Titles and Embellishment with Jen Chapin

The versatile Title Builder Collection is useful on traditional scrapbooking layouts and pocket pages, and today Jen Chapin is sharing a pocket page that features our Title Builder products all over the page—on both the title and as embellishment! 
 
Hi everyone, it’s Jen here and today I am sharing a pocket page with you using the Title Builder Stamp and extras. This set is great for cards, pocket pages, and scrapbook pages!
 

 
Supplies | August 2017 Kit, Title Builder Stamp, Title Builder Wood Veneer, Title Builder Acrylic, Wood Veneer Pocket Fillers, Tiny Heart Stickers
 
To create this page, I used the stamp set to create my title tag in the middle of the spread, on a 3″ x 4″ multicolored tag from the August 2017 Kit. I stamped “capturing” and “adventure” in black ink, then stamped “this” in blue. I also added a date stamp and a heart sticker to finish it off. The multicolor stripe of the tag at the top and bottom really frames my title, giving it significance on the page!
 

 
I was also able to incorporate the Title Builder Acrylic and Wood Veneer into a couple of my tags on the spread, adding the headers “magic” and “details” on the journaling tags, and the “love,” “documented,” and “the best” words directly to my photos. I balanced out the Title Builder Wood Veneer products on the page with a Wood Veneer Pocket Filler in the top right corner.
 

 
I hope this project gives you a few ideas for using the versatile Title Builder Collection! Whether you use it for building a title or embellishing your photos, this set is perfect for all of your projects. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and have a great weekend!

Back-to-School Stories Documented with Neela Nalam

Have you document your kid’s ‘back-to-school’ stories yet? Or, do you have some of your own to document, maybe with old photos in an album somewhere? Our August 2017 Kit with bright colors and fun graphics can help you get that done, as Neela Nalam is showing us on the blog today with stories from both of her children. Let’s take a look!
 
The August 2017 Kit is so versatile! It has a few underlying themes and comes in fantastic colors. For this project, I used all the tags and add ons that aided in telling our back to school story. The timing was so perfect! I have clicked pictures of my kids on the first day back to school but never really documented them (ahem, for a scrapbooker that is kinda embarassing!) This year, the kit inspired me to document the first day of school and their feelings. I decided to use 6″ x 8″ pocket pages, and the tags and add-on embellishments were so perfect that it made putting this project together so easy!
 

 
Supplies | August 2017 Kit, August Labels, Wood Veneer Clips, Wood Veneer Pocket Fillers, So Awesome Puffy Stickers, Tiny Heart Stickers, Heart Circle Acrylics, Gray Puffy Alphabet Stickers
 
I love making projects and layouts that have stories and facts from both of my boys side-by-side. This is a great way to record how different or alike both of them are at a given point in time. So that’s what I did for this project. I have the story of the first day of school of my older son on the left and the younger one on the right. Both of them felt differently about getting back to school but once they started, they both loved it!
 

 
One of my favorites about the kit and the add ons are the mix of products with different textures. I love the effect of mixing them on the spread. The wood veneer shapes and clips, the acrylic hearts, puffy stickers, and die cuts all work awesomely well together.
 

 
Last but not the least, my absolute favorite from the kits and add ons are the puffy pencil stickers from the So Awesome Puffy Stickers. They are so well designed and so adorable. I love them!
 

 
Grab one of the August 2017 Kits today before they’re gone to record your back to school stories!

Title Builder in Pockets!

We love seeing the Title Builder Stamp put to use on your scrapbooking layouts, but did you know that it was designed to also fit on your 3″ x 4″ pocket page tags? Today on the blog, Nancy Damiano is here to show you how to get the most out of your Title Builder Stamp—in your pocket page layouts! Let’s take a look.
 
Hey everyone, it’s Nancy here with a look at the new Title Builder Stamp and August kit. Let’s take a closer look at how we can get creative with words and 3″ x 4″ journaling tags.
 

