{A Flair for Buttons}

This is Joy | Diane Payne

Hello crafty friends. Today I'm sharing a spread I made for my Favorite Travel Memories travelers notebook.

I did a 2-page spread with an enlarged photo on the left and lots of journaling on the right with gold flair and heart accents.

I filled the white space below the enlarged photo with a white felt sticker accented with word strips and a puffy heart sticker. I love the effect of the white on white effect with the sticker.

On the right side of the page I used the Gold 1 Flair love arrow and puffy stickers for my title and accents. To add interest to my journaling I added stamped words. I really like how since I had so much to say about this photo, which is currently one of my favorites.

If you like using gold accents make sure to check out all your options at {a flair for buttons}. There are several sets with gold flair to spruce up your pages. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a fabulous, crafty weekend!

Sweet Girl - a layout by Riikka

Hey cupcakes! It's Riikka here with another January creation! The first page I shared this month, or should I even say this year, was about my older daughter. This time I made a page of my younger one. I usually try to create pages equally about them both. Naturally that's not always possible, but I try to balance things out. 

I guess I've done a couple of pages like this already, but it's such an essential part of my girl that repetition is needed. I'm talking about her personality and how she always wants to help out others. Sometimes even in the expense of her own learning or time, like the teacher said. We have been trying to explain to her that she needs to take care of her own work first, before helping others but helping and wanting to be of assistance is so in her blood that it exceeds everything! 

Like in the first page I shared, I let my girl to participate to the process of the making the layout. She chose the heart flairs from a couple of choices and chose the color palette at the same time. I was thinking of following the cupcake flairs color scheme anyway and her decision about pink hearts then meant a pink, candy colored page. 

To emphasize the sweet feel of the page, I added some lace pattern to it. I used a stencil and applied a texture page though it. I used the same background idea in this page as I used in my previous one so the two pages would make a pair. I adhered a 6x6 patterned paper to background and decorated it with washi tape.

Thank you for your visit today! Wishing you a lovely January!

Hi there. It's Devra here today. I have a really simple project to share, but I have to tell you, the flair made all the difference in it!

Yes, I'm still working my way through my holiday photos. I love this Happy Hanukkah paper collection. The colors are wonderful, the patterns are fun, but it doesn't have a lot of embellishments. Let me tell you how thankful I am to have this completely incredible Hanukkah Flair set! My page is very linear. The flair not only gives it dimension, but they made the whole page pop!

Look how well the colors work together!

The star and gift flair are a fantastic match to the papers.

This flair set is great and can be used for more than just Hanukkah.

Thanks for stopping by today. See you next time!

 

Story | Diane Payne

Hello {a flair for buttons} fans and Happy New Year! I've been selecting a word to keep me focused on goals for several years and today I'm sharing my 2019 word...STORY! I haven't scrapped in months and I'm ready to start telling stories again and creating lots of memories in the year ahead for future stories too!

I used a photo of myself in my craft room since that is where I'll be pushing paper and embellishments around. For this layout I created a two page 6x8 spread. This is a new size to me and I had a lot of fun working in miniature. I think this size is going to work great for me in my current season of life.

I printed my word around the flair in my photo editing program and layered a colorful die cut behind the flair to help it pop.

On the second page of my layout I added lots of stitching and a plastic heart to bring some fun details to the 2-page spread and included the story of how I decided on my word for the year.

Do you make resolutions or pick a word to help you focus on goals? There are so many fabulous flair sets in the {a flair for buttons} shop that can help you tell your story along the way. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon with a new story!

december daily day 23 | orange gearle

Hi friends! Orange Gearle here and I'm back with another day of my December Daily (almost done!) and a process video. Here is a look at my Day 23 spread:

This two page spread looks like this when you flip the tag:

Here is a look at the flair I used on this layout:
It's a cardinal, and meant to represent those missing from our celebration. This flair is available in the Watercolor Winter Flair 3 set. Here is a look at my journaling:

I noticed a typo after I had already finished -- but I'm going to live with it.  Here are a couple more  close ups:

I'm so close to finishing this project! I made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

Panda Girl - a layout by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka here today to share my first creation for A Flair for Buttons this year! Did you have a great Holiday time and has the new year started good and artsy? I hope so! 

The topic of this layout or making such a layout has been on my list for a while. Almost as long as I've owned that panda buttons from the "Animal 3" set! As the journaling in the page reads, my older daughter really likes pandas. When we visited Berlin some time ago in summer, we had read that they have pandas. But unfortunately the source had been outdated as the pandas were gone. She was a bit disappointed by it, but luckily there were other cute animals like an armadillo to ease the pain. They now have pandas at a Finnish wild life park so maybe we need to take a trip there next summer!

