Gorgeous Autumn mixed media layout - Falling Leaves Kit

Hello my fellow crafters, Lisa here to share the last page

I designed with the 'Falling Leaves' kit.

'Autumn'

 This Blue Fern Studios collection is one of my top favourites. When I chose this paper called 'Birdsong' I knew I wanted to make something light and delicate with a vintage

look. I glued down some old piano music in the background and then added some of the Prima vintage ephemera, flowers from the Floral Add On, some chipboard and a few pine cones.

Here are a few close ups:

I hope you like it! 

See you soon, Lisa xo

Amazing Autumn themed cards - September Falling Leaves kit

Hello, hello! 

Sandi here with you today ... 

What a lovely weekend we had here in Texas .. and now it's time to get back to business, right? 

Today I'm sharing a fun card and tag set that I created using the September Scraps of Elegance Kit "Falling Leaves."  I'm always needing a card of some sort around here and having a co-ordinating tag for a gift is a real plus!

For the card I've primarily used along with flowers and embellishments from Prima's Amber Moon collection. Papers include Amber and Apricot Birdsong and Friendship as well as a small strip of Amber Moon's Pumpkin Season. The co-ordinating chipboard pieces are Blue Fern Studios and are found in the Elements add-on. I've tucked in lots of small bits of Prima's ephemera also from the Elements add-on. Flowers are all from the Floral add-on. Those wonderful Blue Fern Studios seedlings are from your amazing Main Kit! 

Just a little close-up of the seedlings and other details. 

Don't overlook the sweet leaf brad found in the Main Kit. Those add such a nice touch and are part of your Main Kit. 

I might have to keep this tag for myself because it just makes me happy! 

I went crazy on layers with Prima's Amber Moon ... Autumn Sunset (both sides), Pumpkin Love and Into the Woods. Punching the edges is so fun when you're doing tags and gives them such a great finished touch. Next I added layers of notecards and ephemera along with the Amber Moon flowers from the floral add-on. 

Here's a little close-up view. I've included the ribbon from the Main Kit but I snipped it really narrow for my use here and just tucked it in. 

Just a little dab of gesso and some tulle (stash) to complete the look. 

Here is that wonderful Main Kit. Please visit the Store to see which Kits Melinda still has in stock. Also there are lots of basic scrapping supplies there as well. 

See you soon!

Gorgeous mixed media Fall Layout - September Falling Leaves Kit

Hello friends, Lisa here to share another layout with the 

Scraps of Elegance kit 'Falling Leaves'.

'Thankful'

This kit is chock full with the beautiful 'Amber Moon' collection by Prima. It has it all; the papers, the stickers, the flowers, and the decorative tapes. I always start with a coat of clear gesso so my mediums don't seep into the paper, and then I added some watercolors and stamping. From there I layered on the papers, leaves and flowers under my photo and title.

Here are a few close ups:

I used the following products from the main kit
floral add on and elements add on:

Prima Amber Moon - 'Pumpkin'

Prima Amber Moon - 'Pumpkin Love'

Prima Amber Moon - 'Postcards'

Silk Leaves

Prima Amber Moon - Word Stickers

Blue Fern Studios - Paprika Seedlings

Leaf Shaped Brads

Orange Opal Ribbon

Prima Amber Moon - Ephemera

Kaisercraft - Wheat Stencil

See you soon,

I'm back to using the gorgeous Blue Fern Studios collection 'Amber & Apricot' for this layout using a cool vintage photo that I found at an estate sale a few weeks back.

I covered the Blue Fern Studios chipboard 'Organic Vine Corner' with white gesso and then I used some 13 arts Pigment Powder in copper and then after that dried some 13 arts Gold Glitter for some sparkle.

Here are a few close ups:

Wonderful little boy layout - September Falling Leaves Kit

Hi again! It's Tracy here with my 6th project with the gorgeous Scraps of Elegance September Kit, "Falling Leaves".

