My Mind’s Eye Kate & Co | Friday Design Team Project

Melodee altered project, Cutting Dies, Design Team, Friday Project, ScrapbookSteals Design Team Comments

Today we are excited to see our Design Team member Staci Jones make an awesome project with My Mind’s Eye’s Kate & Co collection. Staci chose Oxford Lane to work with and I don’t blame her. The colors are perfect for masculine projects, but some of the patterns are feminine. I am in love with this versatile collection!

Do you love today’s steal or what? I am in love with this MME Kate & Co line! The colors are simply gorgeous and rich and amazing! I squealed when I saw that Melodee had sent me Oxford Lane. It is a great collection for a boy or a girl. I love the challenge of making boy stuff so I ventured into making a baby gift for my nephew who is due this fall.

I grabbed a 12×12 chipboard wall hanging square from Hobby Lobby, spray adhesive, regular adhesive, my Silhouette, and the Oxford line and got to work.

I decided to do a big A for the baby’s name and left a nice spot for an adorable (because I know he will be :) ) picture of my nephew. I love this A because it is actually a box.

I used a 3D letter cut file for the Silhouette to create the box. I thought that it would be such a cute idea if the parents wrote little notes/memories of pregnancy and infancy and placed them in the box. This way, they could be easily found and in a safe spot.

The stickers, layered stickers, brads and enamel dots are always just so perfect to add those little extras to any layout or project.

Hey everyone! I am so excited to share my projects with you today! I was lucky enough to have the chance to work with the Graphic 45 ABC Primer Collection. This is a great set of vintage style papers with awesome matching die cut chipboard pieces. The timing of me receiving this product was absolutely perfect – my daughter graduated Playschool this month! A big moment for our little girl!

Creating a layout using these products was SO easy!

I layered a combination of chipboard items and paper elements to create some dimension on my layout.

Chalkboard techniques are a hot crafting trend right now, so I cut some stars out of black cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo and used a white gelly roll pen to add some white stitching around the edges.

A simple title was made by stamping onto one of the lighter pattern cardstock using black ink. I also used my Cameo to make circles of various sizes with a few different papers that I could layer in the background.

I couldn’t stop there, since I still had a TON of goodies left! :) I think this collection would be loved by teachers, so I made a cute little gift for Bria’s Playschool teacher.

I created this super fun pencil gift box using three quarters of a sheet of cardstock, a couple other scraps of paper and a cutting file from the Silhouette store. Using some fluid chalk ink, I added some shading to the edges of my pencil to give it a vintage feel. I also made a cute little matching gift tag to attach to my pencil using one of the die cut cardboard pieces and a couple small pieces of cardstock.

The thing I love the most about designer collections like the ABC Primer collection, is that since everything coordinates so well, it’s almost impossible to make something that doesn’t turn out great!

I hope you liked my projects! Have an amazing day!

Thanks Candace, what awesome projects! Graphic 45′s products have such a great vintage feel, they were perfect for these projects. Make sure to come back on Monday for another Monday Craft madness!

Design Team Member Staci Jones is with us today for her first post. Staci has been in our ScrapbookSteals community since the beginning.  I for one just love seeing her work! Staci is working with Authentique Paper’s Original Collection.  This collection is very versatile and Staci shows you how!

I am so excited to share with you my first Design Team post. Not only do I love Scrapbooksteals, but I just love today’s steal!

I have a little boy who loves football, especially our favorite college team whose colors happen to be blue and white. This poor little boy has been in a poorly decorated bedroom for the last couple of years because I just couldn’t find the right decorations. Then Melodee handed me Authentique’s Original Collection. Immediately, I knew that is was just what my little boy’s room needed.

After a couple hours spent in my craft room with my Silhouette, some ink, cardstock, and Original, my son has a room that is finally decorated to suit his football love.

I used some football images from the Silhouette store cut out on cardstock and adhered to either the 12×12 or 6×6 sheets of original to make some easy framed images and wall hangings.

I love banners and really wanted one with the team name for his wall. Super easy and quick to make.

