Flowrider | Inspiration

Hi there!

Laura here today sharing my latest DT page for Evalicious today.

As always I started my layout by cutting and pasting my patterned papers into place, finding inspiration from a recent PageMaps sketch, this step most often comes together really quickly for me.

Then I spend some time playing with embellishments.

And with the great products at Evalicious,  it really isn't hard to find a fun combination of wood veneers, badge buttons and puffy stickers etc.

As you can see, I love layers of patterned papers AND layers of embellishments.

You know that there is a story behind every photo, so remember to journal even if it's only a bit.  The story for this page is about a boy that wanted to ride this Flowrider so desperately, it was  pretty much the first thing he did when we took a Caribbean cruise back in 2013.  Children were only allowed to go up onto their knees (no standing allowed), he was the first child to try - and many adults were there trying to decide if they should try.  After only a few minutes he was able to move up onto his knees, no small feat mind you.  The crowd cheered and applauded, it was awesome for him!  Almost worth the price of the cruise right there! ha!

The Weekend(s) Looked LikeThis | Inspiration

Hi there!

Laura here today, sharing a page that documents what our weekends look like during the fall and winter.  For me watching our youngest play his sports is the best part of our chilly winter season.

I started this page by adding a splash of watercolour paint to the centre, giving my page elements a base to 'pop' off of.  I also added watercolour paint to the edges of my layout.

After centering my photos and the large tag for journaling, I got busy adding some fun elements.

I stamped and heat embossed this camera image as well as several hearts.  Both stamps are in the "Photo Shoot" clear stamp set, and are amazing!

Next, I layered several embellishments in a few areas on my page.  I love the way the traditional stickers, puffy stickers and badge buttons play off of each other.  And having all these elements available in the "Photo Shoot" collection makes my page very cohesive.

And let's not forget about the incredible wood veneer!

I doodled around most of the puffy sticklers on my page, I like the way it makes them pop and makes my page feel more fun.

Yes, I did use a ton of embellishments, I love that the collections are so full of goodies!  But I still have loads left for more pages!

Once I was finished embellishing my page, I added the stitching so that I could work my stitches around all the goodies on my page.

this Gal | Inspiration

Hey Everyone! Mandy here today bringing you some 8.5x11 layout inspiration.  

I used a mix of the various Evalicious collections that I will have linked and listed for you below. I started this layout with that photo from my birthday last year then I just started grabbing different bits and pieces not know where this layout was going.   

I thought it would be cool to have the badges and puffy stickers be part of journaling about me and my life at age 31. 

This photo shows how I added some layers and dimension with the Real Life Snipsnip 3x4 tags.  I cut the hello arrow with a craft knife and added a foam square underneath. 

To give the journaling a little added pop and funky look I traced around the thickers and added some of my own scribbles.

I hope this layout has inspired you to grab your Evalicious products to use on a layout about you! I would love to see what y'all are creating so please link up in the comments!

Mr. Harmonica Man | Inspiration

Hi, Evalicious Fans! Mandy Koeppen here with an 8.5x11 layout that I hope inspires you to create with your Evalicious product this weekend!

This layout is really simple and quick to create. When I say quick like 30 minutes or less quick and we all love quick ? Of course!

My son has a love for the photo booth app on my phone and I have a love for photo strips so when I saw these photos I knew the Evalicious products would be a fun to use to document my Mr. Harmonica Man photos. 

I love the journal cards and the images not them but I'm not a project lifer so I tend to use them on my layouts in different ways life this "Today's Story" tag from the Hello 2014 Large Tags Set . The card really didn't fit the way I wanted it to so I used my craft knife to cut around the arrow them tucked the photo strip into the cutout and added a foam square for dimension. I love the puffy No.1 sticker from the Hello 2014 Miscellany v2 Puffy Stickers but only wanted the circle to show so again I thought outside the box instead of cutting it I tucked it under the photo strips. 

I think we all love Evalicious badges but I especially love the sayings and images on the Hello 2014 Badges v1. Adding badges to this layout was a great way to break up all those straight lines. 

In this detail shot I wanted to show that page tabs don't have to be used just as tabs. I usually always cut them apart and use them in a different way like on this layout. The "Play" tab from the Hello 2014 Snipsnip Page Tabs I cut in half added some dimension with a foam square and then stapled it to the page. 

Evalicious Products Used on this Layout:

Hello 2014 Snipsnip Page Tabs 

Hello 2014 Badges v1

Hello 2014 Large Tags Set

Hello 2014 Snipsnip Labels

I hope you've been inspired not only by the quick and simple but also to think of different ways to use your Evalicious products next time you use them.

Thanks for joining me today! Have a fabulous Friday!

Cards by Wendy Morris | Inspiration

Hello all!

Wendy here to share up my first batch of design team project(s) for Evalicious!

I'm SOOOO excited to design for Evalicious as I've been a LONG time fan since she rocked those felt shapes.  Yep, wayyyyy back. Ha!

You can find out more about me here.

But again, thanks Eve and so honored to be among the 'magic 4' to rock your product!

As my first round of projects, I decided to make a set of 3 cards.  I love making mini type cards and these are in 3"x4" size (when folded).  They are also the perfect size to slip into a 'Project Life' style album page protector too.

Let's get started...

"We Click"

For this card, I was inspired by the Photo Op Stamp Set simply because I'm a huge Canon fan and that camera had me at 'Canon'. Ha!  I used the large camera stamp as the center of the card. Then I used my vintage typewriter to type 'we click'.  As a finishing touch, I added two camera stickers from Camera Love Puffy Stickers.  Super love those puffy stickers!

"Oh Happy Day"

For this card, I wanted a dreamy effect and what better way than with watercolors.  I worked my watercolors first and allowed to dry completely.  I added the 'oh happy day' puffy sticker from Just Us Miscellany Puffy Stickers V1.  Then, some matching pearls to finish off my card.

"You & Me"

I knew I wanted to use the ampersand stamp from Ampersat & Ampersand Stamp Set.  I stamped the ampersand in the upper left corner.  Then, I used my vintage typewriter to add the words, 'you' and 'me'.  To add an embellishment, I used a label cut from Just Us SnipSnip Labels.  Such fun & versatile labels great for cards, project life, and layouts!

I added some little handrawn hearts in black and then some heat embossed hearts using red embossing power, Versamark ink and the heart stamp from Typewriter Love Stamp Set.  As a finishing touch, two wood veneer hearts.

I hope I inspired you today with my 3 cards!

The full supply list will be posted up later today over on my blog.
