Paper Issues- Dad's Are Rad!

Hey Friends!

Today I am up on the blog sharing my layout for the

Dads Are Rad challenge.

I absolutely loved creating something different

then what I typically do, and when I saw this challenge, I knew exactly what line to use.

Dad Style by Bella Blvd was just perfect

for the look I was going for.

I used a combination of the 12 x 12 paper Grandpa's Pocket Watch to fussy the cut the clocks,

and I popped some of them up on foam tape.

I used the sticky sheet to add all of the awesome words to describe the Rad Dad in my life,

and then the border sheet to add a little balance

to the page.

The background paper is already distressed looking,

but I couldn’t help myself and had to add a little

Heidi Swapp color shine in gold.

Can’t wait to see what you create with the June Challenges!

Don’t forget to use code Courtney when checking out to save money on all the new collections in the store.

Hello Kitty Birthday Card

I made this card for a family member. She is a big HK fan.

YOU ARE LOVED! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing the layout I created using the So Happy Together collection. This is such a beautiful collection and I wanted to put every single piece in the collection on my layout. I decided to go with a free cut file from Paper Issues so I could use a ton of patterned papers. For backing my cut files I used a variety of pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I love having the smaller prints to use with cut files. I cut my actual cut file on the Happy Heart paper, I am obsessed with anything polka dot and black and white. I cut about an inch ½ inch on each side so I could layer the beautiful Our Story paper behind it. After I filed my cut file, I began laying a ton of ephemera, chipboard and stickers. There is a ton of great images and tiny word phrases. I layered a 4x4 photo that I trimmed down to fit onto the gingham 4x4 card and then I layered it onto the My Family paper. Then I finished my cluster with a w...

You and Me- Simple Stories

YOU & ME! Hey y’all! Courtney here again and today I am sharing a layout that I created using Autumn Splendor collection. This collection reminds me of my child hood. We always had these amazing vintage calendars in our house and every year when they were done my mom would cut them up to use as ephemera or decoupage the cutouts on something artistic. For this layout, I used a cut file from Paper Issues called You and Me and cut it out in black to make it pop off the page. Then I backed the cut file in Seasons if Change, the B side of the 4x4 elements, Grateful Hearts, Autumn Leaves, and the b side of the 2x2 elements. I used the Elm/Cream Ledger paper from the SN@P Basics as my background. I matted my photos on a piece of vellum and then on the Grateful Hearts paper. I layered them on either side of the cut file. I created three clusters with another cut file from Paper Issues called Collecting Leaves that I cut out of the Turquoise Dots paper. I then layer...
