Materials Used: Crafting a Hauntingly Perfect Little Shop of Horrors Scrapbook Layout

CTMH Exclusive Colors:

• Jade – A deep green that perfectly captures Audrey II’s monstrous foliage.

• Journey – A moody, dark blue that enhances the shadows and depth.

• Royal – A rich purple that mirrors the bold hues of the set design.

• Rosy – A warm, vintage pink that adds contrast and highlights.

CTMH stamp pads Journey, Royal & Jade & coordinating cardstock — From eerie greens to dramatic purples, these CTMH colors set the stage for a scrapbook layout as bold as the performance itself! Jade, Journey, Royal, and Rosy—the perfect cast for crafting magic!” 🎭🌿💜

Design Space Elements:

• Custom die-cut embellishments created in Cricut® Design Space, including potted plants, a desk, a clock, and of course, Audrey II herself! These elements bring the eerie flower shop to life.

CTMH “Design Elements” Stamp Set:

• Used to create a notched wood texture on the background, replicating the rustic, distressed feel of the floral shop set.

Leaf Stencil:

• To mimic Audrey II’s creeping, curling vines, I used a stencil with layered CTMH inks (Jade, Journey, and Royal) to create shadows, movement, and depth.

Creating the Layout: Step-by-Step Inspiration

1️⃣ Building the Base:

• Started with a black cardstock border to frame the design, with a White Daisy cardstock base for contrast.

2️⃣ Textured Background: Adding Character with Stamps

• To mimic the flower shop’s aged wood walls, I stamped the CTMH “Design Elements” pattern in Jade ink, giving it a vintage, theatrical feel.

“Design Elements Stamp Set”. — The CTMH “Design Elements” stamp in Jade ink transforms plain cardstock into rustic, aged wood—just like the walls of Mushnik’s Flower Shop! This little detail adds BIG stage-worthy character to the layout!” 🌿🪵

3️⃣ Crafting the Vines: The Audrey II Effect

• Without pre-made vine embellishments, I went full DIY! Using a leaf stencil and die cuts, I built Audrey II’s curling vines across the page.

• I blended Jade, Journey, and Royal inks to create shadowed, layered vines that feel like they’re creeping right off the page!

• These sprawling vines encircle a large focal circle where the main photo will go—just like how Audrey II takes center stage in the show!

4️⃣ Custom Die-Cut Elements: Scene-Setting Details

The colors and designs truly enhanced the visual storytelling aspect of the scrapbook — Every detail, from the vintage desk to the hungry Audrey II, brings Mushnik’s Flower Shop to life! Layered, textured, and packed with theatrical drama—just like the show itself!” 🌿🕰️🎬

• Using Cricut® Design Space, I designed and cut out:

✔ A vintage desk – because where else would Seymour tend to his man-eating plant?

✔ A clock – a nod to the passing time as Audrey II grows hungrier.

✔ Potted plants – to complete the chaotic, overgrown aesthetic of the shop.

✔ Audrey II herself! – the star of the show!
