Snippets Challenge #2

Here are the details for the second of the new weekly challenges. The new challenge is called:

Snippets

Each new challenge post will feature a different set of snippets of layouts zooming in on their design detail elements. The challenge will be to include at least two of those elements in your own project.

How it works:

I'll post up details of each new challenge every week over five weeks, (this being challenge number 2). Each new challenge will be posted here every Sunday for you to follow along with, (I'll also add the same details to the Facebook group).

Complete all the Snippets weekly challenges to be eligible for an extra goody in your next kit box! The closing date to complete all the challenges is 29th March 2020. All projects must be new projects made specifically for this challenge. You can use any stash you choose but it's a great opportunity to dig into your kits!

The second of the Snippets challenges is here:

The snippets for this challenge are circle photos, circle paper pieces with embellishments layered on top, a layered butterfly and typewriter style journalling.

Pick out at least two snippet elements to use on your own project. You can use more than two elements on your project if you like so you could have a go at mixing design elements from all four of the snippets. The two is a minimum requirement.

Love

Hi everyone I'm back on the blog today with another layout. 

With this layout I focused on the beautiful stars from the Crate Paper Snowflake collection.

Supplies Used:

Main Kit:

CP Snowflake Puffy Phrase and Icon Thickers

CP Snowflake - Winterscape 12x12 paper

CP Snowflake 6x12 Accent stickers 

Extras Kit:

CP Snowflake 6x8 pad

This layout actually used very few supplies - mainly just using the 6x8 pad!

I started with this photo of my grandparents at a Christmas themed wedding (perfect for the Snowflake papers). I mounted the 4x6 photo on white cardstock and then used 3 papers from the 6x8 pad to create a few layers. The star paper has copper foiling, which adds even more shine to the page.

I used a puffy phrase for my title from the main kit. 

I fussy cut all the stars from the 6x8 pad, which gave me plenty of varying sizes for this layout and a few left over. Plus they're foiled! 

I also added a few puffy stars from the puffy phrases and accents set, and some flat stickers from the 6x12 pad.

I created 5 large clusters across the page with varying colours of stars, and a further cluster underneath the title in the centre.

Overall after fussy cutting the stars this layout was super quick to make and is very shiny and christmassy I think!
