Vintage Cards

Hi Everyone,

I am sharing today to some vintage cards that I made for the Paper Bakery. I love all the little vintage ephemera pieces from My Mind's Eye that are included in the January Love Potion #9 Scrapbook kit. They helped pull these cards together in a snap.

I love that this kit is so versatile.  They could be used for Valentine's day, anniversaries, or just to send a simple hello.  I hope my cards have inspired you today.

Heart Confetti mini album

Hi,

Good morning.  Today and I am going to show you how to make this simple heart confetti pocket mini album using the January Love Potion #9 Scrapbook kit, from the Paper Bakery.



Gather up any left over scraps that you may have from your January Love Potion #9 Scrapbook kit, ephemera pieces, small confetti type punches, sequins and transparency paper (vellum paper works great for this too)!



Using your punches make confetti out of left over scraps that you have from your kit.



Open up the Paper Bakery January cut file in your Silhouette software program.



I decided that I wanted to make my book using the heart file that is included in the cut file.  Delete all other shapes and enlarge the heart.  Using the cut tool remove the inside of the heart.





Duplicate the heart shape and run it through your Silhouette.  I cut my pockets out of transparency paper but you can use vellum for this too.





Place the two pieces together and use a sewing machine to stitch up the sides.  Leave an open space towards the top to drop in your confetti and sequins.



After filling your heart shapes up with confetti and sequins,  use your sewing machine to stitch the of the heart up.



Using a hole punch, punch through your heart page and add a jump ring.  Add additional pages and ephemera pages to complete your album.

Hello! Love Potion #9 projects

Happy Thursday! A quick post featuring some projects I created for the Paper Bakery with the January Scrapbook kit Love Potion #9 

Love You Layout

I used the free January cut file (included for subscribers) and duplicated the fun heart image to creat this fun background.  I added a few of my own wood pieces, and buttons.  The cork pieces are from The Paper Bakery December Times Square Scrapbook Kit and the sequins and washi tape are available in the shop.

Smile Layout:

I added some stamping, stitching around my photo and a few sequins.

Love Card:

I used the free January cut file to cut this heart out of the Crate paper vellum that comes with the kit.  I added a wood button from my own stash.

This kit was so fun to play with.  So many options!

Thanks so much for visiting! I will be back on the Paper Bakery blog next week with a fun tutorial.  Have a great day! 

Ready for School

Hi Everyone,
I am sharing my very first Paper Bakery post with you.  I was given the January Love Potion #9 Scrapbook kit to play with this month.  I love the mix of pattern papers and embellishments in this kit.  They are great for Valentines day, as well as day to day events.  I decided to make my first layout about my niece who recently started preschool.  I started my layout by creating this fun background in Silhouette studio using different shaped speech bubbles, and then backed them with different pieces of pattern papers and embellishments from the kit.

Ready For School Layout

A quick way to add pizzazz to your layouts is to add stitching to them.  One of my favorite techniques is to add lots of hand stitching to my layouts using embroidery floss.  I used hand stitching as well as machine stitching on this layout.

Check back this month to see more projects made with Love Potion #9.

Thanks for stopping by today!