I let my daughter to choose the accent color to the page. It wasn't  surprise as such that she chose yellow as it's her favorite. I kind of was hoping of another color as I would have chosen yellow myself and thought that I've done a couple of layouts with black, white and yellow, but what can you do. She also chose the yellow one from the "Two Tone Heart" set as I gave her the option to choose the orange, too. I like to incorporate my girls to the making of the page every now and then! 

I made the background by adding a 6x6 patterned paper there and added a little detail to the edges using washi tape. To give the page some mixed media touches I used acrylic paint, ink, a paint marker and a pencil. Besides patterned papers I used some basic notepaper in the paper layers as I love how the edge looks! 

Thank you for stopping by today! I'll be seeing you here again later this month!

2018 December Daily

Hi, it's Laura and I'm excited to share my first post with this amazing team! I love making a December Daily album to remember the little things that happen amongst the Christmas chaos. It's all those little moments that make up what's really important in our lives.

My friend made 80 ten page mini albums for a kid's camp this summer, so she had 800 pieces of kraft scrap left over. She decided to make a bunch of tags to have on hand and sent me a big pile. I thought the larger style tag would make a cute DD and not take a ton of time. I really love how it turned out and I'm going to have to make more of these tag albums in the future.

I used the Snow And Cocoa collection from Crate Paper. I just love these papers. They are cute and have a good mix of colors and patterns. For my cover, I used some of the chipboard elements and added the So Fun flair from Phrases 2

Thanks for tuning in. How do you like to remember the season?

 

Winter

Hi everyone! I hope that you had a good Christmas and had some special time with family and friends. 

I love to create winter cards, I think they are my favorite ones to do... with fall close behind. Anyways, today I have a quick and easy card to share with you using the Hot Cocoa Flair. 

 

Such fun images on this one. I can't wait to use that cute little snowman!

For my card, which is for the Inspired By Challenge today - I kept it simple and just used the winter sentiment button.

Nothing says winter like snowflakes and ice skates. I imagine skating on a frozen pond which we did do a few times when I was a kid. Such great memories.

The button just ties it all together.

Supplies used:

Flair: Hot Cocoa

Stamp: CTMH

Die: Simon Says

Embellishment: Studio Katia

Thanks for visiting today and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. 

What do you like to do in the winter?

december daily | orange gearle

Hi friends, Orange Gearle here with a layout and process video for you. This might seem strange, but stick with me! I am using sloth flair in my December Daily album!  Here is a look at Days 5 and 6 in my album.

Day 6 is all about my sloth wrapping paper!  I have loved sloths for years, but apparently they are really popular right now -- and they are everywhere!  So, I was super excited to fine sloth Christmas wrapping paper for this year!  So, I thought I might as well use that sloth flair, right? Especially since Day 5 is about being so tired I went to bed with my daughter at 8:30. That's also sloth-ish, right? So, I added another sloth flair for that page! here is a closer look at Day 5.

I added my typed journaling below my photo and did some stitching around the photo. On Day 6 I used a big photo and kept it pretty simple with flair , a number, and a couple of enamel dots.

For my journaling on Day 6 I made a little pocket (between pages 6-7) to add my journaling on a tag that I made using my manual die cutting machine.

Here are a couple of close ups of the awesome flair from the Sloth Love Flair Set.

This two-day spread came together quickly and I love the 'non-Christmas" flair on this page! I made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I will see you again soon! XO o.g.

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  When I was looking through my stash of Christmas flair buttons, I wasn't really finding what I was looking for so I decided to look through my other flair buttons as well.    Then I came upon this gem.  A plaid moose!!  It was so perfect I couldn't believe it.  It's actually from the Canada 2 flair set!  I also used papers and embellishments from Crate Paper and a cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Shiny thread is my new favorite thing.  I used gold on this LO and I love the effect it created.

Here are a few more close ups

So remember when you're shopping for flair, make sure to look at everything because sometimes you'll find that perfect one in an unexpected place!

Go Pokemon Girl - a layout by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka again here to share a layout with you. Even though Christmas is just around the corner, this page I'm sharing isn't a holiday themed one. It's connected to a gift, though, and is about my family so there's some correlation between the closing Holiday and the layout.

When my older daughter received her first phone, the first app she wanted for it was the Pokemon Go. Some of her friends, who already had had phones had it and she was excited to try it as well. That naturally meant that I needed to download it too, just to know what it was and how to use it. So during that summer and fall the two of us or the whole family would go Pokemon hunting. When out and about, we sometimes checked if there was any stops around and noticed some even close to our summer cottage. This photo is taken during that trip.

