I’m back with the landscape LO’s I did with the kit this month. I actually have two 8.5×11’s and one 6×8.

The first one has a fun element of the title stamped and heat embossed on the photo itself:

possibilities - title

I love the shine of the gold embossing powder!

I also layered a bunch of cloud stickers and a hot air balloon to make an embellishment cluster at the top:

possibilities - layers

I used one of the random looking stamps and some brown ink to add subtle texture to those elements, then stamped the date in black.

It’s a perfect title and soft look for this pic of Molly:

The second LO is completely different than the other four I made – it’s amazing how you can really change up the look of a kit with some different ink or mist.

I used Clear Tar Gel through a stencil, then Dylusions Ink Spray to get the resist:

vw van - resist

And I angled everything for an interesting look. The picture is of my brother and I sleeping on what appears to be a couch in a tin can but is really the backseat of our VW Van, before my father made it into a rockin’ campervan. ๐Ÿ™‚

Finally, I made an unusual size, a 6×8. This could be mounted on an 8.5×11 sheet of paper but I’m going to cut an 8×8 page protector down and slide it in that as it is.

The main photo is on an envelope that flips open:

dina - flip open

to reveal 8 more pictures! I love the pics that were taken at the Meet and Greet The Paperie had for Dina Wakley and really wanted to showcase them all – this works for me!

A little hidden journaling in the envelope, accented with another great stamp from the included set:

dina - journaling

And some stamped circles, Dina style, with wonky, hand cut circles of patterned paper inside:

dina - circles

I hope you liked these and enjoyed the overabundance of photos – I’ll be back soon with the mini album I made!

Paperie Card Kit | September: Part 1 (portrait LO’s)

8.5x11, Card Kit, portrait layouts, The Paperie

Today I’m sharing the two portrait LO’s I did with the September card kit. True to form, I did 4 – 8.5×11 LO’s and a mini album, plus a bonus 6×8 LO that I’ll share later (it has 9 photos on it!).

This was the first LO I made with the kit:

traveling lion

I love this pic of Gabe – everywhere we go, he wants Lion to tag along by riding on his backpack. It’s definitely a shot in time of Gabe and what he likes!

The kit is full of vintage looking Farmhouse Paper Company papers and they have the best bits and pieces for embellishing – I couldn’t resist using the balloon and postcard to reinforce the travel theme. Plus, I love a little cluster of goodies!

traveling lion - cluster

The second LO showcases a new and exciting skill Molly learned this summer – blowing bubbles!

bubbles

She was so proud of herself and insisted I take a picture…

every. time! It really was a big deal. ๐Ÿ™‚

As per usual, I added hidden journaling:

bubbles - journaling

And I created a focal area by smearing molding paste through a stencil down the centre of the page, then layering the title over that:

bubbles - title

I love these papers and discovered the best way to add pictures was by editing the colour on my photos. The papers are such muted colours that the photos were clashing with the papers – adding a slight sepia tone made all the difference and now they look like they belong with the papers.

There may be one or two kits left at the Paperie and trust me, between the exclusive Farmhouse product and the awesome stamp set, this is one to pick up!
