Terrificly Trendy Triangles

By Aliya White

I’m sorry but I just had to do the alliteration in threes for the title. Clearly, I am a sucker for the puns.

Shapes are not new but using them graphically is hot right now. With tons of new paper, stamps and accessories crafters are able to do so much using this trend. Let me show you some of the cool things I have been seeing focusing on triangles.

I just couldn’t pass up this awesome alligator shaped card because the pun is a classic and I remember reciting this to my dad at night. It is a great kid and nostalgia card. And get the triangles: in the scales and in his actual face! How fun.

I love the look of the different types triangles in this next card too. The background has a cascading print and wood veneer triangles, solid and outlined, make this one a super-happy trifectta.

Another pretty use of triangle wood veneer is this card with the look of mirrored mountain peeks. The dimension on this card is just great.

You can make your own triangles with a die or hand cutting them in patterned paper. The soft colors together with the vellum is just lovely in this layout.

This card takes triangle a step further by cutting triangles out of the middle of each triangle base for a very cool echo look.

Lisa used a die to create this rainbow of triangles with the awesome inspiring sentiment. It comes together so nicely in this encouraging card.

Lisa is also awesome with stencils. These triangles were lifted and cut from the Simon Say Stamp stencil. She colored them to create her pink and black and grey theme.

I fell in love with this card and when I read that Maria created the shape during a creative mistake/opportunity while putting the shape together. She created the triangles by cutting squares in half. The wonderful pun is also aces.

Stamps are another great way to incorporate triangles in your designs. The precision on this awesome graphic black and white card is just fab.

Kara also created this next incredible card with inspiration from a Navajo blanket peaking out from the edge of the card.

Another cool stamping effect is the watercolor look. This was achieved by stamping. It looks like Dana could have used water mist with the ink as well.

Kim was able to achieve dimension with her version of stamped triangles by double stamping and lifting the stamped image with foam tape. The gold is a brilliant extra touch to this fun design.

Are you a project lifer? I must admit I use the pocket cards to actually make cards but when they are used in the sleeves they look great too. I was drawn to what cool look the triangles made collected together on the page. Tracy hand stitched the pockets to create the triangle look.

I hope you were inspired by the cool looks you can achieve by incorporating triangle shapes. Because it is so basic, you don’t necessarily have to have supplies to create you own. But if, like me, you like to shop, I also found some pretty papers, stamps, veneer, and a stencil or two so you can try it out yourself.

So go on… make something pretty.

Featured Artist/Designer: Jennifer Chapin

Today on the Paper Crafter’s Library blog, we’re continuing our weekly featured artist spotlight whereby each week we spotlight a different artist/designer in the paper crafting & mixed media world and introduce you to their fabulous work.

Today we’re thrilled to welcome Jennifer Chapin.

Before we show you Jennifer’s project, let’s get to know her a little bit more…

Hello! My name is Jennifer Chapin and I am really excited to be sharing a few projects with you today. I’m a 30 year old mom, wife and nurse living in Eastern Iowa. My husband Adam and I have two children – Keira (4) and Connor (18 mos). I work full time but after the kids are in bed I love to sit down in my scraproom and create. I have been scrapbooking since 2006 and would describe my style as bright, colorful and layered. I love to use my sewing machine and die cuts on my projects. Currently I am designing for Bella Blvd, Glitz Design, Elle’s Studio, Citrus Twist Kits and Paper Issues. I am so thankful for this hobby and truly cannot imagine my life without it. If I’m not scrapbooking, you will probably find me curled up with a cooking magazine or trying out the latest recipe in my kitchen. Thanks so much to Paper Crafter’s Library for having me!

Today I’m sharing a quick mini book tutorial with you, as well as a 12×12 layout.

Mini Book

For the mini book, I gathered up some patterned paper and Project Life cards, creased them, then used my sewing machine to sew down the fold to bind the book. After that, I embellished with a few fun sequins, more PL cards and wood veneer.

Here’s what some of the inside pages look like.

Here’s a photo tutorial of how I made my mini book as well as some other photos of the pages inside.

Supplies:

Patterned paper: Studio Calico
Project Life cards: Studio Calico
Acetate Letters: Crate Paper
Chipboard, sequins, wood veneer, acetate heart, rub ons: Studio Calico
Washi Tape: Bella Blvd
Other: Watercolors, sewing machine and thread

Love You Always

The layout was really inspired by the die cuts I made with my Silhouette Cameo. I layered them up with some complimentary patterned paper underneath, then added my photo. To embellish I added a few tags, wood veneer and chipboard embellishments. I love using my sewing machine to add great texture to my pages as well.