Because it is a football room, the room wouldn’t be complete without a football and a a flipbook with his football game pictures.

My little boy loves his room, my husband loves the room, I love the room, and I still have plenty of paper left over to do some great football layouts for his scrapbook!

Thanks for joining me today!

Thanks Staci!  I love how you could decorate a room with one kit.  What an awesome job!  Make sure to come back on Monday to see a project using a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Imaginisce i-magicut Ribbon Cutter

kerys , , , , craft, Design Team, Friday Project, ScrapbookSteals Design Team Comments

Winter Design Team member Lisa Spiegel is back with us today for her final, awesome reveal! Lisa got to work with the Imaginisce i-magicut Ribbon Cutter and she shows us just how easy this tool is to use. Super cute projects – you rocked the product again!

• • • • •

Imaginisce i-Magicut Ribbon Cutter is designed to safely cut and seal ribbon so that it doesn’t fray.  It works very simply by flipping the on switch, then placing your ribbon in the cutter.  There is a thin wire that heats to cut and seal your ribbon…simply lay your ribbon in the cutter, lining it up with the markings for a perfect cut.  Here I have laid the ribbon diagonally for a slanted cut.

And here I folded the ribbon in half for a dove tail cut. (I did have to cut through the wire on this ribbon after the ribbon was cut/sealed)

And I created this little friendship corsage for a package top (or even to wear- it has a clip on the back) with these ribbons.

Just cut your ribbons, layering as you go, gluing inbetween layers.  I topped it with a sequin and gem and stapled some more ribbon to hang from the back..easy peasy.
Just to demonstrate the difference between cutting with scissors, I had to try it, and sure enough.. the cut with my scissors is on the left, and the cut with the Imaginisce i-Magicut Ribbon Cutter is on the right.

Big difference, isn’t there?
I was having so much fun cutting ribbons that I then created this little ribbon wand..

and a close up of the perfectly cut ribbon ends…

Simply cut ribbons of varying lengths using your i-Magicut and tie them off in the middle with some twine.  I knotted a button the the bottom of each piece of twine and put a small dowel or skewer through the ribbons, gluing for security.  I added a little mist to my skewer to make it glimmer. :)
Don’t miss out on this great steal..it is such a wonderful little tool, every crafter should have one!
I just want to take a moment to thank Brittany and Kerys and the ladies on the Spring Team with me for a great term!  It’s been so fun working behind the scenes with Scrapbook Steals and hope to again someday!

Thanks for stopping by everyone and be sure to tune in again on Monday for a new Monday Craft Madness!

Studio Calico Classic Calico Volume 3

Winter Design Team member Bev Code is back with us today for her final, awesome reveal! Bev got to work with the Studio Calico Classic Calico Volume 3 Collection and she shows us just how amazingly versatile this collection is. She will wow you with a mini album, a card and a layout too!

• • • • •

Hi! It’s Bev here today. I am thrilled to share what I did with the Studio Calico 6×6 pad of Clasic Calico pappers. Starting with an item I could alter, a Plaid Enterprises Magic Slide Picture Book, I recovered the whole project with the amazing choices of paper that mixed and matched. It was perfect color hues for Ancestry and Old Family Photos.

DIY handmade mini album using SC Classic Calico Vol 3
On the inside flip pages I used some punching, minimal layers, shapes, strips, borders and cute accents finished off pages. On the outside however I used a few more textured and depth accents, and added the titles to front and back. The outer edges of the project needed paint to finish off the edges. Clear SRM stickers are the best ever for any project and so easy to use. This little slide photo album is my ancestry and it shares three generations with grandparents on both my mom and dad’s side of the family. What a treasure and I enjoyed sharing it with you.

My layout started with a Kraft 12×12 base and then I used the 6×6 pad of Studio Calico. It is amazing what you can do with these small pads. They are not just for cards anymore.

I used some stamping in the background. Started with layers of paper, added some punched borders, added strips to the corner, and added BG accents in clusters and added some twine to a button and some brads.
