Scrapbooking With Sandylion Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:29:12 +0000

Sandylion stickers have been around for as long as I can remember. I loved them as a kid and in fact, I had sticker albums full of them. And since I started scrapbooking, I just can’t get enough of them. There are just so many gorgeous designs to choose from and they always give my scrapbook layouts that extra special touch.

This week I created a brand new layout with one of their most adorable stickers – their Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

Materials Used: Patchwork CranApple Red Burlap paper, Sandylion Burlap paper, Paper Garden Speckle Plaid – Periwinkle paper, Colorbok Sue’s Blue Plaid paper, blue cardstock, cream cardstock, blue ink, red ink, a blue pen, blue alphabet stickers and Sandylion Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

This layout was fairly quick and easy to make. It’s charm lies in the combination of rich colours and the cute accents provided by my Sandylion stickers.

If you would like to try re-creating this layout, there are a couple of techniques you might like to include:

1. I matted my stickers on cream cardstock. These particular Sandylion stickers have a clear background. By sticking them on cream cardstock and then cutting them out, I gave them a thin cream border. This helps them stand out from my page and adds a sense of warmth that really captures your attention and draws you in.

2. If you look at the large squares that form most of the background, you will notice that they have white edges. To create this effect, I ran the edge of my scissors along each side. This strips some of the colour off your paper and gives it a white edge. It’s a great way to quickly add texture and interest to your scrapbooking layouts.

3. When I placed the piece of blue and white plaid paper on my page, I felt it looked a bit flat. It was missing something. I didn’t really want to mat it, but I wanted to make it look more interesting. So, I inked the edges with blue ink to give and used a blue pen to draw in a border. This helps it stand out from my page and focus attention on the area where the photos are to go.

I hope you’ll give try these techniques on your own scrapbooking layouts. I use them all the time – especially matting my stickers. I always find that matting stickers makes them that little bit extra special. It draws attention to them and helps you set the scene for your all-important photos.

Scrapbooking With Sticko Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:45:59 +0000

Sticko stickers are great for scrapbooking. They are so easy to use, they always look fabulous and there are always so many styles and themes to choose from. So this week, I chose one of my favourite butterfly designs and created a brand new scrapbooking layout.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Sticko Stickers

Materials Used: White Bazzil cardstock, pink cardstock, blue Bazzil cardstock, Kaisercraft scrapbooking papers, Doodlebug alphabet stickers and Sticko Colourful Butterflies stickers.

This layout was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright cheerful colours and the streamlined arrangement of the different elements on the page.

If you would like to give it a go, it is very quick and easy to recreate. All you need are a few pieces of co-ordinating papers and cardstock in the colours and patterns that match your photos and your favourite Sticko stickers.

When embellishing your page, don’t forget to use some of your stickers to dress up your title. It’s a great way to give your layout a personal touch and a unique look. On my scrapbooking layout, I have dressed up the letters of my title with a butterfly sticker and a small heart sticker. I have also drawn attention to them by placing flower stickers around my title. It gives my page that extra special touch.

You might also like to consider matting some of your stickers with cardstock. It gives them a little more dimension and helps them stand out from your page.

I hope you like my new creation using butterfly Sticko stickers.

Showcasing Your Photos With Scrapbooking Ideas

Jennifer Gormly — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:49:57 +0000

Sometimes your photos are so engaging in themselves that you do not want to place anything on your page to distract the viewer from their beauty. When in this situation, you just need a splash of colour, simple patterns and simple embellishments to truly showcase your photos. Scrapbooking ideas like this one use simplicity to draw your attention to the photos and colour to compliment their beauty.

The key is to choose scrapbooking papers that are not too busy and do not feature too many colours. Also, in this layout, the floral paper is complimented with a plain paper in the same hue.

Click Here To View Our Scrapbooking Papers

Materials Used: Papers from the Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper collection, Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper, orange cardstock, green alphabet rub-ons, brown pen and miscellaneous butterfly stickers.

