Cheeky Studio: Vintage Thank You Card

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Natalie

To create my fifth Cheeky Studio project for August, I took lots of pieces from the Pink and Cream Bouquet ephemera pack and aged them using Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Ink from Ranger. I then layered the pieces beneath the central panel to make it look as if the card was bursting with flowers. For the sentiment piece, I used one of the floral frames from the pack and added the ‘thank you’ stamp from the Skull and Cross Buns Quirky Sentiment stamp set. For a bit of extra interest and sparkle, I dotted about some Nuvo Drops. I really like the way it turned out!

Pink and Cream Bouquet ephemera pack is available to order on the Cheeky Studio website. Don’t forget: you can use my discount code natalie1o to receive a 10% discount on your order!

Cheeky Studio: Peaceful Journal Pages

Posted on August 14, 2018 by Natalie

My fourth Cheeky Studio project of August is a spread I created in my journal. I wanted a peaceful place to write my thoughts, so I reached for peaceful colours: blue and purple. I sprayed watercolours through a leafy stencil, and then, once that was dry, I added some dark blue washi and a selection of Wild Flower ephemera pieces (from sets 3 and 4). I think the little pops of orange really lift the spread and give it a bit of depth.

Wild Flowers Set 3 and Set 4 are available to order on the Cheeky Studio website. Don’t forget: you can use my discount code natalie1o to receive a 10% discount on your order!

The Little Paper Tree: Pop Art Congratulations Card

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Natalie

Hello! It’s Natalie here, back with a brand new make for The Little Paper Tree. This month, I’m using the Jordan Alphabet Outline stamp set and a Catherine Pooler Stencil for my creations. I had a lot of fun making this Pop Art ‘Yay!’ card and think sending it would be a great way of saying congratulations!

To read the tutorial, head over to The Little Paper Tree’s Tutorial Blog for the instructions and product list.

Scraptember 2018: Three Weeks to Go!

Posted on August 11, 2018 by Natalie

Last week, I was thinking about what Cheeky Studio design team projects to make for September when a word popped into my head: scraptember. Ooh, I thought, I wonder if that’s a thing, so I asked the other members of the Cheeky Studio design team if it was a thing in the scrapbooking world. Turns out it’s not! Not in a big way, anyway – coincidentally, one of the other DT members is doing a video-a-day with a group of other scrappy YouTubers, but they’re calling it Scrapember.

Long story short: I’ve decided to try to make Scraptember a thing and have come up with a plan. The idea is to create a new memory-keeping layout EVERY DAY for the entire month – yep, that’s 30 layouts! (But don’t worry if you haven’t got the time or the energy for that many though. Feel free to do as many or as few as you’re able.) Also, if you share your Scraptember creations on social media, please use the hashtags #scraptember and #scraptember2018 so we can see what you’ve made. And that’s it.

Finally, here are the official Scraptember prompts. You don’t have to use them but there there for some creative inspiration if you need it. Use all, some or none. Do them in order or out of order. Take them literally or figuratively. Whatever works for you!

There are already lots of people who have said they’re going to join in, and I’ve got a collaboration or two lined up, so keep your eyes and ears open for updates.

Cheeky Studio: Wildflowers Thank You Card

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Natalie

So, for my third Cheeky Studio project of August, I’ve used more wildflowers (from set 1 this time) and a Valentines Pocket Life card to create this fun ‘thank you’ card. I love how the solid colours of the flowers sit so well against the soft watercolour of the background. I added a few sequins from the Wild Flowers sequin mix too. A project is never truly finished unless it sparkles, even just a little bit!

The Wild Flowers set 1 ephemera pack and the Valentines Pocket Life cards are available to order on the Cheeky Studio website. Don’t forget: you can use my discount code natalie1o to receive a 10% discount on your order!
