Tiki, I Love You! Tags with Carolee

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a fun project I did recently using the new Tiki, I Love You! kit and some of my favorite dies! I love making little tags for packages or to use in layouts and often times, I'll just sit down and have a tag making session. That's what happened here. Let me show you!

First up is this let's go tag! I love this one and think it would look great on a travel themed layout, especially tropical travel. With these types of smaller projects, I like to use the back sides of the personal sized dividers since the patterns tend to be smaller and that's what I did here. I used a stitched circular tag die and cut it from the blue and white stripe paper. Next up, I adhered the "let's go" to the tag. After that was the luggage (also, is it just me or does everyone want those bags in real life?!) Lastly, I added the flower sticker just to add that extra bit of cute!

The second tag is this one which I call Hello Sunshine! I imagine it going great on a layout for an afternoon in the sun! With this one, I stacked two tags of different sizes, using a bit of foam tape to add dimension. After that, it was time to go die cut crazy! I layered the flower over the drink and frond then placed the "hello sunshine" sticker over that. Finally, I felt like it needed a little glitter and the two butterfly sequins did the tr

Last up is this Happy Beach Day tag. I thought it'd be good for a beach day layout or as a cute birthday gift tag. First I cut the tag from the pink polka dot paper. Next I used a doily die to cut a layer from the vellum sheet. After that, it was die cuts, the frond and the flamingo first, then the words. I added a couple of stickers and it was done. Easy peasy!

I hope you all enjoyed hearing my process for these tags and that they encouraged you to try your own. If you do, tag me (@onecraftypotato) and @thefairytaleclub in your picture so I can see! Until next time, happy crafting!

Adeline's A5 Planner with Tiki, I Love You!

Hi my fairy friend,

Summer is definitely here and I just received my new Fairytale Club kit called “Tiki I love you”, I know I said it each time but this kit is awesome!!!!!!!

Perfect for my girly world, this summer I am obsessed with mermaids so I was happy that Andrea created the kit with this theme!!!!

Today I share my Kikki K Lavender A5 planner set up with you and I tried something new!!!!!

A pale pink planner with gold rings which go well with Tiki kit.

First I started creating my set up by the inside of the cover, I cut a project life card to which I added a fringe ribbon framing.

Then I slipped some ephemera of the kit and I created a cute mermaid label to which I added jewel heart and baker twine.

For my dashboard, I decided to create something different.

You know that I love making some shaker with sequins, for this sea summer theme I decided to create a transparent water shaker dashboard!!!!!!!!!!

It's like a standard shaker but I added a little bit of water inside with the sequins.

I made a glitter and fringe ribbon framing to remind the cover and I added some ephemera.

I cut an insert to recover the mermaid and the pattern that remind of scales.

My final touch for this set up was creating paper clips with ephemera and flair button.

I hope you love this post, see you later for another Tiki post .

Happy Summer TN Spread with Kellie

Kellie from down under back here again to show you how I used the AWESOME Tiki, I love you kit in my journal this time. 

When I bought this journal at the start of the year I had absolutely no plans for it and since then it's how it's stayed.  I put in what ever I want and when ever I want and I love it!  It's a "just because" project and often they are the best sort of projects.

For this journal entry it was about my love of reading, but only mainly in summer?  Odd as I'm sure a lot of people love curling up with a book in winter.  For some reason I'm more relaxed in Summer and often smash out 3-6 books within a month.  Maybe it's the holiday vibes?  I used a lot of the ephemera shapes within the kit for this entry. Laying the leaves that came in the pack with the word summer.

Here is a little tip, all the packed items within the kit, stickers, ephemera, etc come with an insert and on that insert is the palm tree print that I personally absolutely LOVE and so I put all my ephemera shapes into my clear storage containers I use and used the insert for the background in this journal layout.

This is how the layout turned out once I had finished adding in my journalling.  Not a huge fan of my handwriting, but learning to embrace it.

