Stinas February Kit Projects

Hi!

So it´s time again to let you see the projects I made of the february kit. I´m so in love with this kit, it´s absolutely wonderful! The papers are to die for and the embellishments and mixed media products are amazing!

 From my own stash I used: paint, cardboard

Here´s my first layout with photos of my son as a baby. For this layout I used products from the Main kit, the Flower add on and the Embellishment add on.

 From my own stash I used: gesso, cardstock, punch, paint

On my next layout I used a photo of myself. I made the brown flower of the scalloped trim and used white gesso on the background to blend. For this layout I used products from the Main kit, the Flower add on and the Embellishment add on.

  From my own stash I used: gesso and background stamps

Here´s me and my niece. I chose to put the photo in the center of the layout and then put the embellishments around it. For this layout I used products from the Main kit, the Flower add on, the mixed media kit and the Embellishment add on.

   From my own stash I used: inca gold, swirl die

Here´s my take on the february sketch. I chose to mirror it. For this layout I used products from the Main kit, the Flower add on, the mixed media kit and the Embellishment add on.

  From my own stash I used: cardstock and tags

At least I made a minialbum from three envelopes. This is the front page. For this layout I used products from the Main kit, the Flower add on, the Mixed media kit and the Embellishment add on.

Here you can see the whole album from two angles and below you can see some detail photos.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tammy's February Kit Projects

Hey! Tammy here sharing my projects with the February Kit today. I love this "Bird Song" kit! It has beautiful birds from the paper to the embellishments and the colors are amazing!

This first layout is "Fun at the St. Louis Zoo."

I used items from the Main Kit and all the Add On kits. I used gesso from my stash and the stencil and Metallic Rub-On Paint from the Mixed Media Kit to do the background. I also used the Metallic Rub-On Paint on the bird after I inked it. I am loving this stuff!!

This layout is my oldest daughter and I...

"Thankful"

I used items from the Main and Add On Kits! I love the Prima Stamps and Metal "Moth Wings" set in the Mixed Media Kit! Again, I used the Metallic Rub-On Paint after inking the chipboard embellishments. The doily and the glitter glue on the flowers are from my stash.

This one is my youngest daughter. She is about to have her first baby! 

"LOVE"

Again, I used items from the Main Kit and all the Add On Kits. I used the Metallic Rub-On Paint on the bird. Again, loving this stuff! I used flowers from the kit and also made a few with the paper from the kit. I used distress ink from my stash.

This layout is my friends and I playing around on a plane!

 "Smile"

I used items from the Main Kit and Add On Kits. This was fun, painting, fussy cutting, and using the Prima Black Sand Texture Paste from the Mixed Media Kit. The ribbon banner was made with the Washi Tape from the Embellishment Add On Kit. I used a doily and some distress ink from my stash.

The last project is an Altered Journal.

 The journal came from the Mixed Media Kit.

I used items from the Main Kit and each of the Add On Kits. I covered the front with paper from the kit and did a little stamping. I used another sheet of paper on the inside cover. This shows through the leaf cut-outs. I used distress ink and seam binding from my stash to tie on the top ring. the 'tb' at the top is my initials.

I hope I have inspired you to create something with this beautiful kit. They are available in the store while supplies last.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Maria's February Kit Projects

Hi! Maria here today to share my projects made from the gorgeous February kits. I've have used products from all of the kits on my layouts. All kits match perfectly together :)

My first layout is "Strawberry Eyes."  I've used papers  from the Main Kit, flowers and embellishments from the other February Kits.

The cute birds are  from the Mixed Media Kit. I think they are so beautiful! I love using them on my pages.

 

 The second layout is "My Little Fisherman."

I used the Art Extravagance Black Sand Texture Paste from Prima. It was so much fun to use and I love the texture it gave to my page. You can also see the acetate shapes in the background from Kaisercraft. The flowers and buttons are from the Embellishment Add-On and the Flower Add-On.

 

My third layout - "Sweetheart"

The flowers are from the add on kit and the papers from the main kit.

There are nice chipboard album borders in the Mixed Media Kit and this is how my book turned out. I used all the different paints and colors that are in the kit.

 

Last of all, the layout made from the February Sketch Challenge that you can find here. Make sure to check it out!

 

I hope you have been inspired by my pages. All the kits can be found here.
