Magical Layout | Little Birdie Crafts

#kerriegurney #littlebirdiecrafts

Hi Everyone, I am back today with a fun, quick tutorial for you using Little Birdie Crafts fabulous products. I absolutely love that everything Little Birdie creates is designed to mix and match together.

For my layout today I created a fun bright watercolour effect background using Color Splash Sprays to use as the base of my page. I used the Boho Dreams collection. I love love love the combo of hot pink and orange so was excited to finally use this collection and this photo of my baby sister and I at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary just a few years ago
(yes sadly that is me with the boy hair cut, my parents must not have like me very much back then!}

 While I have added layers and texture to this layout I have kept it quite flat so that I can fit more layouts into my album

Anyway onto my tutorial



start off by spritzing the cello bag that your paper pack comes in with Hot Pink Color Splash then spritz some water and to lighten the colour


place a sheet of cardstock down and smooth over to spread the colour, dry off with heat tool or let dry naturally


Grab a cello packaging bag from chipboard or flowers, spray onto the bag Lemon Zing Color Spray and then tap randomly onto base page


The Hot Pink and Lemon Zing Color Splash Sprays create orange where they overlap to give you the three colours, remember for this technique  you don't want perfection your want a random watercolour effect


next up spray lightly chipboard elements with Hot Pink Colour Splash, you don't want complete coverage


then add some Lemon Zing Color Spray to the chipboard and set aside to dry


While your Chipboard and Base page dry pull out your elements and journal cards pages and cut out the Journal card with Life is Magical and fussy cut some flower clusters.
TIP; you don't need to cut off elements you don't want to use like the unicorn head as you will tuck them under your layers


once everything is dry you can create your layers onto your base page. I have used foam tape on all my fussy cut pieces to add dimension without going too bulky. 
Adhere Chipboard frame to Magical journal card
I added Sisal Fibre under my layers to add texture along with Handmade Flowers


A closer look at my clusters




I finished off with some splatters using watered down white Gesso and a Splatter Brush

Happy Memories | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreations

Hi everyone Kerrie back with another layout using Couture Creations Sunburnt Country
This time a double layout with lots of fussy cut leaves and die cut kangaroos



I added some subtle texture using stencil and embossing paste


I coloured the chipboard title and elements using Black Card Deco Essentials Ink Pad
OI also dry brushed the corrugated card with white gesso


I added black splatters using watered down black gesso and a splatter brush, making sure to cover my photos before splattering


TIP: to get your die cut kangaroos facing different direction you just flip your patterned paper over and die cut. I inked the edges of the kangaroo die cuts using black ink on a sponge dauber.



Couture Creations Sunburnt Country Collection is available NOW from your local papercrafting store

We had such a fun time when Gerry was here for the Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo in Brissie. Gerry was the international guest artist at the show , if you don't yet follow Gerry online you must as she is so very talented.


lots of fussy cutting and a smidge of texture using the Moroccan patterned stencil

Australia Zoo Fun | Ultimate Crafts, Couture Creations

#kerriegurney

I have realised while looking for something in my files that I never shared the full layout I created for a class at Craft Giraffe back in October last year using
Ultimate Crafts Australiana Collection




I have used Couture Creations Mikashet Woodgrain Embossing Folder to not only emboss my cardstock pennant but also to stamp a subtle background

I do love the Australiana Collection which was designed by Denise Boddey for Ultimate Crafts 
All products are available from your local Aussie papercraft stores 


 Happy Creating
