Roly Poly Layout by Samantha Mann

Roly Poly Kitties

Today we are sharing another sweet kitty themed scrapbook page by Samantha!

She created this fun layout by using our Bookmark Die Set along with our Birthday Woofs Paper Pad to cut out a series of fun patterned bookmark shapes. She used the same Bookmark Die Set to cut out two images of her adorable kitties too! Then she arranged all the bookmarks in rows, cutting them to different lengths to add interest to her layout. She added an assortment of fun scrapbooking embellishments and layered a bunch of paw prints over the top using our Pawprints Stencil! So cute! 

Here are a few more close up photos so you can see all the amazing details:

 

 

 

If you like to scrapbook, we hope this layout has inspired you to use patterened papers and die sets to create fun layouts!

Belly Rubs Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Belly Rubs!

Today we sharing a creative sunny scrapbook page by Samantha using some of our brand new products.

For this page layout she used a photo of her sweet kittens and then created sun rays around the left side of the photo using yellow and orange patterned papers from our new Springtime Paper Pad. Behind the phot on the right side she added some blue sky using paint and then little textured paw prints over the top using our new Petite Paw Prints Stencil. She also cut out some clouds using the cloud patterned paper from the Springtime Paper Pad with the cloud die from our Sky Scene Builders Die Set. The little gray heart pattern is from our Love & Meows Paper Pad and gives this layout just a little pop of neutral color to match those gray kitties. Then she added the "belly rubs" title with some 3D letters. How adorable! 

Here are some close ups so you can see the gorgeous textures:

If you like to scrapbook, we hope that you are inspired to try our stencils stamps and die cuts on your pages!

Cat-itude Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Cat-itude!

Today we sharing another gorgeous scrapbook page by Samantha with a fun kitty theme! For this page layout she used white gesso on the whole background of the page. Over that she stamped the phrases from the Cat-itude Stamp Set in various forms of blue in Distress Oxide inks. Then she simply added water with a paint brush over the phrases and they turned to gorgeous watercolor pools. Once this was dry, she stamped the phrases again to make them crisper.

She also added some texture with white texture paste and the Hardwood Stencil. She also added a cute little tag behind the image of her kitty using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. 

Here is a close up so you can see the gorgeous textures:

Cat in Box Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Cats & Boxes!

Today we sharing an amazing scrapbook page by Samantha that any cat owner will appreciate! For this gorgeous page, she used our Meow Stencil along the edges of the layout and on the right side where she planned to add the photo, with white texture paste. Once the paste was dry she added watercolors in pinks, reds, oranges and yellows on top. This frames the photo and the page perfectly and is such a beautiful effect! She also added the images of the kitty in a box, just like the kitty in the photo, from our Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set and from our Newton's Antics Stamp Set. Adorable!

Here is a close up so you can see the texture:

Shark Week - Day 2 - Samantha & Danielle

Welcome to Shark Week - Day 2!

We are featuring our new Shark Bites stamp set all week on the NND blog, with two new fun projects each day! Today we have sharky inspiration from Samantha and Danielle!  

First up is this fun Pool Shark Scrapbook page by Samantha:

I love how she used several of the shark images from the new Shark Bites stamp set to create a fun pool-themed scrapbook layout! The addition of the cool blue paint splotches and splatters really make it feel so fun and watery! I love the little "You're JAW-some" on the photo too - such a fun page! 

Next up is this fun card by Danielle:

Danielle created this super fun shark card with the Shark Bites stamp set ! I love the fun wave paper with the circle cut outs she created with the sharky images and sentiments inside them! What a fun way to incorporate all the fun bold images! 

Here's a look again at our new Shark Bites stamp set:

Don't forget - this set is on special all week for just $11.99  Next week it will be back to the regular price of $14.99 so you'll definitely want to pop over to our shop and grab it while it's on sale!

Wild About You Scrapbook Page by Samantha Mann

"Wild about You" Page Layout!

Do you use your stamps in Scrapbooking?  They can really add a bit of fun customization to any scrapbook page! Samantha Mann always has great ideas on how to do just that! Today she created this fun scrapbook page using the Wild Child stamp set.  I love how she used the little leaves to create a fun background with some ink splatter in the upper right corner. Then in the lower left corner she created a grass border and added in the fun giraffe couple.  I'm guessing that Joshua is a bit taller than Samantha and that's why she titled it "joshua giraffe." Ooh.. I just noticed that in their photo you can see a little giraffe couple behind them that's posed in a similar position to the giraffe stamp she used! So cute!

Doxie Christmas Scrapbook Page by Danielle Pandeline

Have a Doxie Xmas!

He he he - this Doxie Scrapbook page by Danielle is SO cute!!  Of, course, being a doxie owner herself she had to get a photo of her cute put in there! She used our new dachshund image from our Holiday Hounds stamp set to create the little gold embossed Doxie - it's a bit hard to see in the photo but it's right underneath the blue letters - so fun! she also used the little bone and snowflake images to create a fun background and if you look close you can see the "have a doxie christmas" sentiment in the lower right corner too!

Here's a video Danielle created to show you how she did her project:

Samantha used several of our favorite stamp sets on this layout - kitties from Newton's Antics and Newton's Holiday Mischief and the cute little heart thought bubble from Just Say Cheese!  Isn't it cute how she has the kitties hanging out all over her page? I love the fun bright colors too!

Do you do prefer scrapbooking? cardmaking? or  both?

I admit, I'm a cardmaker more than a scrapper! I would love to do more scrapbooking because I LOVE how it looks but honestly, the addition of photos into my projects seems to make it more complicated and therefore I don't usually take the time to do scrapbooking! I do enjoy doing it though and have best intentions to do more... we will see... LOL!
