Hello my crafty friends, and welcome back to the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo blog. I hope your summer is off to a great start. It’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy a little creative therapy!
Pocket Pages with Studio Calico
Since summer is here and I know you will be taking lots of great pics, I thought you might enjoy a little pocket page inspiration. I love this clean and simple layout; it has all the components of a perfect scrapbook layout with multiple photos, lots of journaling, and even a little hand stitching. Hand stitching is a great way to add a personal touch to your layout. Quick, easy, and adorable, what’s not to love?
I hope you’ve been inspired to get some of those priceless photos off your phone and into a scrapbook. Pocket pages are a quick and easy way to record life’s special memories. If you are a long time, traditional scrapper, not to worry, just because it is a pocket page, that doesn’t mean you can’t use all of your treasured tools and supplies. Traditional scrapbooking and pocket pages can coexist together very well. I like to call it going hybrid, and remember that creating your own pocket cards is a lot of fun.
Colorful Glitter Paste & Stencils by Kristina Werner
I was truly inspired by Kristina’s YouTube video on using Gitter Paste so I thought I’d pass it on. I feel a bit silly because I was so excited to share the inspiration that I didn’t realize until I added the photo that one of the cards was a Valentine’s Day card, oops. But being the creative person that you are I know you’ll figure out how to change the sentiment! 🙂 This post is all about the gorgeous Glitter Paste and some creative ways to use it on a project.
Talk about a stunning card! I’d like to send out a virtual hug to Kristina for being such a constant inspiration to her fellow scrappers. I barely finished this post and I was reaching for my Glitter Paste.
Friendship Card By Sandee Shanabrough
I love this card that Sandee designed with Our Daily Bread’s new Stamp/Die Duo set called Friend to Friend! This beautiful set features two dragonflies with dies to match and several sentiments that are perfect for sharing how much your friends mean to you. The patterned paper is from the Christian Faith Paper Collection.
