Happy Layout By Cindy

Happy Friday and Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating! Today I am back with another layout made with the November kit. I did a bit of layering with four different pattern papers and added a small glassine bag that came together with the kit to keep my journaling. To create the banner, I first have to decide how and where to put my photo. Once I have that figured out, I stitched down the vellum circles and then lastly adhere the photo piece. The clothespin are for visual interest only. I think I am quite obsess with splattering paint on my layout and this one is no exception either. 

I hope you like today's layout and I will be back next week to share another project. See you!

My Favorite Buddies Layout by Cindy

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's Cindy here and today I will be sharing a layout I made with the November kit, Sock Hop and the add on kit, Poodle Skirt. Oh, how I love the colors from both kits! I started this layout with the photo and slowly work my way around it. Can you see the feather vellum (also by Dear Lizzy) behind the photo and the butterfly die cut? I love how subtle the effect was and thought it would be a great contrast for my bright yellow butterfly die cut. The rest of the embellishments came pretty quickly and surprisingly I love the floral die cut that I tucked behind the photo. See the diagonal stripe banner below the photo? It was added last minute due to a minor "accident". I wanted to stamp the date but I had it all wrong...instead of 2012, I stamped 2015. Bummer! Then, I had an idea to cover it with the banner and a sticker with a stamped date. Yes, I got the correct date in the end :) I hope you like this layout as much as I am. Have a great day!

Elves Layout by Cindy

Morning everyone! I am back to share another layout using the Central High kit and Style Guide add-on kit. I am just glad I used some of the embellishments from the kit that I never have thought of using in the first place. Like the red and orange letter stickers by Amy Tangerine and the hexagon chipboard. I used the chipboard as a mask and I love how it turned out. Think I will be using it more often from now on :) Not sure if you noticed the smudge of black ink on my layout but I used black mist to cover the minor accident that were caused by my carelessness. And it worked just fine :) So the tip of the day is if you happen to have accident like this, take a bottle of your favorite mist or ink and just splatter away. It makes your project looks artsy too.

Coffee Addict Layout by Cindy

Hello lovelies! It's Cindy and today I have a layout to share using the September kit. I love the arrow stamp from the Style Guide kit so much that I decided to use it for my background. For added interest, I stitched the arrows with my newly bought sewing machine :) When I saw the alpha sticker by Amy Tangerine, I wasn't sure if I'm ever going to use it. At first I thought they were plastic but I was wrong. And now, they are in my favorite product list. They are so fun to use and I like them better than Thickers.

Simple Cards by Cindy

Hello everyone! It's Cindy and I am back to share what I've made using the September kit, Central High and add-on 1, Style Guide.

For the first card, I used American Crafts pattern paper from the main kit and mat it on a cream card base. I punch out three butterflies on a diagonal blue pattern paper by Studio Calico and wrap bakers twine around it twice and finished it off with the "today" tab. For added dimension, I adhere the butterfly panel with foam square.

For my second card, I want it to be clean and simple so I keep embellishments to minimal. I cut out three banners of different sizes and adhere them to the left side of the kraft card base. I wrap bakers twine around it and tied in a bow. I adhere a flair button on the bow and finished off the card with faux stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you a great day!

Lullaby Layout and a Tip by Cindy Lee

Happy Saturday to you! It's Cindy again and I have a layout and a tip to share today. First is a layout I made with the July kit. To create the background, I drew sunburst pattern on Kraft cardstock and fill the negative space with Studio Calico patterned paper. For added dimension, I add faux stitch around the sunburst pattern and letter stickers. The quickest and easiest way to create faux stitch is by using a tracing wheel and I am going to show you exactly how to do it.

To create your own faux stitch, you need a tracing wheel which you can get from sewing store and an ink of your choice. I usually use either black or dark brown.

To ink your tracing wheel, simply roll the wheel in the ink. You may want to do it a couple of times to make sure that the wheel is fully covered in ink.

Then just roll the wheel onto your project as shown. Voila, faux stitch done under one minute :)

Hope you find today's tip useful and happy scrapping!

3 months layout by Cindy Lee

Hello everyone! This is Cindy sharing my first layout on Scrappin Studio Blog. Before I start, I would like to thank Jaime for giving me the opportunity to be in her design team! So without further ado, here's a layout I created using the Studio Calico's July kit "Elmwood Park" and add-on kit "Four Square".

Arrow and negative punch outs/die cuts are so in trend right now that I had to include them on my layout. The arrows were actually cut out from patterned paper by Studio Calico.

Got to love the 9 to 5 banner by October Afternoon and the Indie Chic buttons by My Mind's Eye. I love to add bit and pieces of paper and embellishments to my layout....and lots of white space of course.

Love what you are seeing here? You can purchase them from the store. Be sure to grab them before it's sold out. Thanks for visiting and I will be back next week with another layout :)
