July projects by Karolina

Hi everyone! Karolina here with with a dose of inspiration for you! So sit down comfortable and let's start!

To my works I'm using photos of myself very rarely. I don't know why, I just prefere photos of my friends, family - people I love. So today it's a very unusual day! I would like to show you three different projects, two layout and one frame with me, myself & I ;)

In all projects I used a new beautiful collection Seaside Cottage. I wasn't surprised when I saw this collection for the very first time and I completely fell in love with it. Blue and turquoise are my favourite colors and I love everything in marine style. 

Beach Babe

Ok, so first I would like to show you a round frame. As you can see, I've cut out the outline of me from the picture and tried to create a beach around me. I have used two stripes of papers, some seashells, flowers and a texture sand paste. I also added some glitter in blue shades and I've prepared some glitter caboshons. It's very easy, you need just put some glue to the bottom of the caboshon and then sprinkle a glitter on it. When it will be dry you can stick it on your projects wherever you want.

Finally I added a title - this time it's a piece from the same collection. I have used outmeal embossing powder to cover it. The last step was to make a braid with a string and metal embellishments and put it around my frame.

Papers: Glory, Embark

Chipboard: Beach Babe

Embossing powder: Oatmeal

Glitter: Gulf Coast, Blue Ice, Pyrite, Burnt Cooper

Flowers: Seaside lilies

End of a perfect day

I'm pretty sure that this is the newest photo of me. My brother's fiancée took this picture of me in the last weekend, during a dinner. If I have to be honest, we were in the Warsaw and Warsaw is not a seaside city, but woodboards behind me looked very nice and it really was a perfect end of a perfect day ;)

 I built my composition using papers, flowers and a chipboard piece in the contrasty color. I have used a melon embossing powder.

Papers: Glory, Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Perfect Day

Embossing powder: Melon, Honey

Flowers: Seaside lilies

Summer Vocation

The Seaside Cottage is a perfect collection not only for your marine projects,  but also for every holiday memories. In my last layout I used photos from Aventine Hill which I made few weeks ago when I was in Rome.

Papers: Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Summer Vocation

Embossing powder: Ebony

Flowers: Seaside lilies

And that's all in this month! See you soon in August!

Two Seaside Cottages pages and Video tutorial by Marilyn

Hi Everyone! 

Marilyn here with you today sharing two projects and a video tutorial with the new Seaside Cottage collection. This new collection is so beautiful one of my favorite so far.

For my first page I used the Seaside Cottage- Glory and Embark papers.

My base paper is called Glory and I made the layers tearing the Embark paper.   

I framed my picture with the new Seashell frame chipboard that I embossed with the Oatmeal and Breeze Embossing powders.

I selected the new Summer Vacation chipboard for my title that was embossed with Oatmeal and Breeze embossing powder.

"ISLAND TIME"

For my second page I chose the Gala paper that I used it in both side to create this page.  One side of this paper has a wood pattern with butterflies and the other side has maps, love it. 

I embossed the new Island Time chipboard from the same collection with the Mystic Plum embossing powder.

Let's go to the beach!

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new paper collection - Seaside Cottage.   When we hear the word "seaside", several images come to mind; white sand, clear blue water, gentle waves, seashells, summer vacations, and the list could go on-and-on.  The beach is a place you can go to escape all the pressures of life.  

We bring that relaxed feeling to this new collection created by Michele Singh.  

Seaside Cottage is a 10-page collection of double sided paper that evokes the magic of the beach. 

 You will find beautiful images, lots of amazing texture, and soothing beach colors. 

 

We also have 2 sets of coordinating flowers:

And what would a new collection be without some fabulous new chipboard?

We have some seaside images, as well as some amazing titles for all your summer projects!

And to enhance all this beautiful chipboard, we have a few new colors of embossing powder:

Our design team has so many ideas swirling around in their creative minds.  

We can't wait to share some of their projects with you in the upcoming weeks.
