Webster's Pages * Scrapbook Adhesives Swap {Day Two}

It's always so inspiring when great products meet up with other great products, and that's just what's happening this week as we team up with the lovely ladies of Scrapbook Adhesives. 

Today, we've got two more gorgeous layouts and a stellar card to share to inspire you for your next paper crafting project! These projects all feature our Sunday Picnic Collection, which is perfect for the spring memories you're making this month!

First, take a look at this layout by the ever-fabulous Jaime Warren:

Jaime took advantage of the Foam Squares, choosing just the right details to add dimension to. It gives the layout so much depth. 

These adhesives are equally as effective for all you cardmakers out there! 

Look what Jamie Harder created:

Jamie's simple style is met with a straightforward adhesive. EZ-mini dots are so easy to use, this card came together in a snap. For heavier embellishments, like this medallion sparkler, a balled up bit of Crafty Power Tape does the trick!

Finally, we're showing off Emeline Seet's more intricate style, which craves a strong adhesive. 

Because the Classic Webster's look loves layers and hand-cut elements, these 3D Foam squares are a must-have. They're self adhesive and so easy to use...and the results are clearly stunning!

Just apply to each corner of the element you're adhering, and you're good to go.

It really doesn't get much easier than that! 

If you're going to spend time creating pages, it's important that they don't fall apart. That's why these adhesives are perfection! 

Head over to the Crafty Power Blog today to see what the cracker jack team of designers has done with Webster's Pages!

On another note, head over to Two Peas in a Bucket starting today to find out how you can get a free gift with any Webster's Pages purchase.

If you've been waiting to stock up, now's the time! Plus, we're issuing a challenge that you're going to want to participate in! Go HERE to check it out! 

Webster's Pages * Scrapbook Adhesives Swap {Day One}

While every paper crafter has her own style, we all rely on one thing: GREAT adhesives...and this week, Webster's Pages is thrilled to pair up with Scrapbook Adhesives to show you how beautifully our products go together. 

Take a look at this stunning creation by the talented Gerry van Gent:

Gerry's style requires strong adhesives, and thankfully Scrapbook Adhesives had just the ticket. Here, you can see how Gerry used the Adhesive Sheets (for the trim) and Foam Squares (for the centers) to create her beautiful handmade flowers:

And the larger foam squares were perfect for her hand-cut motifs:

Look at the pop she got out of these elements when they're all clustered together on the layout:

You can see it all came together beautifully, so all of you Classic Webster's girls who love to add dimension need look no further than Scrapbook Adhesives. 

But our Clean and Simple Girls are also in love with the sticky stuff. Check out what Kay Rogers did with her box of Scrapbook Adhesives:

This layout may be simple, but it's anything but ordinary. Kay chose two hand-cut butterflies to accent her photo, drawing the eye straight to where it should be...to the two beautiful faces on the top of the page.

You can see the 3D Foam Squares gave her the oomph she needed to make those simple elements really stand out! It's gorgeous! 

Then we have this layout by Nina Ostermann:

First of all, this layout is just so adorable. It's simple, but so fun, and the stitching details are to die for! in order to create her trim border, Nina turned to Crafty Power Tape:

...which held everything in place perfectly. Her little banner was put together with the EZ Dots...simple and easy to use, just like the name suggests. 

Overall, it's pretty clear that we're going to have an inspiring week of swapping goods with Scrapbook Adhesives! Check out the Crafty Power Blog today to see what their designers are doing with our products!

And be sure to come back throughout the week...you never know when a giveaway is going to appear!

And today, you're in for a special treat. I asked Designer Larissa Albernaz to work her magic on a Game On layout, and being the overachiever that she is, she created not ONE but TWO for your viewing pleasure...

Larissa took a unique spin on Game On, not focusing on themed aspect, but creating layouts that celebrate the teamwork of her family. 

Of course, Larissa paid special attention to the details, showing how a few well-placed Dazzle-Me Gems can really spice things up...

...making this layout a HUGE winner! 

