Nicole admits that she has a serious soft spot for Cosmo Cricket Diecut Button Covers. Aside from the gorgeous patterns and colours that they are available in, what she loves the most, is how each set fits the SAME Bucknaked Chipboard buttons.
The diecut sheets are a perfect fit for the Bucknaked chipboard making them extremely versatile. Not only are chipboard buttons included but you also get frames and outlines of shapes as well in stars, hearts, circles, flowers and frames. Earlier Cosmo ranges fit these as well as ranges as new as the Hello Sunshine that Nic has used here.
Use Cosmo Cricket die cuts on their own, on the Bucknaked chipboard or a mixture of the two as Nicole has demonstrated by layering them in a border around her photo.
Diecuts come in all shapes and forms, but for this layout Mel has chosen to use some of the Scenic Route Providence and Ashville dies. The funky green arrow draws attention to the journaling (all about Bella being the biggest talker in Mel's family), while the Ashville journaling diecut has been added for the title.
Diecuts are pure fun and suitable for a huge variation of pages, but be warned they're highly addictive too!
This layout was extremely fun to create, the Cogsmo Die Cuts are an absolute joy to use, the are really fun and very colourful.
Carole in her typical vibrant style has dimension going on everywhere in this layout, using the die cuts and the pattern papers, and she has even added stitching and ribbon to bring it all together.
Suz's daughter came out with this statement when she picked a daisy from the front garden with dew drops on it and though Suz knew grabbing the camera and trying to capture the 'diamonds' would probably make them late for school, she knew it had to be done.
Suz's Quickutz Revolution helped to make this a beautiful layout with lots of detail, yet keep the overall look simple. Diecuts include the beautiful Flourish and Vine 12" borders, but there's also the alphabet title (Deisel) and the diamonds shapes, which she also embossed with a Quicktuz Goosebumpz Diamond embossing dies. A Hambly transparency and a smattering of Heidi Swapp diamonds and chandelier crystals completed the look and the beautiful innocence is captured forever!
This entire layout is made from Quickutz Revolution die-cuts, using BasicGrey Periphery and Heidi Grace Wildflower papers. Once again Suz used the beautiful 12" borders - Flourish and she cut the Vine from a Hambly transparency to layer over the top.
The butterfly, the frame and the embossed squares that mat the photo are all shapes cut with the beautiful Revolution - these shapes are so versatile you can use them over and over again, giving every layout a different look.
If there's one thing that SEI do really, really well, it's die cut shapes and elements! In this layout, Donna particularly wanted to demonstrate that no paper-cutting is required when you begin with a quality range of diecuts. To create this simple, but effective layout, Donna has layered SEI's Poppy Die Cut Accents over the bottom corner of her photo in the same way that one would with hand cut elements.
The Die Cut Dimensional flower adds greater interest and is topped off by a transparent diecut overlay by non other than Heidi Swapp. The result is a perfectly simply layout that took no time at all to put together!
It's easy to see how quick a layout can be when you look closely at this layout by Nic Howard. Nic is normally the kind of scrapper that spends many hours on each layout but was surprised at how quickly this came together using the Quickutz die-cuts. Nic started with a patterned paper by Heidi Swapp and added tag and bookplate diecuts to create a base for her journaling.
She added a title from Pink Paislee alphas, some photos and that was the layout complete! The die-cuts add detail easily. Notice the dotted border down the left side - yep, you guessed it - another Quickutz border die-cut!
You can't get a simpler project than this. 2 sheets of Teresa Collins die-cuts and a few sheets of black card and you have a ready to go mini album.
Caz cut up the entire sheet of Journal It - tags and Diamonds and used the fronts of most of the journaling cards and the back diamond pattern of 2. The front and back cover are made from the slightly larger Journal It - Tags.
This album celebrates all the little things in life that Caz loves. A sleep in, flowers from the front-yard stall down the road, McDonalds hotcakes in bed for breaky, a sleep in, handmade cards and Mothers Day stall pressies from school. Add to this her kitties, her family, a good book (or 10) and a mug of earl grey tea and she is pretty much set for life.