Here are some close up pictures of my page.

Supplies:

Cardstock: American Crafts
Patterned Paper: Studio Calico
Chipboard, wood veneer, resin bow, kraft elements: Studio Calico
Pink letter stickers: October Afternoon
Black letter stickers: Studio Calico
String: Stampin Up
Other: Silhouette Cameo, sewing machine and thread

We hope you have enjoyed today’s projects courtesy of Jennifer Chapin. Also, be sure to stop by Jennifer’s blog to see even more of her beautiful work (and let her know we sent you). You can also find Jennifer on Pinterest, Instagram, her Studio Calico gallery, or follow her on Twitter @chapinjen.

Featured Company: Graphic 45

We are happy to bring you this week’s Featured Company: Graphic 45. We are so excited to be featuring them regularly on Paper Crafter’s Library! And this week we have a Good Ol’ Sport collection prize package give-away. Details will be at the end of this post.

For those of you unfamiliar with Graphic 45 , we’d like to take a minute to re-introduce them to you.

Graphic 45 is an award-winning scrapbook and paper crafting company— owned and operated by a mother and her two daughters.

Diane Schultz—Designer and CEO (aka mother)

“I’m passionate about being creative and eager to make it possible for others to find their creative voice. My background includes stints as a designer for, McCalls, Simplicity, Vogue/ Butterick, Mattel Toy Company and a host of other jobs that each, in some way, led me to what I do now. At 45 I went back to school and got my degree in graphic design— I named the company to celebrate that achievement.”

Aimee Filimoehala —Director of Operations

“I wear a lot of hats and love it that way. Business, marketing, operations, etc. have made me a pro at multitasking (aka juggling‑figuratively and literally). When we launched Graphic 45 just three years ago we had no idea what was in store, working together as a family has been an amazing journey that we all feel so grateful to be apart of.”

Charee Filimoehala —Director of Customer Service and Design Team Coordinator

“I joined the team a little over three years ago and haven’t looked back…what a life-changing experience this has been. I love working with and around creative people and products (not to mention I like my co-workers quite a bit). I spend my days working with our friendly stores and talented design team…the occasional trip to a workshop or tradeshow pretty nice too.”

Together we create vintage inspired crafting products that capture the flamboyant style of the 1920’s and 30’s – with vibrant color, irresistible texture and imaginative design to create products with decades-old appeal that’s both fresh and familiar. Let our products inspire your next scrapbook layout, card, album or home decor project.

Graphic 45 Designer Annette Green

Our Graphic 45 Guest Designer for this week is Annette Green who is part of the 2013 Graphic 45 Design Team. You can see Annette’s fabulous project below, but first, here is a little more about Annette:

In my professional past, I worked as a graphic designer in the advertising world and was an all-around crafter on the side; cross-stitching, quilting, painting, beading. Once my daughter was born (16 years ago) as many of us moms do, I naturally became an avid scrapbooker and papercrafter. I discovered Graphic 45 a handful of years ago when shopping in my local scrapbook store. The beautiful vintage imagery caught my eye right away. I remember in particular seeing those flying pigs from Olde Curiosity Shoppe and knew that I was going to love everything Graphic 45 produced. And I still do! For the past 8 years, I’ve worked from home full time as a designer, teacher and artist hosting workshops and classes. I’m a certified Ranger educator and an active blogger with how-to videos on my YouTube channel. My husband, teenage daughter, our Sheltie “Suki” and I live in sunny Melbourne, Florida near Cocoa Beach. Hubby shoots off rockets from the Kennedy Space Center, daughter is an uber-talented artist, and Suki is our little love. Life is good.

Altered Tissue Box

Graphic 45’s Sweet Sentiments collection is perfect for Spring projects. One of my favorite things to do with Graphic 45 papers is to alter objects. Clocks, shelves, boxes, you name it. Function is always important, so I chose a tissue box cover to alter this season. This will look so pretty sitting on my bedside table. I enjoyed making it and hope you’ll give it a try too.

1. Start with an unfinished wood tissue box cover. Sand lightly if needed.

2. Cut 4 strips of the purple with white polka-dot side of “Perfect Petals” paper. For my box, these measure 5 inches long and ¾ inches high. Then cut four strips from blue striped side of “All My Love” paper. Mine were cut 5 inches long and 1 inch high, then I used a border punch. Adhere these together and put aside. (all papers have been dabbed with cream colored acrylic paint for a shabby look.)

