citrus Twist Life Crated card (there on the left by the fussy cut flowers).
I used one larger photo on this left side in black and white framing it with a Life Crafted die cut frame, and labels and stickers from both kits again. I fussy cut the flowers from the June Scrapbooking Add-On kit to create a larger focal point to draw attention to the photo.
I added more stamping using the June 2020 Traveler's Notebook, Cravings, and Yes Stamp Sets.
The right side is a base of white cardstock, with the same pattern paper from the left, layered and stitched. Again, I'm drawing inspiration from the sketch with the clustering of papers and embellishments. I finished that top off with stamping from the Yes Stamp Set.
For my journaling, I used a Crate Paper die cut from the June Scrapbooking Add-On kit to tuck under my collage of photos and Life Crafted frame die cut, then finished it with a heart.
I have two more projects to share from this month's Featured Projects. The videos are on the Citrus Twist YouTube channel here or you can watch it below.
I used just the iPhone from the Cravings cut file, making it large enough to cover my page. Did a screen shot of my phone, printed it and put it inside this cut file. I'm not as attached to my phone as my almost 12-year old daughter, so my phone isn't highly organized LOL. But like the journaling says, my phone may be old now, but it does all that I need and that is enough! (until I can finally get a new one)
I used the Yes Stamp set to add some detail to the home button. And used the Life Crafted die cuts to frame the phone. The papers are all from the June Scrapbooking Add-On kit.
I really love the alphas in the June Scrapbooking Add-On kit. The multi colors are so pretty and worked so well here.
One last project to share! I was so drawn to the rainbow pattern paper from the June Life Crafted kit. I grabbed the Loft gift card that my daughter gave me for Mother's day and had to use it with that paper. Since COVID, our store has been closed. So getting the gift card was not only perfect for me, but making me miss work.
I used the June Scrapbooking Add-On pattern papers for the left side, and ended up creating a grid with journaling and stamping, and a mix of die cuts and stickers from both kits.
I used the clear frame from the Scrapbooking Add-On kit for my photo and then used the die cut hearts to foam adhere from the Life Crafted Kit.
Didn't really need too much and didn't want too much on this right side. That paper is just too gorgeous to cover. This die cut from the Life Crafted kit says it all and was the perfect color agains the paper. I just used a bit of Scrapbooking Add-On paper to help it pop a little bit more.
You can watch the video below to see how both of these came together. Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have enjoyed these kits!!
Hello friend! It’s Angela and I have a new spread of my Life Crafted album to share with you. Cravings June kit is so inspiring and seams to be designed on me and my everyday routine. For example, let's talk about Pizza die cuts and stamps! You have to know that we, my family and I, eat pizza every Friday! I used to make pizza myself when my sons were small. Later, when I started working on night shifts, I stopped making it. Recently, during the lockdown, despite it was very difficult to find flour and yeast, I started again and since mid March, I've been making pizza every single Friday. Sometimes, I’m also able to engage every family member in making it.
So, the protagonist of my spread today is pizza!
To document those hilarious days of making mess rather than making pizza together, I wanted to create something fun. So, I made an interactive page and a shaker pocket. I stamped a big photo of a pizza and I cut it round, following its shape. To make it fit inside the album, I cut a portion on one side. This way, I've been able also to make four holes. Then, I cut a triangle of the photo in the shape of pizza slice and I glued it on acetate.
On the acetate, I stamped the phrases 'I want some more' from June Life Crafted Travelers Notebook stamp and 'get in my belly' from Cravings Kit Stamp. The photo of the pizza is interactive. In fact, the triangle of the photo slides up and dow. To make it, I backed the photo with white card stock, without gluing the triangle so to allow it to move.
The first page of the spread is actually the one with the two photos of my youngest son Filippo while is kneading pizza dough. The photos are 3x4 inches and I put them in page protector #2.
Beside, I used another page protector #2 with a journaling card in the lower pocket. With the top pocket I created a shaker, to remind the fun of cooking together. The confetti inside the shakers are red sequins and slices of pizza that I stamped and fussy cut using Yes This Is Life stamp.
Moreover, I used the same pizza slices to create a background on the journaling card, simply stamping with light grey ink.
On the opposite side side, I placed the photo of my men preparing pizza with their favorite ingredients. Beside is the photo of the big pizza with the slice portion 'closed'.
To decorate, I used just a few pieces here and there, like a chipboard, a die cut, a puffy sticker heart, all from Cravings kit.
On the back of the photo, I wrote another bit of journaling. I adhered a title using the die cut Pizza Night! and a label where I stamped Food Is Culture using Cravings Kit Stamp.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my fun page and hopefully feel inspired to create with June Cravings kits!