Do you have a "just because" project that you turn to?  If not then I recommend you try it.

Tropical Adventure with Aimee

Hi all! Aimee here, sharing a layout with the brand new kit “Tiki, I Love You”

Oh, my gosh you guys, this kit is so awesome. I almost didn’t want to use it because all the pieces are SO cute. I don’t know if I will ever be able to use some of the 12x12 paper because they are just SO cute.

But pulled myself together and I finally decided to scrap a photo from our trip to Key West earlier this year. I think it was the perfect photo for this kit. I can’t wait to scrap the rest!

I went to one of my all-time favorite sketches for this one. I also scaled it down to an 8.5x11 size {since that’s the size I have most comfortable scrapping lately}.

I also love this sketch because you can showcase a bunch of your favorite 3x4 pocket cards in one project. 

I started by cutting up all the pieces from the “on the go” 12x12. I choose 3 of the 3x4 cards. 

For the 4th card, I used one of the personal dashboards and cut it to size. 

The photo I used was landscape, which doesn’t really work with this sketch, so I printed it as a 5x7 photo and cut it down to 2.75x3.75 so it would be just smaller than my cards. I used foam adhesive to “pop” it off the page. Before adhering it to the page I stapled the “beach” flag to the photo.

I layered the palm tree over the photo with more foam adhesive and slipped some thread under the photo for a more dimensional look. 

I was playing with the words and came across “tropical” I just knew I had to use it. 

This was perfect because this trip to key west was totally a tropical adventure. I used more foam adhesive to “pop it off the page and layer it over the cards.

I date stamped my page and stitched on the cards and called it complete!

Do you have a “go to” sketch that you go to?

XOXO, Aimee

Tiki, I Love You Summer Mini Album with Michelle

Hi, crafty friends! Michelle here, back with a project using the “Tiki, I Love You!” box from the Fairytale Club! This time, I decided to make my first mini album! This collection of patterns and colors was just perfect to decorate an album filled with some of my favorite summer memories, so that’s what I did! 

My summer really got kicked off when I took a trip to Phoenix, Arizona. I spent some great time with my aunt, and we attended Plancation together! Plancation was an amazing planner conference where I attended some really helpful sessions of all kinds, made some great planner friends, and left with an awesome haul of new goodies! 

And of course, since the conference was a mere 15 minutes away from a Shake Shack, I had to go! We don’t have one where I live, and I don’t eat burgers that often. But when the world’s greatest burger is within driving distance, you go! And boy oh boy, I was not disappointed. I even tried their peanut butter burger! Sounds weird, but I highly recommend it. 

And of course, no summer album is complete without documentation of the cuteness that is my niece! I know I’m biased, but I really think she is the cutest baby ever! It is so fun to see her grow and learn new things every day. I remember not so long ago when she was my little cuddle buddy, but not anymore! These days, she wants to be up moving around and exploring the world around her. I love her and I am so excited to continue to watch her grow and be there along the way. 

I spend a lot of time inside working, but there was a day recently when I just had to get out! I reached out to my best friend, and we made a total day of it! We checked out a new brunch spot in town. Then we spent the afternoon driving around to other restaurants trying some “must haves” from a list we came across. And I finished off the evening at a baseball game! It was a perfect summer day.

Recently my husband and I decided that we might be ready to buy our first house! After scouring websites of house listings, and coming up with a budget, we thought it might be fun to spend a day driving around and seeing what was out there! It was really fun and helpful! We were able to really see parts of town that we are interested in and get a better idea of what kinds of houses we like. 

This summer album was so fun to make, and it was really quick too! That is something that is so great about the subscription from The Fairytale Club. It is such a great selection of supplies and has everything you need! And since everything has already been put together for you, you don’t have to dig through all your supplies to find what you’re looking for. It’s all there, in one spot! 

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little summer adventure album! Happy Crafting!

