Digital (and Hybrid) Ideas for Christmas from Chantalle!

Chantalle McDaniel has used our digital and traditional supplies for some quick wrapping ideas. Not only is the digital kit she used on sale today, but most ALL JBS physical product is on sale through the 31st also!  Let's here from Chantalle:

If you are looking for a quick idea for your festive table or some super fast, custom gift wrap, look no further than the brilliant Vintage Christmas 2 collection, which is on sale right now.

Gift wrap is so easy to create and sure to impress. I simply printed off A4 sheets (at full bleed if your printer has that setting) of the prints available in the collection.

I have covered some kraft rolls from a DIY cracker kit in my printed paper. Stuff with some sweets and a joke and they will be a hit at your Christmas get together.

Custom gift wrap adds a special touch to presents.

I’ve teamed my wrapping with some JBS Rub-ons, some twine and ribbon as well as a Vintage Christmas tag and JBS feather tag.

Materials used:

Digital:

JBS Vintage Christmas 2

Traditional:

JBS Gold Doily Rub-ons

Gorgeous Autumn Chantalle Style ...

Chantalle McDaniel created a gorgeous paper autumn layout for us using our digital kit on sale today.

Designed by Lisa Dickinson, Autumn Crisp is half price through tonight - 

that's only $1.49 through midnight PT.

You can also pick up the matching cardstock for only a buck!

Here's Chantalle's layout and how she did it!

A hybrid layout using the Autumn Crisp paper collection

The ‘Banner’ paper was printed onto textured cardstock and used as my base. I’ve printed the ‘Autumn Leaves’ and ‘Neutral leaves’ onto plain white card paper and fussy cut various leaves.

For the gold glitter leaf, I’ve used one of the cut leaves as a guide before hand cutting.

All my little elements were then arranged and machine stitched down into a banner.

Materials used:

Digital:

JBS Autumn Crisp collection

JBS Graphic Feather cut files

Traditional:

JBS Bloom sequins

JBS Graphic Feather chipboard elements

JBS Butterfly assortment sequins

JBS Icons Flatbacks

JBS Butterfly (red) stickers

JBS Paper tape

Absolutely lovely Chantalle!

Planning a Halloween Party? Check out Chantalle's Invite!

Chantalle McDaniel has sent us a beautiful Halloween Invitation and tutorial!  It is so very clever, as she creates a pocket to hold her invite and the invite flips over for all the party specifics.

Lets hear from Chantalle as she tells us just how she's made it:

'Too cute to spook’ invite

Halloween is one of my very favourite times of the year. We host an annual costume party at our place and have loads of fun! If you are thinking about making up some invites for your party, the JBS Vintage Halloween collection is perfect!

The pocket was created by printing off some ‘Starry Night’ paper onto plain card stock. It took a bit of time to work out the double sided printing, hehe!  I have tiled the star print at the bottom a bit, so I could have the pattern show when I folded it over.

The children and pumpkin have been fussy for interest. Machine stitch your pocket closed.

The title was half printed directly onto the design and half printed off onto card stock and cut out. This adds great dimension. Machine stitch on for even more definition.

The reverse is a journalling card, increased to a large size. For a seamless look, sample the cream colour of the card and give your background the same colour so you don’t get a white edge. 

The design of this card has been set in a word procession programme (I use InDesign)

For a final flourish, the cute kitty has been given a slick of Glossy Accents to make her pop on the paper.

Thank you Chantalle!  Here are the supplies Chantalle used:

Digital JBS Vintage Halloween Collection

Digital Printer's Block Alphas

JBS Wood Veneer Buttons

JBS Gold Star Rub-Ons

This beauty from Carrie uses the die cut alphabet paper in Family Tree in the middle of the layout as an interesting background.  How beautiful!

Audrey also used a die cut label as her background, but enlarged it to cover most of the 12x12 space. The ledger design makes this element particularly suited to journaling.

Cassie and the Cutting File

We have a new kit on sale this weekend and this kit can be used three ways:  as a brush, cut file, or digital mask.