3. Cover box sides and tops with paper. For my box, I cut two pieces of “Perfect Petals” at 5 x 6 inches and two pieces of “Heart Song” (using the pink pattern on the back side) cut at the same measure. The top piece is 5 x 5 inches, cut from “Violet Bouquet.” To line the oval opening of the box, I cut two ¼ inch pieces (one at 8 inches long and another 1 ½ inches to patch the rest.) Adhere the four border strips along the bottom of each panel.

4. Add lace and rosette ribbon along bottom and top, wrapping all the way around the box. For the oval opening, you’ll need to clip the curves slightly to help it follow the shape.

5. Next you’ll create a photo frame for the front of the tissue box. From the “Sweet Sentiments” paper, cut away the frame. I use a craft knife on a mat with a ruler, then fussy cut with my knife in the corners.

6. Cut the left and right sides first. The scraps can be put aside for another project.

7. Cut the tops and bottoms off the pieces from Step 6. Put aside scraps.

8. Put your four pieces back together and tape securely from the back side using clear tape.

9. To create the photo frame, cut any plain chipboard into pieces as indicated in photo. (I used silver in this photo for demonstration purposes.)

10. (The pieces in this photo are white, but they are the same pieces from Step 9) Adhere the two largest pieces together to create thickness. Then adhere two of the long strips together, the other two together and the short two together. Adhere these to your largest piece on three sides, leaving the top open for a photo to slide into. Cut a piece of clear acetate the same size as your large piece and adhere to frame as shown.

11. Apply double-sided sticky tape to all four sides of the back side of your paper frame and adhere to chipboard unit.

12. Before adhering your chipboard frame to the front of the tissue box, cut a few strips of paper at ¼ inches and adhere to three outer edges of your frame (leave the top open) to finish it off. Add a pretty bow to the top and a metal key to the bottom.

13. Use dies and punches to cut leaves and flowers as desired and adhere to the top of your box. I use colored card stock and pattern paper for a mixture of colors and textures.

14. Adhere two Shabby Chic door pulls, one to each side of the box. These are decorative, but serve as a lifting point when changing out the tissue box that fits inside. Add more flowers and leaves to the front of the box.

15. For your photo frame you’ll create a slide-in piece with a photo. Cut any cardstock, then select any photo. Adhere as shown, leaving more space at the top to grab ahold of.

16. Slide your photo unit into your frame. When you want to change out the photo, simply use tweezers to lift it out. I added a chipboard tag to my frame as a final embellishment.

Supplies

Graphic 45 8 x 8 Sweet Sentiments paper collection
Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments chipboard tag
Graphic 45 Staples Shabby Chic Door Pulls (2)
Graphic 45 Staples Shabby Chic small key
Basswood Box “Boutique Tissue Box” by Walnut Hollow

Trendy Tuesday – On an Angle

On an Angle

by Katherine Elliot

Many trends are not just fun doo-dads or new products we find to buy and add to our projects. Trends often come straight from the wonderful imagination and creative abilities found in the wide world of paper crafting. Searching card sketches and scrapbook layouts are great places to find such creative trends. Today our focus is all about the design, and a simple one, setting your design on an angle. Take a look at today’s featured projects that wonderfully avoid keeping all things straight…

Card by Lindsay Amrhein, image source Note to Self

White space makes a big impact on many of the angled projects featured today. Clean and modern, white space frames colorful, graphic designs set on the diagonal on very attractive CAS cards.

A bold, straightened sentiment can also be accentuated when set on top some colorful lines that are artfully askew.

Stencil designs used with a diagonal layout have been very popular in recent on line challenges and classes, too.

Your favorite image or any graphic stamps repeatedly inked or colored in a beautiful palette are great building blocks for an angled layout.

Simply taking a layer and setting it at an unexpected angle adds more interest to your layout, too. A clever, intentionally crooked card looks artful and casual at the same time.

Of course, there are always a few things we can find to buy to help us create some of the latest trendy designs. Diagonal stripe stencils, dies and cover plates provide you with tools to perfect that angled background.

Scrapbook layouts cannot be ignored in this easy going design trend. Capture eye catching movement on a page with a slanted design then add a few trendy embellishments, like arrows, flair, washi tape and ink splatters and your trendy page is complete.

Take one of the main elements on your project, set it at an angle and it seems to come right into focus. Framed sentiments demonstrated on these next cards are terrifically slanted. These next projects also feature some of our recent favorite trends, shiny metallic gold, fun sequins and ink splatter. Check ’em out…

Isn’t it wonderful when something doesn’t have to be perfectly centered and straight to look amazing? Popular sketches and layouts seem to start a trend of their own and it’s been fun finding some terrifically angled designs to share with you. Go ahead, avoid the straight and narrow today. Happy crafting, everyone!