The Pokemon craze didn't last that long, but it was something I wanted to document anyway. I chose to go with a black, white and yellow color palette. The yellow is coming from Pikachu and is also the color Pokemon logo.

I used flairs from four different sets here. The text flairs are from the Smash Words 1 set, the wood patterned one from the Texture 2 set and the two heart ones from the Two Tone Heart and Just Hearts 2 sets. "Want it" and "Need it" seemed appropriate with the exclamation marks for the urge to catch new Pokemons. The hearts are there for the love of my daughter and family but also for her love of the game back then. The wood pattern somewhat fit the color scheme and reflects the material of the structure we're climbing - an observation post.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a pleasant Holiday time and a creative, happy New Year, too!

Sending you Warm Wishes with Hello Coffee

Hi everyone, Laurel here. I am sharing a card I created using the Hello Coffee Flair. It is perfect for those coffee lovers out there. Wouldn't these make cute magnets for a stocking stuffer? I think that is next on my to do list!

I used mine on a Warm Winter Wishes card and what better way to show off one of the flair than a cute snowman holding it. Much like he is holding a cup of - well hot chocolate of course ;)

I mounted the snowman on foam squares for some dimension and this more in line with the flair as well. 

Who on your list would love to get a card like this? Perfect for inserting a Starbucks gift card don't you think?

Merry Christmas cards by Riikka

Hi there! It's Riikka here today sharing some Holiday cards with you. All of the three cards here are done the same way, I only used different patterned paper in the background and layered a bit different papers and embellishments to my cards. What they all have in common, though, is the flairs I used. They are from the Vintage Christmas Girls set.

I played a little with the colors in my cards. I chose red for one as the background as you can see above, but the other two have a bit more non-traditional colors in them. One is made with dark blue and the other with bright candy colors. I added some paper flowers together with the flair and a die cut Christmas tree as decorations to each of them. What the cards also have in common is the greeting I added to each. It's a silver colored sticker saying "Hyvää Joulua" which is Finnish and means "Merry/Good Christmas".

I also added same mixed media touches to each card. There's some dusty pink acrylic paint and white gesso as a bottom layer in each one and then some white embossing powder on top. I also drizzled some white embossing powder on top of the paper layers to get a snowy effect.

Where the cards differ is the use of colors. The red card has a mix of muted and bright tones, the blue one is more muted and the one with candy plaid is the brightest. I used same papers through them all but just picked the ones to each card that fit the color scheme of the background.

What color is your Christmas? 

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy creating!

Rock the Year

Hey there! It's Devra here today.  I used one of the Traveler's Notebook cut files from The Cut Shoppe Story Teller group on a 12x12 scrapbook page. It was super easy!

 I loved the Alphabet one from the minute I saw it. I thought it would be great for a back to school page, which is what I did today. All I did was enlarge it.  Then I centered it on my page, using it as a back drop for my photos.

I stuck with the school theme using some Simple Stories School Rocks collection. I was so excited to use the new Back to School2 flair! The books one fit perfectly on top of that green notebook don't you think? How about that ABC-123? Yep. Goes perfectly with this cut file and paper!  Sometimes its fun to go super themed. Today I'm glad I did!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Catch you again next time!

 

..:: do what makes your soul happy ::.. with orange gearle

Hi! Orange Gearle here with a fun layout using all of my favorite things -- paper, paint, and AFFB flair!  Here is my layout:

I started with white card stock and this photo of my daughter and grandson being silly with fun glasses.  I knew that the sunglasses flair included in the Summer Vives Flair set would be PERFECT for this photo! So I grabbed that one and the "smile" flair from the same set and found papers to match!

I ended up using Paige Taylor Evan's Whimsical collection because 1) I love it 2) It matched! :-) I found this "hello life" flair button from the flair set of the same name, and added it to the layout as well. 

Here are a couple more close ups:

I made a video of my process if you would like to check it out!

Quick and Easy Christmas Tags

Hi everyone, Laurel here with some quick and easy tags for you. Do you make your own tags?

I think they add a special touch to wrapped gifts. Adding one of the flair is such an easy way to add interest. 

I have used the Christmas Wishes 2 Flair today.

 

See how cute the buttons look on tags. I just simply cut some white cardstock into rectangles and then punched the ends with a tag punch. I then added some pattern paper and then layered on some premade tags. As a final touch of course, adhered some flair. 

 

I must say, I love that little Santa he is just perfect for adorning a tag don't you think?

 

Well, that's all for me. Told you they were quick and easy!

Unicorn magic - a layout with a video by Riikka

Hi there - unicorns and sunshine! It's Riikka here today to share a layout with you. I also have an extra treat - I made a video while making the page!