Sheree here
to share a Life Crafted spread with you featuring the super gorgeous “Cravings”Life Crafted Kit!
With some
of our pandemic restrictions recently being eased, my husband and I enjoyed a
lovely Saturday morning coffee date at one of our favourite coffee shops for
the first time in weeks.It’s something
that we had really missed so we enjoyed every minute of it!That’s what I chose to document in this
spread today.
For the journaling
I used one of the subscriber bonus printable journaling cards and added the text
in Photoshop before printing.I then
stitched around the edge with my sewing machine, stamped the date and added the
chipboard coffee sticker.
Next I added
the gorgeous yellow floral die cut with foam dots to another journaling card,
tucked some leaves in underneath and added a stamped phrase from the June2020 Life Crafted Traveler’s Notebook Stamp Set.I also stitched across the stamped piece and
added a border on this card too.
For the full-sized
page I used the yellow patterned paper for the background.At the top of the page I added two puffy stickers
and stamped the word ‘yes’ from the June 2020 This Is Life “Yes” Stamp set onto
white cardstock before adding it above my photo.
My photo
was cropped to a square and I added the die cut frame from the ephemera pack
over the top.I used a paper clip from
my stash in the top right corner of the photo, then added a little tag that I made
from white cardstock, stamped with the little coffee cup from the “Yes” stamp set.
Under the photo
I added another stamped sentiment from the “Yes” stamp set and the ‘documented’
piece from the June 2020 “Cravings” Digital Tag Printable.To finish the page off I added stitching to
the stamped and printed pieces and a border around the edge.
I hope you’ve
enjoyed seeing how I’ve put this page together using this month’s life crafted kit!
Thanks for
much for joining me on the blog today.I
look forward to sharing another project with you soon!
It's Angela here with a new Life Crafted layout made with the beautiful June Cravings Life Crafted Kit. Today, I have a 3-to-Inspire challenge for you. Here are the three prompts to follow, if you'd like to play along with us:
1. Use three photos
2. Use a digital file or a cut file
3. Use stamps with at least one colored ink
You can create a layout on your Life Crafted album, a Traveler's Notebook layout or a pocket page spread too. What is important is to follow the three prompts I've just listed above.
Here is what I came up with:
For my spread I used three photos of 3x4 inches and I put them into two page protectors #2. I embellished each photo using a few pieces of chipboards and puffy stickers from the kit, in purple and in yellow.
Between the two page protectors, I created a transparent page out of a piece of acetate. On the acetate I sticked one of this month cut files that says 'Focus on the good stuff'. I cut it using the purple patterned paper of the kit and I sticked it on the acetate using my little Xyron. You can find the cut file here, on the Citrus Twist shop.
Along the side of the acetate page, I attached a label that I cut from the label cut apart sheet. I decorated it with some die cuts and I stamped the phrase 'Only This' from June 2020 Traveler's Notebook stamp set using purple ink.
I hand wrote the journaling directly on a 3x4 inches journaling card. On it, I stamped a few words and phrases, too. The ampersand stamp is from Yes stamp set. I stamped it first in black and then with purple ink, keeping it a little bit off set from the first black stamp. 'This' is from June 2020 Traveler's Notebook, as well as the purple phrase 'my favorite show'. I stamped it in black and colored the inside with a yellow marker.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you'll play along with us and the 3-to-Inspire challenge, sharing your projects on the Citrus Twist Facebook Fan Page. I can't wait to see your beautiful projects!
Hi everyone, Diane here with a really quick spread in my Life Crafted album.
Ever find a die cut and know you have the PERFECT photo for it? One tiny little die cut inspired this whole page! When I saw the word "Snuggles", I knew almost immediately how this page would come together. I printed a full page photo at 5 x 8.25 as well as a smaller photo to fit the little floral frame.
I chose to use as much of the lovely lavender elements of the kit as I could, so I pulled out all the floral die cuts and a couple of journalling cards. Then I grabbed this lovely, lavender paper and trimmed it down to fit my page. I added my photo to the frame, then added the die cut and adhered it using some craft foam for dimension.
I added the florals to my full page photo and then grabbed a 3x4 page protector to add the journalling cards to. I couldn't believe my luck when I realised I could use both the front and back of BOTH cards, which made things very simple. I typed my journalling and added a couple of smaller die cuts plus a few tiny word stickers and call this spread done!
Here's a look at the process this layout took ...
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to share your Life Crafted pages in the Citrus Twist Facebook Fan page! We'd all love to see them!
