July Virtual Crop Class with Tracy Annunziato, using Katie Pertiet's Hidden Creek, by Arden Creative.

Good afternoon you scrappy bunch!  I'm here with your last class of the day, using the wonderful Arden Creative range designed by Katie Pertiet.  We're really treating you too with both Rub-on's, that are like butter, and laser cuts that are delicately beautiful.

It'll come as no surprise that my layouts all feature photos taken on holiday in Tenerife last month, but the layouts are very generic, so would suit a whole host of different photo subjects.

We start with a monochromatic layout, focusing on the beautiful blue shades in the kit. 

Moving onto some fun rolled strips, and a simple layout that let's your photo sing.

Lastly we make a wreath using all the fauna laser cuts, and some optional butterflies!

I hope you enjoy the class, and I'd love to see your finished layouts, so please do share them in the group.

You'll find the instructions in the drive here.

July Virtual Crop Class with Cara using Echo Park Born to Travel

 


My virtual crop kit class this month is a bright colourful travel theme collection from Echo Park which can easily be used for scrapping days out in the UK as well as travel abroad.

I have made 3 layouts, 2 using inky backgrounds and one just using a hint of ink, each co-ordinating with the colour palette of the papers used.  The sticker sheet included is very versatile and you can choose alternative stickers to those I have used to to compliment your photos.

I hope you have as much fun making these layouts as I did. There are stickers and papers left over for you to create more and I would love to see what you do so feel free to share your layouts in the Facebook group.

Full instructions can be located as usual in our drive folder.




July Virtual Crop with Ann and 49&M Wanderlust Explorer

 


Welcome to another virtual crop day with your ATDML design team. Once more we have three classes for you from myself, Cara and Tracy this month.

I'll start with three pages using 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer, a travel themed collection with TONNES of laser cuts! I have made 3 layouts, one of which wasn't travel themed and makes the most of the ample floral elements.

I hope you enjoy the class, and you will have lots left to carry on creating after these pages.

Instructions as always can be found in our Drive folder - look for the files starting 0725.

June Virtual Crop with Tricia Sutherland and Vicki Boutin

 



Good morning campers!!

This month I've been getting to play around with the Bold and bright 'Bold and Bright' collection from Vicki Boutin.  The kits also include some cracking chipboard and cardstock elements to add a bit of dimension to the page.



The papers are full of super vibrant shades which are perfect from everything from nights out, kids parties to fun summer days. I also loved all the ripped and inky elements on the papers too for that grungy element!

So if you have some photos begging for some citrusy tones to complement it or some moody night shots looking for some twilight blues, head over here and lets get started!

May Virtual Crop Class with Tracy & Especial by American Crafts

Hello crafty people. I hope you are having a great weekend, and that the weather is being kind, I'm here with your last class of the day.

I'm lucky enough to be crafting with friends this weekend in Kent, having spent last weekend in Bristol crafting with Mel and the Welsh girls.  Lucky, lucky, lucky me... 🎶

Today I've got some really quick and easy layouts using this really fun range that's giving me all the spanish vibes, and increasing the levels of excitement for my holiday to Tenerife in June!

First we do a super quick tear, cut and stick layout, which comes together really quickly, and celebrates the photo!

But it wouldn't be one of my classes without a bit of ink, so in our second layout we use the title element in the kit, as a stencil, before we use it on the page as the title! 


Lastly we finish off with another super quick layout that really celebrates the fabulous camera paper, and features round tags!

You'll find the instructions in the drive here

I really hope you enjoy this one, and look forward to seeing your versions! Share with us in our facebook group ATDML#Create
