LOVE YOU - Scrapbook Nerd

Hi there!
We are in July already, and like much of the world, we are slowly starting to restart our new normal life here in Toronto, after almost 4  months in quarantine.  Well, that has meant that birthday celebrations have move to a more  virtual way. So, i pulled a few pictures from my little sister (23 rd ) birthday to create this layout for Scrapbook Nerd.

I started with a cut file from Handipaper ( my friend Inna has beautiful cut files in her shop), and used Pink Paislee's Bloom Street to back all the flower spaces.  Once i had it ready, i tied a tag from Heidi Swapp's  Honey and Spice collection at the bottom of the flowers ( this serves as a title).

For the base of the page, i cut a piece of paper from the Magical Forest paper pad ( Crate Paper) to serve as the base of the layout, and glued the cut file to it, then added one small butterfly sticker.  For the other half of the page, i baked the pictures with a paper from Bloom Street and once i glued it to the background, added my journal  below it.

I added a few more stickers to the page, and a second butterfly at the side of the pictures to complete the spread.  Just love how it turned out.

GRATEFUL HEART - Just Nick Studio

Hi there!
Nathalie with you today bringing you a project all about those beautiful Fall colors.   I love the Fall, and all the new designs that Nicole has been adding to the JustNick  store make it so easy to bring our ideas to life.




As soon as i saw the new Geometric Frames 2 cut file, i knew that one of  them will be perfect to create a wreath for one of my pages.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

I used a bit of Vicki Boutin watercolor markers to add a color to the area where the  picture and clusters would be placed.

                                                                     

      

Once i set the frame on top of the watercolor background, i pulled the new  Leaf Cluster 2  and cut a few of the clusters from white cardstock.  Some of the clusters were also backed with papers from Paige Evan's Truly Grateful collection.

 

 


I weaved the clusters of leaves so that  they read as a large cluster on the page. I even added a few extra leaves to bulk the cluster.

                                                                                                              

                                 

I added small embellishments throughout the page so that they pick up the colors of the photo and add small details throughout the page.





 I hope this has inspired  you to check the new cut files available at the JustNick Studio shop.  Remember you can contact me with any questions,

GOLDEN MAGIC - Scrapbook Nerd

hi there!

It is time for some Fall inspiration for Scrapbook Nerd.   I love the Fall, especially its colors, so i chose the new Truly Grateful collection from Pink Paislee to document a fun trip to the pumpkin patch last year.

It all started with two cut files from Handipaper.   I cut them from white cardstock and backed them using papers from the collection, making sure that i added a bit of blue to the pumpkins as that is the color i want to emphasize in this layout.

Since i was short on time, i used a premade mixed media background using VIcki Boutin's paper pad, but added a few extra details using a Carta Bella stencil, art crayons and a stencil brush.

The picture was backed and layered with papers from the collection, and then attached to the background with foam adhesive, nestled between the pumpkin cut outs.   A few clusters of ephemera were added in between the pumpkins.    Then the title was added using a combination of puffy word stickers.

To extend the design, a butterfly was fussy cut from the ephemera pack and glued to the top of the page.  I hand stitched the trail using some white thread.   A few lines of journal complete the page.

I love how this turned out!  Color always does it for me.  The following video will give you a more in depth look at how it came together:

WONDERFUL YOU - Scrapbook Nerd

Hi there!

Today i am up on the Scrapbook Nerd Social Media outlets with this new layout that combines a few paper collections,  cut files and subtle mixed media, in total some of my favorite things. 

I started by adding a bit of gold watercolor to some cut outs -created with cut files from Handipaper-; these were set aside to dry completely.  In the mean while,  i added a bit of texture to the background by running texture stencil on the background.  I chose a stencil that had small and well spaced images.

Since i had chosen a patterned paper from the Saturday Afternoon collection from 1Canoe2 for the background,  i opted for adding paper layers of colors that will complement both the picture and background, so I cut  papers from the Pink Paislee's Indigo & Ivy collection for this.

To assemble the page,  first i used all the patterned paper to back and layer the picture.  The cut file was also attached in between the layers, as well as pieces of cardstock so that they add a bit of separation between the paper layers, thus creating dimension.

All that was left was to embellish the page. To make the picture pop, i added stickers and sequin that match the color of the dress my daughter is wearing.  All the embellishments come from the Indigo & Ivy collection.

Here is the final layout, i love how this came together and how easy it was to create.   Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check for the materials used in the page. If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE - JustNick Studio

Hello everyone!
Nathalie with you today and so excited to continue for another term as part of the JustNick studio DT  and get to work with Nicole's beautiful designs.   I was born and raised in Ecuador, but call Toronto home for over half my life.  My biggest blessing are my husband, two teenagers and our Boston Terrier baby.   My love for paper crafting was grown along with me, and i am so happy i get to share a part of it with you all.  Now, let me show you what i have created for today:

For this page , i chose the Let Your Light Shine and Leafy Florals (soon to be released) to document a recent selfie. 



It all started with a bit of mixed media,   some Vicki Boutin Rose Gold glaze pushed through a Kaisercraft stencil, on  one of the new papers from the Indigo and Ivy collection from Pink Paislee.





While the background dried, i used the soon-to-be-released Leafy Florals cut file to cut a few of the images out of white cardstock.   These would be used as accents and layers behind the picture and paper layers.





For the title of this page, i chose the Let Your Light Shine cut file. This was cut twice from white cardstock, the cut outs were then attached to each other with a bit of foam adhesive in between, then glued to the background.  A few embellishments from the Indigo & Ivy collection were added to the page, as well as a few lines of journal.



I hope this has inspired you to check all the designs at the JustNick studio shop.  There are always new designs being added to the store.   If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me!
