CTMH Everyday Moments Cricut Collection - Sweet Life

I was invited by Close To My Heart to create with the 'Sweet Life' double page layout project in the new 'Everyday Moments' Collection for Cricut.  The layout above is the entire project, using the mat colours in the image to create this page using the Cricut and cardstock.

I created a process video for this layout:


While using the 'Sweet Life' project I kept thinking of ideas I could use elements of it for in creating further pages and my next project was the use of sequins in the citrus segments.



Thankfully the camera was rolling while I put this together too so here's a process video:

I came up with a few other variations of this project too..

Using the Julep glitter paper in the cricut gave a whole new level of sparkle to this page. Seas The Day Collection created further embellishment options on this single page layout.


I cut the citrus elements from a stencil sheet and used this to daub ink through and to also smear some texture paste through to give a 'dirty' look for a more 'boy' page.


I decided to 'shrink' the citrus and frame to measure 6 x 6 inches so I could create a card.  I used the current mixins to go under the white daisy cut and some silver glitter gems for the centre of each slice of fruit. The 'life is sweeter' stamp was perfect for this card!


There are so many different ways you can use the projects in this collection as they are or 'change them up' to suit your style using different products or by just using some elements of the intended design.

Have Fun!

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team - applications are open!

  I am half way through my year as an Artisan Design Team Member with Stampin' Up! and applications are currently open for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to apply.  I have enjoyed this opportunity, the creative experiences, the teams I get to work with and the lovely supplies we are given (always exciting to see new design briefs and what arrives in my Artisan boxes). Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects.
