P13 - Coffee Break - Probably the Best Coffee Ever

Today I have another layout using P13's Coffee Break collection.

For today's layout, I used eight images taken from WhatsApp messages which I printed onto photo paper.

I started by trimming 1/4" from all sides of a sheet of smooth white 12x12 cardstock and matted this onto a 12x12 sheet of brown cardstock. 

On the right side of the layout I layered various pieces of paper from the 6x6 paper pad and some of the brown cardstock, which I punched with a border punch to create a decorative edge. Later I was able to cover the joins in the 6" pieces of paper with my photo block giving the impression that the papers were a full 12" in length. Using the sewing machine I stitched a straight stitch along the edges.

My eight photos were matted as a block onto a couple of piece of brown paper from the paper pad. 

Images were fussy cut from a 12x12 sheet of paper #3 and added to the layout.

In my stash I found a wood veneer banner with the word 'Fav' cut into it and added this below the photo block.

Using the Silhouette Cameo I cut the title from some dark brown cardstock. The title was stuck in the bottom left corner of the layout nestling the smaller letters among the word Coffee.

Journalling strips were printed with brown ink onto white cardstock on the computer and placed above the title.

Finally I splattered some brown watercolour paint onto the layout and scattered some gold sequins and brown enamel dots here and there. 

P13 - Coffee Break

Today on the Scrap, Paper Scissors blog I'm sharing my first layout using the new Coffee Break collection from P13. This collection is unsurprisingly coffee themed! The papers are full of images of all sorts of coffee products - coffee cups, takeout cups, sweet treats to eat with coffee plus flowers and lots more.

I have been using predominantly the 6x6 paper pad plus a couple of sheets of 12x12 papers (#3 & #7) suitable for fussy cutting, some decorative tags and a few sheets of co-ordinating cardstock. 

I started by matting a slightly trimmed down sheet of white 12x12 cardstock onto a sheet of green cardstock. At the top and bottom I placed some torn pieces of patterned paper and then machine stitched round the edges with white thread.

In the centre of the layout I layered a piece of peach tissue paper, my photo and some frames cut from patterned paper and the green cardstock. Before gluing down the tissue paper I crumpled it a little to add some texture.

Next, I set about fussy cutting some leaves and flowers, a coffee cup and pastry from paper #7 and also from the bonus pages in the front and back of the paper pad.

The fussy cut images were layered across the bottom and right edge of the photo with some 3D foam underneath some, to raise them up. This created lots of dimension.

Among the fussy cut images I nestled one of the tags from the decorative tags pack and strung this with a little bit of green embroidery thread.

In my stash I found some wood veneer leaves and a plaque that said favorite and added these to the cluster of images too.

The title was created using some Pink Fresh Studio Puffy Alphabet Stickers.

Journalling strips were typed on the computer and printed in green onto white cardstock. the strips were glued beneath the photo.

Finally, I splattered the layout with some brown watercolour paint and added a few gold sequins and some brown enamel dots.
