Guest Designer Debbie Sherman

Hi friends! Debbie Sherman here today with you!  I'm honored to be one of the July guest designers! I was so excited to see the "Old Glory" Kit with all the Red White and Blue. What a perfect color palette for the month of July as we celebrate the USA!

My projects are with the 4th of July celebration in mind. I'll start off with the table centerpiece I made for the 4th. I used a pinwheel maker for all the pinwheels and the backgrounds are made with 2 sheets of patterned paper and a scoreboard. I attached the smaller pinwheels to painted close pins and adhere buttons to the center.  The medallions were made with a scoreboard and 2 sheets of patterned paper.

Next up is a layout that some of you have already seen but thought I'd add a couple of photos with the details. This is my interpretation of the July Sketch Challenge. The medallions were made with a scoreboard and some of the flowers from the Flower Add-On for the centers.

 I've been trying to build up a card stash for all occasions especially friendship cards. I'm always scrambling for these cards!      

I created this mini with a ton of photos in mind. If you're anything like me I take thousands of photos especially in the summer. The cover features flowers and embellishments from the Main Kit and the Flower Add-On.  

When you open the front cover each page has pockets with matted cards for photos or journaling.

My final project is a layout of one of my sweet grand daughters...she is obviously enjoying a 4th of July cupcake!  I added lots of stamping and background work to this one.

I hope you enjoyed my projects.
I would love to see what you create with this fabulous Old Glory Kit!

Thanks for stopping by the C'est Magnifique blog today!!

Guest Designer Terhi Koskinen - Part Two with July Kits

Hello all, it's Terhi Koskinen here as promised, sharing some scrapbooking inspirations with two layouts and one process video. Last time it was all about red, but as the C'est Magnifique July Kits were so versatile, I could change the color theme and now we're all about blue. Both of my layouts feature a lot of goodies from July Mixed Media Kit, Paper Add-on and Flower Add-on. In addition, I used some clear gesso, black ink, and sewing thread from my own stash.

Here is the process video, don't forget to subscribe my YouTube channel for future inspiration.

And here's my other, and last layout with the July Kits. I went a bit crazy with doodling and circles but the result looks good. First I used the stencil from July Mixed Media Kit to create the background. Then I cut out a lot of circles and some paper slices and randomly attached them to the background. I used some flowers as embellishments, and Prima Marketing alphas covered with Liquid Pearls as a title, but all the rest is made with a pencil and a marker. I suggest you to try, it's fun!

I hope you got inspiration from my layouts!

Thank you so much Deonna and C'est Magnifique Kit Club for having me guesting here, it's been a pleasure and I feel very grateful. Thank you!

Maria's July Kit Projects

Hello,

I Hope you're all doing well. Maria here today to share my July projects. The kits are, as always, absolutely wonderful and perfectly matched.

All my layouts are made by mixing the different kits together. I've used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-on and the Embellishment add-on.

This is my first layout.

On this layout I've used stickers from Echo Park, so great and I love the colors.

My third layout is a picture of my son when he just had a hair cut. I cut circles from the papers in the Main Kit and added stickers once again from Echo Park (love them).

On this layout there are papers from the Main Kit, flowers from the add-on and the cute doily can be found in the Embellishment Add-on.

That's all for this time. Thanks for looking and make sure to check out the store for the kits and also all the other great products.

See you soon!

Olga's July Kit Projects and Mixed Media Layout Tutorial

Hello everyone! Olga here today. I want to share the layouts I created with the July Kit. I also have a mixed media layout tutorial to share!

I choose a piece of paper for the page and applied texture gel over a stencil. Then I painted over the pattern with Distress Ink.

I choose the photos and stamped text onto the wooden sticks. Try on on a page!

Then I added a bit of Scotch paper tape to the background and a lot of spray mist.

I added stamping with archival black ink and green inks to the background.

Next I glued all my embellishments down. Using a black pen, I drew twigs and leaves and I used Glossy Accents to attach sequins.

I just love the combination of blue and red colors! I really enjoyed working with this kit and created another 2 pages and 2 postcards! I offer them for your attention!

I hope you have enjoyed my projects! The July Kits are available for purchase now from the C'est Magnifique Store.
