Laura's "True Fairytale" Layout

Hello everyone! It's Laura here, and today I am so thrilled to be back sharing my second layout this month, this time using a cut file.

I loved all the designs, but the woodsy, leafy look of this frame in particular stood out to me.  In 2014 I was lucky enough to do some traveling in Europe, and I have been using the Hello Beautiful kit to scrap some photos from my time in Germany.  In this case I used a photo of my mom and me at a castle we visited.  

I decided to cut out the frame as large as possible on a piece of 12x12 paper, and weave in some roses I cut from the patterned paper in the Hello Beautiful kit.  I used the pink ledger paper as my background and added a bit of mixed media water color to the background.  

To really make the page special I took a photo of the castle we visited and edited it in photoshop so it was a black silhouette, and made my own custom die cut to line the inside of the frame.  My goal was to make it match the black border and look like the vines were growing up and around the outline of the castle.  The mixed media helped blend it in with the frame.  

A few embellishments from the kit helped finished off this special page, and I'm happy to have another part of this trip documented in my scrapbook.

Lilly's Pen Pal Pocket Letter

Hey guys, it's Lilly! Welcome back to another blog post showing you guys one of my creations using the "Hello Beautiful!" collection.

This time around I created a pocket letter which completely brought me back to why I started crafting to begin with. There's something about pocket letters that make them so fun to create. Filling up the pockets and creating shakers is my favorite part.

So you guys can see I decided to stick with that royal blue in the collection to make the pocket letter stand out.  I added little extras like enamel dots, a pretty yellow bow, and pom poms to give it some dimension.

I love to layer, so I definitely incorporated that as well. I created a double shaker pocket with sequins to match the collection for a little hint of glitz.  Who doesn't love a good sequins mix? ;-) I also covered the fuse lines with some pretty gold trim..

The last few things I did were to cover the side with some pretty gold hearts washi and add a pretty tassel which has a variety of things on it from a tube of poms poms to some of the ephemera pieces and, of course, trim. And one one of the pockets I decided to add the flair buttons because I think it's cute to add embellishments to the front of pocket letters as well.  ;-)

Well that's it for this post you guys!  I hope it inspired you to create a pocket letter for one of your special pen pals.  See you soon!

A Traveler's Notebook Layout from Aimee

Hi there, It’s Aimee. Today I am sharing a page from my Traveler's Notebook using the “Hello Beautiful!” kit.

I’m not a huge TN gal, but tend to make pages from time to time. I do love the small scale though. It’s basically scrapping a tiny photo on a tiny page. And since I love all things tiny this is just perfect for me. I also love being able to use my toy printers to print photos.  To create this tiny layout, I used the pink ledger and a scrap from the geometric patterned paper, and I made the pink tag out of the beautiful rainbow 12x12 paper.

I just layered them altogether with a piece of washi tape. With foam adhesive “popped” up the “magic” die cut word over my photo and tag. I added some jute to finish of my tag. I also used a pink bow and some butterfly wood veneer to complete this tiny layout.

After staring at this TN, I think the only thing I’m missing is the date!  I often realize these little details long after my project is done, photographed and I’m here writing my blurb. Do you ever finish a project and add to it days later?

Shaker Pockets with Solange

Hey crafty friends! It’s Solange with another super fun project using the amazing “Hello Beautiful!" kit.

These shakers can be used to decorate a gift, to use as embellishments in your projects, to give a gift card, or to just spruce up happy mail! These are super fun and easy to make and you can use your fuse tool or your sewing machine. 


To do this project all you’ll need are plastic sleeves which you can find at your local office supply store, fuse tool or sewing machine, a fun sequins mix and your “Hello Beautiful” kit! 
Just fuse around your image, add some sequins and then close it to create these super fun shakers!

To add more character, you can also add some ephemera pieces and trim to the outside which will take your shakers to the next level! 


I fussy cut some images out of the dashboards such as the bunny and the Snow White to create one of a kind decorative shakers. 


I can’t wait to see what you guys create and the amazing shakers you’ll make!

Making a Tag Album with Kellie

Hi there everyone, Kellie here.  I'm back again to share a little creation I made using the new "Hello Beautiful!" Kit.

2018-05-12 16.19.55

A little tag album!   Have you tried one of these?  They are so fun to make.  This is only my second time making a tag album and won't be my last.  Not only that, I also got to use a bunch of older instax photos I'd been hoarding for years of my three girls.  Almost all were taken with my instax camera before I got the instax printer that, may I add, I absolutely LOVE to bits.

2018-05-12 16.21.14

Where do you start when making a tag album, you might ask?  for me it was all about the photos first. I start by grabbing a bunch of photos.  After I know I have enough photos, I sit with the kit and photos and work out what suits what and which matches and get the idea on how I want to go about it.  Then the fun part really starts - cutting up the pattern papers to make the tags!

