What’s the quickest and simplest way to scrapbook? Simply scrapbooking kits, of course. Scrapbooking is one of America’s fastest growing hobbies, but this popular and rewarding pastime doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. Color-coordinated scrapbooking kits and self-adhesive punch-outs take the guesswork out of scrapbooking and produce beautifully coordinated scrapbook pages. You can even use these scrapbooking kits to make amazing cards!
With self-adhesive punch-outs combine the ease of scrapbook stickers with the sturdiness of card stock. The punch-outs are printed on heavy-weight paper so you can layer them on top of each other just like scrapbooking paper. With these dimensionals, the punch-outs pop right off the page and are repositional for the first few moments, so if you change your mind, you can carefully remove them without tearing the card stock or the punch-out.
The punch-outs can also be cut if you’re unhappy with the original shape.
You can also also use your scrapbooking kits with other items from your scrapbooking tools.
Whether you’re a beginning scrapbooker or seasoned card maker, you’ll love having various punches to use in your projects. They’re so versatile and easy to use. Just decide on an idea that you wish to use and choose a punch that will go with it.
I often purchase a scrapbook set that includes several punches. That way I’m getting other items to include in my scrapbooking tools and more scrapbook paper and embellishments. Scrapbooking card making is simpler with a variety of punches to use.
When I first began this wonderful pastime, I was, of course, skeptical. Me, as scrapbooker! I regard myself as possessing very little talent in my creating. My daughter helped me get started by purchasing a scrapbook kit and some colorful scrapbooking paper. She had created a brag book using ideas from items that were in my kit to help me get started.
Since then, I’ve learned that scrapbooking is all about incorporating texture and dimension on my scrapbooking pages. A mere piercing can add texture to a page, while a button adds exactly the right amount of dimension to a flower’s center. Stamp pads with rich pigment ink are perfect for stamping scrapbook pages. Images will last a long time. I’m certain that others of you have more learning experiences through scrapbooking. What are they?
We’ve received an invitation from a couple who are getting married in September, and with our busy schedules and not knowing what to buy them, we’ve decided to purchase a wedding scrapbook kit for them. The bride to be is busy going to school, but will want to preserve that wedding day later on when she has time and what better way than with a scrapbook.
Whether it be a digital software or craft store kit, they are the best way to go, especially for someone who’s just scrapbooking one project. I sometimes use them when I don’t have a lot of time available to complete a particular design. Consider this idea as an option when you feel stressed about getting that next project finished!
Kids will love the pre-made Disney scrapbook pages. These pages come with all of the familiar Disney characters.
Your pictures to include on these pages don’t have to be from Disneyland or Disney World. Once that you have picked out the photos, have the child choose which Disney page to use.
I prefer purchasing a Disney scrapbook kit that includes patterned pages, epoxy stickers and accents. Be certain that the kit offers a supply of words and titles.
Whether you’re using pre-made pages or scrapbook kits, your child will be thrilled to begin creating!
Martha Stewart is nothing if not resourceful. She can whip up intricate creations with just paper, scissors, glue and a little imagination. I recently made paper dogwood flowers with some advice from her website.
For her blossoms she used white cardstock, but I love color and happened to have several leftover scrapbooking paper pads with multiple pages left in each. I cut the multi-colored pages into five-inch squares and folded the square in half, and then half again. I opened up the square and folded the creases diagonally. All said and done there were eight triangles. I then rounded off the edges into a petal shape and attached green paper leaves to the blossom. Voila! A bit of spring for the indoors.
