Leanne | Father's Day Cards...

Hello Friends! It's never too early to be organised, right?! And with Father's Day just around the corner... well, okay... we have another month up our sleeves, but still... Organisation, right?! *grin* I thought I might get on board with the awesome Fancy Pants Designs | Good Fellows collection and create three super quick Father's Day cards.

The base of each of these cards has been created using one 12x12 piece of white cardstock. I trimmed the cardstock at 8" and then trimmed the 8"x12" piece in half at 6". Fold each card base in half.

Using the left over pieces from your Good Fellows kit and the mini paper pad, decorate and embellish the base cardstock.
Card 1.

Trim the Good Fellows | Big Fella to 3.75"x5.75" and adhere to the card base. Layer with a piece of paper from the mini paper pad trimmed to 3.5"x5.5". Using the "Father Figure" cut apart on the Good Fellows | So Strong patterned paper, center at the top of the inner layer on the card. Fill the lower part of the card with left over patterned paper (trimmed to 3" in width). Embellish the card with Ephemera Die-Cuts.

Card 2. 

The same layering principle applies to the second card. Trim paper from the mini paper pad to create layers. Using the leftover strips of patterned paper create a three wide banners. Add the "Happy Father's Day" banner from the Ephemera Die-Cuts and complete the card with a few puffy dot stickers.

Card 3.

The final card has been created using the 4"x12" cardstock base. Add strips of patterned paper next to each other and adhere directly to the card base. Embellish with a metal die-cut on the silver foil paper and layer with a banner from the ephemera die-cuts.

And there we have it! Three simple cards all created in under 10 minutes!

Leanne | Good Fellows Layout...

Hello Sassy Friends! It's Leanne here today, sharing another fun layout created from the Fancy Pants Designs collection | Good Fellows. I've been happily playing with the mini paper pad in particular this month and this layout is no exception. Check out what I've created with the left over bits and pieces of my kit. Today, I've focused on the title.
"Life As A Boy"

To create this title, I've used my Silhouette Portrait (or Cameo) to cut simple alphabet letters. The font I used was Arial Unicode MS. To make the letters wider I used the off set tool in the silhouette software.

Next I cut strips of patterned paper in various widths.

Using an off cut of cardstock, big enough to adhere to the back of the layout and cover the negative space of the silhouette cut file, I started adhering the strips of paper on an angle.

Finally, the excess paper strips are trimmed and the diagonal paper strip block is placed behind the cut file.

The remainder of the layout came together quite quickly, documenting boys and face paint antics! Thanks for visiting and don't forget all the product used here today, can be found in the shop..x

Agnus | Project Life Fancy Pants 'Life is Beautiful'

Hi again :) I have some new project life pages to share, which are centered around the 'Life is Beautiful' Collection from Fancy Pants.

 I chose to use 12 x 12" papers for this spread, however there is also a 6x6" paper pad available from the same collection.

As always, I began the week with a custom made title card that I created with several die-cut layers from the ephemera pack teamed with some fun puffy stickers and new puffy dots. I printed the date onto a cardstock strip and used a Kaisercraft Captured Moments stamp set for extra detail.

 

I used printed journal strips for all my journaling this week, and loved how the cute puffy dots and stickers allowed me to add little pops of colour between the journaling. 

I love the corrugated paper Fancy Pants have added to each of their new collections, and thought the lovely coral colour would make a great background for a filler card, however when I added my layers the coral seemed a bit too strong in colour so I used a dry brush with a little bit of white acrylic paint to slightly tone down the colour and was very pleased with the white wash effect this created. 

I couldn't wait to use the gorgeous Felicity vellum this week, and backed it onto plain white cardstock so that all of the lovely gold foil detail would stand out. I flicked on a few drops of Citron Color Shine and love the way it appears to float over the vellum.

Moving onto the second part of the week, and you can see that I have repeated some of the same patterns and colours across both pages. I often use this technique to create a nice flow from page to page. 

Cinema tickets and other memorabilia are always great for recording events where you don't have a photo, and the leaf and floral prints seemed to be perfect for the Jungle Book movie.

Once again I utilised the Captured Moments stamp set for another filler card, and simple repeated the stamped saying across the card before adding a few stickers and die cuts to dress it up.
