Card tip of the day~

Here is my card tip of the day and for me for once super duper smart, so right this down, you won't want to miss it!

I was making Christmas cards (100 of them to be exact) and I need to cut my 12 x 12 cardstock down to 4 x 12.  I was also going to need to SCORE that cardstock at 4" because my finished card was going to be 4 x 8.

Making sense so far????  Here comes the tip~~~~When you are doing cards like this or similar....SCORE THEM FIRST!!!!!!!!  I scored the 12 x 12 cardstock at 4" and then cut it into 4 x 12 cards (be careful to cut with your score line the correct way)!!!!

So instead of scoring 100 cards, I only had to score 34! Brilliant right!!!!!!!  Scrap smarter not harder ladies!!!

PS:  also when making 100 plus cards this year, I assembly lined my cards I scored and let my darling hubby fold with the bone folder.  I let him trim out the 200 photos for the Studio J layout cards! and he'll be doing the gluing down of the cards this year while I do the addressing...after 11 years of doing this all alone while he watches I was ready for the "oh I wish I could have helped" smirk this year!!!!

Artbooking Made Easy: Everyday Layouts (S01E08)

How to get that family photo moment...no matter WHERE you are!!!

Okay so we all WANT that special photo from whatever happens to be the current season or event...but as practically perfect as we all maybe we, we can't always make it as a family to the Pumpkin Patch.  So make the pumpkin patch come to you! Let me show you how.

These are the photos I had taken for my fall layout for my Mom's Scrapbook calendar (don't tell her! LOL):

NOW here is the photo before I cropped the 1st photo look closely to the right side in particular and you can see that mums were on sale; 

Yup, you got!  We are NOT at the pumpkin patch we are in the Walmart parking lot near the garden center door.  This is the decoration they have set up showing off the Halloween sale they are having inside (the sign was to the left which I made sure to sit us clear of). 

You don't need your good camera always, these photos were taken on my cell phone.

Keep this in mind the as Christmas is coming and your family is all together and you are at the mall and you see a great mall display with an awesome sleigh or snowman, its time for a quick family photo....store workers are great helpers for this if you want the whole family.

Halloween My Creations Ring Box

I decided after finishing my Halloween ring, that I need something fun to keep it in while I'm not wearing it.  Using My Creations Kraft Ring Box, Sarita matching fabric, and some matching baubles from that same retired CTMH accessory pack (sorry everyone when I tell you to buy them before they are gone I mean it :)!).

Halloween Base and Bling Ring

I am loving CTMH's Base & Bling jewelry because it is giving me away to make fun and trendy jewelry for just a few dollars.  I wanted something for the Halloween season, so I decided on a ring.  Sarita's fabric has that warm and rich orange tone fabric that is PERFECT for Halloween.  Take a look!!!!

Using the twisting techinique similar to the necklace kit (which is really really easy its folding long narrow strip of fabric, with cut seams inward to prevent loose threads, tightly twisting).  For an added something, as I twisted I also wrapped the twisted fabric with black embroidery floss to give it just a little something extra (think of the possibilities you can twist into your projects).

When I was all done twisting and wrapping this down onto the big red tape glue dot, I added a retired CTMH skull brad by putting some liquid glass on the end of the brad and just pushing it into the tightly wrapped fabric.

I love the results! and when all is said and done I have only a couple of dollars into the whole project and it only took a few minutes to make!

These are sooooo much fun.

Base and Bling Necklace Kit

I wanted to show off my Base and Bling Necklace that I made in under an hour!  Fun, right!  Best part, this homemade jewelry comes in a ready to make, easy kit from Close To My Heart.  All the pieces shown and more (listed below), plus adhesive and full directions are included with the kit. 

