#Freedom

Today's scrapbook layout was inspired by @crafty_concepts_with_erin.  I was watching one of her YouTube videos where she was sharing her layouts and she created a layout using nothing but pocket page cards.  I have a ton of these cards in my stash that I never use, so this was the perfect layout to scraplift.  Check out her video that I linked in the supplies below to see her original layout.


I started out by searching for papers to match the Project Life Sparkle pocket cards.  I found the green and white polka dot paper and the dark blue paper from the Echo Park It's a Celebration paper pad. I used the green and white polka dot paper as my background paper and cut a strip of the dark blue paper to place down the center of my layout.

I staggered a combination of 3x4 and 4x6 pocket cards down the left side of the layout.  I matte my photo in white cardstock and layered two 4x6 cards behind the photo.  I used a 3x4 card underneath the photo and added a small amount of journaling to the card.


I used the camera, heart, and hashtag chipboard pieces from the Sparkle collection.  I wanted to add some additional glitter elements to the page so I grabbed my Recollections A2 glitter card set and found a pink and gold card that matched the Sparkle collection.  For the title, I cut "FREEDOM" from the pink glitter card using alpha dies.  I also used a smaller alpha die set to cut out "#LICENSED" from the dark blue paper.  I layered this on white cardstock and cut it into a banner shape.  This was placed below the heart on the left side of the layout.


I used my favorite heart die to cut out multiple sets of hearts from the pink and gold A2 glitter cards.  I glued a pink heart to the chipboard camera and scattered the rest throughout the layout.

This layout came together quickly and I was excited to have finally used a Project Life collection that has been sitting in my stash for years.  This layout included 9 cards from the collection plus I was able to use two A2-sized glitter cards to die cut the title and hearts.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this emboss...
