LIFE CURRENTLY - JustNick Studio

Hi there!
Nathalie here with a new project for JustNick Studio.   I don't know about you, but time is flying by and i see how it is making my babies turn into young adults.  With so many changes, it is always good to document the good and bad days, so i chose a few of the store's cut files to create this page.

It all started with a bit of mixed media, black acrylic paint to be more exact on the background of the page.   While that dried, i used the  Floral Swag 2 to cut two large images from white cardstock.





I used papers from the Spoonful of Soul collection from Jillibean soup to back and  layer behind the picture. This was then nestled between the two floral images.



The cut outs mark the location of the photo, so embellishing was easy.   Just a few stickers, and enamel dots were necessary.   







To create the title for this page, i combined the Hashtags 1 cut file with the Here and Now cut file.  I chose cut the word "currently' from white cardstock, and the "life" word from the packaging of this collection  a few times.  These were stacked together, and then glued to the bottom left corner of the picture.

I love how this turned out, and how easy it was to put together using the JustNick studio cut files.  Make sure you check the designs used here, and all the new designs added weekly.  If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Joy to the World

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd's Silhouette Savvy Series  - JOY TO THE WORLD -

Hello Nerds, and friends!

 It is time for a new entry of the Silhouette Savvy Series.   This is  a tutorial, that had been shown before, but since then the Silhouette software has been updated, and the new version does not perform all the commands from the previous version, so I want  to show you an updated version of the same tutorial.   So sit back, and enjoy the following video that will show you how to create the stitching guide followed by the completion of the layout:   

 As you can see in the video, the Silhouette software does not have a perforate edge command anymore, instead you have to tell the machine what to do by choosing the type of line you want it to create on the layout.       I used the cut-line to add the stitching that forms the background/title for this page.   This is a way to shorten the tedious work of poking holes along the entire perimeter of the design. 

 This title took a bit of time to stitch (6 strands of embroidery floss use), but the texture and look it brings is worth the time... Just put on some music or a movie on, and start stitching away.  

   Once all the stitching was completed, I accented all the details with some Shimmer watercolor (Prima Marketing Metallics Palette), and some embellishments from the Illustrated Faith Advent collection.  

 I kept the stitching as the second focal point of the page, and chose a b/w picture so that it pops from the layout,  A few paper layers and embellishments complete this page.  

 I hope you try this new and updated way to create a stitching guide using the Silhouette Cameo.  Remember I am a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.


 See you all soon!