-Michelle

Tiki, I Love You TN Spread with Kellie

Lately I have a real thing for tags and labels and anything that I can put together almost like a jigsaw puzzle.  So when I saw the Tiki, I Love You kit, I was in love from the moment I laid eyes on it.  I mean what's NOT to love right, even the name of the collection is cute?  Here is a look at the layout in my pocket page notebook I put together.

I got our my summer hits, headphones in and creating I got.  I'm really liking the effect of a full photo in travelers notebooks.  I've ordered prints, but they haven't yet arrived all the way down under, so what's a girl to do?  Print it in 4x6 and 3x4 and match it up as best I can, just don't look to hard, haha.

I think one of my favourite parts of this layout was mixing and matching the tags with embellishments.  It's almost relaxing.... well when it comes together nicely, but when it;s just not working those moments aren't too relaxing.  But they are the, walk away and come back moments we all have in crafting.

Have you ever tried printing on vellum?  YOU absolutely must it's a game changer and I decided I just had to have those palm trees in this spread somehow.  They are SUPER cute.

The colours scream SUMMER in this Tiki, I Love You kit and that makes documenting my beach photo of my thongs easier.  I can't WAIT to come back on the blog again and share another creation using this gorgeous kit

Hello Summer Sun with Laura

Hi everyone! It's Laura back to share a colorful, summer layout with you all.  I received my "Tiki, I Love You" kit in the mail yesterday and I couldn't way to get it out to play.  The colors are perfect for documenting all the special summer activities.  I didn't have any photos of anything quintessentially summery, like swimming or going to the beach that I hadn't already scrapped, however, I did have a nice picture of my dog in his new summer bandanna and a brand new wide format printer just waiting to be tested.  I decided to print out my photo in 5x7" and let the products give the layout the perfect summer feel.

 I started with the blue and green "In Summer" paper which was the base for my whole color palette.  After backing my photo with one of the A5 dividers (I often use the dividers as pre-cut patterned paper!), and adding my title, I pulled out all the green and blue die cuts from the die cut pack.  I loved the butterflies, but the pink didn't go with my colors of the layout, so I simply altered them by painting a light wash of watercolor paint over the top of the pink.  I altered a few more of the die cuts with the same color of watercolor paint to make the layout feel cohesive.  To finish off I hand stitched a border with white embroidery floss around the edge of the layout and added a few enamel dots.  It all came together quickly thanks to the beautiful kit and left plenty of time to enjoy the summer evening weather by taking a nice walk with my pup.  Happy crafting! 

Dianna's Planner Pockets with Tiki, I Love You!

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing my planner pockets set up using the gorgeous new kit called Tiki, I love you. It’s a pastel lovers dream come true! 

Just look at the beautiful summery pastels and super cute die cuts! My favorite are the mermaids. Mermaids are just so magical, don’t you think? 

I was able to stuff my planner pockets with so many of the die cuts! They fit perfectly.  I even used the packaging of the die cuts. It’s this cute palm tree design and I just cut it to fit in the middle pocket!! I love using product packaging. 

I’ll also be storing my Tiki, I love you sticker sheet in the side pocket. I’ll be using that to decorate my monthly or weekly spread, can’t wait! I love that you can just pop it in the pocket and then you have stickers for on the go planning too! 

Lastly, I used the mermaid (premade) planner divider as my dashboard. Andrea make A5 and Personal dividers for the kits! You could decorate them. But they are wonderfully perfect just the way they are! I added a little cluster of die cuts to mine. 

Hope you had fun seeing the new kit in action! See you soon! Find me on Instagram for more pics of the new kit! My handle is Scrapshoppe! Let’s connect 💗

Xoxo, Dianna 

The Wonderful World of Disney Memorydex with Carolee

Hello everyone! Today I'm here with some more fun Memorydex cards for you! This spring, I was lucky enough to take a trip around Asia to all of the Disney parks there and I thought this kit was PERFECT for getting a project started for that trip! Let's get started!

