Have you seen the Velvet Meadow from Stampin’Up?

Have you seen the Velvet Meadows Paper Pack from Stampin’Up? I have to tell you, it doesn’t look like much online or in the catalog, but when you see it in person…. It is amazing. Every sheet in this pack has one side with velvet enhanced. It is so beautiful that you don’t need to add a lot to make a stunning project out of it.

Here is a video showing you a card idea and the paper up close.

Splash of Paper: Which Watercolor Paper Works Best?

After so many questions about the watercolor pencils from my video showing you the Stampin’Up! Nature’s Paintings Kit (see video link below), I decided to show you a bit more what you can do with this set. Today we have a closer look at the paper that comes with this set and what alternatives you have using more than just watercolor paper. Next time I will show you more techniques on using the watercolor pencils and how to color with them.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card Idea

Why make live complicated especially when it comes to creating Christmas cards, right? If you are like me and you send out dozens of cards each season, you don’t want to create complicated cards. Here is another example of a super easy to make card. Thanks to my friend Erin Jacobson who designed multiple cards from one sheet of design paper. I picked this one and alternated it for my class. It only takes a few minutes to make this card so check it out: https://youtu.be/3_Iiht1tS6U?si=SGP_otZdLY198FpG

How to change die-cuts from plain to special

Hope you all had a nice Halloween yesterday. So I have one more Halloween layout from the workshop kit for you. This time I scrap-lifted my friend Erin’s layout 😊 I have created 3 different layouts with this workshop kit and I still have enough papers left to make at least 1 or 2 more, but they have to wait. Next the Autumn workshop. I have to say this set here was a lot of fun to work with.

If you are interested, here is the link to the 3. layout  https://youtu.be/tbo7CLvwtjc?si=84wMOcBBegMoXz_t 

Have a great weekend.💕

A fun and easy Halloween layout with special ephemera’s

 

I am having so much fun with the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’Up! Love the bright colors in this set and you can create 3 fun double page Halloween layouts with this set. I decided to make it even more interesting for you. I am creating 3 different double page layouts from the same set, so you have even more ideas to choose from. Last week I showed you Layout No.1 and you can find the link to this one in the description for today’s video.

Hope over to my YT channel and see how I created Layout No.2 for you: https://youtu.be/GtKsYuHGAjw?si=IuTOSkJ16Bn_UlUf

So Spooky layout for Halloween using the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit

 

It’s the third Friday of the month and this means another Scrapbook Challenge is on. This time I am using the Stampin’Up! Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit and if you know me, I did my own thing. Yup….couldn’t resist the fun papers. While the workshop layouts are pretty and you too will be able to create 3 double page, I thought I give you a few extra layouts to choose or recreate. So here is the first one… https://youtu.be/2cscTGjf2j8?si=TFEx7iVhH8_X79Fb

Change a sketch to add more photos to your Layout

I love to work with sketches when I create a layout, but sometimes my picture sizes just don’t work, or do they? Changing a sketch to make it fit your photos is easy and something I do all the time. In this video I show you how I changed it just a bit to make my sizes and more photos work. If you have never worked with a sketch, give it a try. It makes creating so much easier. Hope over to my YT channel and see for yourself https://youtu.be/awsik-gBZXI?si=F3TK4zv67t7yNIQ8

Create a layout with one sheet of DSP and a twist on die-cuts

 

This layout took a bit longer than expected. Not because it was so difficult, but rather that there was too much going on since last week. Well, I finally finished it and I love how it turned out. The Frames & Florals Special 12x12 paper pack is so cute and it includes die-cuts ready to use. I used even the “throw-away” part LOL. 

Enjoy the process video and see what unusual parts of the paper pack I used 😊 https://youtu.be/Gl5aJYMtjU0?si=UEx6F0BLX8DO7Ppa

How to choose colors for your layout

Happy Friday Everyone…Do you find it difficult to match the right cardstock colors and design papers with your layouts? I know, there are so many different combinations and somehow it always seems like nothing is matching up, right? Now think of having to merge products from two companies together…I know colors are not the same, designs don’t work with each other….but  what if I can show you in today’s video one of my approaches on how to match things up.

Hope over to see how this layout was done: https://youtu.be/q_S2JPSWuQM?si=WMOsiwmzlvHk4yDj

How to make your Photos fit your Layout!

 

Happy Friday Carfty Friends, creating a scrapbook layout can be intimidating especially when you have a ton for photos to deal with. No matter if you are a beginner or a pro, sometimes the stack of photos  sitting in front of you is just too much. Let me show you how I try to “downsize” my stack and how I ended up with 13 pictures on a double page layout.

Video Link: https://youtu.be/E5nZEjgxhhg?si=_ALTNpZ0Y_0bVdzR

Let me know in the comments below what your biggest challenge is to start a layout and check out next Friday for more inspiration. 😊
