Paper to Stroke

Festive and Frost

21/12/07

Oh, oh, oh!

I've heard of people who start making their Christmas cards in January and I think in 2008 I may become one of them. Having just made a batch of cards in a race against the last posting deadline, I can really see the appeal of just pottering on with Christmas throughout the year. And with these gorgeous Christmas ranges from My Mind's Eye I can be confident that (a) they won't date and (b) I won't run out of inspiration.

Then of course, there's the event itself to scrapbook. This year I'll be taking more photos than ever, including trying out the macro function to try and capture some of the food, and the rapid fire option to capture some of those great moments.

Amazing quality double sided 12x12 cardstock for just 75p per sheet. Scrap with it, make cards with it, heck, paper your walls with it, it’s that good!

Shrink Plastic - for your printer!

01/01/08

Yes, that's right. This is sheets of shrink plastic material, designed to put through an inkjet printer. I've been using it with Artylicious CDs and the Cricut Expression to make the most fantastic jewellery.

Print your design first and leave to dry thoroughly. Feed it through the Cricut Expression using the multi cut feature if it won't cut right through first time. Just think of the possibilities - monogrammed earrings, easy christmas ornaments, stunning embellishments.

If you don't have a Cricut, you can also use your die cutters - Sizzix, Cuttlebug, QuicKutz, etc or you can even use old fashioned scissors!

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN A LASER PRINTER. Laser printers fuse toner to the paper with heat, and the shrink reacts to heat so you could cause a seriously poorly printer!

Peacock Summer Party CD-ROM

06/08/08

Lynn said it best when she described the Artylicious CD-ROM range - "it's just like having a paper shop at your fingertips" - and that's exactly what the Artylicious range provides.

Inspired by the glorious plumage of peacocks, the Peacock Summer Party CD-ROM has a timeless elegance with designs that go far beyond the obvious peacock imagery and into beautiful abstract designs. There are 5 colour sections with 32 different designs, plus a neutrals section with 16 designs. Each design is then available in a choice of 16 different layouts over the two CDs, giving 2836 printable pages on two CD-ROMs. The colour sections are: bright, funky, muted, pastel, rich and neutral. There is a large choice of layout and insert sizes, as well as tags and tag overlays, plus a section of toppers. 50p from every sale goes to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy research.
