Lisa Dickinson Creates With Our CHA New Summer Releases

I'm so excited to see the new JBS products already appearing in several online and local scrapbook stores! If I had to pick only one of the new supplies as my favorite, I think it would be these lovely gold doilies:


I loved this doily shape in the Wren collection paper, as a stamp, and now, I love them as these beautiful rub ons!  They truly apply like butter - no tearing or cracking.  I mixed them in with some of the other new releases on this simple page:






The new sequins (that come in four different varieties) and flatbacks mix perfectly with the gold rub ons that I scattered diagonally across my page.  I used one of the new Vintage Flashcards as my title, which comes as part of this set:
 

For an easy photo matte that requires no patterned paper, I simply stamped the Dictionary page repeatedly across the cardstock with red ink and layered my photostrip on top:



 

Be sure and check your local scrapbook store for the new JBS releases! And we'd love to see your projects using them!

One Way to Use Your Embellishments ...

... is to hang them on a string!

That's just what Lisa Dickinson did with her supply of brand new JBS products!  How clever to cut her last name into her last name initial, too!

Thank you Lisa for this great way to use our supplies!

Lisa used these supplies and more for her layout:

Seeing Stars


Lisa Dickinson created a star studded page using her new line Modern Mercantile, new products, and some classic lines.  Lisa describes her process using a background die cut created with a cutting machine and more:
I love the versatility of background die cuts! They can add a subtle touch to the base of your layout, or they can be combined with patterned paper and embellishments to create a design focal point for your page.

I knew the star background from the Holiday Backdrops Kit Cuts would work perfectly with photos of my son's twelfth birthday. I enlarged it to 9.5 x 9.5 and cut it out of white cardstock, backing several of the stars with papers from the new Modern Mercantile line, as well as the bicycle section from the Magpie Mini Paper sheet.
My photos were adhered to the left side of the die cut and I backed the whole thing with the light blue patterned paper from the Modern Mercantile collection. For my title, I used the new Printer's Block Alpha rub-ons applied to one of the larger stars:

A piece of teal twill tape across the center of the die cut adds contract and leads the eye to my journaling tags, which I've slipped behind the die cut to keep the page design clean and uncluttered:

Because the die cut portion of my page has been adhered with foam squares, there is room to easily slide the journaling cards underneath them.

Finally, I added two of the Dominoes Chipboard Pieces to the upper right corner of my die cut. The two "six" pieces were perfect to indicate my son's age:


Happy Scrapping!

Back to School: Math

Though math has never been my strongest subject, I've always has a fascination with numbers. I loved the concrete, definitive answer that results when an equation is solved correctly. Of course, in my case, that was a fairly rare occurrence, but there was no better feeling when it did!

Inspired all things mathematics, I put together the layout below, challenging myself to incorporate the element of numbers as many times as possible.  Though many numerical items appear, I focused on the number "two" for the obvious reason that the subject of the page is me and my husband:
"Two" by Lisa Dickinson
It was fun sorting through my stash to find any supplies that might represent the idea of "two." And when I finished the page, I had incorporated seventeen different numerical elements. (Can you find them all?)

There are so many JBS supplies that work perfectly for this theme! Using the Magpie papers as my base, I added lots of other "twos' in a variety of forms and materials. I even found quotes to add as journaling that incorporate the word two

In addition to the stuff I used on my page, here are some of my other favorite JBS products that feature numbers:



Having math serve as an inspiration source for a scrapbook page might seem a bit odd, but when all the elements of a layout design come together perfectly, it's much like solving an equation. And who isn't inspired by that?

CHA Layouts | Printed Tags

Lisa Dickinson created some wonderful layouts and cards for CHA this summer.  The layout below can be found in our Printing Press also, complete with supply lists and links. 

Printed Tags perforated paper

I was so happy to see more of the JBS Perforated Papers released at CHA! These papers made wonderful additions to a page and can be used as journaling spots, frames, textural embellishments and even backgrounds for layouts.  The Printed Tags have to be my favorite and adorned with some ribbon and Shadow Alpha Stickers, they become quick and easy mattes for photos:

The Grid Stamp created a nice place to showcase some of the Wren papers, as well as the new Plain Chipboard Hexagons (which perfectly fit with the Quilted Stickers!)

Lots of fun new products that are sure to spark your creativity! So keep checking back here for more ideas and inspiration on how to use them all!

CHA Layouts | Perforated Papers

JBS Perforated Papers: Kraft Receipt & Red Label

Hello JBS fans! Today I wanted to share one of the layouts from the CHA booth that uses Jenni's fabulous Perforated Papers. I've mixed in the Kraft Receipt and Red Label with papers from Wren to create a dimensional chevron pattern:

I just love the bit of texture the perforated edges add to a page. And the Red Label paper is perfect for adding journaling details to your layout. I stamped mine with several adjectives to describe my sweet boy!

Keep checking back here all week to see more of the new products and projects from CHA. We've got lots of wonderful new things to share!

More Marvelous Magpie!

Here are a few more projects using Magpie!

A lovely layout from Lisa Dickinson:

Lisa used her JBS Silhouette Whimsy cut to create the negative image here.  Don't you love how the Magpie Quilted Stickers flow down the page?  It's so delicate and pretty and reminds me of confetti!

supplies: 


Betsy also used a bit of technology on her page below.  The JBS Seal images are digital, but you could create a similar effect with the Seal Stamp!


Each Seal center is a space for an embellishment or photo.  The bottom seal houses a ribbon made with the Blue Ribbon Clear Stamp.


Supplies:

Magpie Nest Patterned Paper
Hodge Podge Stickers MemoMagpieSouvenier
Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas
Vintage Trim

Betsy used a digital image to create her basic design, but the Seal Stamp can be used to create a similar effect!

Here are more examples showing how our design team has worked with our new Magpie line.

A beautiful collaged border of hearts is the anchor to this layout by Lisa Dickinson:

Ranjini used the Magpie Quilted Stickers to stand on their own as a vertical border. So classic and beautiful, isn't it?

More Wren Goodness

To say I'm in love with Jenni's new paper line, Wren (releasing later this spring!) would be an understatement. Inspired by architectural blueprints, it features Jenni's signature patterns like vintage labels, book pages and lace mixed with simple, graphic designs like interlocked circles and gingham.



And the color palette is just divine! The saturated blue and red tones, paired with a soft grey and classic ivory, is simply stunning. I've mixed Wren with the new Printed Pockets (perfect for holding a journaled tag) to create this holiday page:
Wishes of Joy by Lisa Dickinson
Wren would be appropriate for so many page themes -  summer, Fourth of July, Back-to-School, heritage. What would you use it for? There are so many possibilities!

Merry Merry!

Happy December! We are celebrating the holiday season here on the Inspiration Blog with lots of ideas for festive cards. Today I've got a simple design you can whip up in less than 10 minutes, which is ideal during this busy time of year.

Merry Card by Lisa Dickinson
Using a base of kraft cardstock, I stamped the word "merry" with the Clear Alphabet Stamps and Fountain Pen ink.  Then I added a punched scalloped border of red cardstock and colored in one of the "merry" words with a red pen.  I fussy cut a section of the Holly Stripe paper to add a festive touch to my card, topping it off with some Pearl & Rhinestones Charms in Garnet tied with baker's twine.


Happy Holidays!
