Bella Blvd ~ Documented #3 🌷

Hi everyone, it’s Anna here with you today. I have one last layout to share with you before I move on to Christmas! 

So I thought I’d use up my leftover supplies from Bella Blvd Documented which you can find in the shop here. 

My last full sheet of patterned paper was ‘captured’ which I used as my base. 

I had some tags and 3x4 cut apart elements left on the ‘daily details’ paper so I decided to create a grid design with them. Those that know my scrapbooking style will know that I love a grid layout! 

I mounted my photos on to the 3x4 cut apart elements and arranged them in a grid on some white cardstock. I then adhered this to my background paper and added a boarder sticker from the Doohickey Cardstock Stickers.

I added two tags at the top left and right side of the grid and the added my title. I used some of the Alpha stickers from the ‘Doohickey Cardstock Stickers’ and also some Doodlebug Designs Abigail Alpha stickers in Beetle Black - but there’s lots of colour options here.

I added some stickers from the ‘Doohickey Cardstock Stickers’ as well as some twine to the tags, which completed my layout. 

Thanks so much for looking and I’ll see you later in the month with my advent calendar!

Bella Blvd ~ Documented #2 🌈

Hi everyone, it’s Anna back with you today. I’m sharing my second layout this month using Bella Blvd Documented. 

You can find the collection in the shop here. 

I wanted to document a trip to the Berlin Wall which was full of colourful artwork. I picked a couple of photos and chose the rainbow elements of the collection to use for this layout. 

I used a sheet of white bazzill cardstock as my base and then trimmed ‘Routine’ in half vertically so I had every colour. Before I stuck it down I used Distress Ink on the cardstock in corresponding colours to match the colours on the paper. 

You can find a wide range of Distress Ink here. 

I added two boarder stickers to my layout from the Doohickey Cardstock Stickers - the black spotted one to the top of the layout and the rainbow boarder strip to the bottom. 

I mounted my two photos on to some bazzill cardstock and adhered them to my page. 

I ended up covering up lots of my rainbow distress ink which my second picture! But I did take a photo of the covered up part - below! 

I used the alpha stickers on the Doohickey Cardstock stickers to create my title and added various other stickers to my layout too. 

I added two tags from ‘Daily Details’ which I tucked behind my top photo. I punched a hole at the top and added some twine. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you next month where I’ll have one more layout to share using this collection - see you then.

Bella Blvd ~ Documented 📷 #1

Hi everyone, it’s Anna with you on the Papermaze blog today. This month I’m working with Bella Blvd Documented, which you can find in the shop here. 

For this layout I have used Clips as my base. I decided I wanted to make a large tag so I measured and cut a tag out of bazzill cardstock. I cut a strip of the black scalloped edging from ‘Routine’ and adhered it to the bottom of the tag. 

I mounted my strips of photos onto bazzill cardstock and adhered them across the centre of my tags. 

I then added my title using the alphabet stickers on the Doohickey Cardstock Stickers. 

I then began to cluster more of the cardstock stickers in two groups either side of my title. I fussy cut some florals from Be Happy, which I added into the clusters. 

I felt the layout needed some extra elements so I pulled out my box of wooden embellishments and added a couple of stars and arrows to the page. These colour of the wood tied in with my large tag. 

I punched a circle at the top of my tag and added a piece of ribbon. 

Thanks so much for looking! See you later in the month with a second layout using this collection.

Doodlebug Designs ~ Butterfly Kisses #2 💖

 Hi everyone, it’s Anna here today and I’m sharing my second layout using Doodlebug Designs Butterfly Kisses. You can find this collection in the shop here. 

To create this layout I began with a sheet of 12x12 bazzill cardstock as my base. I used my silhouette cameo to cut out a free floral cutfile by Paper Issues on white card - and I just backed the centre of the flowers with ‘sunny days’. I adhered the cutfile to the centre of the page. I then trimmed two pieces of  ‘Rainbow’s End’ and placed them either side of my layout, slightly covering the cutfile each side. 

I printed my three pictures and mounted them onto ‘sunny days’. Once these were positioned roughly where I wanted them I began to add my embellishments. 

I added a title using the Puffy Word Stickers and Bella Blvd Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers. 

I added extra details using the ‘This and That Stickers’ including tabs, arrows and word sentiments. I also used some mini hearts from the puffy word stickers to add to the centre of the flowers. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you next month, when I’ll be working with a new Simple Stories collection!

Bella Blvd - One Fall Day - Fun Fall

Hi everyone,

Claire back here today sharing my second layout with the One Fall Day collection from Bella Blvd. 

You can find it in the shop here.

For this page, I'm focusing on concentric circles and pulling together all the beautiful colours this collection has to offer.

I cut 3 circles of different sizes from the Leaf Pile, Hello Fall and Falling for You papers. I distressed the edges and layered each piece one on top of the other, but stacked them all towards the left of the circle, rather than layering them centrally one on top of the other. I hope that makes sense! Please shout if it doesn't.