2018-05-12 16.21.47

I work section by section or tag by tag.  I like to have everything laid out in front of me on my desk - all the ephemera, die-cuts, stickers and flair.   I really do make quite the mess, but having everything laid out helps to see what I have, making it easier to move things around until I'm happy with the result.  The "Hello Beautiful!" kit all works together so beautifully, I loved working with it to make this album.

This mini tag album came together so well and the kit is absolutely beautiful, which made working with it super easy. 

Single-Photograph Layout with Aimee

Hi there, it’s Aimee and today I am sharing how you can make a boy-friendly layout with the “Hello Beautiful!” kit.

 

Even though The Fairytale Club tends to be pretty girly, I was able to create a semi-masculine layout and document a recent trip.  I used a photo of my husband that I recently took on our trip to Charleston SC.  Using a piece of 8.5x11 white card stock {my got to}, I matted my photo on top of the teal geometric patterned. I cut it down from one of the 12x12 sheets in the kit.

Once I figured out where I wanted my photo and matting to go, I ran my cardstock through my printer and printed my journaling straight on to my white cardstock.

The back ground of the photo kinda had a forestry feel, so I layered the woodland creatures with different thicknesses of adhesive foam over my photo and matting.

I absolutely love using the strips at the bottom of the 12x12 papers. Here I layered one under my photo and on top of my matting.  I then stapled with my mini stapler 3 corners of my photo and matting. I then was able to slip one of the blue bird stickers under the top left corner of my photo.

Now for the title. I used some foam adhesive on the die cut words “Hello” + “Beautiful”. The two words just fit on my 8.5” wide cardstock.

I love how I was able to create a masculine layout out of this kit.  Have you tried making a boy friendly layout with any of The Fairytale Club kits?

Dianna's Monthly Planner Spread and Tag Place Holder

Hello beauties! It’s Dianna, and I’m back this week to show you how I used the “Hello Beautiful” kit to decorate my monthly spread. I also made a tag page marker!! Here we go: 

For the left side of my monthly spread I started by filling the empty spaces with some yummy layers of paper from the kit!  At the top I used a piece of the Fairytales paper and two die cuts (the pink flower and the word die cut "Spring"). At the bottom I used some of the vellum and layered it with aqua and a “You are beautiful die cut”. The vellum is a new addition to the kit this month! It’s gold foiled and gorgeous! Under that I glued some frilly laces and then added some washi above and a couple of stickers where I had important dates. 

On the right side of the monthly calendar I used those flower die cuts. They are my all time favorite!  Under them I layered more of the Fairytales paper (both sides! It has a wonderful handwritten look text). Some more trims below, washi and a bow die cut I used as a sticker to mark a date! Here’s a look at the full spread: 

I also created a tag page marker! 

This tag is super cute! Used my favorite Fairytales paper again! I just measured it to be a little smaller than my actual pages. Layered on some of the black polka dot and the back of the aqua paper. This flower I cut from the “Enchanted Forest” paper and of course added some more lace! Above the layers I added the word die cuts and that cute birdie(another fave!)  I punched a hole in the top after adding a heart punched from one of the papers and strung some pretty trims through! These look lovely coming out the top of my planner!!! 

Here are a few detailed shots: 

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!! 

Xoxo,
Dianna
 

"Hello Beautiful" Pocket Page, with Kellie!

Hi there everyone, Kellie here from Australia!  I'm so excited to share my first project and creation with the stunning "Hello Beautiful!" kit and my very first post as part of the new team, YAY!

2018-05-13 15.15.36

When the "Hello Beuatiful!" kit arrived in my crafty, eager hands I couldn't wait to get to work.  What I did notice was on the 12x12 pattern papers the strip along the bottom has the name of the paper as well as a little pattern.  I knew INSTANTLY I wanted to cut them all up and use them in my pocket page notebook.

 

2018-05-13 15.08.53

I don't know about you but I have a whole drawer almost full of photos.  Some are old and from my own childhood, some I printed myself at home and never used or doubled up, and some are from when I used to use my instax camera all the time.  One thing I'm TRYING really hard to do is to grab a photo from the drawer instead of printing new ones all the time.  This photo of my little "Bowbie" [nickname], has always been a favourite of mine and I knew it would suit the papers from the kit perfectly.

2018-05-13 15.08.49

On the opposite side I wanted to keep it rather simple to not take away from the photo and the pattern papers.  This is where the die-cut words and ephemera comes into play, and, can I just add, they are absolutely amazing quality.  I added, took away, added and took away.  Then this was the final result.

I hope that you've enjoyed my first creation using and showcasing the "Hello Beautiful!" kit.
