Product Spotlight & Freebie Friday: Basic Grey Kissing Booth Collection….Enter to Win!

Posted byAndrea Walford 389 Comments on Product Spotlight & Freebie Friday: Basic Grey Kissing Booth Collection….Enter to Win!

Basic Grey has been one of my long-time favorite companies – I just love the way they add a distressed look to many of their products. So of course, when I saw their Kissing Booth line, I fell in love!  This week we’re giving away a 6″ x 6″ paper pad that has 2 sheets each of 18 different patterns of paper – the pads are single sided, so there are 36 sheets in all.  We also have a 6″ x 12″ sheet of cardstock stickers, a package of dimensional stickers, and a package that is chock full of cardstock and acetate elements. 

For today’s Freebie Friday video tutorial, Tracy has created a super simple, but pretty card using one of the dimensional stickers as her focal point. 

You can watch Tracy’s video below:

This next project shown I would have to say is probably one of my favorite albums that I have every created – I just LOVE how it turned out.  It has a beautiful vintage feel with some office elements – both of which are popular trends right now. You may recognize many of the products used in the creation of this album as it was based on the Basic Grey Kissing Booth Collection – the paper, the cardstock stickers, and the cardstock/acetate elements.  The tags are #8 manilla tags from Tim Holtz, and the metal embellishments (the 5 on the front and the charms that spell “family”) are from Tim Holtz’s Ideology line. The flowers, ribbons and trinkets come from Prima, Maya Road and Bazzill. The album itself was bound using my Zutter Bind-It-All.  Really, it’s a little album that’s chock full of paper crafting goodness.

And Then There Were Five Mini Scrapbook Album by Andrea Walford

For our Paper Crafter’s Library members I filmed quite an intensive video that really walks you through my design process – essentially taking you “into my head” on how I design and teaching  you tips and tricks to help you in your own designs.  I’ve got some more close-up shots below.  Here’s a closer view of the cover:

One of the things not shown in these pictures is the journalling for each.  On the underside of the preceding page (the back of each tag), I painted with acrylic paint brush-strokes, and then journalled using a calligraphy pen dipped in black india ink.

  345. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!
    I like many others like many different brand name products. One of which is this collection. it is so refreshing and wonderful of you to provide blog candy using different manufacture’s so that the winners have a chance to “try” before they buy.
    Loved your projects using this collection.

  346. I SO love this album. I have a really difficult time making things that could lay around collecting dust, but with the Basic Grey line, a person could easily adjust your idea into a scrapbook layout…or many for that matter!! Great idea as usual, Andrea!

  347. The album is really cute and a real keepsake. Share one with Grandma too. I like giving little albums to family and friends.
    A friend lost her photos in a fire and as a housewarming gift when she moved into the rebuilt house her friends and family did a photo album for her from all the photos she had shared with us. My sister in law lost her professional photo album from Olin Mills to thieves who broke in to steal her new color TV.All she had now are little wallets that we made a photo album of her girls. So Share, share and share.

  348. Hi
    Coming from Western Australia I guess we can’t enter the draw but I still want to say how much I love the site and your mini album was gorgeous and the card, you make it look so simple and looks amazing. We are retirees and have been away and couldn’t wait to get back to go onto your site. Thanks so much for for all the great tips you give us.

  349. I’ve just started making cards for Valentine’s Day this year, and I’ve been eyeballing that paper pad but money has unfortunately been too tight to purchase it.

    Anyways, I LOVE those little keepsake books. I’d love to venture into those one day, if I had time to get out more.

  350. WOW! Two for one…how lucky we are! The card is a quick (and very beautiful) little work of art. Thanks Tracy, you do such a nice job of making an easy-to-follow video presentation. And the little mini album…just gorgeous! I have one I want to make for my best friend and it has given me many great ideas. Thank you so much for all your wonderful tutorials and info on becoming better “artists”.

  351. Andrea, Your children are adorable! What a great way to share their sweet faces.

Thanks for the chance.
