Spring

Hi, everyone! Katie here to show you how I made this simple interactive element in my garden planner.

(Oscraps, Scrapgirls, Etsy)

The first thing I did was assemble my page, including adhering the photo that will be hidden beneath the card. I included a front and back to the card, but you could easily make it a single layer.

I stitched the front and back of the card together.

I positioned the card on the page so it covered the photo and then I stitched the card to the page along one edge.

And that’s it! Such a simple and fun way to add a little something extra to your hybrid projects.

A huge collab, four times a year, one colour scheme… That is generally the idea of the Coordinated Collections formula at Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

Today is reveal day for the Coordinated Collection for Spring 2016, ‘Rainbow Bright’! All the packs are on sale for just $1, for two weeks. Bundles are for sale for the price of the number of packs, so a bundle with 6 packs (like mine) is just $6 (unbelievable, isn’t it?). You really have to go check it out, the contributions of the Studio Designers are seriously amazing. I already have a few things on my wishlist!

I’m joining the party for the first time since I came to The Studio. ‘Rainbow Bright’ didn’t seem like a fitting title for my packs, because I focused on the ‘Spring’ theme, therefore I have named my packs ‘Spring Fever’.

Let me show you what I have created:

Remember, you can grab all these packs at just $1 each, for two weeks! And the Spring Fever Collection is available for just $6.

Layout inspiration

You will surely be inspired by the amazing pages from my wonderful creative team :

Ange has combined the Spring Fever Collection with one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and I absolutely love the effect of the blended papers! Ange has used a few extras from my My One True Love Collection (the butterfly and some paint).

Another gorgeous page by Ange, using only the Spring Fever Collection.

 

A gorgeous white space layout from Guest Creative Team member Barbara. I love the strip of patterned paper on top and the cute cluster in the bottom right corner. Barbara has combined the Spring Fever Collection with a few bits and pieces from my Castles & Princesses Collection.

 

A gorgeous page by the lovely Em! Em has also used my Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and some goodies from my Fly Me To The Moon Collection. I especially love how well the silver leaf from Fly Me To The Moon works with the rest of the page and the stitched rectangle behind the picture adds an interesting detail, without being too prominently present.

 

Creative Team member Erin created this splash of spring fever by using one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and combining it with the Spring Fever Collection. I love all the blending and there is so much to look at. That picture is amazing too and it is perfect for this page.

 

A beautiful ‘out of the box thinking’ composition by Creative Team member Eszter! So much to look at in this page, she has also used a vintage bird ephemera from the Easter Morning Elements.

 

Jen Maddocks is a fellow designer at The Studio and she is a dear friend to me. I have been a member of her Creative Team for years and when she has a moment to spare, she makes an amazing page with my stuff. I totally love this very creative page of her using my Spring Fever Collection. I especially love the effect on the word ‘Rainbow’ and the rainbow picture in her page is truly mesmerizing. I also love how she has created a ‘flower border’ at the bottom of the page. I think she has used all of five Spring Fever Transfers here.

 

A gorgeous page from Creative Team member Judith. She has used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and a flower and a brad from my Castles & Princesses Kit. I love the watercolour effect she has created on her pictures!

 

Sometimes my Creative Team members are spoiling me with more than one page LOL, like Judith (and Ange, at the top of this post). This wonderful page by Judith uses the Spring Fever Collection with one of the Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and a button from Wonderland. Again, what a lovely effect on her picture. It works so well with the papers that she has chosen.

 

Ona has recently retired and she told me that she loves working in the garden. I’m not sure if this is her house or garden, but I would LOVE to have this kind of front garden. I love the pops of red and orange in this layout! Next to the Spring Fever Collection she has also used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol. 02, a leaf from My One True Love and a flower from my Among The Shadows kit.

 

And here’s a page from me, using the Spring Fever Fantasy Papers, Spring Fever Solid Papers, Spring Fever Transfers, Spring Fever Splatters and Spring Fever Word Art. I also used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.01 (twisted and altered):

 

Remember, these packs will be available for just $1 each, at Digital Scrapbooking Studio only, for two weeks. By the end of April they will go back to their normal prices and I will add them to my other shops.

Next to my contribution to the Studios Rainbow Bright Coordinated Collection, I also have two new packs, that are available in all my shops. Read all about it in this post.

Can you remember what it was like, as a child, to wake up on Easter morning and find the chocolate eggs that the Easter bunny left in and around the house? Then put your Sunday best on and celebrate with the family? I thought it was magical and I’ve tried to capture that feeling in my new release, ‘Easter Morning’.

Celebrate the Easter season and relive the joy of Easter morning, put your Sunday best and hop on down the bunny trail… Document your most beautiful Easter memories and create egg-straordinarily awesome layouts with this sweet and inviting vintage style digital scrapbooking collection.

‘Easter Morning’ has a gorgeous colour scheme, a beautiful set of papers and a wonderful mix of elements: vintage ephemera, paint, transfers, stitches, scribbles, flowers and spring branches, labels and tickets, buttons and brads…

Today is Saint-Patrick’s Day; we do not celebrate it in Belgium, but to all the Irish out there: Happy Saint-Patrick’s Day!

I didn’t really know what Saint-Patrick’s day was all about, so I did a little research for my new collection, ‘A Stroke Of Luck’. This collection was designed to help you record your most beautiful Saint-Patrick’s Day memories. But it will also help you focus on your own luck and on realizing how lucky and blessed you really are if you come to think of it. And next to that, this collection would be perfect for your spring and summer layouts.

‘A Stroke of Luck’ is filled with beautiful greens and a touch of pink. The mix of vintage style patterns with celtic motifs and fresh plaids, and art journal style papers will appeal to both traditional and artsy scrappers. With lots of lucky clover, fresh spring flowers, vintage ephemera and plenty of artsy elements and things, this collection will be one to use over and over again.

‘A Stroke Of Luck’ Collection consists of 6 packs and you can grab them all in this discounted bundle - definitely your best deal:
