Scrap Your Summer with Nicole Wright

September 3, 2020 No Comments

Summer is slowly slipping away but that doesn’t mean we can’t capture those moments and scrap them. Hello fellow creatives, Nicole here bringing you a scrappy layout! I know… not my usual gig. However, I have a new paper collection releasing with Wild Whisper called Tinbit Travels and I wanted to scrap with it. I created these mixed media pages to mimic the outdoors with colours and texture. Check out this easy layout for my Airstream, Tinbit. Tinbit Travels is about to release. For this layout I cut every sheet. Yes, that was surprisingly difficult. I printed out a 5×7 Tinbit photo and gathered some supplies to get inspired. I cut each piece of the mixed media side of the Tinbit Travels pages 1 ¾”x 11”. Because each mixed media page is designed with the textures of nature, I wanted to add all that pop of colour.

Picket Fence Meets Brother ScanNCut

June 11, 2020 2 Comments

Hello everyone! Kerry Engel here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Blog! I’ve been looking at stamps differently lately. I like to see if there are ways that I can deconstruct the different design elements so that I can cut it apart and create layers. The Beauty and Song stamp by Picket Fence Studios is a stamp that has a lot of opportunities to go a bit crazy with layers. Here’s how I put this one together. Step 1. Stamp the image on cardstock and use the Brother ScanNCut to precisely cut the stamped image from the cardstock. TIP: This stamp has some open ends. The Brother ScanNCut scans the outside edge and requires a black edge. The opened-ended leaves on this stamp needed to be closed in. The Brother ScanNCut did an amazing job of cutting out this complex stamp. I was suitably impressed with how it cut perfectly…
