Love Story using Gums and Roses

Posted on January 20, 2021 by Roxanne Smith

Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a set of layouts that I like to call Twin Pages. This is because they are very similar, usually mirrored or copied, but not identical. I find pages like this really simple and easy to create, they also go quite nicely on opposite pages in a scrapbook. I highly recommend giving “Twin Pages” a go if you are hoping to at getting a few pages beautiful layouts done quickly! I have used two of the Gumnut Garden papers from the Gums and Roses Collection because they already have a pretty frame printed on them which was easy to add too.

To create this project I have followed the steps below:

Trim 2x Gumnut Garden to 12 x 12 inches and ink edges with Mini Ink Pad – Vine
Frame two landscape photos (15.4 x 10.2 cm) with Kaisercard Tutu Weave Cardstock cut to 15.7 x 11 cm
Adhere Cheesecloth Gauze to the back of the framed photos before foam taping them inside the gold frames printed on Gumnut Garden

Use Decorative Die – Modern Stems to cut out 8 leaves from Kaisercard Peppermint Weave and Kaisercard Spearmint Weave
Glue four leaves to the top right and bottom of each photo

Fussy cut flowers from Gum Bouquet and Fussy Cuts Eucalypt Posey
Layer flowers on top of the leaves

Paint flowers with the Clear Sparkle Brush and embellish with Pearls – Rose

I hope I have inspired you with my twin pages using the Gums and Roses Collection today. I have loved using this beautiful collection! I also highly recommend to try out a set of twin pages when you are next in your craft room (or space) and I would love to see any that you create so please share them.
Stay Safe and Happy Crafting!

Today and Everyday using Gums and Roses

Posted on January 2, 2021 by Roxanne Smith

Hi Everyone,
Today I would like to share with you a quick and easy multi photo layout using the Gums and Roses Collection. I wanted to challenge myself to use more than two photos on a layout this month, so I have created this layout to achieve that goal. I have also made my own flowers for this first time that are featured on this layout. I love the 3D effect that these flowers have.

To create this layout I have followed the steps below:

Trim Bushland Beauty to 12 x 12 inch
Apply Texture Paste diagonally onto the Bushland Beauty, from top left to bottom right, through Diamond Flourish 6X6 Designer Stencil

Find the centre of the layout and make a cross
Adhere two landscape and portrait photos (all 11 x 10.2 cm) alternating to the centre

Fussy cut the “today and every day” element from Everyday Moments and foam tape to the centre of the layout
Fussy cut some of the small flower clusters from Fussy Cuts Eucalypt Posey and layer under the “today and every day” element

Fussy cut more flower clusters from Fussy Cuts Eucalypt Posey and layer in the top left and right corners of the layout
Use Decorative Die – Flourish to cut four flourishes from Kaisercard White Premium Cardstock and add them to the clusters

Use Decorative Die – Small Succulent to create 4x pink flowers and use Rhinestones – Soft Pink to make the centres (I have used some pink foam from my stash but these would also look beautiful made from cardstock)

Glue Pink Flowers to the flower cluster in each corner

Embellish with foam flowers, more elements from Everyday Moments and Rhinestones – Island Lagoon

I hope I have inspired you to create a beautiful multi photo layout with the Gums and Roses Collection today.

Apply Texture Paste through Roses Mini Designer Stencil all around the edges of the white cardstock
Cut Full Bloom to 20 x 20 cm and foam tape just above centre of the layout
Cut 10x half doilies from Kaisercard Tutu Weave Cardstock using Decorative Die – Doily Elements
Glue 5 half doilies on the left and 5 on the right hand side of Full Bloom

Take a strip of Rosebud Borders with dimensions of 16.5 x 8 cm and frame the top half of a 6 x 4 inch photo
Adhere the photo to near the top of Full Bloom
Fussy cut flowers from Gum Bouquet, Fussy Cuts Eucalypt Posey and Everyday Moments
Cluster and layer the flowers in a heart shape under the photo
To the flower heart, add in some white half dollies, flourishes (Decorative Die – Flourish) and words from Everyday Moments to give it more layers

Paint the flowers with Clear Sparkle Brush and embellish with Rhinestones – Crystal

I hope I have inspired you to create a beautiful pink and white layout with the gorgeous Gums and Roses Collection today.

Fancy Card and Box Set using Gums and Roses

Posted on November 20, 2020 by Roxanne Smith

Hi everyone,
I have a special project to share with you today! It is a set of 8 cards and a box to store them in too. I have used the stunning Gums and Roses Collection by Uniquely Creative. I just love all the beautiful flowers and gorgeous Australian wildlife to fussy cut in this collection. I thoroughly used just had to use it for this slightly larger project.

To create the cards in this project I have followed the steps below:

Take 8 preformed cards with the dimensions 10.2 x 15.2 cm. Ink MINI BACKGROUND STAMP – TEXT with a pink UNIQOLOUR MARKERS and apply to the top left and bottom right of each card.

Cut each patterned square from EVERYDAY MOMENTS and FLORAL TAGS AND TITLES. Cut each square into two pieces with the dimensions 9 x 14.2 cm and 6 x 14.2 cm.

To the smaller cut pieces, apply TEXTURE PASTE through the ROSES MINI DESIGNER STENCIL.

Ink the edges of each card and each cut piece with Pink Petal Ink.
Adhere one larger cut piece to each prepared card. Foam tape the smaller pieces onto the front of the cards, slightly left of centre.
Glue a piece of CHEESECLOTH GAUZE to the front of each card.

Fussy cut flowers and elements from GUM BOUQUET, FUSSY CUTS EUCALYPT POSEY, EVERYDAY MOMENTS, and FLORAL TAGS AND TITLES.
Adhere fussy cut elements and CREATIVE CUTS in clusters on the front of each card.
Embellish cards with RHINESTONES – SOFT PINK.

To create the box in this project I have followed the steps below:

Take an old card board box, I have used one with dimensions 14 x 19 x 6 cm.
Cut FULL BLOOM to two 13.5 x 18.5 cm, two 5.5 x 13.5 cm and two 5.5 x 18.5 cm pieces. Cut KAISERCARD TUTU WEAVE CARDSTOCK to the same dimensions as FULL BLOOM. Adhere cut pieces on the inside and outside of the box as desired.

Using the same techniques described above, stamp the top of the box and then apply texture paste. Adhere a strip of lace along the top of the box and a strip from EVERYDAY MOMENTS on the bottom.
Build a cluster in the centre of the top of the box and the inside of the lid, with fussy cut elements, CREATIVE CUTS and cheesecloth gauze.

Embellish with RHINESTONES – CRYSTAL.

I hope I have inspired you to create something beautiful using the gorgeous roses of the Gums and Roses collection today.
