February Papermaze Kit - Part 2

Lynn back here today, with the second two of my layouts using the new Papermaze kit for February. A very bright, cheery and colourful collection. Ideal papers and embellishments for St. Valentine's Day as well as other occasions.

Here are the details of what you will find in the kit:

For full details of the kit please see the first post HERE or the shop website HERE.

Merry & Bright - My nephew and his family out for a Christmas meal.

I cut a large heart shape from some scrap paper and placed it onto the centre of the Grenadine Bazzill. With Distress Mica Stain (Tart Cranberry and Merry Mint) I sprayed over the cardstock. Once dry I removed the heart shape and trimmed the cardstock down to 26.5cm x 26.5cm.  I placed this over a gutted frame cut from Sweetheart Plaid paper.  

I mounted my black and white photos onto first black, then white cardstock. These were then arranged over the heart. 

To embellish, I used several items from the kit - I tied the ribbon into a bow and attached to the bottom right of the heart, just above this I placed the Prima flower and the two chipboard hearts. I die cut some leaf fronds from scraps of pink Bazzill and placed these above and to the side of my cluster of embellishments.

The title and the snowflakes are from a pack of American Crafts Vicki Boutin Evergreen & Holly - Joyful Phrase Thickers.

I found some phrase stickers from an earlier kit to place in the bottom right corner of the layout accompanied by a small black flair from my stash.

Hello Lovely Little One - My new great niece born at the end of last year.

I created this layout using the gutted section of the Sweetheart Plaid paper and the sheet of Mauve Ice Bazzill. I decorated the cardstock using Vicki Boutin's Print Shop - Off Beat heart stencil, and a mix of pink Distress Oxide Inks. I randomly stamped tiny hearts using the stamps included in the kit.

I cut a piece of Sweetheart Plaid paper to 16cm x 21cm, and placed it to the right of the Bazzill (plaid side up). The from the remains of this paper I cut a selection of hearts. I inked all the edges with Distress Oxide Ink. I ran a length of pink twine along the top of the paper, curling the ends. The hearts were arranged over the twine, overlapping one another, some were raised with 3D foam pads.

I mounted my photo onto some gold glitter card, which I chose to match the Rosie's Studio glitter foam word stickers provided in the kit. I arranged the word stickers on a scrap of pale pink Bazzill, then I mounted this onto more of the glitter card. I flipped one of the tangerine doilies from the kit to the reverse side and cut a 5.5cm circle from white card to place in the centre.
I added the baby's name to the centre using Doodlebug Alphabet Soup Puffy Cupcake stickers. I die cut Prim Poppy using a Memory Box die, inked them and added them to the left of the doily.

For the bottom right on the layout I place two more hearts, and a little more twine, tied in a bow. to this I added the date using Doodlebug Alphabet Soup Lily White stickers. Then I scattered a few tiny heart shaped buttons from my stash.

Finally, I added the glitter hearts included with the Rosie's Studio word stickers, a few pink hearts from the Doodlebug Alphabet Soup stickers, and a smattering of heart sequins.

That's all for today, I have more to share as there is plenty of paper and card remaining in the kit.
Thanks for looking.
