Another Digital Cookbook Page

Digital Cookbook PageHere’s another digital cookbook page that I created for our family cookbook before Christmas. I had so much fun creating and designing the different pages.

This page uses some Lap of Luxury DSP and the flowers are from Fabulous Florets. To get the ribbon pieces on the tag the way they are, I used an oval punch, added DSP and then changed it to be filled with the Basic Gray Grosgrain Knot. Then I repositioned the knot so that it only showed the part of the knot that I wanted to use. I duplicated it, flipped it and then moved it to look like both pieces were coming through the eyelet.

I don’t know that I would have thought to use these colors together if it hadn’t been for them all being part of the Lap of Luxury DSP. I love the partial design on the Basic Gray paper, too. It worked out perfect for putting into the bottom corner of the page.

Have you thought about making a family cookbook to keep your favorite recipes in? Have you thought about making each recipe like a scrapbook page? My Digital Studio is a great way to do that.

Need a Masculine Birthday Card Idea?

Maculine Birthday CardAre you in need of a masculine birthday card idea? Use this card as inspiration to get you started.

This card uses the Sweet Details DSP, Textured Cardstock, Create a Cupcake Stamp Brush, and Apothecary Art for the greeting. I used the new Frames Collection Punch for the tag, too. I’m trying to stay away from floral papers and stamps for my masculine designs. And since I have several masculine cards that I need to send out, I figured they would appreciate it, too.

So use this card as inspiration. Either follow the sketch, using the same papers or just use it as a jumping off point to get ideas.

Newspaper Clipping Scrapbook

Newspaper Clippings scrapbook

I’ve been working on a newspaper clipping scrapbook for my church. I started out by using traditional paper and stamps for the pages, but when I got My Digital Studio I decided to start using it to create my pages

When I “went digital” I created the pages from scratch. But the other day, I decided to look through the designer templates that I had in My Digital Studio to see if there was anything that I could convert into a page for newspaper clippings. I found this page from the Timeless Stamp Brush Set that I was able to manipulate a little to fit with my clippings.

The nice thing about a digital newspaper clipping photobook is that you don’t have to worry about the clippings turning brown because they are scanned and added to the page digitally, just like a digital photo. What a great way to do this kind of page!

Have you thought about doing a newspaper clipping photobook? This would be great for newspaper clippings that you collect for your family history, or any other kind of events you keep track of with newspaper clippings. You should give it a try!

Digital Anniversary Card

Digital Anniversary Card

Since my oldest daughter’s anniversary was last week, I created this digital anniversary card for her and her husband.

As I was preparing to work on this card, I started looking through the DSP I have available. When I saw the Love Letter DSP, I knew that was what I wanted to use. Then I started looking through my stamps that would work for an anniversary card. The Happy Anniversary greeting is from A Word for You and Love is from one of the upcoming SAB stamps called Outlined Occasions. I did use the Small Heart Punch to put some color in the hearts of the stamp.

You can get these downloads from my Online Store. And check out the New Downloads that were released today.

Digital Punch Art Birthday Card

Digital Punch Art Birthday Card

Things have been so busy during the last month that I forgot to share this Digital Punch Art Birthday card that I made for one of my grandsons. I saw this punch art card made by Jackie Topa and just had to see if I could do it digitally.

This one definitely took a while to do because of how I had to manipulate the digital punches and stamps to get this image the way that I wanted. But it think it came out really cute. I really love being able to recreate in My Digital Studio punch art that I see online.

Be sure to check back for my NEW Online Digital Punch Art Class. I am working on getting my first one put together. I will be announcing it here when it’s available.

Quilled Ornament Gift for Family Members

Quilled OrnamentI wanted to share this Quilled Ornament that I’d given to my family members for Christmas. I’ve started a new tradition of a new and different ornament each year. They all loved the ornaments and were asking how I got the quilling in the ornament. I did try to explain it to them, but they didn’t understand what I was saying. So I guess one of these days I will have to show them.

I made the box with Whisper White CS and added some pieces of the retired Jolly Holiday DSP to cover the box and make the bow on the band. This was the first ornament and box that I made. After this one, I designed the box in My Digital Studio so that I could get them done quicker since I had several to make and I didn’t have to worry about running out of DSP, either.

To see other quilled items that I’ve made, click HERE. Quilling can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be.