To recreate this layout, follow these instructions:

1. Set aside your orange cardstock for your background.

2. Cut four strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper measuring 5cm by 25.3cm. Adhere one strip vertically in the bottom left corner of your page and another vertically in the top right corner of your page.

3. Turn your remaining two strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper over so you can no longer see the blossoms design. Adhere one horizontally in the top left corner of your page and the other horizontally in the bottom right corner of your page.

4. Arrange your photos to form a square in the middle of your page. I have used a 6×8 photo for the large photo and cropped two 4×6 photos to create my square.

5. Cut out a large blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms scrapbooking paper and adhere on top of join between all three of your photos.

6. Cut a strip of Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper measuring 1cm by 25.3cm. Turn it over so you can only see the green side (you could use green cardstock for this instead). Adhere across the top left of your page, as shown in the layout above.

7. Cut out a medium size blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper and adhere in the top left corner of your page, on top of your green strip.

8. Finish off your page with a title in the bottom right corner. To create my title, I have used green alphabet rub-ons and a brown pen, but you could use any combination of alphabet stamps, stickers, rub-ons or pen work.

9. Finally, add a butterfly sticker or something similar to finish off your title.

Zoo Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Tue, 31 May 2011 05:39:20 +0000

Zoo stickers are perfect for embellishing photos taken at the zoo or a wildlife park but to make your scrapbooking page successful, other elements come into play. Your choice of colours is perhaps one of your most important decisions when creating your scrapbooking layout - one that could make or break your designs.

Click Here To View Our Zoo Stickers

This quick double-page layout shows you not only how to incorporate adorable zoo stickers into your scrapbooking designs but also how to combine colour and texture with a balanced geometric design to create an eye-pleasing page.

Materials Used: Four shades of Bazzil cardstock, tan cardstock and Doodlebug Zoofari stickers.

The first step to creating this layout is effectively selecting colours that match. I began with a base colour of light brown, a colour I thought was quite appropriate for a zoo layout. I then matched three other shades of complimentary browns (two Bazzil and one normal) to it and for contrast, I selected a green Bazzill cardstock.

As I am not using a lot of overwhelming patterns on this page, I have opted to mainly use Bazzill cardstock to give my scrapbooking page texture and dimension. It allows me to keep my design simple, but not boring.

Constructing this layout is very simple. All you need to do is matt four horizontal photos and place them on your background cardstocks, as shown in the scrapbooking layout above. Then cut four strips of green cardstock and position them in the corners of your page, again, as shown above.

Finally, decorate your layout with Doodlebug Zoofari stickers or any other zoo stickers you like.

If you wish, you can also add a small square on the right-hand page (see layout above). This could be used either for a smaller photo or journaling.

And that’s it! Another great layout in less than half an hour!

New Disney Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Sun, 15 May 2011 13:26:31 +0000

Disney stickers make the perfect embellishments for all sorts of scrapbooking layouts and our new range is no different. They feature all your favourite characters like Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Finding Nemo, Cars, Tinkerbell and more.

Personally, I love combining my Disney stickers with photos I have taken at Disneyland or Disney World, but there are so many more things you can do with them. Here are just some of the fabulous ideas I found while looking around EK Success’s official website.

Artist: Kara Ward

This layout uses EK Success’s 3D Tinkerbell Poses stickers to embellish a beautiful photo of a young girl dressed as Tinkerbell. While this photo was taken at Disneyland, the layout could easily be adapted to suit any photos of your kids dressed as their favourite characters. I particularly love how the Tinkerbell stickers have been layered over the swirls and flowers.

Artist: Dana DeCarlo

This layout uses Glitter Disney Princesses stickers and shows how you can use stickers of your favourite Disney Princesses to embellish photos of your own little princesses. Also, placing each sticker inside a circle adds a bit of style to your page while still focusing attention on your photos.

Artist: Karen Bulmahn

Disney stickers can also be used to showcase your child’s favourite characters or stars, as in this layout featuring Disney’s Camp Rock and EK Success’s 3D Camp Rock stickers.

These are just three of many different ideas for incorporating Disney stickers into your scrapbooking layouts and projects. Choose your favourites and have some fun.

