die-cuts by the sheet

2 Many manufacturers produce 6”x12” and 12”x12”
sheets of both punch-out and self-adhesive die-
cuts, all of them loaded with a host of shapes and designs.
Although they are terrific as is, here are some simple
techniques to dress them up and add a personalized touch.
• Highlight the curves and contours of an image with

hand stitching
• For added interest, accent images with self-adhesive
rhinestones, pearls, brads or buttons
• Create a 3D effect by simply adhering die-cuts to a
layout or card using dimensional adhesive such as
foam dots
• Layer multiple die-cuts to tell a story just like I did on
my “Dear Santa” card
texturize die-cut chipboard

3 Summer added texture to her kitchen chipboard shapes by lightly
misting them with water, placing them in an embossing folder, and
running the wet pieces through a die-cut machine (such as a Cuttlebug).
Once dry, she then painted the pieces to match her layout.
To enhance the raised embossing, Summer chose a darker shade of

red ink and ran the pad over the top of each piece to highlight the
bubble dots. This same technique works great with paper die-cuts by
simply skipping the water misting step.
SCT • the 3T’s
a baker’s dozen
4 Have you ever bought a set of
multiple die-cuts because you really
loved one image, only to find yourself wondering
how you would use the rest of the package?
Try Kimber’s approach and use an entire set on
one layout. With a package of pre-printed tags,
Kimber created an eye-catching background
image. By adding simple touches, like twine and
scalloped edges, she unified the die-cuts and
produced an “easy to scraplift” page.
Look closely at the poinsettia and cup of

cocoa. For added dimension, Kimber
trimmed out these shapes from duplicate
tags and attached them to the matching
tag with foam dots. Her journaling tag
stands out, too, with the help of a dark
green cardstock mat.

5 Like most of us, you probably have a stash of leftover die-cuts
from a variety of manufacturers. Mix an assortment of shapes
from your surplus, as I have done for this frame, to create a one-of-a-kind
project. I accented the chipboard bells with glitter glue and machine-
stitched a frame around a piece of die-cut notebook paper.
Summer did not remove the release paper on the back of the
self-adhesive chipboard bells, so they could hang freely from the
center of the flower.

I have to admit that I am a girl who loves anything that sparkles. The glitter

How Do I? When Would I? Why Should I? BY K AT H Y T H O M P SO N L A F F O L E Y
Capture the magic of the season in your photos, both outside
and indoors, with these great tips from our shutterbug friend, Kathy.
A
s a child, I remember sitting spellbound
the fi rst time I saw The Nutcracker, right
before Christmas. The whole production
was beautiful, but the sparkling white winter
scene was by far my favourite. Fast forward
(quite) a few years later and I was once again
transported to that beautiful winter wonderland
as I watched my own daughter perform in the
same ballet.
Capturing Outdoor White

As much as we often love to hate winter, a crisp,
bright, sparkly winter day is hard to beat! That is,
until you try to take photos and capture all of
that pure whiteness. Why is it that when your eye
sees clean and sparkly and white, your camera
captures dull and grey? That’s because your
camera is just trying to help you out!

and Rockwell; ADHESIVE, 3M
Cameras are simply computers, doing their very best to capture the
“average.” Your camera takes a reading of the average light in a scene,
and when that scene consists of a lot of very white and highly
reflective snow, it assumes there is a lot more light than there actually
is, so it tries to average things out for you. The result is often dingy,
underexposed pictures.

that’s okay. Most point-and-shoot cameras actually have a ‘snow’ or a
‘beach’ setting that will help to counteract some of the extra reflection. If Set your camera to manual

Capturing Indoor Lights

Holidays aren’t your only opportunity to capture sparkly As the winter season is fast approaching, be ready to wake
lights; this technique works beautifully with a birthday up to freshly fallen snow any day now. Head outside with

S
now in Kentucky is a pretty rare event, so a significant snowfall is always a cause
for celebration, especially if it cancels school for the day! Snow days are fi lled with
by K E L LY G O R E E sledding, snowball fights and snow angels. And such a rare occurrence has to
be documented, right? The beautiful aqua, cherry red, and dark chocolate colours of
BasicGrey’s Jovial line ended up being the perfect paper choice for my three layouts.

For my easy layout, I maintained simple, linear lines so the focus would be on the fun,
bright photos of my boys. To further emphasize the photos, I matted them with bright
red paper and placed them within the visual triangle created between the lower left
snowflake, the upper snowflake and the die-cut book label. I added a few punched
shapes and brads for added interest and to reinforce the theme of the page.

the 3T’s • SCT
For my detailed layout, I wanted to add

more texture and dimension. I began by
embossing my title block, then layered
die-cut elements in the title with pop
dots and chipboard shapes, like the “o”
in snow and the snowflake die-cuts in
“men.” I highlighted the polka dot paper
with a few well-placed glazed brads to
accent it. Notice how I also created a
focal photo in this version by enlarging
the middle photo, but equalized the
emphasis on all three shots by matting
them with the same bright red paper.

For my expert layout, I really kicked

it up in the details. I rearranged the
photos, enlarging one of them for
a more energetic look. I curved the
edge of the white paper to rest my title
on, replacing the “O” with a chipboard
snowman. Snowflakes on circles crown
the top of the two square photos, and
smaller punched snowflakes scatter
about the page. Pen details, glitter
glaze and jute suspended between
two brads wrap up my page with just
the right finishing touches to complete
this fun, wintery layout.

With the help of a mask and dye mist,
Amy created an oversized heart on her
background patterned paper. It serves as
a great foundation for her photos and
colourful embellishments, including two
chipboard frames that she wrapped in floss.
This layout sure made us happy!

activities that she and her family enjoyed.

Contrasting black and white photos with cool, wintery
hues is a dynamic combination and one that really
caught our eye on this layout. Jody lightened the
mood of her page with some playful embellishments
intertwined with her title, one that says it all about
her pretty , little girl.

In a heartfelt message about generosity,

Lisa captures the kindness of her
two young children during the holiday
season. Strip journaling tells the story
and die-cut hearts, folded and sewn
down the center, emphasize the
charitable theme of her beautiful page.

Playing off the title of a novelty holiday
song from the 40’s, Lisa created a
fresh and fun block-style layout about her
daughter’s missing two front teeth. This
particular year, Sophie left cookies and milk
for the Tooth Fairy rather than Santa!

In her endeavors to capture the perfect

holiday photo, Grace was left with quite a
few silly, fun photos. She printed them in
film-strip style, where the row of photos
naturally leads the eye to her three
favourite shots. One black and white photo
nicely contrasts against the rich, holiday
colours of her page.
