Techniques with Textured Layouts & Vibrant Colors!

Yesterday we saw  how to make homemade texture paste and add it to a layout! Today, Designer Iris Babao Uy is here to show us how to add color once it dries!

Isn't her layout STUNNING!???

Citrus Squeeze is FULL of gorgeous colors so Iris decided to choose a few of her favorites from this {BEAUTIFUL} color palette!!

After choosing her stencils and preparing her texture paste on a piece of cardstock (see yesterday's post for detailed instructions), Iris' layout is ready for some color!

Once the texture paste is dry, Iris adds colors using mist...

Next, in order to make the texture POP, she adds pan pastels over the areas with the mediums, allowing for even more color on top of the mists!

Here's a closer look at the texture! We're in LOVE to say the least!

This layout is breathtaking, don't you agree!? AND the texture paste is a beautiful addition to the AMAZING patterns and colors of Citrus Squeeze!

ALL of the papers Iris used in her layout are available on our site! Here are a few of her favorites to click on if you'd like to pick some up for yourself! 

Texture Paste Technique {with Gabrielle Pollacco}

Today, we have have an AWESOME technique to share! In fact, just calling it a technique doesn't do it justice! Designer Gabrielle Pollacco is sharing her very own homemade texture past recipe!!

Here's her special recipe!

Use an old credit card to apply your texture paste to your mask, holding the card at an angle and skimming it over the mask onto the paper.

Here is what Gabi's texture design looks like on her layout.  

Tip: The paste dries fairly quickly but you can speed up the drying process and keep the paper from buckling by drying it with a blow dryer on a low setting.

Now...a look at her finished product!

{BREATHTAKING!}

Here's a peek at a few papers from Plum Seed that Gabi used to make her layout!  Click on the images to pick up a few of these sweet papers for yourself!!

Summer Fun with Citrus Squeeze!

Of all of the amazing features of our new lines by Adrienne Looman, this may be our VERY FAVORITE! One Paper ~~ 38 CUT OUT ELEMENTS! {WOW!} Our Design Team is having a heyday with every last PRETTY little square inch of these papers!!

Designer Stacey Michaud and her family LOVE to celebrate summer with BBQ's and smores and it has become one of their favorite summer traditions! Recording these moments is so important for Stacey, she loves to take out her camera and snap fun, candid pictures of her kiddos!

She used multiple photos to make this layout, including shots that show the scene as a way to record life. 

Stacey was super inspired by all the BBQ elements in the Citrus Squeeze collection. There is so much fun packed into every single Citrus Squeeze page!

This one page alone {Countdown to Summer} boasts 38 cut-out elements!!

...and Stacey took advantage of more than just a few as you can see right here!

She went with a long vertical title and tied it together with hand cut elements, the banner and that little birdie!

She even cut a mini folder in half to make the journaling block. 

Citrus Squeeze mini file folders and cards are so adorable! Take a peek!

This collection is jam-packed with TONS of fun and surprises. From hand-cut elements to little treasure keepers like Mini Folders and Mini Bags, to beautiful trim and gorgeous patterned paper!
