Let’s get Christmas going

Sheila — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:43:40 +0000

Well you know once the kids are off from school and all the festivities and travel plans kick in, you are not going to have any time to get any Christmas Crafting done, so what say we get a headstart and get those cards & Xmas projects going?

To help with that goal we’re releasing some of our newly arrived 2010 Christmas stash, which we were actually hoarding for the new store (look out for an announcement soon + countdown specials) Available this weekend at smidapaper studio!

Selected Christmas goodies from Crate Paper, Hero Arts & Cosmo Cricket. =)

And while we’re making merry, all 2009 Christmas selections are on sale at 30% off. Just looking at this stuff is really putting me into ‘elf’ mode. What do you think? I- Mei? Cindy? Anyone? =)

More Sizzix fun!

You will not believe the amazing things you can do with the Sizzix Big Shot! Look out for make & take dates or come by to see for yourself.

So seriously, this is the box with the Big Shot Pro. All 24 kg of it! Don’t worry, the Big Shot is completely portable. And Pink. But still, you don’t want to drop it on your toes.

We used some new dies which will be available in November/ December but the 3D flower is HOT! Try it in store now.

smidapaper gals had a blast at Made With Love’s Sizzix Retailer Event. We spent 12 hours having the most fun ever with Julianna Hudgins, Sandra, Elvira, Swee Ching , Jasmine & Aida. Three cheers for the “Loving’ hospitality! These gals rock and smidapaper came home to Penang with the Grand Lucky Draw prize- a Sizzix Big Shot Pro & Pro Die. Sandra & Jasmine almost ‘died’ presenting it.

Recently smidapaper was honored to have the talented Jessy Christopher teach some workshops at our little store. I was truly impressed by the painstaking detail in her ‘layout with a twist’ project. After the initial shock of all that fussy cutting, these gals really loved their finished projects too. Beautiful job Jessy!

Earlier this week, Sheila shared a very useful tip about word or a name of a collection that you could find at the bottom of each sheet of patterned paper. I was inspired by her idea that I thought I would share the card version. I found these colorful strips of patterned paper by Echo Park and to create this card, I cut out the strips from the bottom of each paper and adhered them to a kraft card base. To give the card a little something extra, I created faux stitch borders by using a tracing wheel. I hope this idea will help to spark your creativity! Happy Creating!

Journaling 4-Pure Bliss

Mei — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:44:51 +0000

Today’s journaling idea is super fun and you can use it for a special day or an event. My layout is about happy Sundays and things to do that make me happy. So the journaling prompts could work for event based photos, or a favourite place or a holiday.

You could start the journaling with some background story like, “these days I often find myself too busy or stressed out to just go somewhere new and try a new activity or explore new places in town” and then continue with the event which changed the routine.

If you begin with your journaling idea first and decide on your title and theme, you can work it into your design. Some title ideas for a project like this might be;

1) pure bliss

2) perfect sundays

3) adventures with you

The journaling is easy enough to start off with, like just a list of where you went, what you saw and why you liked it, sort of like just writing in a diary. You can also add label stickers to the photos and write captions on it.

These are again just some ideas to get your journaling thoughts whirring. Journal away and feel free to leave comments about which aspect of journaling you might want to know more about, or just to share your journaling experiences.

Happy journaling!

What I’m Loving now

Sheila — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 08:41:41 +0000

So much stuff ! How does one choose what to use? I made this layout without using a single flower. I did try to add some , but they didn’t work. Gasp! Could I be going off flowers? Heh, not likely. But just this once, it seemed okay to do without.

Ok, so what am I loving now? Well for starter I love WORD stickers. And here’s a tip. The word togetherness is actually from the bottom of a sheet of patterned paper. You know, each paper has a name and also the collection name. Why did I not notice before? So I cut out “Togetherness” and “birds of a feather” from these Cosmo Cricket papers and stuck them on cardstock. Cut them again and distressed then popped them with foam squares. You can find loads of interesting words and phrases this way…go take a look at your stash. The word delight is an actual sticker from K & Co.

I’m also loving chipboard shapes.

A fun thing to do frame your paper is to use a border stamp . In a bright colour, like the pink here.

I’m also loving frames right now. To frame your pictures & your journaling this works very well. You could also use small frames for small bits of journaling or to make a title or group some small items. Pop up your frame for more dimension and slide buttons underneath, letting them peek out here and there. Have fun! =)

Product Feature – Rub-On Tape by Daisy D’s

Stitching is always a great way to add texture to card and there are many ways to do that. I don’t own a sewing machine and if you are like me, you would agree that faux stitching is the best alternative. Lately, I’ve been playing with Daisy D’s faux stitch rub-on tape and consider it as my new favorite product!

It’s effortless to use and works perfectly for any kind of style. Here, I created two cards just to show you how a simple rub-on tape can be used for two different styles. The first is a cute baby card and the other is a shabby chic butterfly card. And oh….did I mention that it took me less than 30 seconds to create the faux stitches? Now, that’s what I call time saving!

Tips to use:

1. Work best when applied to a smooth surface.

2. Apply even pressure when adhering the rub on tapes.

3. Simply use a white eraser to remove any mistake you make.

4. Allow it to dry before touching.

Fun right? If you are planning to get one, it’s available at Smidapaper now! I know I’ll be using this rub-on tape a lot! Happy creating!
