Beach Bound - Queen & Company

 Hey there.

Just take a look at the new Beach Bound Kit from Queen and Company.  

I love it so much.  I created the layout during a FB live over HERE.  Then I created this card during a different live, HERE.  I have decided that I will NEVER create with Queen again without the Outline Dies.  They made making the shakers so much easier.   Almost every collection is being created with a new matching Solid 6x6 Paper pad.  The one to match the Beach Bound kit is gorgeous.

Star Power - Queen and Company

Good morning!
Mary-Ann Maldonado here with a fun way to use your shaker die cuts to their fullest potential.  I was assigned the Stars Shaped Shaker Kit over at Queen & Company, and I incorporated it into my title two times! 

You can see below that I used a cut file for my title from Paper Issues.  I used a FREE cut file and cut it 3 times.  Twice as a background and once in black as shown.  There are three stars in the kit and I chose the one that would best fit in the place of the A.  I filled it with random toppings to help coordinate with the colors in my photo.  

I used the smaller star for the O in Power.  You can sere that I used think strips of papers to create a background for my layout.  Then I journaled on white paper strips and stamped a few sentiments on white as well and tucked them in random places. 

I pepped Rubber Bubbles, Buttons, Opals and Rivets for color and embellishment.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Grab your shaker kits and incorporate them onto your next layout.

Shaker Cards - Queen and Company

Good morning Q&C fans!
I have two new shaker cards for ya!  I gotta tell you it is really fun to be given a die set and told go to town!  There is so much versatilely to these sets.  No rules, just plain creativity.  I was assigned the Circle Shaped Shaker Set.  The set includes dies and the coordinating Foam Shapes.  9 foam shapes to be exact and 3 different size circle dies.  The Stamp Set that is included has several different themes.  Making playing with this set, super easy and fun. 

I decided to create a card based in the stamp sentiment: Something for the happy couple.  I looked through my older die/stamp stash for something I could make two of, representing the happy couple.  I found this fun Flamingo that came with a palm tree.   

After layering the papers and creating the shaker, I filled it with coordinating Jewel and Pop Toppings, Iridescent Toppings and Pearlies.  Adding a few stationary Metallic Bubbles in gold.

Supplies used:
Heart Throb Kit
Picture Perfect 6x6 pad
Metallic Bubbles - Gold
Circle Shaped Shaker
Toppings: Pops, Iridescent Bubbles, Pearlies and Jewels.

For my second card, I wanted to incorporate the Sunburst Die with the Circle Shaped Shaker.  I first blended my base paper with a few colors representing the sun.  After cutting out the Sunburst Die, I layered the Circle die on the Sunburst and re-cut with my Big Shot.  Leaving a Circle background, showing the pretty blended colors.  

I filled the Circle with various Confetti Toppings and Iridescent Bubbles.  Tied a yellow Sparkle String bow and that was all!

Supplies used:
Circle Shaped Shaker
Sparkle String - Yellow
Sunburst Die
Toppings: Confetti, Iridescent Bubbles, Tiny Bubbles

Thank you for popping in today.  I hope you are inspired to use other dies along with your newer ones.  It is a fun technique.

Sweet as Candy - Queen and Company

My favorite girl surrounded by candy is just right. 

I used the papers in the Candy Land Kit from Queen and Company to help draw out the colors in the photo.  Flo can not leave her basket alone.  She can't just pull out the one toy she wants.  She empties the entire bucket for the one toy on the bottom.  

Look how adorable the candy jars and candy are from the newest Shaker Kit from Q&C.  

Love - Queen and Company

Morning!

It is not often that my sister and her husband come down.  But when they do, Roman is hooked to Uncle Mitch's hip.  He laughs so hard that he cries.  I am seriously not sure who is more immature. I swear, that some of the jokes don't even make sense.  

Anyway, I captured this moment of Bub sitting on Uncle Mitch's lap.  He's bigger than his uncle but neither one of them care. 

I used so many Queen and Company products on this layout.  It was super fun and kinda girly cause my sister is the the photo too.  I need to take the chance to use pink any time I can!  lol.  

Head over to the Queen blog, to get the details on what projects I used.

Summer - Queen and Company

Well, this is different for me.  I decided on the rainbow paper first.  Then, the Windows Shaker Card Kit.  I wanted to do more than the norm for my blog post on the Queen and Company blog today, so I added 3, THREE different die cuts, with two being shaker cards.  ON a layout!  What!

So, right now, it is all about summer and our pool.  We had friends over recently and I printed and trimmed my fave photos to fit within the Windows Shaker.  But my fave, the color bling that matches the rainbow paper.  I love it!  It was fun to find just the right colors to match. 

Head to the Queen and Company store to get yourself some fun embellishments and shakers.
