Spring Candy Basket with Carrie

Hello everybody! It's Carrie here with a cheerful Spring themed candy basket using the Happy Day kit.

As a general rule I like to have chocolate in my house at all times lol!  So when I saw this adorable basket/purse in the Silhouette Design Store I thought it might be the perfect place to store a piece or two while still looking cute on my kitchen counter.  Plus, I have a fair few birthdays coming up and think it would be fun for holding a gift as well. The basket design ID is #63379 by Lori Whitlock. I started out by enlarging my basket to as big as it would fit on a 12 by 12 sheet of paper using my Silhouette software. Then I used a white piece of textured cardstock and ran it through my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the base. Next I took one of the planner inserts that had a blue background with polka dots and cut out a piece to layer over the front of my basket. Again, I used my Silhouette Cameo for this. The strips on the sides are from the same sheet of paper, and I measured what size they should be with a ruler and cut them down to size with my paper trimmer.  Then, I used red-line tape on the inside flaps and finished the assembly of my base.

Now that my base is complete I decided to find some flowers from the Silhouette Design Store to add to the front of my basket.  I ended up choosing design ID #198967 by Carina Gardner. It came with quite a few flowers as well as a couple different types of leaves.  Again I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut everything out. For all the leaves I chose the planner insert with a super fun pink writing paper design. The backside is a light purple and blue background with a cute kitty, so most of the leaves are pink but three of them I turned around using the purple or blue.  For the center of each of the flowers I used the same white textured cardstock for consistency.
 

I knew I wanted to use lots of color and patterns for the actual flowers to make them pop, so one is cut from a planner insert with a pink background and retro blue graphic design that reminds me of an eye. The other two are cut from 12 x 12 papers. I chose the ticket design, and and the design cut into a bunch of pieces and colors. All are super colorful and fun! Now that all my pieces are cut out it's time to assemble the flowers and decide where to place everything on the front of my basket. I love this part because I get to be creative :-) First I attached the flowers, next the fern-like leaves, and lastly the large and small leaves of the same shape. To finish decorating I decided to add iridescent Swarovski crystals to the center of each of the flowers, and tied the handles at the top together with a pink ribbon.  Now my project is all done and ready to be used!

Thanks for taking a look at my project, and I'll see you next time!
Cheers!! Carrie

Little Paper Clips with Henny

Hello 👋🏻 and happy Monday lovelies... it’s Henny again and today I wanted to share with you these little paper clips I made for first time using various materials of papers and elements from this kit.

So what I basically do is just trim two different double sided (patterned) pieces of paper and cut them into strips in bigger and smaller sizes and pictured below.

The bigger one measures approximately 5”x1.5” and the small one measures just slightly smaller than the bigger strip of paper. Trim a triangle shape from the ends of both strips to make banners as shown above.

Then fold each strip in half, but crease lightly at the top, leaving some room as you’ll need to slip the paperclip on later. Then fold the other smaller strip over top of the first banner. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Slide banners over the paperclip, and then you can crease them tightly if you wish to. Next all you need to do is decorate your clips however you like!

 The cute little paper clips are so adorable, they certainly will make such cute additions in Planners, bibles, books, tags, as gifts to your crafty friends or anything you can come up with.

 I hope you have enjoyed a look inside my little project today and it gives you lots of inspiration for your own.

Until next time,
Henny

Adeline's Faithful Life TN

Hi my Fairy friends,
It’s Adeline today for the Fairytale Club’s blog, I have not yet given you all the secrets contained in my traveler notebook!!!!! I think it might inspire you for yours.

So let me introduce you to my faithful life traveler notebook, I chose Julie Nutting from My Prima Planner’s journal for this purpose.

I love decorating my traveler’s cover with some charms and die cuts, so I cut a project life card from “Happy Days” kit, in love with this cherry heart design and I slipped it into the elastic and finally, I added cute die cuts, it’s very springy, don’t you think?

I think it adds a little cheerful to my cover, I find it so much prettier than not putting anything.

Every month I do the Faithful Life Challenge from The Reset Girl, a challenge based on the study of the Bible.

Each month a different theme and each week some verses to study. I love this challenge because it allows linking spirituality and creativity.

So this week, I highlighted the verse of Esaie with the kit with its beautiful huge flowers and the others cute element of “Happy Days” kit.

First I made my title by combining some different piece of the kit and mine.

My gold paper napkin in order to add light that I cut, on it I stuck a label and strips of washi and I finished with the little cat and bow die cuts.

For the second part of my page, I cut a 12x12 paper with the flowers pattern, these flowers are so beautiful can’t resist to add them in my notebook.

I cut the outline of the flowers, I love this oversize side of these flowers that makes us feel like Alice in Wonderland!!! Tiny !!!!

And finally, I added some gold foil transparent stickers, my favorites!!! which remind the gold paper napkin and some little die cuts.

I hope you have appreciated my post, see you later for other fairy project and have a good Easter time with your family and friends, enjoy!!!!