Here is a picture of the kit and all its goodies:

Use the fabric from the Sarita textiles and Base & Bling products in this kit to create your own beautifully embellished necklace!
1 – Sheet of Outdoor Denim/Twilight Dots fabric (from Sarita Textiles)
1 – Base & Bling Necklace
10 – Base & Bling Adhesive Dots; (4 sizes) (not shown)
5 – Base & Bling Adhesive Strips (not shown)
1 – Pack of selected Base & Bling Teal & Black Jewels
3 – Base & Bling Floral Accents (1 each of 3 sizes) 1 – Base & Bling Word Accent

Now I'm showing you the necklace today, but our new product line doesn't stop there; make custom clips, rings, headbands, bracelets and more in multiple colors where only YOUR imagination can limit your choices!

Guest Studio J designer - two layouts with opposite techniques/great results

I love how Rose made this layout so fun and flowing, yet it is crisp and clean.  Sometimes we get so caught up in themes and decorating our pages our pictures and stories become second fiddle and here that is clearly NOT the case. Great job and great layout Rose!!!!

The 2nd layout we have today is bright, colorful, and engaging just like her pictures of her kids at the Children's museum.  Another great job of letting the photos direct the story.

Lesson of the day is whether you like clean lines or bold color remember BOTH can be great as long as your photos are the stars as they are here!

Artbooking Made Easy #06

Proplayer notebook

I made this quick and easy Proplayer notebook using Cricut Artbooking & Artiste cuts, and 1 sheet of B&T paper.  See the spiral on it, that is made with our new twist tie, wrapped around a pencil and then pulled out for length.  I glued it on with liquid glass, and squished down.

Artbooking Made Easy #5 Mini Album

Cricut Artbooking Endless Summer Layout

Look at the super easy and fast layout quickly done with CTMH's Cricut Artbooking Key!  I love how easy everything is resized on Artbooking for you automatically.  No craft math!!!!!  All we had to do was cut everything to 11" (which is the size of the lace overlay) and everything is autosized for us.  Dana Simone-Kurtz made this cute page kit for me, and it was perfect for the picture of the kids in the pool (or the pool steps, that's as close as Kennedy gets)!  

Check out the TITLE.  That effect is done by cutting the title in one color cardstock then with two other colors sponge daubing straight sections one shade to the next, from darkest to lightest.  I recommend working actually from light to dark because you can always go darker, but you can't go back :)

For more Artbooking samples follow me on pinterest and watch for CTMH's video tutorial series Artbooking made easy.  And to get your OWN artbooking cartridge call me at 760-712-7033 or head to heatherplotzke.ctmh.com to order now!

Surf's Up Paper is perfect for the beach

I love how Rose changed the base page color of this Wings paper from Black and Green to shades of Pink.  Its just a simple CLICK in Studio J.  Head over to Heatherplotzke.ctmh.com to start now!

This retired L8tr Skater paper pack was one of my favorites while we carried it in PAPER, but now that it lives on in Studio J I'm THRILLED!!! because I can use it over and over again for my daredevil shots. 

 Way to go Rose, Thanks for sharing your great layouts with us!!!!!!!!!!!

Artbooking Made Easy (S01E03): Summer Mini-Albums

Tube Wreaths

Tube Wreath Directions (September's Workshop)

 

(1) 10” circle chipboard covered w/cs (the reason for covering it is in case you see between the tubes)

Punch 2 holes for hanging ribbons ( I recommend doing this after you have hot glued your cones on chipboard)

3 patterns of paper – (4) 6" x 5"  

  * the paper that you want to be the outside needs to be the back when you     roll…roll like cone and glue (glue short side to long side)

Place cones around wreath to determine rough spacing; remember to leave room for play once gluing begins because there will be shifting. 

5 ½ “ circle to cover center (I skipped this step on wreath when filled with paper roses) / then layer & decorate.  When applying the center shape try foam tape to give a raise look, it also makes it easier to adhere to each of the tubes.

For additional fun try squishing/pinching the cones and tipping them all on their sides as you glue them for a different look OR making it oval shaped.

For other samples you can check my pinterest account http://pinterest.com/Heatherplotzke  for my samples, as well as others I’ve found – (under Fall fun is where the original inspiration came from (& once I got started I couldn’t stop myself lol).

 

Fun themes besides holidays:

·         Sports teams (We did Oregon Ducks)

·         School – pencils in between tubes were super cute

·         Kids character themes

·         Clubs/organizations