But of course, she didn't stop there. She created another page, this time using the adorable playing card designs in this collection. 

Again, the great thing about this is how Larissa took these sporty products and turned them into something completely different. 

Just a bit of out of the box thinking and you're good to go! And look how these gems really bring the whole page together...

Don't you think? 

So how about you? Have you jumped on the Game On Bandwagon yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

Make Your Own Dazzling Blooms {a tutorial}

Why don't you come along?

Simply click on the picture for more information & place your order today! 

Now, today...we've got something awesome to share with you...

We know what you're thinking. Wow, that's a gorgeous layout. 

We know because we thought the same thing when we saw it. Anabelle O'Malley has done it again, this time capturing Easter memories with a little personal flare. The great news is, she's going to explain how she created those beautiful handmade blooms along the right side of her layout...and guess what? It's not that hard! 

Let's Get Started: 

First, gather your supplies:

Anabelle used the velvet trim from the Western Romance collection, a needle and thread and some Glue Dots. 

Step ONE: 

Cut a small piece of the trim and run a running stitch through it. 

Step TWO:

Pull the two ends of thread together, forming the flower. Tie the thread tightly and trimmed the extra. To hold the flower shut, add a glue dot to the end of the trim. 

Step THREE:

Cut a piece from the Sunday Picnic gem strip. (Anabelle loves cutting the gems apart and using them in different ways on my pages...here, they make excellent flower centers!) 

Step FOUR:

Position your flowers on the page and add the gem centers. 

Easy, right? These blooms give the page a 'Spring-y' feel without making it overly feminine.

Sprinkle in some additional gems, an incredbily versatile embellishment, and you're good to go! 

Whether you're using your gems to accent handmade flowers or simply to make your page prettier, they're the perfect go-to embellishment every single time! 

Easy Handmade Flowers {From Beautiful Trim}

Since spring has fully sprung and Gabrielle went to town making flowers, I get to show you another gorgeous option for creating the perfect handmade flowers for you next layout or card. 

This time, Gabrielle is using our beautiful trims...and look at the luscious blooms she's created:

Perhaps you're wondering just how to create such beautiful flowers for yourself, and thankfully, we've got some easy to follow, step-by-step instructions to help you do just that. 

That trim is super gorgeous...but then, aren't they all? (Click the picture to check it out in our shop!) 

Aren't those the prettiest trims you've ever seen?

Moving on...

Looking over these four simple steps, it's pretty clear how easy it is to go from a straight piece of trim to a gorgeous flower in no time! 

Easy and beautiful! 

What about you? Have you made any flowers by hand lately? We'd love to see!

And while you think on it, take a gander at this gorgeous love-inspired project from Designer Gerry van Gent.

There are so many fun details on here, it would make wonderful Valentine's decor, but could easily spend the whole year adorning your walls...

Welcome {Guest Designer} Leslie Ashe

One of our favorite things in all the world is seeing how scrapbookers, cardmakers and paper crafters are using Webster's Pages to make life more beautiful. 

It's inspiring, don't you think? 

We do. We love to see your creative twist on our products, and today we get to introduce you to someone who is often inspiring with her creativity...our February Guest Designer, Leslie Ashe. (Click Leslie's name to visit her blog!)

Leslie has been scrapbooking for sixteen years...and she shows no signs of stopping any time soon. (Lucky for us!) We sent Leslie our Sunday Picnic and Western Romance collections and  she worked her magic with them...

Leslie loved these products so much, she created EIGHT projects for your viewing pleasure! 

With vivid colors and photos that POP, Leslie's projects will have you completely smitten. Look at this sweet little card:

It's simply adorable with its frayed edges and burst of colorful Bloomers. 

Our Design Team was incredibly inspired by Leslie's work, so much so that they've filled Inspire Me with a ton of gorgeous layouts! Like this one from Designer Gerry van Gent: 

First of all, WHERE did Gerry's daughter get those eyelashes? (Is anyone else jealous?!) I love the way Gerry incorporated the motifs on this layout...it makes for such an interesting (and gorgeous) page, don't you think?

