Easter Sunday Layout by Inessa Persekian

Hi friends! Inessa Persekian here and today I’m so excited to share my first layout using Crafted Moments and I absolutely loved working with these soft colors, pretty patterns, and all the gorgeous details in this collection.

I started with the plaid Inner Glow Paper as my foundation. It has such a subtle and beautiful pattern that works perfectly as a base without overpowering the design. Next, I trimmed a piece of textured white cardstock to 11" square, distressed all the edges, and adhered it down to my background. This step adds just the right amount of texture and dimension and really helps frame everything on the page. I then added a large strip of the pink Stay Curious Paper, cut to 4.75x12", and distressed the long edges before adhering it across the layout - this creates a nice anchor for the rest of the design and brings in a pop of color and pattern. For one of my favorite details on this page, I used the Crafted Moments Paper and cut out a variety of the hexagons. I distressed all the edges and arranged them along the right side of the layout, using foam adhesive for the perfect dimension. For my photos, I used three 3x4" photos and matted them using the purple floral paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad, along with a bit of the Stay Curious Paper. I love how the layering helps the photos stand out while still tying into the overall design. To finish everything off, I embellished with a mix of Puffy Stickers, a heart Chipboard Sticker, and Floral Die Cuts, adding clusters around the photos and throughout the layout. I also included some Enamel Shapes for that extra bit of shine and texture - because you know I always love a little sparkle! I love how this layout came together. It feels soft, layered, and full of detail, while still keeping the focus on the photos. The Crafted Moments collection is just so fun to work with and I hope this inspires you to pull out your supplies and start creating!

Layered Flower Bouquet Layout by Paige Evans

Happy Monday! Here is a layout I created using Crafted Moments for Scrapbook & Cards Today featuring a Layered Flower Bouquet Cut File which you can download for free on the SCT blog post HERE!

I created 10 layered flowers from papers in the 12x12 Paper Pack and the 6x8 Paper Pad and glued them atop stems cut from the green leaves side of the patterned paper also called Crafted Moments. Then I placed a round Enamel Dot on the center of each flower and tucked a few Floral Die Cuts into the bouquet. I stitched cream thread around the stems and tied the ends in a bow to look even more like a real bouquet.

At the bottom I added two 3x4" photos of Jane in front of blooming spring trees and added a few more die cuts and stickers around. I wrote journaling with a purple pen on a label Ephemera Die Cut

Folk Art Layered Flowers Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with a new spring layout featuring Paige's Lovely Lane collection and her Folk Art Flower Group cut file. This cut file comes with three different flowers and a variety of leaves and stems, but I only used the flowers on this particular layout. I’ve already got more ideas for this versatile cut file in the future so I know I’ll be using it again!

To create layered flowers I cut each flower design four or five times in slightly different sizes and then placed them on top of each other to produce full, dimensional flowers. I made one very large plum colored flower with the Happy Together Paper, two pink flowers with the Life You Love Paper, three blue flowers using the Timeless Memories Paper and the Smiles and Laughter Paper, a mint green flower with the Full of Love Paper, and a light pink flower with the other side of the Smiles and Laughter Paper. I arranged the layers on top of one another and then bent the petals up to create even more dimension. I used foam tape to hold the layers together so I could play with the flowers and move them around on the page to my liking. I had some cute wooden buttons in my stash so I added those to the flower centers. I chose the grid patterned Through My Lens Paper for my background and lightly splattered it with watercolor paints in blue, purple, and pink. Next I arranged my flowers in an arc down the left side of the page and tucked my photo into the flowers near the bottom. I added some sentiments from the Cardstock Stickers to the bottom of the photo and used the Mini Puffy Alphabet Stickers to spell out the location where the photo was taken. Lastly, I tucked a Journaling Die Cut from the Legendary collection behind my photo and embellished with some Enamel Dots. I had so much fun making this page and I hope it inspires you to check out Paige’s Folk Art Flower Group cut file and her beautiful Lovely Lane collection.

This Moment Layout by Paige Evans

Hello scrappy friends! Today I'm sharing a new layout made with Crafted Moments!

Here is a replay of me unboxing Crafted Moments and then creating this layout:
 

I chose 6 different patterns from the 12x12 Paper Pack, cut 2x12" strips, distressed the long edges, and then stitched them onto a smooth white cardstock background. I glued a 3x4" photo in the middle and then added 3 butterflies from the Floral Die Cuts, journaling spots and labels from the Ephemera Die Cuts, a geotag Chipboard Sticker, a floral heart Rub-On Transfer, a few flower and leaves Puffy Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, and a sprinkling of heart Enamel Shapes.

I love all the texture and dimension from the distressed & layered paper strips, machine stitching, and embellishments!