Materials Used: Brown cardstock, Bo Bunny Olivia Honeydew paper, Bo Bunny Olivia Mums paper (the underside), light brown cardstock, light brown ink, brown ink, a brown pen, a small heart punch and House Mouse Leaves and Berries Mice stickers.

To recreate this adorable card making idea using House Mouse stickers, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of brown cardstock measuring 15cm by 22cm. Fold in half to create a card. Place in front of you with the fold along the top.

2. Cut a piece of Bo Bunny Olivia Honeydew paper measuring 13.7cm by 10.3cm. Ink the edges with light brown ink. When dry, glue in the centre of your card.

3. Cut a piece from the underside of Bo Bunny Olivia Mums paper measuring 10cm by 8.8cm. Ink the edges with light brown ink. Ink again with brown ink (make sure it is a much darker shade than the first ink). When dry, use a brown pen to draw a dashed border around your piece.

Finally, make two small tears (one on the left side, one on the right) and fold down the flaps, as shown above. Then glue in the centre of your card.

4. Stick your chosen House Mouse sticker on light brown cardstock. Cut out around the edges of the sticker. The sticker itself as a clear background, so you have now given it a light brown background. Glue in the centre of your card.

5. To finish off, use your small heart punch to punch four hearts from the underside of your Bo Bunny Olivia Honeydew paper. If you wish, use your brown pen to draw an outline around the edge of each heart (this just helps them stand out a little more). Glue two on the left side of your card and two on the right side, as shown in the card making idea above.

And you’ve finished your super cute House Mouse card!

Train Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 03:44:16 +0000

I’ve always had a fascination with trains and train stickers. I’m not sure why. Perhaps because my Dad has always been interested in trains and when I was little, he let me play with his train set (which now, unfortunately, lives in the top of a cupboard). So when I saw our new 3D train stickers from EK Success’s Jolee’s range, I just knew I had to find a way to use them.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Jolee’s Stickers

These photos were taken during our visit to McComick Railroad Park in Arizona. Aren’t the train stickers just perfect for them? I love the way they just pop out of the page.

Materials Used: Dark brown cardstock, background paper from Scrapbooking Memories magazine, KI Sand Linen paper, Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper, American Traditions gold paper, Sassafras Lass Striped paper, brown ink and EK Success 3D Trains stickers.

To recreate this scrapbooking idea using train stickers, follow these steps:

1. Cut two pieces of dark brown cardstock each measuring 21.6cm by 28cm. These will be your backgrounds for your two scrapbooking pages.

2. Cut two pieces of background paper each measuring 20.8cm by 27.3cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue one in the centre of one page and the other in the centre of the other page.

3. Cut two pieces of Sassafras Lass Striped paper each measuring 20.8cm by 1.4cm. Glue one across on page approximately 9.3cm from the bottom edge. Repeat for the other page.

Now focus on the left page:

4. Cut a piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 7.3cm by 7.1cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 2.2cm from the left edge and 4.1cm from the bottom edge.

5. Cut a second piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 4cm by 10.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1.4cm from the right edge and 6.2cm from the top edge.

6. Cut a piece of Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper measuring 3cm by 5.1cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 1.2cm from the left edge and 11.2cm from the bottom edge.

7. Glue a horizontal 4×6 photo towards the bottom of your page so it is approximately 3.9cm from the left edge and 5cm from the bottom edge. Make sure you can cover a significant amount of the top quarter of your photo as this is where your train stickers will go.

8. Glue a second horizontal 4×6 photo towards the top of your page. It should be approximately 3cm from the left edge and sit on top of your first photo.

9. Place three of your 3D train stickers (including the engine) across the top of your first photo, as shown above. You have now finished the left page of this double-page layout.

Now focus on the right page:

10. Cut a piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 11cm by 2.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1cm from the right edge and 6.3cm from the bottom edge.

11. Cut a second piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 7.5cm by 11cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 2.9cm from the left edge and 4.4cm from the top edge.

