Simple, but gorgeous!

Need to spice up an empty space on your wall or door?! Try creating a simple, but gorgeous, wall hanging. All you will need is just a couple pieces of Urban Lily papers.

In today's project, I used the following sheets:




That's it. Just a couple sheets of paper will allow you to create the project pictured below:


I took some wood products from Zutter, and I covered them with my first sheet of patterned paper. Afterwards, I cut out some cute journaling spots from my second sheet of paper; I embellished my project with these cut outs.

To create that glittery look, I applied Modge Podge Sparkle to the surface of my project.

Once it was dry, I used the bind-it-all to create holes to loop some tulle.



Can you believe that only TWO sheets of Urban Lily paper can create this project?! If you don't believe, you should give it a try! You will love the result of your outcome!

Happy creating to all.

Hugs,
sarah.

Mixing it Up !!

Hello scrappers, it's Aida back again with another Urban Lily project !

Fairly often I hear comments about how hard it is to scrap papers with bold graphic designs and even tougher to combine the different lines for layouts. Yes I have to admit graphic designs may be a challenge initially, but as you use them more and more, you will be able to find common design links that will pull together to make your project appealing. Below are papers from two contrasting UL lines - Happy Everything with it's bold black and strong graphics and Lulliloo which is soft and sweet.

Happy Everything :

Lulliloo :

I love the strength of the bold butterflies because it reminds me of how much my seventeen year old has matured, grown in confidence and become the person she was meant to be. Every parent has hopes for the kids and we all want them to be comfortable in their abilities, to have a sureness of character and fill their potential. At the same time the peachy softness of the Lulliloo says inside she is still the same, sweet person even while her opinions and voice becomes more definite, more certain.

The layout is titled *You*.



The details :



So there you are : the different lines of Urban Lily can be combined to create a layout that tells a great story and one that is eye-catching.

I hope you are enjoying the varied work of the Design Team and that we've shown you how to get the most out of Urban Lily. Now it's time for you to get scrapping and have fun !!

Secret Keeper - Clara by Polinka

Hi Readers!

Polinka is here again, with another Secret Keeper used as a storage for drawings and scrapbooks... This one is for my niece Clara, who loves Pink above all other colors!!

Clara

Supplies:
Secret Keeper Cardstock - Butterfly by Urban Lily
Patterned Paper - Pink Flamingo by Urban Lily - California Collection
Helmar Adhesive Runner
Chipboard alphabet from Buzz and Bloom
Blue Glimmer Mist
White and Pink Acrylic Paint

The secret keeper cardstock has been sprayed with dark blue glimmer mist paint. And then I painted the alphabet chipboards in pink, assorted to the cute girly girl pink paper, of which I cut off the center circle...
I used te leftover center of the patterned paper, by sticking it inside the secret keeper, to decorate the butterfly!

To finish, I just added points of white and pink paint along the circle for the fun part!

Show us what you like to do with the Secret Keepers!

Happy Sunday!

Hi Swanky fans! It's me, Sarah, and I thought that today would be a great day to share a layout and card!

First up, I would like to share my most recent Urban Swank layout.



I used the following sheets on this layout:





To give it a "kick", I misted the background. I also cut out the flowers from the other sheet and used them as embellishments. For two sheets of paper, it turned out pretty, don't you think?!

Lastly, I wanted to share a card that I created with leftover scraps from my Urban Swank stash.



Hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I do. ...and thanks again for letting my share my work with all of you.

Hugs,
sarah.

Cards, etc... by Polinka

Hi!!

Today, I will show you 3 easy projects, including 2 cards and a layout...

Simple Card

I made this card in a few minutes, by using left-overs of ATC cards and a journaling card as the background...
I'm usually not a cardmaker, so I like when it goes fast and keeps simple design!

ATC Cards by Urban Lily
Helmar Adhesive Runner
Stamp for the word Simplement + black ink

MJ card

I made this card about Michael Jackson for a friend of mine who is a real fan since she was born... I found this picture in a german magazine and thought of creating an ATC, but I couldn't fit everything on the small ATc size, so I finally decided for a card!


Supplies:
Memory Photocards - Swirl by Urban Lily
ATC Cards by Urban Lily
Helmar Adhesive Runner
Stickers & Stamps for the words + black and white ink

Children's page

My nephews and niece helped me on this one! I gave them 3 white ATC cards to decorate as they wished with paint and drawing gum, and used them as a decoration for this silly photo of them!
Well, I gave them a few more products to play with and I will use them all on my next projects so stay tuned for children inspiration!! hehe!

Blue & Green

Hello, everyone! What is your favorite color? I like blue and green. Two layouts using the favorite color are introduced.

[beautiful world]

Supplies:

papers - Urban Lily

Adhesives – Helmar Adhesives

other - lettering

The main paper of this layout is Breeze of Sugary Collection. In addition, Mini Book B&W of Urban Cut Collection, Linen of Everyday Lily Collection, Stripe of Mooch Collection, and Sugarhigh were used.

The cutout of the design was carried out from the paper. Although it was very fine work, I like it very much:)

The next is also a layout which uses blue and green.

[Heaven's field]

Supplies:
papers,rubon,Seacret Keeper Windows - Urban Lily
Adhesives – Helmar Adhesives
other - lettering,flowers,ribbons

I used Ink of Blink Collection, and Massimo of Blink Collection with this layout. And Secret Keeper Windows is also used.

Since a window frame was fixed, I used Square White Zapdots of Helmar Adhesives in piles.

Fortunately I can make a work using the blue and green of Urban Lily products. And I expect that you will make a work using this product that gives a great inspiration.
Happy Friday!!

Some Fun with Urban Lily! from Virginia

My youngest is in Kindergarten. Every week, there seems to be a volunteering request. This week I was thrilled to make a "L'il Mommy" banner for the class kitchen. Here is my "L'il Mommy" modelling the banner.

Supplies:  Urban Lily papers used: Honey, Lulu, Ink, and Lily.   Helmar 450 adhesive, ribbon (source unknown), buttons (source unknown), sewing, EK Success flower punch

And a close-up of each banner flag.

We are also invited to a birthday party tomorrow. So with my scraps, I whipped up a quick card, coloured an image with my Copics and voila! instant birthday joy!

Thanks for letting me share!

Time Really Does Fly - from Virginia

When they say "Time Flies" it certainly applies to children. It seems like only yesterday that my daughters were born and now they are 5 and 10 yrs old.

Today I'd like to share a layout I did of my 10 yr old. using the following papers: Bloss, Honey, Midsummer  and Bonnie, all from the Sugary Collection.

To create the banner, I used my circle punch to punch the circles from the paper. The circles were folded in half and wrapped around some ric rac. As well, the primary adhesive used on this layout is from Helmars - love their adhesives! And to finish it off, I sprayed the layout with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

Here is a close-up of the banner.

Life is very busy with 2 gregarious girls and I often find myself forgetting what day it is. I used the Photocards (Posh, Luna, Swirl and Polka Dot) to create this perpetual calendar. As well, I used the Numbers paper as the numbers on calendar.

The front cover is actually cardboard from a cereal box, covered with Linen from the Everyday Collection, Linen Stripe from the Everyday Collection, Impish from the Mayella Collection, Petite from the Mayella Collection and Bliss from the Mayella Collection. All the pieces are held together with the Zutter Bind it All.

Here is a close-up and side view of the perpetual calendar.

Thank you for letting me share.
