Pretty Layouts with Posh
Hello! It's Jennifer on the blog today and I'm very excited to share two layouts I created with the new Posh [1] collection! Oh my...the colors are GORGEOUS as well as the beautiful platinum foil accents! Posh is one of my favorite collections of the new release and I couldn't wait to dig into it! Simple Stories never ceases to amaze me with how each release is better and better!
For my first layout "Hazel Grace" I wanted to do a sort of grid style for my page. I thought the colors of Posh would be perfect to scrap photos of our new little girl kitten! I started with the lovely "Choose to Shine" paper with its pink background and gold foil dots. I also added strips of "Simply Amazing" and "Live Simply" to my right edge.

I layered three different patterns to create a 4x4 square as well as stickers from the Combo Sticker sheet! I love the navy colored letter stickers! I also incorporated some of the new Totally Chic Washi Tape as well as a lovely gold foil chipboard butterfly!

Another new addition to the collection are the Carpe Diem Posh roller stamps! I will be honest, I am a big hoarder of roller stamps..so I was more than thrilled to see these in the new release! I love adding stamped sentiments along with my journaling or under a photo!

For one of my squares, I used this LOVE gold foil card from the 3x4 Journaling Card Elements! I love the colors! And how cute is the geometric heart sticker (again with gold foil!)?! I also accented with a tag from the Bits and Pieces pack, as well as a flower bouquet from the 6x12 Chipboard. You can spy another piece of the washi tape, too!

For my second layout, Brace Face, I started with a background cut file from Just Nick Studios that I cut out of white card stock. I then used different patterns from Posh to insert into petals of the flowers. It's a great way to use a variety of papers without getting too overwhelming.

I love using the different sized journaling cards to place next to my photo! Here, I used a 3x4 sized card and added my title with the navy letter stickers from the Combo Sticker Sheet. I also layered many little die cuts from the Bits and Pieces pack as well as a cute pink/gold foil chipboard heart!

How beautiful are the Totally Chic Washi Tapes? I added two strips to the side of my photo as they make a wonderful accent! I tend to hoard washi tape too so again I was so excited to see this new addition!

I love creating little clusters of embellishments around my pictures! And with Simple Stories, there is so much to choose from! I again used multiple die cuts from the Bits and Pieces as well as a cute sentiment sticker from the Combo Sticker Sheet.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you will go to the Simple Stories Products [2] page and check this collection out in its entirety! I hope you are as excited as I am about Posh as well as the rest of the awesome collections! Have a great day!
