Patterned Paper Mixing with Becky Novacek

Welcome to two more wonderful examples of mixing classic JBS with newly released product!

Patterned Paper Mixing with Becky Novacek

Hi everyone, Becky Novacek here, sharing my very favorite JBS product... pattern paper. All of them! I love to incorporate a mix of eclectic papers into a design. Using up my skinny leftover scraps is so gratifying! Jumping on the bandwagon of chevron design. I can say that my friend Marcy Penner inspired me to give this a shot. My very favorite JBS pattern paper ever is the pink, blue and red floral on the bottom left of the chevron design. I think it's so awesome that even as time passes, I still adore the early papers! I also included something new on this page...the little JBS red brad with the rhinestone inset. Thanks for letting me share!

From Stephanie:

A Bond Like No Other by Stephanie Howell

Doing a JBS layout with old+new product was a no brainer. I love and hoard all my JBS product, especially anything butterfly related. Here I chose to use old patterned paper and chipboard butterflies, but I updated them by adding the new Doily Flowers and Number Brads. I also used some of the brand new Alpha Stickers for my title, and added some older mini aphas as well.


Since I was using old and new JBS Product, I thought it was fitting to do a "then and now" type layout about my husband and my daughter.


To be fair, JBS products are timeless. I don't think there is anything dated about this layout!


Such a lovely layout and thoughts! Thanks for the inspiration Stephanie

Stamping on Patterned Paper and More

Design team member Stephanie had a wonderful idea to stamp on patterned paper to create this lovely layout:

The Butterfly stamp was stamped with Lemon Drops on the ledger paper from the Black/Red Extension III.  The text in the patterned paper adds a subtle detail to the butterflies.  The butterflies were cut, adhered to the layout, and the wings gently folded out for dimension.

Michelle used the same stamp on vintage sewing patterned paper to create this piece of wall art:

Michelle used Chewing Gum ink on the sewing paper to get a unique see-through appearance.

Next time you take out your Jenni Bowlin Studio acrylic stamps, try stamping on something other than cardstock! You may love the result!

And speaking of stamps!  See our previous post for peeks of Jenni's new cardstock line and new release of acrylic stamps!
