Good evening. Why is it that my creativity peaks when I should be sleeping? I woke up way too early with a design for a card all laid out it my head. I wasn't going to get up to do it right then, so I quickly drew it out. Crazy, huh?! I knew if I didn't write it down I wouldn't be able to fall asleep because I would be trying to make sure my brain would remember it all on it's own. Good Luck.
Sorry about the glue glare.
Details:
Imagine More-striped background paper cut at 6-inches and trimmed to 4 x 5 1/4
polka dot background paper cut at 6-inches and trimmed
Simply Charmed-pumpkins cut at 2-inches, with layers 1 and 3
RGB Codes from Papertrey Ink for the green and orange on the pumpkins
- A2 size card-Papertrey Ink, Fine Linen Cardstock
- Everyday Character Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps
- Ribbon-Papertrey Ink Fine Linen (Saddle Stitch)
- White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen
I also did some stitching around the mat of the card with my Janome Sew Mini
I hope you enjoyed this card. Hopefully tonight I won't wake up with another crafty vision.
Hello friends. Today I want to share a layout that I made completely with my Imagine. Now, it takes some time and getting used to, but there are tons of possibilities with this machine, especially with future updates. Of course when the Gypsy and Imagine can communicate I'll be a lot happier...A LOT. And if I had my Gypsy I'd also be able to share the sizes of my cuts, but I didn't write them down and I don't have my Gypsy to refer to. Sorry.
Cartridges used:
Imagine More
Simply Charmed
"Stock" Shapes from the Imagine
The top note diecut is a stock shape pre-loaded into the Imagine. The pattern is from the Imagine More cartridge. I used the fit to page function to size and cut the shape. 'Good Times' is also from Imagine More and I cut this out using the layer function. I didn't change any of the colors, I just used what was preset on the cartridge. I wanted to mention that the face of the sun doesn't have an even white edge around it. I don't know if this is a quirk of the image or if the alignment/calibration is off. I didn't have an issue with any of the other cuts, so I dunno.
You can see what I'm referring to in this picture:
The tree and little bird are from Simply Charmed. The color palette I used is the same one from the Imagine More cartridge, so I just chose the colors I wanted to use. I believe the tree was cut at 5-inches and the bird at 1 1/2-inches.
The little journal tag in the left corner is also from the Imagine More cartridge. I picked one of the layers from another image to create a small space to journal. I also used a stock rectangle from the Imagine and filled it with a pattern from the Imagine More cartridge. I believe I print and cut it at 7-inches and then trimmed it down to 4 1/2 x 6 1/4-inches to mat my picture.
The buttons are from StampinUp! and the twine is from Papertrey Ink. I did ink around the edges of several of my images and did some doodling. I think those two things add a lot to any project, but especially those made with the Imagine print feature. The small sentiment below the tree is from Papertrey Ink which I stamped in Tempting Turquoise from StampinUp! The brads are from StampinUp! as well.
This was a pretty simple page, but I think as I get to know the machine better I will be able to expand my horizons. Until then, small steps. Thanks for stopping by!