 
Supplies | Title Builder Stamp, August 2017 Kit, Puffy Heart Stickers, Puffy Star Stickers, Black Puffy Alphabet Stickers
 
Although the August 2017 Kit definitely has a touch of school theming, I wanted to use these tags for a completely different topic. That’s what I love about the kits, they have just enough theme to get me through the seasonal topics while maintaining enough flexibility to tell another story— one about New York City in this case. The tags are also easy to customize with the Title Builder Stamp!
 

 
On this yellow tag, I used five different words from the Title Builder Stamp. Using coordinating, bold inks ranging from orange to light aqua give this plain tag a punch of color and text. Alternating outlined, larger and smaller words and stacking them unevenly on the card gives the design movement and a touch of whimsy. These words were perfect for telling the story of our day.
 

 
The fill-in “happiness is” tag has the perfect spot for a second, smaller title. The “adventure” text stamped in a bold aqua really dresses up this tag. A die cut and a few Puffy Heart Stickers give it a finishing touch.
 

 
The title card is simple but packs a design punch. By stacking the Black Puffy Alphabet Stickers and the outlined word from the Title Builder Stamp, the title is customized and beautiful. Using orange ink right in the center for the stamped word breaks up all of the black and underlines the smaller NYC title.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you’ve been inspired to make customized 3″ x 4″ cards for your pocket pages using the Title Builder Stamp. It’s perfect for all of your scrapbooking layout titles and pocket page cards!

Embellish in a Circle with Jen Chapin

Sometimes all it takes is one piece of paper to inspire your layout page design, and today on the blog, Jen Chapin is showing us just how perfect that project can turn out, using the August kit and embellishments!
 
Hey everyone! Today on the blog I’m bringing you a fun layout I created with the August kit + extras. This layout was inspired by this piece of circular grid paper I found in my stash, and knew it would pair perfectly with the August kit. I decided to create a frame around the layout with bits and pieces of the kit and some machine stitching.
 

 
Supplies | August 2017 Kit, August Labels, Tiny Heart Stickers, So Awesome Puffy Stickers, Heart Circle Acrylics, Wood Veneer Pocket Fillers, Black Puffy Alphabet Stickers
 
I began by creating my circle. I punched circles from tags in the August 2017 Kit and August Labels, and began arranging them into a circle, adding in die-cuts from the kit. Then, I stitched around the circle several times with my sewing machine and white thread. I added some of the new embellishments, like the Tiny Heart Stickers, Heart Circle Acrylics, and So Awesome Puffy Stickers to my circle. I placed my photos just slightly off-center inside the circle, then added the “happiness is” sentiment below, cut from a 3″ x 4″ tag in the August 2017 Kit. I also used the large wood veneer star from the Wood Veneer Pocket Fillers, and popped it up with a bit of foam adhesive.
 
After adding a date stamp, my layout was complete! This layout looks complicated, but it actually came together super quickly. I hope you’ll try this technique soon, and if you do, be sure to share it to Instagram using the hashtag #EllesStudio! Have a great week!

Creating an Envelope Mini Album with Daniela Dobson!

Today on the blog we have Daniela Dobson sharing an awesome mini album documenting her summer vacation, which uses an office product that all of us have in our homes. Let’s take a look!
 
Welcome to the Elle’s Studio blog post today. It’s Daniela here, highlighting the August 2017 Kit and extras. For my project today I created a mini album made out of a surprising product—white business envelopes!
 

 
Supplies | August 2017 Kit, Yes To This Stamp, So Awesome Puffy Stickers, Heart Circle Acrylic, Tiny Heart Stickers, August Labels, White Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Sequins – Blue Green Mix, Everyday Adventures Stamp, Olivia Number Stamp, Live Laugh Love Word Labels, Live Laugh Love Washi Tape Stickers, Live Laugh Love Bits and Pieces, Live Laugh Love Enamel Dots, Live Laugh Love 12″ x 12″ Paper Collection, Live Laugh Love Large Blank Labels, Live Laugh Love Wood Veneers
 
The envelopes are 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 inches, also called a #10 envelope, and I used only two to create this album. After sealing the envelopes, I cut both ends off (1/4″ from the end) and each is folded at 3 inches from the left, then adhered with the short 3” side to the back of the 6” side. That creates 4 different pockets, two small and two large, to tuck in photos, tags and journaling. Then I took two pieces of white cardstock, sized at 4-1/4″ x 6-1/8″, and adhered one to the front, and one to the back of the envelope stack. On the outside of the cardstock, I adhered patterned paper from the Live Laugh Love collection, creating a cover and back page.
 