I mounted my photo with the Grateful and Borders papers, again distressing the edges before adding this on top of the circles. I also layered a piece of the borders paper along the top of the photo, using a notebook punch to add extra texture.

To anchor the design, I created three ephemera clusters - the largest of which was to the right had side of the photos using those statement trees and some other pieces from the  Ephemera Icons pack.

Then, on the left side of the design, I wanted to create two smaller clusters, following the circular edge and tucking and layering leaves from the Ephemera Icons Pack and Ciao Chip Chipboard Stickers in between the edges of each circle.

Then, my favourite - a mixed font title! It's been a while since I've done this and I always love the effect. Both of these titles were from the Ciao Chip Chipboard Stickers and I love how it pulls all the colours together. For placement, I followed the circular edge again to keep the design cohesive. 

As a final touch I added some phrase stickers from the Doohickey Cardstock Stickers and sprinkled some Pinkfresh Studio Jewel Essentials into each cluster. 

I hope you've enjoyed this layout. It was so much fun to make and I'd highly recommend this fun collection for your autumn scrapbook pages. 

Until next month, happy scrapping!

Bella Blvd - One Fall Day

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Papermaze blog.

It's Claire here today and for this layout I'm channelling all the fall feels with the Bella Blvd One Fall Day collection. 

I started with a piece of blue bazzill cardstock from the Matchmaker Pack, opting to use this as my base.

Next, I picked three patterned papers to create vertical strips down each side of my page. I used:

• Grateful (striped) 
• Leaf Pile (orange) 
• Hello Fall (green) 

I distressed the edges and laid 2 strips flat to the page, and raised the Leaf Pile paper on foam. 

Next, I mounted my photos using the Fall Break paper and the orange and green cardstock from the Matchmaker Pack, adhering to the page on foam. 

Then the embellishments! Taking elements from the Ephemera Icons, Ciao Chip Chipboard Stickers and Doohockey Cardstock Stickers I built clusters around my photos, mixing materials and colours to draw the eye across the page. 

To complete the layout, I used the Ciao Chip Chipboard Stickers to create my One Fall Day title. 

This page was super fun to make and I hope it's inspired you to get your autumn stories documented. 

Check out the full collection in the shop here.

February Papermaze Kit - Part 3

Lynn here today, back with an extra post with the February kit. I made a total of six layouts this time with the brightly colourful kit. 

 Here is the kit:

For full details of the kit please see the first blog post.

Bright Lights - A photo of my girls when they met up at Kings Cross St. Pancras last month.

I gutted the 'Kissing Booth' paper to make a frame of 2.5cm deep. The white cardstock was trimmed to 26.5cm x 26.5cm. I used a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil THS003 Rays and Distress Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink, Over the top half of the card, I stencilled through with a blending tool, making the ink darker near nearer the centre of the rays. I diluted some more of the Ripe Persimmon and flicked this over the stencilling. Then I also used Black Soot, Mustard Seed Distress Inks and did a little more flicking. Once this was dry, I randomly stamped some hearts with the Black Soot Ink and the stamps included in the kit. 

One of the doilies from the kit was stuck to the bottom left of the rays. I store a strip of 'You're a Dream' paper, and with the black side up, I stuck this across the centre of the cardstock.

Using some scraps of Black and White cardstock, I double mounted my photo, and stuck this to the right side of the page.  The cardstock was stick to the centre of the frame.  I fussy cut a few tickets from the 'Kissing Booth' paper and stacked them to the left of the photo. Some of the tickets were glued to the base and others were raised with 3D foam pads. My title was made with two sets of letter stickers - Rockabye Black glitter foam Thickers and LDRS One Fine Day small puffy alpha stickers.

Finally, I scattered the Bo Bunny Candy Dots over the stencilling.

London - My Nephew and his family in London on their way to the theatre see Frozen.

I trimmed the 'Dream Chaser' paper to 21cm and placed this over a scrap piece of 12" x 12" cardstock. I arranged this with Aqua Bazzill trimmed to 8cm under the paper and 1 cm at the top of the paper. I added two strips of ready die cut Bazzill Basics Trims from my stash. 

With a Vicki Boutin - Colour Study - Bubbles stencil and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink, I inked dots over the area where my photos will sit later.

My photos were mounted onto the scraps of 'Dream Chaser' paper, using the flip side. I made a rosette with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits set, and scraps of the 'Ticket Booth' paper. I added a cardstock shape from a Doodlebug pack of Odds and Ends Chit Chat.

I made my title with a die cut banner, which I cut in white card and inked with Distress Ink. Then I added lettering with some Doodlebug Teensy Type Alpha Stickers in Lily White. The word 'London' was created with Thickers Cecily Glitter Chipboard Alpha Stickers.

More of the Teeny Type stickers were used for the date, and I also added a few more fussy cut tickets.

That's all for February, I'll be back soon with a new kit for March.
Thanks for looking.