JBS - Southwest

Cassie Wiscarson used the cutting files (.dxf or .svg) included in the kit to make this sweet layout:

Here's how Cassie used the files.  She took the Diamond Design file, enlarged it to fit a 12x12 sheet of cardstock, cut it out with her digital cutting machine and then traced the images onto her white background.

She then took the Variegated Chevron file and cut it onto a smaller piece of cardstock and sprayed it with ink.  This became her mat for her photo.

Our brush*cut*mask files come with 4 file types so digital scrapbookers and traditional scrapbookers with cutting machines can use them alike.  Thank you Cassie for showing us creative ways to use our new kit!  Grab it this weekend while it's on sale!  

Other supplies used:

Rub-Ons - Pennants - Gold

Rub-Ons - Scattered Stars - Gold

Hybrid Happiness and a Sale

Here's Chantalle:

‘Writer’s Block’

My DS is really into composing his own short stories at the moment. It makes me swell with pride to see him using his imagination to create worlds of his own! JBS ‘The Writer’s Collection' could not have been more perfect for documenting this memory.

I started (as I usually do with hybrid layouts) by setting my idea up on my Mac in a blank document. This one is quite simple in it’s design and was predominantly printed straight onto kraft card stock. I’ve never been a fan of my handwriting, so I type it up when I can. 

I am absolutely smitten with these Pen Nibs! Every element in this little kit is beautiful.

I cut some of the title out on my Silhouette Cameo (after I had already printed the first part of it out) It was quite tricky working out the spacing, but worth the bit of effort. I wanted to play on the word ‘block’, creating a kind of jump in the text, mirroring my son’s frustration with himself when he doesn’t get his words or ideas onto paper, quite perfectly. Hence, the ‘O’ is a bit distressed.

The pocket is a simple folded strip, machine stitched closed. Inside, is a photocopy of one of his stories.

Digital Sale and Inspiration

It’s One Buck Wednesday again over at SnapClickSupplyCo!  We have  two digital kits on sale today, and projects to inspire not only the digital scrapper, but the traditional and hybrid scrapper too!

Parade Day is a gorgeous paper collection designed by Lisa Dickinson and Definition Labels is a popular Jenni Bowlin Studio classic.

Take a look at how Carrie Arick used our Definition Labels (along with Morning Mist) in this digital layout:

See how Carrie changed up the colors of the brushes in our kit?  You can read all about how she did this on her new blog here:  The Digiscrap Geek .

We also have some beautiful hybrid  projects using these kits  First up is a layout from Nirupama.

Niru printed and cut her background pieces and added them with other traditional scrapbooking pieces to a clean white piece of cardstock.   The way Niru layers her pieces and leaves edges of photos and paper unstuck creates such a carefree style.  And what a cool photo!

Next up is a tutorial from Chantalle McDaniel showing us how she used Parade Day and her process for creating a hybrid layout.   

The majority of my layouts involve the use of my computer at one stage or another. Whether it’s planning a photo size, designing a page or printing off digital elements, my Mac is a most valued scrapping partner!

Read on to see how I went about planning and putting this layout together, using Jenni Bowlin Studio  ‘Parade Day’ digital papers and ‘Definition Labels’.

• To begin, I set up a new document in a word processing programme (I use InDesign.) I have an A4 printer, so I have gone for an 8.5x11 layout. 

• Next, I think about what I want my page to look like, so I begin to set up the individual elements.

• I then place the elements onto separate pages so I can print them out individually, starting with the paper (printed onto white card stock at letter size, full bleed.) I then print my photo out onto photo paper. (I find this gives me the freedom to print exactly the size I want and also, save paper as I can adjust where it lies on the sheet.)

• Next I print off my other elements onto white cardstock.

Now I am ready to trim everything up and start putting my page together!

I have copied and pasted the ‘shine’ definition label inside a circular shape. The clear button has been in my stash for years (I have been hoarding it for just such an occasion!) It looks great amongst a mixture of embellies, like the JBS Wood Veneer button and silhouette style ‘Icon’ flatback.

The circles have been machine-stitched on in a zig zag pattern and their edges gently distressed. I have run a line of hand stitching along the paper tape too, for added hold and a bit of interest. (One could add more photos in the area underneath with additional journalling.)
