Why Didn't I think of That? | 6x6 Pattern Paper Pads

Hello, again! Melissa here again with you today with another installment of "Why Didn't I think of That"!

This is a quick tutorial using the 6x6 paper pads to create a quilted triangle pattern on the background of your card stock. You will need card stock, several 6x6 sheets of pattern paper, embellishments, picture(s), watercolors, and a die cutting machine.

1.) Gather your supplies.

2.) Cut the 6x6 pattern paper into various lengths and widths. The smaller patterns on the 6x6 sheets of paper work well for this "quilted" look. Make a pencil mark on the halfway point on side of the paper and then use your trimmer to cut from each opposite corner to the pencil mark.

 

4.) Lay the pattern paper triangles down and fit them against each other on your card stock.

5.)  Stitch all the triangles down with your sewing machine. (If you do not have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch or you can just glue them down and use a pen to make the stitch marks.)

6.) Place your title in the upper left hand corner of your layout. I also used corresponding water colors to jazz up my title that I had cut out in white card stock. 

7.) Cluster embellishments in the corners of your triangles.

And here is what the layout looks like in full with a couple of detail shots below it :-)

SUPPLIES USED: Lily Bee Sweet Shoppe 6x6 Paper Pad, My Mind's Eye Enamel Dots, Jenni Bowlin Flair Badges, Lily Bee Sweet Shoppe Labels, Lily Bee Sweet Shoppe Chipboard.

Product Showcase | Jenni Bowlin Rub-on's

Good  Morning!

Melissa here again with you today and I'm sharing a layout and a card I made using the new Jenni Bowlin gold Rub-on's that are now available in the shop!

I love these rub-on's! Gold is being seen everywhere these days: scrapbooking products, clothing, accessories...and I LOVE it! I used to only be a silver girl, but gold has taken my heart the past few months :-) Secondly, these rub-on's go on so very smoothly! I had no problems at all transferring them to my card stock. 

SUPPLIES: White Card Stock, Kraft Card Stock, Bella Boulevard Pattern Paper, Jenni Bowlin Rub-on's, May Arts Ribbon, My Mind's Eye Enamel Dots.

The gold was just the perfect touch for this tribute layout. I used a bunch of neutral colors for this layout since the topic of it is not one that is bubbly or cheerful. But the gold rub-on's were just the thing to give it a little pop in a classy way.

How are you using your gold in your scrapbooking? We'd love to see!

Thanks for stopping by today!
