{Remember Today} Watercolor Background | JustNick Studio Design Team

Hello crafty friends!

Last week, I shared a new layout on the JustNick Studio blog showcasing a watercolor background underneath one of her awesome cut files.

Take a look:

 

I love the look of the watercolors swirled together underneath the Heart Background 5 cut file, mixed with the patterned paper-backed hearts and the Scribble Hearts cut files. They create lots of dimension!

Watercolor or mixed media backgrounds do tend to warp the paper unless you prep with Gesso, but I also share a trick that will help with flattening the paper if you don't have Gesso or don't want to use it.  So head over to the JustNick Studio blog to read about it and see close-ups.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Sunshine on my Mind - JustNick Studio Design Team {Combining Cut Files}

Hello everyone!

I hope you are having a great weekend.  Today I'm sharing a project on the JustNick blog where I show how I combined two different cut files on this layout using Simple Stories Sunshine & Blue Skies.  Take a look!

 

The word "Sunshine" comes from one cut file and the frame with sunrays is a different cut file. Head over to the JustNick Studio blog for details and close ups!

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a super August!

Selfie Captured | JustNick Studios Design Team (Using a cut file as a stencil tutorial)

Hello friends!  So glad you stopped by today.  Yesterday, Nicole announced the new term's design team for JustNick Studios, and I'm super excited to share I'm starting my second term!  Squee!

Our first layout of the term is "About Me", so I chose to do a colorful layout by creating a stencil from a cut file to create my background.  I'd love for you to hop over to the JustNick blog to see how! 

This wasn't hard, but the results sure are beautiful!  The Horizon collection by Paige Taylor Evans for Pink Paislee is just lovely.

Thanks so much for visiting today - I'd love for you join me on Instagram for more fun and inspiration, too. 

Have a crafty week!

Happy Beautiful Smile | JustNick Studios Design Team & Process Video

It was a labor of love, y'all.  I figured out (clumsily) how to create and edit my process video using only my iPhone and iMovie.  It wasn't fast or easy, but I did it!  And I'm proud to share it here - I'd LOVE for you to subscribe to my channel, too.  :)  Let me know what you think in the comments!

I shared this layout on the JustNick Studios blog on Wednesday and had hoped to have the video done, but....life!  But do check the blog post for tips and close ups.

Here is the full layout using two JustNick cut files and Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness.  The colors are so happy and the Blossom cut files are gorgeous!

Thanks so much for visiting today.  Make it a crafty day!

Hugs & Kisses | JustNick Design Team

Hello there, and thanks for visiting today!  I'm sharing a layout from April with you where I used a few different cut files on my layout featuring my sweet pea (who's now a junior in high school!).

And you can head over to the JustNick blog to see the fun cut files I used and some fun close-ups.

I used the Scrapbook & Cards Today Daffodil Days card kit for this layout, which includes the Echo Park's Spring Fling collection as well as other goodies. 

I hope you are enjoying your spring!  Enjoy the rest of your week.

Well hello there!  Thank you for joining me on this first Monday in May.  Today I'm sharing a new layout on the JustNick blog where I use felt to back the cut files instead of paper.

Go check out the JustNick blog for a look at the cut file I used as well as close-ups.  Then go grab some of your own cut  from JustNick and share with us.