First up, I cut the cards using the Memorydex dies I have in my stash. I cut from the Welcome to Disneyland, My Happy Place and I Heart the Castle papers though you'll see I don't end up using these sides in the end!

Next, I printed pictures of each of the castles (which I had to find online. My pics were bad!) on my Sprocket printer and mounted them on scraps from kit. That black and white paper is my favorite! I need about 30 sheets!

Now it was time for some letters! I grabbed an old Kelly Purkey stamp set I had, some chalk edgers in matching colors and stamped out the abbreviations for the parks. This is where I start getting crazy with the foam tape. One of the great things about Memorydex is that you have a lot of room for layering, so I used that here.

Finally, it was time to embellish a bit! I grabbed some of the die-cut ephemera from the kit pack and some more foam tape and added a bit more color and fun to each card!

So that's it! Memorydex is really fun and easy, assuming you can find the pieces to do it! Luckily, there's a bit of a campaign online to resurrect Memorydex and I really hope it succeeds so that others can have fun with this format! Thanks for checking out my cards and until next time everyone, happy crafting!!

"Tiki, I Love You!" Full Reveal!!!

Hello there, everyone!  It's Andrea here, today, and I am so excited to share with you today our newest collection, "Tiki, I Love You!"  I absolutely love this new fun and vibrant summer collection/kit that we have created for you. It is the perfect kit to use to plan, document, or craft for all your summertime adventures!  Read on to learn all about this awesome collection, or click here to purchase your kit right now!

View fullsize

"Tiki, I Love You" is so cool for so many reasons. The fabulous vintage-retro look of this kit is so cute! And the kit is filled with awesome summertime symbols like whimsical mermaids, pretty pink flamingos, swaying palm trees, tropical fruits and flowers, and scenic beach scenes! All of it reminds me of the perfect summer day and makes me want to go on a fun summer vacation! And I should probably mention that while I was creating this collection I was very much inspired by Tiki and Tropical imagery which can be found at different Disney locations, such as Disney's Adventureland and The Enchanted Tiki Room and also the Submarine Voyage ride (when it used to have mermaids), plus Castaway Cay, Trader Sams, and the Polynesian resort in Disneyworld! They are all so retro Tiki fabulous and they all scream Tropical adventure!

The color palette for this collection is also evocative of summertime with its pretty sea blues and greens, the vibrant, sunshiny yellows, and all the really gorgeous, bold and bright pinks! 

View fullsize

And I am loving all the super cool embellishments that are in this collection! For example, there is a beautiful ephemera pack, some fabulous flair buttons, a great sticker sheet, and some very useful and versatile word die-cuts.

Alright, now that we have done a quick and basic overview of "Tiki, I love you", let's get into some more detail. First, let's look at the patterned paper in the collection. The patterned papers in the collection are so beautiful! They all have that fun Tiki look and feel which was so very popular in the 50's and 60's and which you can still find today in places like Beachside restaurants, Tiki bars, fun Lua parties, and of course, Adventureland and the Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland!

View fullsize

One of my favorite patterned papers in the collection is "Mermaids Have More Fun," with all the beautiful, pink-haired mermaids on it! See how the mermaid in the pattern sits on a large bubble and other little bubbles float around her? For this reason, I have decided to refer to our mermaid friend as "Bubbles"...isn't she so pretty and sweet and magical?! She is inspired by the mermaids who used to inhabit the sweet Mermaid Lagoon in the middle of the Submarine Voyage ride at Disneyland. They only had the mermaids there for a couple of years in the 60's...but they were so happy and fun, and I do so wish they would bring them back again! As for the back of the paper...that is so great and versatile too with the lovely and modern blue chevron. It reminds me of the ocean, but can really be used for anything!

This patterned paper, entitled "The Pink of Perfection," has lots of pretty pink on both sides! On one side you find a cool and versatile pink geometric which is simple but beautiful, and on the other you find lots of glamorous pink flamingos! Each girly flamingo in the pattern has a cute little crown on her head...because she is "the pink of perfection" and should therefore be treated accordingly, as the princess she is! Lol!
 

