June’s members kit is an animated card design. I’ve included material suggestions and links below. So, sadly both Ian and I have been out of commission for most of the month due to the dreaded Covid. While Ian has bounced back, its a bit of a longer path for me. […]
Patterned Papers
Natalie reviews Somerset Studio: a quarterly publication by Stampington & Company as part of her new affiliate partnership with them.
All print and cut methods consist of three important elements: the registration marks (on both the cut file and print out), the image(s) (on the print only), and the cut paths (in the cut file only). Keeping this in mind helps you to understand how print & cut functions.
Time for a rethink, shuffle and change it all around. So get out your ScanNCut and have a play with a little warm up project
Idea Journal: this is our first project with the Pretty Gets Gritty Design Team. See this project on Hochanda on 9th November at 9am and 1pm.
Quilted Paper Card: This week's Throwback Thursday project is perfect for using up your scraps. You could stick to monotones in your quilted background like I have here, but it would look just as good multi-coloured.
This project has been designed to use any topper pad/sentiment and co-ordinating pad, and can be used for many different occasions. It is a great card for mailing as it folds more or less flat while giving a great depth when removed from its packaging. The pattern foiling technique can lift even the simplest printed design to luxury paper.
For those of you who have seen Kylie Bertucci and her #loveitchopit method, you may find it doesn't necessarily work for our type of crafting. In particular, the ScanNCut will not happily cut edge to edge; meanwhile it also allows us to create more layers through nesting shapes. Instead, I wanted to adapt an easy approach that ScanNCut users could use (along with other electronic cutters); thus came #loveitchopitSNC to our blog and magazine.