With love,
Adeline

Visiting Tinkerbell with Tiffany

Hey everyone! Tiffany back again with another spread in my Disney World album using the Happy Day kit. I absolutely love how this spread turned out! It looks so magical and fun. I documented the photos of when my friend and I met Tinkerbell at Magic Kingdom. The whimsical florals and butterflies from the kit were absolutely perfect to use on this spread because they really capture the essence of Tinkerbell’s fairy garden home.

So I began by matting all of my photos on some of the pink papers from the kit (I used the pink plaid pattern and the pink with white polka dot pattern from the dividers and papers). I started with the right page first and played around with the arrangement. I used some of the outtakes the Disney Cast Members took of us talking to Tinkerbell for this page. I wanted the photos to sort of cascade down the page, adding the flowers and butterflies on either side of the photos to balance out the composition. But at the same time, I wanted to create movement, so that your eye follows the flow of the photos across the page.

I used this black and white sketched heart paper I’ve been hoarding from the Take Note kit for the background. A few of the flower die cuts are also from Take Note and I love how they matched so well with the flowers from Happy Day. All of the butterflies are from the Happy Day kit, I just had to fussy cut a few more of them from the paper, since I needed more than the three that came in the ephemera pack. I rearranged all of the elements on this page before finally gluing them down. I then embellished with a few matching enamel dots from my stash.

For the left page, I used one of the A5 planner dividers from the kit for the base. I’m really using the front of the divider for the previous spread in my album, but the back of it was this beautiful purple pattern that I thought worked well with my photos, so I left it as is and used it for my background. So for this page, I used the main photo of us with Tinkerbell. I also used this “Take Me to Neverland” image I found online and made a little cluster around my photo with more of those florals and butterflies from the kit. I placed everything down so that it felt like there was some circular movement to the cluster, especially in regards to the butterflies, and added a few enamel dots from my stash to emphasis that. I also placed the butterflies down in a way that I could then prop their wings up, giving the entire spread added depth and dimension. For the title, I used this “Hi” puffy phrase sticker from the Take Note kit, along with some white puffy alpha stickers from my stash to spell out “Tink.”

I love how this spread turned out. It’s both fun and whimsical, but also a bit dark and moody at the same time, which I think perfectly describes Tinkerbell. Everything just came together so well. I hope you enjoyed!

Adeline's Happy Days Planner Dashboard

Hi my Fairy friend, it’s Adeline today for The Fairytale club’s blog, it’s time to say goodbye to Winter and say hello to Spring. 

Beautiful days are coming so the new kit called “Happy Days” falls right, a fresh and colorful kit with pretty new design, love it so much especially the cute little cat, the ice cream…

So I created a new set up for my planner kikki k lilac which is just perfect for this kit with pastel shades with a dominant of pale purple.

Creating a new set up for my planners is the thing I prefer to do during my planner sessions, so that’s so that's what I did with this kit that inspires me a lot.

First I made my dashboard, I choose the cute spring A5 insert with butterflies, I just perforated the paper to be able to integrate it into my planner.

I decided to start with the bottom of the insert with a little shaker card and a gold paper napkin. I cut the project life paper, I chose the one with the flower, it reminds me of the Spring season, perfect!

For this shaker card, I used the flair button packaging, I always try to reuse product packaging. I inserted the card in the packaging and I added some sequins to have the touch of glitter that I love.

I added some finishes with the red heart die cuts that stand out on the pastel colors, so I added some pieces of transparent washi tape and finally, I added the letters LOVE in 3D.

I took the project life paper and I cut the girl picture, I added it to my insert, the glamor touch of this setup.

I added some details like the word “SWEET” and the ticket I stapled to the paper.

I think this part is my favorite in creating my planner decor: the inside of the cover, my friends say I’m part of the “ team chargée” in French, which means that I like when there is a lot of decorative element in my planner, it's true that I like it …

I really like this accumulation of dies cuts, project life card, paper clips and napkins.

I love creating paper clips with the kit flair buttons, so pretty and that gives relief to my set up which it’s important to me like the brightness of foil and glitter.

I hope you have appreciated my post, see you soon for another post with “Happy days” kit.

Kiss from France,
Adeline

Adding Foil To My Journaling with Carrie

Hello everybody! It's Carrie here with another colorful spread in my 6x12 Project Life album using the Happy Day kit. This time around I decided to add foil to my journaling, which is actually the most common way I tend to add foiling to my scrapbook projects.

To start off I decided to trim one of the planner inserts down to 3 by 4 inches. I used that lovely light purple paper with a design that reminds me of a retro geometric eye. I super love that paper! Next I typed up my journaling on my computer and printed it onto the 3 by 4 inch card using a laser printer with black ink. Then I plugged in my Heidi Swapp Mink machine, chose setting number 4, and picked out a pink foil. (You can also use a regular laminator if you don't own a Mink machine.) Once my machine was warmed up I layered the pink foil over my card and ran it through ( sandwiched in a protective plastic that came with the Mink machine, however you can also just use a piece of plain copy paper folded in half). I just love the way the light pink pops with the pale purple!

