Raelene - June Kit - Pink Planner Spread

Hi Scrapping Fun Fans.
Raelene with you today sharing a spread in my planner.  Morgyn and myself were discussing our planner funk and so I challenged her to do a planner spread each month using the current kit and she returned the challenge.  Hopefully this will get us both planning more as using my planner really does help me.

In addition to the Tassel Clip in the Kit I made a clip with one of the Fabric Buttons so that I would have a couple of cute clips availabe to bookmark important things this month.

I also have some cute clips that I got from the Studio Fourteen 40







As I had used the gorgeous rose washi from the June Kit to reinforce my pages I wanted  to add some 7mm rose washi I got from Chiogami Designs about 3 years ago to my page edges to help balance things.
I trimmed it in half lengthways so that it didn't go over onto the days of the week.
If you haven't done this before just place a strip of washi (I prefer to go a little longer than I need) on  the cut line of your trimmer so that it is approximately half way on each side  of the cut line and trim.












I also used one of the flowers from the cut apart in the June Kit in the bottom right corner to cover the checklist.

The cute mailbox sticker is from Lady B Creations mark when I will be posting the July kits to those who have paid.

















As mentioned previously June's kit is inspired by friendship and one of my best friends who inspired this kit is celebrating her 40th at the end of the month so instead of sticking a birthday sticker on her Birthday I decided to theme the week using the June Kit.


I am looking forward to adding plans into this spread.

Today is the last day to take advantage of the discount code for renewing or starting a subscription in July, if you haven't renewed or subscribed yet and would love to get one of our kits in the mail then please fill out the form on the Subscribe Tab.

Lisa - June Kit - Love XOXO

Hello and welcome to my first Scrapping Fun Kit layout for June. I love the Pink floral theme of this kit.

I haven't matted the photo in this layout mainly because it is quite bold already and I wanted it to blend in amongst the flowers more than stand out.

I placed the kit white floral patterned paper behind the photo. I have fussy cut the kit printed roses and clustered them around the left side of the photo with the kit crocheted & handmade flowers. The lilies along the bottom are from my stash.I placed these without any adhesive first to make sure they fitted well and then took a photo of the layout before taking them off and sticking them down. I also used the crocheted doily, some wood veneer hearts and a button (all from the kit) to add a little more texture and balance.





Coming further across the bottom of the photo I used half a paper doily from the kit, The xoxo gold foil acetate embellishment is from Reject Shop. I always find it hard to adhere these without it showing through. I tried Tack-it Glue this time, its not very noticeable but has come through in the photography.






The kit tassel is just so soft and I have used this on the right corner of the photo to soften the black in the photo. I have clustered this with a kit button and kit wood veneer hearts. I cut the white flower chain to use the flowers separately and added one to this cluster.












Across the top of the page I have used the kit braided pink ribbon and trimmed it with some Pink silver trimmed ribbon I had in my stash.

Along the left bottom I have used another gold foil on acetate word "love" his is from reject shop. Again I have run the pink silver trimmed ribbon from my stash along the bottom of the page.









On the right bottom I have used the kit journal block and trimmed it with 2 white flowers from the kit and some flower shaped sequins I had in my stash.

I love how this layout turned out so soft and I hope you have enjoyed it too.

Tracey- June Kit- Mother's Day

Hey everybody, Tracey here on the blog today. How is everybody loving the June kit? I love the vintage feel that this kit gives off, it was perfect for some of my family photos!

To start off this page, I used a 12x12 piece of patterned paper that I bought in a pad from the Reject Shop, the paper is also pretty darn good quality too surprisingly, I'll be sure to go back to get more. Any who, I chose the pink wood grain because the colour was such a pretty shade and it matched with the kit and the wood grain themed in with the vintage feel to the kits pieces. I also sprayed the white Kaisercraft mist through the Kaisercraft 12x12 crackle stencil.


I  mounted the photo on a piece of the exclusive Scrapping Fun Kits paper and then fussy cut 3 of the rose cut outs to use in my clusters.  I mounted the back of my photo mat to a doily from my stash and then went ahead to colour the die cut rose from the kit.  To colour the rose, I sprayed the Pink mist by Kaisercraft on to a piece of plastic, I then used a darker pink from Colour Blasts (I can't remember the name sorry!) and layed the rose in the ink.  Once I had dried the rose I use the pink Colour Blasts mist to add a few splatters. Once the rose had been stuck down, I clustered some more of the kits embellishments, such as the wood veneer hearts, metal flowers and cotton flowers.

I then took the fussy cut roses that I had previously cut out and joined two of them using a small staple and adhered them to the corner of my photo, I used the die cut rose to cover up the staple.  I took my left over fussy cut rose and stuck the corner of it to the cute crochet doily that the kit included and then stuck them both to the opposite corner of the page. I carried on the same cluster of embellishments in this corner.