Featured Artist/Designer: Jennifer Rzasa

I especially love making cards- it’s such a wonderful feeling to create something in just a small amount of time that can make both yourself and someone else extremely happy! If you’d like to come visit me you can stop by my blog, Our Change of Art, or check out some of my videos on YouTube.

Thank You Card

I let some pretty patterned paper be the “star,” allowing that gorgeous color to show through a negative die cut.

I topped it all of with a sentiment from one of my favorite stamp sets….I just love the hand-written feel!

Today I’ll be sharing a video of how my card came together.

Supplies:

Cardstock (Solar White) Neenah
Patterned Carstock (from 5th and Frolic) Dear Lizzy
Stamp (sentiment from Oh Happy Day) Avery Elle

Always looking for fresh inspiration, Jill turns stamped images into true works of art. As her “Inspired By” blog followers know, Jill has a beautiful style and an unparalleled love of paper crafting. She also designs for Penny Black stamps and loves to share her passion for paper, color and stamping through video and photo tutorials.

Double Scoop of Inspiration

Hi, my crafty friends! Jill here with a double scoop of inspiration. These artsy tags allowed me to play and with my favorite thing… COLOR!

This is a look at each background before I added my embellishments.

I first painted both tags with Gesso. For the yellow tag, I colored directly onto the tag using the Double Scoop Gelatos® in the colors of Lemon and Butterscotch. I then blended the colors using my fingertips. For the multi-colored tag, I colored with my Double Scoop Gelatos® (Lemon, Snow Cone, Blueberry, Red Cherry, Mango) onto a large acrylic block, spritzed with water, and then pressed my tag onto the acrylic block. I applied several layers to deepen the colors, drying the tag with my heat tool between each layer.

To finish coloring/stamping the remaining embellishments, I mixed and matched with other Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® mediums including the Nougat Stamper’s Big Brush Pen and Gelatos (Blood Orange, Aqua Dolce).

Hugs and Happy Stamping!

(All stamps by Penny Black, dies by Penny Black and Spellbinders, ribbon by May Arts and Ribbons Unlimited)

Trendy Tuesday – Lifted and Layered

Lifted and Layered

By Aliya White

I am still not sure what to call this trend but once you see some examples you will recognize what I am talking about. I settled on lift and layer because what I see is designers creating projects that use foam or thick glue dots to create dimensions to highlight paper or sentiments in the background. The final look is super cool and adds that little something to the design.

This first card highlights a sentiment. Amber used a flower stamp to lay slightly over the lip of the circle she created.

Card by Amber Kemp-Gerstel photo courtesy of Damask Love

I love how the stamped background paper peaks out of the side of the card and behind the awesome die cut with the word in the middle. Plus the triangles and the epoxy dots makes this card ever so trendy.

Card by Jodi Collins photo courtesy of Stamping a Latte

This next card uses the positive image of the die cut and and layers it over and over to create an awesome rainbow effect.

Card by Amy Yingling photo courtesy of Inspiration Ave

But don’t forget about the negative because as Kathy shows in the card below that can be awesome too. Some added border die cuts and this one is a win. I love the shadow that is added by lifting the negative off the card.

Card by Kathy Racosin photo courtesy of The Daily Marker

This technique can work well with a scrapbook page as well. Geralyn used a Silhouette file she created. She created a lovely color gradient behind her words.

Layout by Geralyn photo courtesy of In a Creative Bubble

I just love the look of watercolor from the gelatos used under the birthday die cut. Plus the vellum die cut balloon and Vanessa has hit a lot of my favorite trendy buttons to make this lovely below.

Card by Vanessa Menhorn photo courtesy of Wings of a Butterfly

You can also use scraps behind your lifted die cut negative. The scrap ribbon behind the heart is super cute and is just perfect with the embossed wood grain pattern on the craft paper.

Card by Kristina Werner photo courtesy of KWerner Design blog

The die cut half off the card is just striking and it makes this card a stunner. Do you see how the epoxy is peeking outside of square. Loving it!

card by Cristina Kowalczyk photo courtesy of My Paper Secret

How cool are these triangles? The hollowed out triangles in the middle of the triangle paper is not only clever but striking. The dimension just added that little something.

Card by Diana Fisher photo courtesy of Lily Bee Design

I was completely fixated on how to make glittery washi tape after I saw this next card. How fun to pair it with two different quote bubbles for this sweet card.

card by Martha Inchley photo courtesy of Inch of Creativity

If you don’t have die cuts, you can make your own shape and still take advantage of this technique. I just love how this curvy rainbow almost looks like a smile wishing the receiver a happy birthday.