12. Cut a piece of Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper measuring 10.1cm by 10cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1.3cm from the right edge and 3.2cm from the top edge.

13. Cut a piece of American Traditions gold paper measuring 2cm by 4.6cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 0.9cm from the right edge and 11.2cm from the bottom edge.

14. Crop a vertical 4×6 photo down to approximately 9.2cm by 9cm. Glue to your page approximately 1.2cm from the left edge and 4cm from the bottom edge.

15. Glue a horizontal 4×6 photo above your first photo. It should be approximately 2.4cm from the right edge and sit on top of your first photo.

16. Crop a third photo down to approximately 10.3cm by 7.2cm. Glue to your page approximately 1.4cm from the right edge and 7cm from the bottom edge. It will overlap your other two photos.

17. Finally, place your remaining two 3D train stickers across the top of your first photo, as shown above. Make sure you line it up with the other train stickers on your first page.

Now you have a fabulous two-page layout featuring EK Success’s 3D Train stickers!

Puffy Sticko Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:30:30 +0000

Sticko stickers remain a favourite amongst scrapbookers all over the world, and their new line of puffy stickers is no different. Their miniature designs make them so cute and their puffy nature really make them pop and give dimension to your scrapbooking pages and cards.

There’s lots of different designs to choose from to give your pages that special touch and there are so many different ways to scrap with them.

One page I absolutely love, is this layout that I found on Sticko’s official website:

Artist: Nicole Ratzlaff

This layout uses Puffy Fish stickers to create a unique border down the ride side of the page. The artist has used a simple strip of green cardstock as the base for her border, punched holes in it to create a bubble effect and strategically placed fish stickers all the way down for a completely unique look.

She’s also very cleverly incorporated several fish stickers into her title, again creating a one-of-a-kind embellishment for her page.

Of course, you don’t have to use only fish stickers to re-create this effect. Any small stickers will do. Just choose the theme you want to work with and have some fun.

Mickey Mouse Stickers

I always love it when we have new Sandylion stickers because it means I get to do one of my favourite things – creating Disney scrapbooking layouts. They are a great excuse for playing with bright colours and fun stickers. In this layout, I have used our brand new Mickey Mouse stickers to embellish my Disney World photos.

Materials Used: Black cardstock, Sandylion Mickey Poses paper, Junkitz Basics Circle Black paper, Beary Patch Sunbeary Dot paper, red cardstock, black ink, a white pen, Disneyland Alphabet stickers and Sandylion Mickey Mouse Foam stickers.

1. Cut a piece of black cardstock measuring 21.6cm by 28cm. This will be your background.

2. Use a white pen to draw a border around the edges of your black cardstock. I have used a combination of dots and dashes, but you can draw whatever type of border you wish.

3. Cut a piece of Sandylion Mickey Poses paper measuring 16cm by 22.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with black ink. When dry, glue to the left side of your page approximately 0.8cm from the left edge and 2.7cm from the top edge.

4. Cut a piece of Junkitz Basics Circle Black paper measuring 5.8cm by 24.4cm. Lightly ink the edges with black ink. When dry, glue down the left side of your page approximately 3.2cm from the left edge and 1.7cm from the top edge.

5. Cut a piece of Beary Patch Sunbeary Dot paper measuring 10cm by 9cm. Lightly ink the edges with black ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 0.8cm from the right edge and 8.3cm from the top edge.

6. Mat a horizontal 4×6 photo with red cardstock and glue to your page approximately 1.5cm from the right edge and 3.3cm from the bottom edge.

7. Crop a vertical 4×6 photo so it is approximately 9cm by 12.5cm. Mat with red cardstock and again with black cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 1.6cm from the left edge and 3.5cm from the top edge.

8. Select three foam stickers (I have used Mickey Mouse, Pluto and red Mickey ears) and position around your page, as shown above.

9. Finish off your page by using alphabet stickers of your choice to write your title in the remaining space on your yellow paper.

You now have a cheerful Disney scrapbooking page using Mickey Mouse stickers that can’t help but make you smile.
