The Scrap Room | Violet Dreams Card Collection | 3Quarter Designs

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Today I’m sharing three cards for all occasions created with the beautiful Violet Dreams Card Collection by 3Quarter Designs for The Scrap Room.

This collection is filled with gorgeous shades of purples and soft greens, all with a lovely, slightly vintage feel. The colours work so beautifully together and make it easy to create cards that feel soft, pretty and just a little bit romantic.

One of my favourite things about the Violet Dreams Collection is all the lovely die cuts included.  There are plenty of beautiful pieces to layer and cluster, making it easy to add lots of interest and dimension without needing a huge number of extra supplies.

For my three cards, I mixed and matched the patterned papers and die cuts, building up layers and letting all those gorgeous purples and greens do the work.  Each card has its own look, but they coordinate beautifully thanks to the collection’s colour palette and vintage-inspired details.

I kept the sentiments versatile so these cards can be tucked away in my stash and used for all sorts of occasions.  Sometimes it’s nice to have a few pretty cards ready to go when you need one!

If you love purple, soft florals, vintage touches and lots of beautiful layering pieces, Violet Dreams is such a fun collection to create with.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these three cards give you a little inspiration for your next cardmaking session!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Pine Festivities Card Collection | The Scrap Room

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Do you ever have leftover patterned papers and die cuts sitting on your desk after finishing a project?  Don’t pack them away just yet!  They can be the perfect starting point for a whole new set of cards.

For this card collection, I used the leftover papers and die cuts from my previous Pine Festivities Card Collection – 3Quarters Designs – project to create three quick and easy cards.  Instead of using the papers in the same way, I simply chopped them randomly in  different directions, giving each card its own unique look.

Three Cards, One Collection

Using the same coordinating papers and die cuts makes it really easy to create a collection of cards that look like they belong together, while changing the way you cut and arrange the pieces keeps each card interesting.

For the first card, I randomly chopped the patterned paper in a simple vertical design, adding a few of the leftover die-cut elements to finish it off.

The second card has a completely different layout.  By randomly chopping the remaining paper into smaller pieces and rearranging them back in order, I was able to create a fresh background without needing any additional patterned paper.

For the third card, I changed the direction by randomly chopping the paper horzontically.  Again, a single die cut & sentiment was all that was needed to bring the design together.

I love how a few simple changes can make the same collection of supplies look completely different!

The trick is to cut your leftovers in different ways — strips, rectangles, squares, angled pieces or even smaller panels — and experiment with how they look together.  You might be surprised at how many different cards you can create from just a few scraps.

I hope these cards inspire you to take another look at your leftover papers and die cuts before putting them away.  Sometimes the scraps from one project are the perfect beginning for the next one!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

2 Easy Scrapbook Pages | The Scrap Room | Simple Stories

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

I found a couple of old blank pages that I thought would be perfect to include in the album I’ve been creating.  Sometimes the simplest scrapbook pages are the most enjoyable to create. This easy 6 x 8 scrap page came together using a mix of scraps from the Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony Collection by Simple Stories, along with a few die cuts, Journal Bits and Brads for added interest.

I love using up those smaller pieces of patterned paper that are too pretty to throw away! Layering the scraps together creates a lovely patchwork-style background without needing to spend lots of time measuring and cutting.

Mix, Match & Layer

For this page, I kept things very relaxed.  Scraps of patterned paper were layered together with die cuts, journal pieces and brads, giving the page lots of little details to discover.

Some of the embellishments have been tucked inside the pockets, while others have been added to the outside of the pockets.  This creates different layers and adds a little dimension without making the page feel too busy.

Add Your Photos Your Way

One of my favourite things about this style of page is that the photos can be arranged however you wish.  You can move them around, swap them out or add as many or as few as you like.

Don’t be afraid to leave some spaces for journaling or embellishments, either.  A pocket doesn’t always need to hold a photograph — a little journal card, patterned paper or decorative piece can be just as effective.

Keep It Simple

There really is no right or wrong way to create this type of page.  Cut, layer, tuck and embellish until you’re happy with the result.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing all these pages come together as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.  Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to do a video of the finished album & post it on my YouTube Channel.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection | The Scrap Room

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Today I’m sharing a card I created using the gorgeous Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection by 3Quarter Designs.

I actually made this card a few weeks ago but somehow forgot to share it with you!  Better late than never, though, because this is definitely a card worth sharing.

If you love purple, then I think you’re going to love this one.  The beautiful papers from the Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection do most of the work, with all those pretty shades of purple and soft, dreamy details.

I’ve added a light green panel to the card to pick up the soft greens featured in the patterned paper.  I also used some of the die cuts included in the pack, layering them onto the card to add extra interest and dimension.

And, of course, I couldn’t resist adding a little bling to finish everything off!  It’s amazing how a few sparkly touches can bring a card together.

I’m really happy with how this one turned out — pretty, purple and just a little bit sparkly!

6 x 8 Scrapbook Page | The Scrap Room

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Another page created with the lovely and gorgeous Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony Collection by Simple Stories.

This page will hold three photos, with plenty of room to let the memories shine.  I’ve added some of the sweet Journal Bits, along with tags from the 6 x 8 Paper Pad and a few of the gorgeous Chipboard Pieces to bring everything together.

I just love how these collections make it so easy to create a page that feels beautifully layered and full of little details. The vintage colours, patterns and embellishments work so perfectly together, creating that timeless harmony that makes this collection such a joy to scrapbook with.

I’m looking forward to adding the three photos and seeing the page come to life!
