Mixed Media Minimalist Pages

Have you ever worked with the Mixed Media products at The Lilypad? If so, then you already know how amazing the products are. But, if you haven't, then let me share a little secret with you...they are not just for art journaling, mixed media style of pages. They are for all scrapbooking styles and, even more specifically, for minimalist pages.It doesn't matter where you start, whether you have a photo chosen and want to build your design around that, or if you spotted some product or paper you just can't resist, and you have the urge to use them right away (that happens to me all the time, I spot a little piece of a kit and my heart skips a beat, I need to have it and scrap with it).If you think you might be overwhelmed by the magnitude of products in the monthly mixed media collection and not know where to start or even if it is a collection that you will want to use, try … [Read more...]

Create a Card: Packaging Technique for Backgrounds

Create a Card: Packaging Technique for Backgrounds

I enjoy giving cards to family and friends.  Cards are perfect way to send birthday wishes, celebrate a special event, or even to just say hello to someone.  I always try to have a selection of homemade cards on hand to give out for any of these occasions.  I’ve noticed my supply of cards has been getting a bit low and committed myself to making a few cards to bolster it up.  New adventures/traveling is the theme of today’s card. I also am sharing a video on how to create a card background using the packaging technique.I know quite a few people who are starting new adventures this fall.  While adventures can be exciting they can also be nerve wracking too.  What better way to help calm the nerves of someone than to give them a homemade card with well wishes in it?  A card about exploring the world was begging to be made.To make this card I used the following supplies: Roam … [Read more...]

Autumn Mixed Media Project

Autumn Mixed Media Project

Hello! Hello! Trista here! Today I am sharing a peek into a new mixed media project that I have started. There is something wonder"fall" from our new resident designer, Nancie Rowe Janitz. The Autumnal Garden is a set of fall inspired printables. These printables are little nuggets of Nancie's brilliant artistry and I cannot get enough of them. Keep reading to see a fun new way to use these printables.     It all started at a yard sale. While shopping at a local yard sale, I came across a dusty old Rolodex. It was full of blank cards and worn tabs. It was unused and unloved. Suddenly I was inspired! I saw a box filled with tiny blank canvases. My body tingled with excitement as I grabbed the little box of artsy potential. I was not really sure what I wanted to do with it. The sticker showed $1.00 so I had to have it! Once I got the box home I wiped the dust off and cleaned the surface … [Read more...]

Mixed Media Monthly | Dream, Daring, Ideas

Chances are... you daydream from time to time. Or you come up with great (and maybe some not-so-great) ideas.

Wow.Take a look at the imaginative kit that may help you unlock some of those dreams and ideas, and get them out onto a page.  And of course, each … [Read more...]