Thanks for visiting! Let me know if you have any questions and be sure to pick up my new Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio!

Splendid Adventure Layout by Antonia Sherlock

Hello crafty friends! Antonia Sherlock here and today I’m sharing a quilt inspired layout I created using up leftover paper scraps from Paige's Lovely Lane collection!

I had quite a few small paper pieces left from the 6x8 Paper Pad so I decided to create a patchwork background. This is a technique I use from time to time because it’s a great way of using up leftover scrap papers as well as showcasing the beautiful colors and patterns in a collection. The 6x8 Paper Pad was perfect since the patterns are scaled down so it’s easier for the eyes to make sense of them, even on small pieces of papers. Before securing the paper blocks onto cardstock, I distressed the edges and used running stitches to quickly sew around the edges. Before sticking them down onto the white cardstock background, I adhered an extra piece of thick cardstock under each block – this gave a bit of definition and dimension to the layout. With such a colorful and busy background, I had to be careful when choosing my embellishment pieces. I added a single photo to the center at the top then a large heart from the Hearts & Stars Die Cuts on each side of the photo. I chose small embellishment pieces from the various decorative elements from this beautiful collection. I applied the Rub-Ons to white cardstock and fussy cut around them before adding them to the layout - I prefer using rub-ons this way when working with a patterned paper background. I added my title which is a quote from Steve Maraboli using the Puffy Alpha Stickers and Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. A scattering of heart Enamel Dots is the finishing touch. I hope you find my layout inspiring - thanks so much for stopping by!

I Love Scrapbooking Layout by Ali Skifton

Hello friends! Ali Skifton here sharing a layout dedicated to one of our favorite hobbies - scrapbooking - featuring Paige's new Crafted Moments collection! 

I used a free cut file from one of Paige's newsletters and backed it with two bright & bold patterned sheets from the 6x8 Paper Pad which really makes the design pop. I also added foam tape behind the title to lift it right off the page and create extra dimension. I decorated the layout with the gorgeous Floral Die Cuts and used the beautiful Enamel Shapes for the flower centers, sprinkling a few more around the page along with the pretty butterfly for added detail. I also used the stunning Metallic Enamel Dots in the centers of the letters in my title for a little extra shine. To highlight our special design team photo, I double-matted it and popped it up with foam adhesive on the bottom right corner. I absolutely love how the bold, colorful title pairs so beautifully with our photo of Paige’s amazing design team members. Happy crafting with this wonderful collection!

Love Layout by Valerie Bisson

Hi friends! Valerie Bisson here and I’m so happy to be back sharing a new scrapbook page with you featuring Paige’s Love Heart Stitching Cut File and her Lovely Lane collection.

I started by choosing the Brave Heart Paper to cut out the Love Heart Stitching Cut File. I also decided to cut out the center of the heart for added interest and a place to tuck my photos. I hand stitched the design in a chain link stitch for bold impact to stand out from the pretty patterned paper then simply placed it on white cardstock. Of course after sticking it down I had the idea to add texture paste to the white cardstock, so I carefully lifted up the stitched cut file and was able to add it. I also got out some white acrylic paint, watered it down, and splattered it with a small paint brush in three spots around the heart. Next I added a title to the lower right corner with the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. Lastly I incorporated a few embellishments including pieces from the Floral Die Cuts, Layered Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Enamel Dots, and a sentiment from the Cardstock Stickers. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Everyday Magic is Real Layout by Stephanie Draleau

Hey crafty friends! Stephanie Draleau back with a new layout using Paige's Legendary collection with Pinkfresh Studio. This layout shows how you can get several of the patterned papers on one page!

I measured each “ray” by laying the next paper on top of my previous ray and marking with a pencil then I distressed each paper before gluing it down. I then used a title Chipboard Sticker and fussy cut several of the arrows out of the patterned paper to embellish. You can watch my process video on YouTube for more details on how I made this!

Together Layout by Sophie Delorme

Hello scrapbook friends! It's Sophie Delorme back on Paige's blog today with a new layout to share. I used Paige's colorful Legendary collection and her Wedges cut file.

I used beautiful patterned papers from the Legendary collection to back the segments of the Wedges cut file. I did a back stitch with matching thread around each piece of patterned paper. I used an oval punch from my stash and punched a bunch of ovals from white cardstock, cut them in half, and placed them all around the cut file. I did a chain stitch with white thread all around the cut file - it adds softness and dimension to this precious beachy memory. I added a few handmade clouds, Cardstock Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, Puffy Stickers, and Chipboard Stickers around my photo to finish. I love the result! This simple cut file brings a unique way to use patterned papers without making the page look too busy. I hope I could inspire you with this layout today!
