May Product Highlight : Alphas & Thickers

Hi dear CTK friends! It's Jordan and Anna here today to share a couple layouts featuring some of the  Alphas and Thickers in the May Kits.

First out is me, Anna with this quite graphic design. I've used the gorgeous blue-black glittery Thickers by Shimelle Box Of Crayons from the May Paradise Add On Kit. And yet a few more goodies from the other kits as Malibu Main, Embellishment and Pattern Paper Play as well :)

Also I've used one of the Free May CTK cut files, It's fabulous.

Who can resist these lovely fabric die-cuts by Pinkfresh Studio?! 

I can't for sure, lol!

 And there you go - an delightful page made with lots of gorgeous Thickers (and a few other gorgeousness of course)
Now it's your turn, get your hands on your Alphas & Thickers :)

Hey, hey friends!  Isn't Anna's layout amazing?  I love the contrast between the dark, glittery Thickers and the background, and that star cut file...just too good!

I have another layout to share with you today using the May "Malibu" Scrapbook kit, the May Embellishment kit, and the alpha and a few papers from the "Malibu" PL kit.

If you're familiar with my projects you have probably noticed by now that I LOVE to use Thickers sentiments for my titles.  They're beautiful, always have the perfect sentiment, and are just so darn easy and quick!  And who couldn't use a time saver?

I  really love circles on my layouts.  Here I used a few various sized punches and cups and lids to trace larger circles.  Once I had everything in place and my title down, I felt like the layout was missing something.  I added the "love" to a punched circle using the alpha from the PL kit and it just fit.  :)

I finished the layout off by adding a few of the other sentiments and hearts from the Thickers pack.  That gold was just the perfect touch, don't you think?

That's it from us.  We hope we have inspired you to search your stash for Thickers and Alphas for fun, quick titles!

Please share your projects with us on our Facebook page and on Instagram using the hashtag #citrustwistkits.  We love to see what you create!

Have beautiful week!

3 to Inspire | Gina Rodgers

Happy Saturday all..it's time for another 3 to Inspire challenge!

Each Saturday, a member of our team prepares 3 prompts to serve as starting points for a project. In order to play along with us AND be eligible for a prize, you must create a project that includes all three prompts. Here are this weeks prompts:

1. use 2 journal tags

2. use some foam tape or tabs to create dimension

3. include 2 or more wood veneer embellishments

For this page, I used the May Hello Beautiful and Pattern Paper Play kits

I've used some foam squares under the flower die cut and also under a couple of the stickers in the title below. This is a great way to make something 'pop' and add dimension to your page

The wood veneer shapes and phrases are always a favourite of mine and being neutral, will go with any colours and patterns you chose to use

Now it's your turn! Simply create a project using the 3 prompts and upload to the CTK gallery with today's date [5/27] in the title for your chance to win a small prize from the CTK store. Have fun!

Quilted Squares with Leigh

Hello, Leigh here to share a layout using a punch and trimmed squares.

The full layout using the Add-on Kit for April, and Patterned Paper Play Kit. So many colorful and pretty patterns to choose from!

I chose a rhombus punch and the same card stock from my background to punch the diamonds first, then filled in the spaces with patterned paper in the color scheme, coral, yellow, aqua and navy. 

If you point all the centers of the white diamonds together, then fill in the patterns underneath, you can trim the squares to 2 3/16inches and place them as shown above.

Then lay your photo on top and add some embellishments and journaling. I created the journaling on my new We R Memory Keepers Typecast Typewriter. 

You can bend up some of the edges from the floral die cut for dimension and interest, and top it off with a couple splashes of mist.

Thank you for joining me today, and happy scrapping!

Leigh
