June Papermaze Kit - Part 2

Lynn here today, sharing my next two creations using the delightful Papermaze kit for the month of June!  The kit is comprised of six double-sided patterned papers, two sheets Bazzill Basics cardstock and a whole bunch of co-ordinating embellishments. There is also a pack of four extra Bazzill Basics matching available to purchase to compliment the kit. Two  new layouts featuring baby Florence. this time I added some non-traditional elements to the layouts, in the form of cake toppers and playing cards.

Patterned Papers:
49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - The Flower Emporium - Starters Paper 3 & Starters Paper 9
Echo Park - Firefly - Bright Floral & Shining Daisies
Simple Stories - Sunny Days - Happy Days & Soak It Up!

Embellishments:

Pinkfresh - Chrysanthemum - Chipboard Flair
Rosie's Studio - Keeping Cool - Puffy Stickers & Frames
Cocoa Vanilla - Storyteller - Wood Button
Doodlebug Designs - puffy hearts - Bumblebee
Washi Tape

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Coconut Swirl, Patch (included in Kit), Petunia, Powder Blue, Tangelo & Yukon Gold (in Extra pack).

Happy Beeday - A few days after Florence's first birthday, she came to stay and we celebrated with a cake. 

The background for this layout is the Powder Blue Bazzill from the kit. Distress Oxide Inks (Faded Jeans, Wild Honey & Mustard Seed), were stencilled using a Vicki Boutin honeycomb stencil from her 'Art for Everyone' set. I sprinkled a little water over this to oxidise the inks. 

I cut a selection of 1.24" hexagons using a Memory Box die set. I used both sides of Bright Floral & Shining Daisies for the hexagons, I inked the edges and arranged them over the layout. 

I cut a piece of Soak It Up! 3.25" x 9", with the orange side up, and mounted my three small photos onto this. My photos were placed to the right side of the page, just over half way down.

For the title I used the cake topper I had for the cake, I also used bees from some cupcake toppers.

From the kit, I used the Rosie's Studio - Keeping Cool - Puffy Stickers and the Cocoa Vanilla - Storyteller - Wood Button. 

My journalling was added directly to the Bazzill with a fine black marker pen. The date was added using Doodlebug Designs Sunshine Alphabet Stickers - Bumblebee.

Daddy's Girl - Happy Families - Florence went to visit Daddy at work at the Butcher's in Blackheath. 

For this layout I used both sheets of 49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - The Flower Emporium - Starters Paper 3 & Starters Paper 9. I started by using the #3 paper as the base, and I cut apart #9 paper into the seperate sections to be used as photo mats and a journalling spot.

I trimmed my photos to fit within two pieces selected and cut from #9 paper, I rounded the corners using a punch, and inked the edges with Distress Ink. I also chose the postcard piece and treated this as before. I used some bronze alphabet stickers for a sub-title and added journalling to the postcard.

I cut my title using a Sizzix Bigz XL Alphabet die and some fine corrugated cardboard. I inked the edges and fronts of the letters. 

I found a children's 'Happy Families' card game, and selected the butcher family, I arranged these down the right side of the layout, together with some smaller traditional playing cards for the back view. 

Once all arranged, I stuck the pieces in place and added a date to the little banner flag on one of the photo mats, using a Sizzix Alphanumeric Tiny Type upper and lower die set. 

That's all for the June kit, I'll be back with the July kit soon. 
Thanks for looking.