With the journaling card on the left side of my spread complete, I decided to add one of the purple die cut flowers directly onto the photo of my daughter eating her fruit snacks. I wanted the leaf of the flower to match the green in the photo so I added yellow Stickles (glitter glue) which turned it the perfect shade of green. To finish off this card layered the "sweet" flair on top of the flower.....Which I thought was fitting since the fruit snacks she is eating in the photo are quite sweet :)

Since I knew I wanted to add the date somewhere, I decided to use some Thickers to spell out 01.05 directly on to the other 4 by 6 inch photo in this spread.  And that's it for the left side.

The right side of my spread is actually a half-page insert that is 3 by 12 inches. I added my photo to the middle pocket page and decided to cut another one of the planner inserts down to 3 by 4 inches. This time I chose the paper that reminds me of cherries, except in place of the red cherries there are red hearts. Super cute! I knew I wanted to add gold to this card, so I took two of the gold foil hearts from the sticker sheet and attached them to a sheet of transparency. Then I cut them out and layered them behind the "cherries" from the die-cut pack. To add a little bit more dimension I decided to pop it up over one of the "cherry" designs on this card. As a final touch, I added more yellow Stickles to the green leaves, again so they would match the green in my photos.

For the final pocket in this spread, I decided to add another filler card. This time I cut down a piece of 12 by 12-inch paper to 3 by 4 inches. Since the design on this paper reminded me of the transparency that came in the kit I decided to layer the two together, and I really like the pop of gold that it adds. Next, I took two more of the flowers from the die-cut pack and layered them onto the card popping them up with foam adhesive. Again, I added yellow Stickles to the leave of the rose. Lastly, I used the same thickers from adding the date and spelled out "YUM" since this card is directly across from the fruit snacks photo. And that it for this glittery, metallic spread. I hope you enjoyed it and found a bit of inspiration.

See you next time,

Cheers!
Carrie

Double Sided Shaker Dashboards with Henny

Hello and happy Monday lovelies... Henny again today, sharing with you my new shaker dashboard I made for my A5 size planner. 

So loving the designs and colors in this “Happy Day” kit. Can get enough of these cute adorable houses 🏠 which I’ve chose it and made as my shaker dashboard.

So what I did was cut all of the windows out. Then I used one sheet of clear pocket and placed on the back of this house. Before I filled up the pocket with sequins or confetti, I secured the pocket by taped every squares in every window, and leave the top pocket stayed open to fill with sequins later on. 

Once I have the pocket taped in, I used my “permanent waterproof marker” to draw the lines on every windows as the imagination of the window. Then I filled it up with lots of sequins and confetti, and closed the pocket with clear tape one side adhesive. 

And added embellishments with some diecuts from the kit.

Here’s the back side of the dashboard. I thought the bag of sequins was too plain if letting it be like that. I wanted to cover all of the appearances taped so I used one of the dividers from personal size ones, chose this kitty design and thought it would be perfect to hidden the tapes.

Anyways, I cut the kitty face off from the picture, then using my waterproof marker again and start drawing the kitty face. And there we have a double sided shaker dashboard ☺️.

Can’t say it done yet before completing the planner pocket, isn’t it? I simply love with how everything has turned out. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed your time reading this by like this post. 

Until next time 😉.

Sincerely yours,
Henny

“Me & You” Mermaid Disneybound with Tiffany

Hey everyone! Tiffany here with a simple mixed media project for my Disney mini album using the Happy Day kit. My last trip to Disney was back in October/November of 2017 and I still haven’t done my album for it. But I thought it would be great to create it with different bits from The Fairytale Club kits. For this spread, I did a mixed media layout with a simple pocket page.

For the layout, I wanted to document photos with my friend and I Disneybounding as Ursula and Ariel at the Magic Kingdom. We were going to do Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party in the evening, so we decided to dress up for the day and take lots of photos at the park. We took quite a few in front of Cinderella’s Castle, so I wanted to scrap those. For this layout, I used a selfie we took. I prepped my white cardstock first though with a bit of acrylic paint. I used mermaid-ish colors, so a lot of teals, purples and light pinks. I then took my mermaid scale Jane Davenport stencil and added a bit of modeling paste to add some scales and texture to my background.

Once my background was dry, I began building my photo cluster. I layered a white doily and some purple and white tissue paper behind my photo, which I matted on the mint with white polka dot paper from the kit. I also layered a bit of the pink and white striped paper behind that as well. When I had all of that down, I began embellishing. I added two of the heart die cuts on the top left corner of the photo, and used the “me & you” gold foil die cuts from the Take Note kit as my title. I then sprinkled some enamel dots from my stash, along with a clear sticker that says “good times” and a pretty bow paperclip.

For my pocket page, I only used one photo of us. I embellished that photo with a banner die cut from my stash layered on top of this purple with white polka dot paper from the This Is Halloween kit. For the 3x4 pocket next to the photo, I used the “Happy Day” card from the cut apart sheet. Then for my 4x6, I used a Simple Stories transparency that says “magic” and stapled my journaling, which I typed and printed on vellum. I kept these pockets simple because I wanted to use that transparency but didn’t want cover too much of it up. I like the idea of it being a window to see through to the page behind it.

That is my spread. I hope you enjoyed it. It’ll go nicely into my Disney mini album that I’m making for this trip!
