I have had fun playing with the latest collab from The Digichick Designers, Fun in the Sun:
Such a lovely kit for all those summer layouts!
Of course, me being a hybrid girl, I couldn't just use it as a digital kit now, could I? I ended up making two cards and an album, just using the kit plus cardstock, lace, ribbon and bling from my stash. Firstly, the cards:
Whilst the watermelon is an svg file, it also comes as a pdf so rather than go to the bother of using my Cameo, I just cut it out by hand. The greetings are from Stampin' Up! stamps sets.
The first card was printed on photographic paper whilst the second was on plain cardstock. The colours are definitely better in real life on the photographic paper but thanks to the wonders of Photoshop, the plain card looks just as good in the photo! ;) In real life, the colours are much more drab, so I painted the watermelon using a clear Wink of Stella brush.
I then decided to make an album and here it is:
Apart from the ribbon, lace and bling, everything else is straight from the kit. I'll be writing a full blog post for The Hybrid Chick showing how I made this in due course, but here are the photos of the pages:
It was really quick and easy to put together, deciding which papers and embellishments to use and then print took longer!
Well, I need to get on with some work now, so I hope to be back in a day or so with another post.
Happy scrapping!
Nibbles Skribbles recently released a really neat kit, Soar:
Now the great thing about digital kits is that was well as using them for scrapbooking, you can also use them to make some really quick and easy cards. Take a look at these:
For the first card, I used the kit flowers for the cluster then added the leaves and butterfly. For the second card, it was just the bird, cloud and wordart from the kit. Nothing could have been simpler! I printed them out, cut the printout down to size, added ink around the edges and adhered them to the base card.
So if you are looking for a quick and simple birthday card, why not try something like this? It is so easy, you will kick yourself for not having done it before!
Happy scrapping!
Just to let you all know that there is a great gift blog hop going on from Paperie, Technique Junkie, and Sweet 'n Sassy
Stamps and it is well worth a visit to each blog for some amazing Christmas inspiration!
Just take a look at this for some creative gift wrapping:
Aren't they gorgeous? You can find them HERE and also follow the links to the blog hop as well.
Happy scrapping!
It seems an age since I was last here (nothing new in that, I hear you say....) but things have been, as usual, busy here. My youngest is recovering nicely from his op, and I can't get over how small his scar is. My appendix scar is a huge monstrous thing, but then after four children, most things in my abdominal region are pretty huge and monstrous ;). However, his scar s a really neat 1.5" and looks like a partially healed scratch! All I can say to that is his surgeon must be far neater at stitching than I am! I am dead impressed!
He's still not back at school, and is getting tired really easily, but hopefully, he will be able to go back sometime next week, just in time to get some revision in for the science exams they are making year 8 take. I can't tell you how much he is looking forward to those, not!
Anyhow, despite being really busy with work, I have still managed to find time to make some cards (I don't know how, other than the fact that work is probably suffering as a result), and this is what I have been up to:
It's only a very basic card, made with cardstock and ribbon from my stash but the toadstool house is actually made using a photoshop action from Dreamcatcher Designs. The action makes a fairy house, bow, flower and wings, and you can find it here. It's not free, I'm afraid, but then so few photoshop actions like this are :(.
I'm actually entering the card in the Craftalicious Challenges as I reckon since I'm now making all these cards, I might as well do something with them! One of the design team on the Craftalicious blog is Jan, who just happens to run the craft class I go to ;).
I've also been designing too, trying my hand at creating vellum. I do have some notepaper for you but haven't had chance to upload it yet. However, I have also been playing around with brushes, and came up with this:
It's a png file and you can download it here. If you do use it, I'd love to see what you do with it :).
Happy scrapping!