"Evan's New Glasses"

I used a bit more flowers and leaves from my stash on this one, but the cream roses, two larger brown flowers, the printed chipboard border and all the patterned papers are from the kit and add-ons.

I used the Main Kit, Patterned Paper Add-on, Coordinating Paper Add-on, Elements Add-on, and Floral Add-on.

Main Kit

Patterned Paper Add-on

Coordinating Paper Add-on

Elements Add-on

Floral Add-on

I started with the beautiful "Friendship" paper from the Amber and Apricot collection by Blue Fern Studios (included in the Main Kit).  I misted the edges of the paper with water and then dabbed some diluted brown ink from a reinker bottle to the wet edges using a paintbrush.  I also used a splatter stamp with the brown ink to tie in the darker browns from the tinted photo.

The die-cuts were made with paper from the Main Kit, Patterned Paper Add-on and Coordinating Paper Add-on.  I layered each of the die-cuts over a dark brown copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.

The chipboard vines were from my stash.  I heat-embossed them with Vintage Photo Distress embossing powder and then used an embossing marker with Tea Dye Distress embossing powder to add some colour variation to the leaves.

Here are a couple more close-ups:

Thank you so much for taking a look!

Super Sweet Autumn layout - Falling Leaves kit

Hello everyone!

Nicole here today, and I am thrilled to be sharing another Autumn

layout created with the fabulous Scraps of Elegance "Falling Leaves" kit.

I so love how this layout turned out!  From the gorgeous background paper to the many layers of fussy cut flowers, die cut doilies, chipboard elements and the beautiful flowers and bling... all from the kit and its add-ons!

This combination of warm colours go so well together and look at those scalloped chipboard borders from the Blue Fern Studios set.  Perfect layering.

I didn't add much mixed media techniques to this page except for a few dabs of white paint on my flowers.  The background paper is so pretty just as it is.

I used this very sweet photo of my friend's daughter as the focal point. It just went along so well with the 'sweet as honey' theme!

I will be back soon with yet another "Falling Leaves" project!

Make sure to come back for more!!

Gorgeous Fall layout - September Falling Leaves Kit

Hello, everyone! 

Sandi here with you today sharing an Autumn inspired, masculine layout created with the Scraps of Elegance September Kit "Falling Leaves." 

This layout features sweet grandson Joseph at the petting zoo. It was in my "to scrap" pile and I thought it would be perfect for these bright orange tones. I love a good pop of orange although I tend to do more peach or coral. But this looks amazing on autumn-themed paper! And paired with golds and brown ... yummy, so perfect! 

I went simple in design this time and only did a small amount of gesso splattering ... otherwise clean and simple on this one. I've paired Blue Fern Studios Amber and Apricot "Flora" and "Chapters" to complete my layers along with some of the co-ordinating chipboard pieces. I've also added the Blue Fern Studios Pretty Pumpkins chipboard which is found in the Chipboard add-on. 

I doubled my floral add-on this month because I wanted to have plenty, plenty .. well, a surplus actually, lol. They look so beautiful used here with my sweet boy! And there is one of the Pretty Pumpkins peeking out there which was altered using the Brusho in Sandstone from the Color add-on. 

My photo layers (and the florals) were from Prima's Amber Moon collection which pairs so nicely with the Blue Fern Studios products. 

A few pieces of the co-ordinating chipboard goes a long way in creating a co-hesive page. You may recall that the amber stones by Prima were found in the Elements add-on Kit. And ... I love the silk leaves from the Main Kit ... so perfect for layering. 

In reality, I am not quite ready for Fall just because it so quickly fades to Winter around here. And I am not a fan of Winter at all. But I have to admit I love looking at Fall colors and Fall decor. 

This Busy as a Bee chipboard fits Joseph to a T. He's a busy boy! 

That's it from me today. Here's a photo of the Kit and a LINK to the online store, so you can check out what's available! 

Thanks for coming by!