The geometric pattern on the front of the "Tiki, I Love You" patterned paper is so retro-chic and definitely fits in with the Tiki theme of the collection! But this page is really named "Tiki, I Love You" because of the cute Parrots on the back of the page...why, you ask? Well, because I named that cute little parrot that you can find throughout the collection, Tiki! And Tiki is of course inspired by the amazing parrots that you can find in the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland, a fave attraction of mine and a classic which has been in the park since the 60's!
 

I absolutely love the paper called "By The Beautiful Sea!" It has an amazing ocean view on the front that just makes me long to go to the beach immediately! And on the back of the paper is a really awesome pink Tiki pattern that has little Hawaiian symbols on it...like a pineapple and a volcano!

"In Summer" is a really fantastic patterned paper from the collection! On the front is a bright and sunshiny yellow pattern that feels rather festive. And on the back is a super dreamy blue and green geometric which has this really cool waterfall kind of effect which I love!

This lovely palm tree patterned paper is way cute! I find the pattern super relaxing. It is called "Castaway Key" and you probably already guessed why! The paper is named for that famous Disney destination in the Caribbean! I would love to go there one day! On the other side of the paper is a great green-toned geometric pattern which has a great vintage Tiki look to it...but is such a cute and simple geometric, that it can be used for really anything.

Another favorite paper of mine is the really beautiful multi-colored seashell pattern called "Aloha!" It is filled with gorgeous and intricate seashells that come in various shades of pinks and blues and greens. They look like the scales on a mermaid's tail, actually, and they are so very lovely! I imagine them shimmering in the sunlight, and that is why they create that multi-colored, prismatic effect. The paper is called Aloha because of the Aloha script that is written across the backside of the paper.

"Tropical Adventure" is one of two cut-apart sheets that are in the collection, and it may be my favorite of the two! On the front is a ton of great little pieces that you can cut out and use, like adorable little tags with things like a beautiful mermaid and the word "adventure" on them, 2x2 cards with tropical images on each one like a cocktail, a banana, and a palm tree, and super useful little labels which you can use to write on. On the back of the paper is a beautiful monotone blue pattern which has a kind of fish-scale look to it.

The other cut-apart sheet, which is called "On the Go," has some really awesome 3x4 and 4x6 cards on it! I especially love the mermaid ones -- like the one which says "I want to go where the mermaids are." I also enjoy the card with the suitcases that says "on the go" and the one that says "let's go on an adventure!" On the back of the paper is a pretty and way cool multi-pink geometric pattern which is very retro and Tiki looking...it's fabulous!

Alright, now that we have looked at all the beautiful patterned papers that are in the collection, let's take a look at the ephemera pack. I absolutely always super duper love the ephemera packs that are in our kits! We always make sure to fill them up as much as we possibly can with lots and lots of special goodies! In the case of this ephemera pack, we have filled the pack to the brim with the cutest little die-cuts which have amazing images on them like mermaids, sunglasses, ice-creams, and butterflies! One of my favorite things in the ephemera pack are the incredibly cute little polaroids that have either beautiful scenic beach photos in them or very adorable drawings of parrots or mermaids on them! I'm also super excited for the little vintage travel/luggage tags in the pack that have cute things written on them like "MER" for mermaid, etc!

Let's take a look at the "words" die-cut pack in the kit. I love doing packs like this because they are super useful! There is just so much that you can do with these words. I created them in black and white so that they would be uber versatile. And the words included in the pack say things like "beach," "summer," "vacation," and "mermaid," which all go with the Tiki and tropical theme of the collection...but there are also words like "happy,"  "create,"  "imagination,"  "love," and "everyday," which are so versatile and great to use for lots of different themes!

