Today’s episode goes out to the Paperclipping Members. If you like cute embellishments but don’t like how expensive they are, especially if you already have too much scrapbooking stuff to justify buying more, this episode is for you.

Last week’s episode was free, so if you missed it, here’s a link to the tutorial on mini-books. It was originally released to Paperclipping Members and we’ve pulled it from the archives to re-release it as a free episode. With a membership you can get access to almost 120 videos in the Paperclipping archives, plus see the exclusive tutorials as they come out. See how it works by clicking here.

New Prima Items Part 2 @ CHA Summer 2009

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009


Because Prima introduced so much fabulous stuff we had to divide their tour into two videos! In this one you’ll see their pearl and crystal products. Sharon shows how their blingie flourishes are designed to be easy to remove from the backing and placed onto your project. You’ll also see lots of intricate “centers” that you can add to their center-less flowers as well as Prima mini-pebbles.

New Floral Pieces from Prima Introduced @ CHA Summer 2009

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009


Sharon gives a tour of just some of Prima’s many new products this season. We had to separate this tour into two parts and we didn’t even cover everything. In this video you see some of the flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies, vines, branches, sprigs, holiday items, and individual acrylic stamps with crystal bling included for only 95 cents.

This is another Paperclipping Flexible Template. These templates should give you a good kick-start on a layout without being too explicit as to where exactly to put what, or how many and what size your photos should be.

My Flexible Templates = Creativity + Flexibility + Easy Start

Below are the layouts I featured in this episode…

Scrabble

Scrabble
Journaling reads: This is the perfect game for you, my gifted, “Word Dude.” This summer I taught you how to play and I had a great time battling you with words.
Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill) * patterned paper (Creative Memories: this is OLD paper that I toned down with a washed layer of white paint; the smaller pieces in the embellishments might be Paper Trunk???) * ribbon (K.I. Memories made the large piece, the others are unknown) * metal frame * circular tag (Stampin’- Up) * letter stickers.

Tea Time

Tea Time
Journaling reads: Grandma Gertrude got you started on a tea pot collection by giving you two of her own pots. You love to use them to make everyone some tea. They’re cute and you’re giving.
Supplies: patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye) * journal strip (Creative Cafe) * angel wings + glimmer mist (Tattered Angels) * button * brad from unknown source).

First Phone Call

First Phone Call
Journaling reads: Kindergarten–your first social phone call. Was it Aubrey? I can’t remember but I do remember how cute you were, how much you enjoyed a phone call. I also remember how you wrote her number down…all jumbled up, because at this age, you don’t comprehend top-to-bottom, right-to-left order.
Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill) * patterned paper (Basic Grey) * ribbon, button, letter stickers.

The Hyman’s Love Biscuits

The Hyman's Love Bisquits
Journaling reads: Love them with jelly, honey, gravy. Love them fat. Trin and Aiden love to punch them out. We make them a lot. Yummy.
Supplies: cardstock (Core’dinations–notice the light sanding in the right corners revealed a lighter inner core color) * patterned paper (7 Gypsies–this is their new Victoria line, which I LOVE!) * tags (Stampin’ Up) * Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) * large brad (Bazzill) * rhinestone (Creative Imaginations) * crochetted lace.

selections
I used Tattered Angel’s Glimmer Mists on the tags (left), which used to be cream, and on the angel wings. On the tags I sprayed Tiger Lilly and Garden Fairy. For the wings I used Pearl, then dipped the edges in Robin’s Egg Blue and Patina. I also added a tiny bit of Stickles in Platinum.