My darling older one just loves horses and unicorns. So when I noticed the "Unicorns and Rainbows" flair set in the Etsy store, I just new what kind of page I needed to do. I also incorporated my  daughter in the process of making the layout. If you watch the video I recorded while working on the page really carefully, you can see her hand pointing to the embossing glitter she chose to be used in the page!

As yo can see from the video, I used different mediums in the making of the page. I just love to layer different things! I also love to layer the flair buttons and mix different sets. Besides the unicorn set, I also used three other ones in the layout. The "Love It" text is from the  "Smash Words" set. The pink girl from the "Retro Little Girl" set and the "genuine 100% girl" is from the "Sweet" set.  Although my darling has short hair, prefers jeans to any kind of dress or leggings and can climb any tree, she's definitely 100% girl. 

Thank you for your visit! I'll be seeing you again next month!

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  On this LO I used the Forever Fall collection from Simple Stories, a cut file from The Cut Shoppe, and one perfect piece of flair because sometimes that's all it needs!

There are so many fall themes sets in the store!  Go check it out, I know you'll find something you need!

Snow Much Fun

Hey there.  
Look how young my husband and I were!  On our wedding day, there was a blizzard.  It was beautiful but cold.  This photo was taken just a few days after we were married. 

I played along with last weeks Scraplift Sunday over at Paper Issues PIFF page. We lifted Angie Ponds.  I used Simple Stories Freezin Season and flair from A Flair for Buttons.  It was a great great layout to lift.

Hi everyone, Laurel here. I am in full Christmas/Holiday mode with my projects. How about you?

Christmas/Winter are my favorite projects to create and I love Santa so I had to have the Christmas Wishes 2 set.

 

I created a simple card. First I die cut the circle background and filled it with pattern paper.

I then stitched to add some interest. I always seem to add snowflakes to my holiday projects so of course I added a couple today.

I then die cut the sentiment, stapled it on and finished off with a button. 

Isn't that Santa cute? I need more of just this button I think!

Rakas - a layout by Riikka

Hi there! It's Riikka here today with a special layout. It's special in more than one way. First of all, it's the topic, my darling husband, but also where I made the layout and using which products. Because I made the layout during a workshop with Louise Nelson in Egersund, Norway. I was delighted to participate in that workshop! It was a huge treat for me and I think I can use what I learned in so many ways and draw inspiration out of that for months and months to come!

What also makes the layout special is the materials. The stamps I used in the layout are self made! I might have grown an addiction to stamp carving while taking the classes. It's so fun! So if you haven't ever taken a workshop, I highly recommend. There's so much more than learning new things - also meeting like minded people and the different perspective you get of trying something new, speaking to new people and hearing how others create. 

Besides the self carved stamps, I also used some stickers and naturally flairs in the layout. The two love themed are from "Just Hearts 2" and "Vintage Sweetheart". I guess they are easily explained with the topic of my page. The chain patterned flair might be a more special one. It's from "Texture 2" set and represents how my husband is my anchor chain, how we link to each other like loops in the chain and how we make up a chain of generations.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a pleasant start to the new week!

Santa Please Stop Here Mini Album

Hello friends! It's Lee-Anne here and today I have a Christmas mini album to share with you celebrating a Canadian Christmas. 

I love creating mini albums and this one came together rather quickly with the help of some cute flair buttons, kraft paper lunch bags and some patterned papers from Photoplay Paper's Oh Canada Christmas Collection created by the talented Becky Fleck.

I combined several sets of flair buttons and dug into my festive Christmas stash of flair buttons. 

On the front cover, I added a flair button on the top of the tree from the Christmas Wishes 1 set

Since this is a Canadian themed mini album, I added two adorable buffalo check moose flair buttons from the Canada 2 Flair Set

On the left hand side I added a green "Merry Merry" flair button from the Christmas Fun 2 Flair Set and on the bottom right, I added the red, white and green "Merry Christmas" Flair Set from the Christmas Faces Flair Set.

On some of the tags that I tucked into some of the pockets, I added the "Merry Christmas" flair button from the It's Christmas Time   Flair Set.

as well as the buffalo check maple leaf flair button from the Canada 2 Flair Set.

Finally, on the second last page of the album I added a cute red truck flair button from the It's Christmas Time Flair Set.

It was fun creating this little mini album and I hope you are inspired to create a mini album using several flair buttons from several themes. All these are available in the A Flair For Buttons shop.

Have a creative day!

Oh hello November. What? How did that happen so fast. Well, nothing like starting the month off with a new project! It's Devra today with this layout I also made for the November Challenge with The Cut Shoppe.

This months challenge is white on white, meaning use white cardstock for your cut file as well as the background for your project. I will say, I do not usually do this, so yay for trying new things! I filled in the spaces with some of the softer prints of Amy Tangerine Shine On. I added color with the embellishments. The two pieces of flair I used are from the Let Them Eat cake and Lovely Words 7 sets. They had the color, style and sentiment I was looking for. Over all this was actually quite simple to do. The result is soft yet striking. I'm happy with how it turned out.

..:: love fall ::.. with orange gearle

Hi, Orange Gearle here with a new layout and process video to share with you!  Here is my layout:

I started with white card stock and I added some Shimmerz paints to my background. I used a pretty yellow/orange called Vibez Sunset Strip because I thought it matched the pretty leaves on the trees in the photo! As an accent color I wanted pops of aqua, that's where the flair came in!

This "be present" flair is a piece that had Shelley make for me a few years ago. My word for the year was "present" and so I had her make up some "be present" flair to use on projects. I found this in my stash and I thought it fit the sentiment of the layout --- stop and notice the beauty of fall -- and it also added the perfect pop of color! 

This camera flair is from the Take a Picture 1 flair set. Once again I used to to add a pop of color and I placed it in white space, right on the photo. I like how it draws your eye to photo as if to say, "CHECK OUT THIS PHOTO!"

I also made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

Who We are Now

Hello there! It's Devra here today and  I have a layout to share today inspired by the OOTD blog article at Get It Scrapped!

 

I thought I'd share my inspiration outfit. It's one of my very favorites from my own wardrobe. It's easy, comfortable and I always feel good when I wear it. 

I chose to take most of my inspiration from the neutral and organic aspects of my OOTD. The colors, woodgrain patterned paper and stitching on it represent the texture of my shoes, the organic nature of leather and rope as well.  The marble flair  and lovely words 7 flair I added also have water color and natural feels to them. They also tie all the colors together!

 

Just a little short and sweet project today! Thanks for stopping by!

 

Sweet Fall, Sis! - a layout by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka here to share my second October project with you! When I made this page, the weather had just taken a turn towards autumn. It was still warm, but the rains started to set in and there was the scent of autumn in the air. I bet by now we are deep in the autumn already. How about you? Do you experience all the four seasons or just two of them?

What I used as inspiration to this page was the squirrel flair, this picture and my younger daughter. I showed her the picture, of two of them climbing to a rock near my parents's place, and asked what she'd like to say to her sister, would she have some autumn greeting for her. She thought about it a moment and then said she'd like just to say "ihanaa syksyä, sisko" - "sweet autumn, sister". So thus the title! 

I used a rich, autumn color palette in the page and brought other fall like elements to it besides the squirrel flair from the Woodland Creatures set. I added leaves and branches in different ways and managed even to add one flair from my favorite set, Texture 1. But I have to be honest - the picture in the layout isn't taken during autumn. It's actually taken on Christmas day two years ago when the weather was really warm and strange for the season!

Besides autumn like flair, I also used a heart one from Two Tone Heart, which matched the warm autumn color palette. As I usually love to add something black and something white in my layouts to give them contrast and brightness, the "Fab!" flair from Smash Words 1 fitted this purpose perfectly. And the saying fitted the page as well as I think the greeting is fab and also the fact that my kids climb and know how to go about in the wild. 

Thank you for your visit today! I'll be seeing you again next month! Maybe some winter projects then already? Or maybe it's still a bit early for that... Let's see what I come up with!

..:: Singing in the Rain ::.. with orange gearle

Hi Friends! Orange Gearle here with a layout all about making the best of a not so fun situation. My daughter decided to literally sing in the rain, instead of the alternative -- letting the days and days of rain we have had this fall get her down. Here is my layout:

Fun fact: These photos are actual stills that I grabbed from the video I took of her singing.

I mixed media - ed the background, added lots of paint and stitching -- and then added flair from the Linen Heart Flair Set. I love how the color blocking turned out. Here are a few close ups:

I paired the flair with pieces of like-colored ephemera from Vicki Boutin's latest collection. I love all the hearts!

This was a super fun layout to make. I made a process video if that suits your fancy!

Thankful for Fall

Hi everyone, Laurel here with another fall themed card. I think fall/winter are my favorite seasons to create projects for. What about you?

For my card I have used the Burlap 2 Flair.

 

Some great images on these buttons and I love the texture of the burlap.

I combined it with some fall papers, punched leaves and twine. 

I scattered a few sequins and cork embellishments to add some interest. 

Of course, I am thankful for fall... :) 

Thank you for visiting today.