View fullsize

Okay, now I want to share with you the flair buttons that come in "Tiki, I Love You!" Our flair buttons are always so awesome and fun to use. In particular, I love using them to create cute decorative paperclips! On the flair buttons we have some words like "happy" and "sun," but also simple images like sunglasses, starfish, and a seashell, and also a really gorgeous close-up of our collection's pink haired mermaid, "Bubbles!"

And now, let's check out the sticker sheet that is in the kit.  This is a really great sticker sheet! I love the sticker that says "mermaids have more fun" with the little mermaid silhouette on it and the little label one that says "hello sunshine." The little half and half hearts are so cool and the little ice creams are adorable! The square stickers are faves too, especially the blonde mermaid that says "hi" and the little, yellow one that says "Tiki, I love you."

View fullsize

Okay, now that we have gone over all of the embellishments in the collection, let's go over the planner pages that are in "Tiki, I Love You!" All of them are super cute and perfect for your planner, your mini-album, or even to use to hang on your wall!

View fullsize

One of the really great planner pages in the collection is this cool key with vintage hotel key-chain! I love this image (which you can find throughout the collection, like in the ephemera pack and on the cut-apart sheet)! I enjoy vintage hotel key-chains like this which are totally old school! This one is so special as it unlocks room "109" at the "hotel fairytale!"
 

The "Beach Going...this way" planner page has an incredible image of the beach behind it! The water is so bright blue and the sand looks so soft... I just want to go to that beach right now and take a dip in that water!
 

"Mermaids have more fun" is one of my favorite planner pages! I love that quote, and it looks so pretty on pink with the little seashell and the starfish in the corners.

The palm tree planner page that says "hello lovely day" on it is way cute with the sweet mint palm leaves and the pretty pink trunk! The polka dots in the background make it even cuter!

My "have crown, will travel" flamingo planner page is one of my faves! She is so royal and special, my pink flamingo!

The next planner page is possibly my absolute favorite!!! It has my super adorable and beautiful pink-haired mermaid "Bubbles" on it! She is floating, sitting on a big bubble, with little bubbles floating around her...a crown on her head, and pearls on her shoulders and wrists. She is so glam! And she reminds me of the sweet and sassy mermaid girls from the early 60's who sat and lounged and swam in their own special Mermaid Lagoon as part of the Submarine Voyage ride at Disneyland.

Another one of my favorite planner pages is the "Tiki, I love you" one with the parrot on it named "Tiki!" She is a super cute parrot in pink and aqua, and she is clearly having fun hanging out on her little swing. This planner page is very much inspired by "The Enchanted Tiki Room," and every time I look at it I just want to go back there again and see the birds on their perches lower down from the ceiling and start singing!

This planner page, which says "let's go on an adventure," has a cool beach scene pictured on it. I love this image, which has some folding chairs and umbrellas on it as well as beach-goers in the background...the sky is so blue and happy and you just want to go on that adventure on the beach!

"Adventure can happen at any time and in any place, it is your own heart and imagination which creates wonder and possibility" -- this is another fave planner page of mine. I love the blue on blue look of this, but the quote is definitely the best part!
 

The quote planner page which says "you are, by far, the greatest adventure of them all" is fantastic! And I made it because I wanted to remind myself and others that the greatest adventures in our lives are people, the people we love, and not places that we go to...no matter how pretty they may be.
 

The butterfly planner page that says "hello" is so beautiful! It is another favorite! I love the wings on the butterfly...the design on the wings and the blue and pink colors too!

And the last planner page is another big favorite of mine! It has a ledger in the background and has words like "sun" and "fun," "love," "summer," and "relax" on it...as well as great tropical images like a cute pineapple that says "happy on it" and a lovely watermelon that says "yum"!

And, finally, there is the vellum page that comes in the collection called, "Welcome to Tiki-land." I love this vellum sheet! It has tropical flowers all over it and is so beautiful!

Alright, so I hope that you have enjoyed this look at our newest kit/collection, "Tiki, I Love You!" I enjoyed sharing it with you! The kit is available for purchase now so get yours today! :-)

Xoxo -- Andrea