And this one from Designer Stacey Michaud: 

I love the white space, the cluster of interesting items and the vibrant colors in the photo on this layout. It's just too perfect!

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. You can learn more about Leslie, see the rest of her incredible projects AND see how the Webster's Pages Design Team was inspired by her work by heading over to THIS POST on Inspire Me!

Sunday Picnic...shipping THIS week!

Sunday Picnic, you've captured my heart...and apparently the hearts of many others! Did you know you can order this brand new line today and it starts shipping at the end of the week? Well, you can. Right over HERE... And that makes you a lucky duck if you ask me!

I'm in love with the fact that we've got SO many different styles all using the same papers with beautiful results. Today, Gabrielle Pollacco is sharing her Classic Webster's style as she works her magic with Sunday Picnic and shows us how to create her gorgeous hand-stamped border...

Pretty, right? 

Notice the large mat around the photo has a lovely stamped edge? It almost looks like it was part of the original design, but Gabi used good old stamps & ink to achieve these perfect results. You can too in three easy steps. 

Step One: 

Step Two:

Step Three:

The key is all about randomness, and you get results when you allow the design to hang over the edge of the paper, like Gabi's done here. 

Once she had her border stamped, she was able to layer various elements to create the Classic Webster's Pages look we've grown to love. 

If you haven't looked in to buying Sunday Picnic for yourself, head over to the Webster's Pages Website to see what's new! This collection is chock full of goodies & it's all heading out the warehouse door this week! 

Let's go on a Sunday Picnic...

Oh, January, you beautiful, blissful month...we're SO excited to usher you in because January means TONS of sneak peeks, new collections and beautiful new projects. 

Sunday Picnic has me over the moon excited. Perhaps it's the color palette. Or the new Clean and Simple additions. Or the fact that we now have ORANGE bloomers. I can't wait to find a nice big box of this stuff at my front door so I can tell my stories...because that's what this is all about, isn't it? 

Check out this layout by the talented Larissa Albernaz. I love how on the back side of THIS SHEET OF PAPER you get these adorable little cards...

...which are great little additions to help you tell your story. They can stand alone, or you can alter some of them to create any saying you want. Even with no other journaling, Larissa's message is perfectly conveyed thanks to her use of this little card. 

And, as always, there are tons of other little details you can incorporate to tell the story exactly how you want to tell it. Look at Larissa's hand-doodled additions:

...proof that all that doodling you did in the margins during high school algebra certainly paid off. 

Sunday Picnic is happy, cheerful and fun, but still has that beautiful Webster's Pages elegance. 

So, what are you waiting for? Go on over to the Webster's Pages Website and get some for yourself! Today!

 

Introducing Sunday Picnic...Clean & Simple

All week long, we're putting the pieces together to reveal to you our brand new collection: Sunday Picnic. Perhaps we're especially excited because, like a new parent, we've got a new, never before seen addition to our family: Clean and Simple. 

Created as a way for the simpler, more graphic scrapbooker to preserve their memories, this is a line that captures all the elegance of Classic Webster's Pages. The perfect combination of patterns and solids will make clean scrapbooking a breeze. 

Not only is the color palette especially fun, but these patterns are a Clean & Simple girl's (or guy's!) dream! Look what designer Stacey Michaud has done with this gorgeous collection:

The pops of color and pattern with a few well-placed embellishments gives Stacey's layouts a crisp, timeless look...and one she's sure to love even years from now. 

The Sunday Picnic Clean and Simple line is a must-have for any busy scrapbooker who wants to create gorgeous, timeless layouts but prefers a more graphic style. The best part is, Clean and Simple is coming to all of our new releases...and we're gearing up because we can't wait to share!

Again, the Clean and Simple line shines up nicely in digital as Julie Walton shows us:

I love how the Chevron pattern that made an appearance in Anabelle's classic page yesterday shows up here on Julie's Clean and Simple page. Though I have to say, Julie's layout makes me long for warmer weather! 

So, tell us, what do YOU love about Clean and Simple?
