March Papermaze Kit - Part 2

Lynn here today, with more layouts from the March Papermaze Kit. Using papers, cardstock and embellishments from the kit, together with items from my own stash, I have two more pages to share with you. 

Before looking at how the layouts were made, here is what you will find in the kit:

Patterned Papers:
49 and Market - Whispering Way collection - Farm Fresh & Sunshine Days
Carta Bella - Pressed Floral collection - 3 x 4 Journalling Cards
Carta Bella - Feels Like Home collection - Floral Frame & Cottage Floral

The photo below shows both sides of the papers

Embellishments: Mintay Chippies Titles - 1 line, 3 Prima Cherry Sweet flowers, 6 Uniquely Creative Bohemian Escape Vellum, 2 Kaisercraft Frames, Kaisercraft Rhinestone Flower, Bo Bunny - Beautiful Things - Candy Dots, Hero Arts Clay Hearts, 12" Lace.

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Twig, Rosewood (included in kit), Classic Smooth White, Quartz, Guacamole and  Yukon Gold.

Outdoor Girl - Having seen many layouts created with tags as a main element, I wanted to try this idea. My granddaughter loves to be outside, whatever the weather. Here she is in one of her favourite places to explore - Abbey Wood Ruins.

I started with the sheet of Cottage Floral from the kit, I created a 1" frame by gutting this paper. Then I Trimmed the Willow paper to 11" x 11" and distressed the edges. I inked these edges of this paper and other items used on this layout with Gathered Twigs Distressed Ink. The Willow paper was them mounted over the Cottage Floral frame.

With the Classic Smooth White Bazzill I cut 6 tags, using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag Collection Die Set. I arranged these on the layout as shown and stuck them in place leaving the tops free so I could add the ribbon later. 

I arranged the photos onto three of the tags. printing a mini photo to pop behind one of the wooden frames. For the other frame I placed a scrap of the white card behind it and wrote the date in the centre. 

I used the top central tag for my title. This was cut using the Tim Holtz - Sizzix Alphanumeric Bold die set and three colours of Bazzill from a selection of scraps. I layered these up and added them to my tag.  

I embellished the tags with the Prima Cherry Sweet flowers and the Uniquely Creative Bohemian Escape Vellum flowers from the kit. Then I added the prepared wooden frames to two of the tags.  

From a sheet of Carta Bella - Feels Like Home - Element Stickers, I selected a few of the phrases to add to some tags and photos. I scattered some green gems over the page and finally, I tied narrow ribbons between each pair of tags, and tied them into a bow.

Pony Trekking Adventure - Here I am in the 1970's riding on the Isle of Wight, through the woods and along the beach at Seaview.

I started with the Twig Bazzill, a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil THS002, and some Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink. I created some bubbles in two parallel lines, across the page, so they will peep out from the patterned papers.

I tore a strip from the 3 x 4 Journalling Cards paper (floral side up), about 4" x 12", and mounted this over a deeper piece of Floral Frame paper (gingham side up), with about 0.5" showing above and below the floral paper. This was placed across the paper over the stencilling.

My square 70's photo was mounted onto cream card, and then onto mustard card scraps - both from my stash. This was stuck to the layout to the left of centre.

For the title I used a Mintay Chippies Title from the kit. This was coated with some Walnut Stain Embossing Glaze. I placed this to the right of centre at the bottom of the layout. 

I added subtitle details using two Sizzix die sets by Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Tiny Type - Upper and Lower case. I cut the numbers and letters from more scrap cardstock.

Finally, I used a pack of 49 and Market - Whispering Way - Laser Cut Elements to add farmyard items, animals and for flower pots.

That's all from the March kit. I'll be back with the April kit soon.
Thanks for looking
