April Club Kit: Chevron Chic

Introducing… CHEVRON CHIC, our April Club Kit

I spy…. some My Mind’s Eye papers and embellishments, Lawn Fawn papers and Alphabet stickers, Prima Alphas, some Fancy Pants paper and a Transparency, some CHEVRON washi tape and more! This month’s Club Kit might just be my favourite one to date (although I think I still love the first one most of all, it’s just so hard to choose).

Look for the full Debut on Saturday, April 14th at the shop and here on our Blog!

(We still have TWO kits left from March, check out the Design Team projects from last month).

Mojo Monday – Design Team Inspiration 2

This week your challenge is to create a card, layout or project inspired by at least one of our Design Team’s projects, posted in the gallery below. If you play along with our challenge you should share your art by uploading your project to our Mojo Monday Group on Facebook! We also have a Facebook Club called The Paperie Community where you can share ANY paper projects you make – no holds barred! We’d love to see your work.

Here’s a peek at all of the March Design Team projects, made by Krista Wells and Cathie Reed using our Club Kit. Can you believe that ALL of these projects were made in 8 days or less?! Our Design Team never ceases to amaze me, and they have some great demonstrations planned for our Retreat participants in May.

Click on the thumbnails to view larger photos, or right click on a photo and click “open in new window” to see even more details. Better yet, stop by the shop to see these fabulous projects in person! Cathie and Krista have outdone themselves with this month’s kit, which we debuted on Saturday at The Paperie. We still  have a handful of kits left, so stop by the shop on Monday or call with a credit card before they sell out. As always, the best way to get your hands on these hot little kits is to join up for a six month subscription.

And guess who used our Club Kit stamp set on a card on her blog today… the very talented Kristina Werner! I might just have to start a Pinterest board full of Paperie Club Kit Inspiration from our Design Team and any other talented paper crafters we stumble across!

Club Kit Peek!

Club Kit Sneak Peek!

Here’s a peek at our January Club Kit - seems pretty neutral, right? Well, just wait until you see what the Design Team has done to unlock the potential of this technique-based kit! All will be revealed on Saturday, so if you’re not signed up for one of Sara’s classes make sure you pop by to see the projects!

Most of Sara’s Classes are full, but we still have room in the Hero Arts Technique Card Class at 10am on Saturday morning. Featuring the Silhouette Vines Stamp & Dry Emboss set which everyone gets to go home with! Here’s a picture of the cards we’ll be making, with some super fun techniques like Faux Letterpress and more! Click the picture below to see a larger view of the cards we’ll be making with Sara:

Design Team Sneak Peeks!

Hello folks, it’s that time of the month again… our January Club Kit is due for it’s Debut this weekend during Sara’s Weekend Workshop! Our Subscribers get first dibs and there will be a *very* limited number of kits leftover for a few lucky people.

Our Design Team Members, Cathie Reed and Krista Wells, have emailed over some sneak peeks of their projects to tantalize us and we just had to share with you – click on the thumbnails for a larger view…

Look at all those different mists and inks that Cathie used on her papers! There is so much stuff in your stash that you can use to alter these papers – and we’ll provide lots more inspiration when the Design Team is finished creating!

This kit is so much more than meets the eye. Featuring Mistables Paper from Prima, it looks very neutral but it’s all about how you alter it! Use Distress Inks, Sprinklers, Misters and more – you’ll be amazed by the results you get when you think outside the box. We can’t wait to show you the full projects from our Design Team!

We asked Wendy to feature the beautiful Basic Grey fabric flowers in her Shadow box, and although they aren’t part of the club kit they work nicely with her paper choice. We still have some of these great flowers in stock – they make beautiful brooches too! A quick and easy Christmas gift!

———————————————————————————–

We debuted our first Club Kit at the Retreat this weekend past, where this hot little kit sold out in less than 2 minutes. Design Team Members Cathie Reed and Krista Wells were on hand to answer any questions about the projects they had made - both ladies totally maximized their kits to make four layouts each, as well as mini albums! Today we will share three of Cathie’s layouts for our AccuCut Showcase, and tomorrow we will show you ALL of Cathie & Krista’s projects in one post jam-packed with inspiration! PLUS we will have a Giveaway, so check back!!!

In this layout Cathie used the AccuCut Heart and our favourite 1″ Alphabet die-cuts (for the bottom half of the title). I love the idea of mixing fonts when you run out of letters. The heart looks cool covered in the Amy Tangerine Mixed Tape that was found in the kit. Lots of great details here, with the Mixed Tape borders and the misting. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love a layout where the focus is all on the photos.

Cathie has used the AccuCut 1″ Lowercase Block Letters again with patterned paper from her Kit for the title with some pink Mixed Tape behind to make it pop. Love the misting and masking with the tiny heart in the top corner. Cute!

Lastly we have this layout featuring the Amy Tangerine Doily Stitched Paper from the kit. Cathie used an AccuCut Snowflake die as a mask before she misted the grey paper so that it gave a soft and wintery look, I just love the effect. More pink Mixed Tape behind her title helps the grey Thickers stand out against the grey background.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see ALL of Cathie & Krista’s projects PLUS an opportunity to win a fun prize!