 
Multiple 3″ x 4″ tags from the August 2017 Kit fit inside the smaller pockets, and I loved using smaller tags, labels and puffy stickers to create little “tabs” to pull them out easily.


 
I adhered different patterned papers from the Live Laugh Love collection to each section of the album, then topped the page with my photos, journaling tags from the August 2017 Kit and embellishments.
 

 
The large 4″ x 6″ journaling cards from the kit tuck perfectly inside the large envelope openings. I punched each pocket edge with a 1″ inch circle punch, making it easy to pull out the journaling tag inside.
 




 
It’s amazing how much documentation you can fit in this small album and it can be used for any occasion!
 
If you’re inspired to create an envelope mini album, we’d love to see your project! Post your mini to Instagram using the hashtag #EllesStudio for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Elle’s Studio shop in September!

Documenting Birthdays with Live Laugh Love and Alissa Fast

Today Alissa Fast is with us on the blog to illustrate that you don’t have to buy a birthday-themed collection to document those birthday memories! Our everyday Live Laugh Love collection is perfect for getting those special moments in your pocket pages. Let’s take a look at what she created.
 
Hello! It’s Alissa here today, with a new post all about my love of pocket pages! I love pocket pages and paper crafting in pocket pages is so much fun! I think it’s because I treat each pocket like a little page in a mini book. Elle’s Studio products are perfect for pocket pages! Today I’m sharing with you a few of my “go to” ideas when using Elle’s products in my packet pages. I hope you enjoy!
 

 
Supplies | Heart Circle Acrylics, Live Laugh Love Double Sided Journaling Tags, Live Laugh Love Cutouts, Live Laugh Love Large Blank Labels, Live Laugh Love Bits & Pieces, Live Laugh Love Acrylic, Live Laugh Love Washi Tape Stickers, Live Laugh Love 6″ x 6″ Paper Stack, Live Laugh Love Enamel Dots, Letter & Number Stickers – Black, Stanley Alphabet Stamp – Outline, Stanley Alphabet Stamp – Solid, Stanley Number Stamp
 
The Live Laugh Love Collection is perfect for celebrating those little girls in your life! I used a 4″ x 6″ tag from the Double Sided Journaling Tags for my title card and a 3″ x 4″ tag for my journaling. The 3rd “tag”, with the sub title, “Live Laugh Love,” was cut from the package sheet in the Live Laugh Love 6″ x 6″ Paper Stack.
 

 
I used the ampersand from the tag as part of my title and layered the rest up on Live Laugh Love Cutouts and Blank Labels. The acrylic circle with the heart cut out is from the Heart Circle Acrylics. The “6” is stamped with my current favorite set of numbers stamps in the shop, the Stanley Number Stamp.
 

 
Another Heart Circle Acrylic piece from the August extras and the outline and solid Stanley Alphabet Stamp with a piece of washi tape topped the purple Live Laugh Love Large Blank Label. So fun! I love the messy look of the offset color stamping in the solid color.
 

 
I layered up torn pieces of Live Laugh Love Washi Tape Stickers onto a few die cuts from the Live Laugh Love Bits & Pieces with a Live Laugh Love Enamel Dot for a spot of color on this photo.
 

 
Lastly, I adhered the Live Laugh Love Acrylic on the top of the pocket page, to keep the pages laying flat. Just make sure you use a permanent glue or glue dots, so it will stay stuck to the page protector.
 
Now, I challenge you to create a pocket page using the Live Laugh Love Collection, or any of Elle’s great products! You’ll love the results!
 
Have a great day!