I wanted to keep my title simple, as usual. I went ahead with  'Mother's Day' because this photo was taken on Mothers Day this year- which happened to be my first! Yipiee!! To cut out the title, I use the Kaisercraft cursive capital die and plain white card stock.  I found that using a glue pen was the easiest way to glue down all of the letters because all of my other glues were too thick and blobby for such delicate work.

Lisa - May Kit - You're the Best Card


 Hello, I thought I would change it up today and do a card. I have loved making card since I was a child. My mum told me the other day, she has always loved my handmade cards they have just got a bit fancier now 😂

I have used some old Kodak 6x4 photo paper, that I found at the Op (Thrift) Shop for the white base.

The title was cut using my old original Cricut which I have mounted on a hanging flag of the Kit washi using the Kit Straw as the flag pole. I had some twine in my stash to fill the gap and add some more texture.

Across the bottom of the card I use a sea of the Kit Sequins & Beads, which I have adhered by painting PVA Glue across the bottom and sprinkling the Sequins & beads over it.

The left over layer of the Kits Handmade flower made a great base for a Red Flower I had in my stash along with a cork XO Circle Sentiment in the Middle.

I then mounted the the white 6x4 photo paper onto Black card and then again mounted that onto a White 5x7 Card a little off centre.





I Hope you have enjoyed my Card using the Scrapping Fun Kits - May Embellishment Kit. I am only new to card making so hope to do more of these in the future.

Now to find someone to give it to :)

Tracey- love you- May kit

Hey scrappers! I'm back today with another layout from the May kit, once again, a fairly simple layout.

I started off with black cardstock from Kaisercraft, I chose to mount my photo on a piece of the papers that we all received in our kits, for more interest, I layered two other pieces of kit paper under the photo.

My bottom cluster is my absolute favourite part of this layout because of its masculine flower that was hand made by the wonderful Raelene. I think she's done a wonderful job and making something so feminine appear to be so grungy and 'boyish'.  I used that as my centre piece in this cluster, I tucked one of the kits epoxy flairs under the flower to help make it look less lonely. I then used some of the wooden stars and sequins that were also a part of the kit to help fill in the cluster.  I felt as if I needed a base for my cluster seeing as it was quite large and it was on a dark background so I cut a part of the straw that we all received and glued it under everything.





I then proceeded to add another cluster in the top left hand corner of the page. I used the left over piece of straw to help tie everything in and I then added some of the sample washi tape which I also loved from the kit.  The washi acts like a grounding place for the 'sweet heart' sticker that I used as well as the other tiny word stickers in that corner. To finish off that cluster I added some of the sequins that I had used at the bottom.








At this stage, I was thinking that my bottom cluster was looking a little plain so I just added some more tiny word stickers and then added my title, 'love you'.

I hope that you enjoyed today's post and I hope that your loving your May kits!

Morgyn ~ May Kit ~ Fathers Day Card


Hi scrappers,

Morgyn here with a quick Fathers day card using the May Scrapping Fun kit.

This was my 3rd project created using the May kit - and I still have lots of bits left over (special project coming up in the next couple of months - keep an eye out)

I know Fathers day isn't until September (here in Australia) but it's always nice to have cards on hand rather than rushing at the last minute.


First I used 2 of the patterned papers to create my background - none of my pieces were big enough to cover the whole card.  I added the twine in between the pieces where there was a little gap.


Next I ran the black piece of paper through my big shot with an alpha die to spell out Happy fathers day. I stuck these down then got started on my embellishments.  A strip of washi tape with a metal gear in the top corner - I filled the middle of the gear with some of the mini seed beads.


Lastly I added a couple of washi strips (from my stash) and layered a few sequins together in the bottom corner.  This was such a simple card to create and I really LOVE the way it turned out.  Hopefully one of the fathers (probably my husband) will enjoy this come September.

As always I have a process video up for this card, I would love you to check it out.
You can find it HERE.

Have a great scrappy day

Morgyn

Morgyn ~ May Kit ~ My reads


Morgyn here sharing another mini spread in my Travellers notebook.

I am trying to document some of my favourite things throughout the year in this little notebook, I have found the Scrapping Fun Kits as perfect to accent my pages.

This month I am documenting 'My Reads' - these are my favourite series of books. I have read the first 3 at least 2-3 times and always seem to read something new. The Series is The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simons.

The blues in this kit match almost perfectly with the colours in the book covers.



First I created a background with some stamps (background stamps from Stampin' Up!) and ink. Then layed down a couple of washi tape pieces and used some kit papers to back behind my photo.


After adding my photo I worked on my embellishment clusters.  With a small space to work with in a Travellers notebook, my clusters are rather minimal - sequins in top and bottom corners, then a cluster of paper flower, metal gear and flair to the top right of the photo.  


Finally I added a title using an alpha stamp set.  I try to keep these layouts quick and simple to create.

If you would like to watch my process video of this spread you can check it out here.


Thanks for stopping by

Morgyn xx
