Swirling Prints for Commercial Use

It's the Summer of Prints for me - and I do love making them! Many thanks to my designing friend, Manu, I made some pretty swirling prints this week and got them into the shop in time for Sunday's sale at the NutHouse!

There are six deliciously swirling prints in full-size scrapbooking pages, ready to be used or abused as overlays, underlays, or other creative way. But I've also included the 6 hand-built seamless pattern tiles with transparent backgrounds which I used to create these overlays so that you can really customize them.

Color them, distress them, erase parts of them ... add stuff to them, texture them, use them over your own textured papers to match perfectly - the sky is the limit when you have the tiles to build your own patterns!

It's the way I wish all printed papers came, so I'm trying to do my best at doing what I preach!

Take advantage of my DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT Offer - PM or email me when you use one of my CU items in your products for sale. Then I'll feature it on my blog and add it to the most recent previews right in the shop for this set.

Here's some quick papers I made from these same prints:

New Paper Starters

After a number of designers asked (many) times about my multi-colored papers and backgrounds, I am releasing three sets of these high-drama paper-starters for sale at NutHouse-Scraps.com.

Softly blending colors smoothly transition across a page - reminding me of how watercolors wash a paper, but these designer resources are all digital. (Now you know how they got their name!) These beauties are 300dpi, 12x12 jpg images in full color. There's a regular set, a bright set, and a pastel set.

A full commercial-use license comes with each set, even the full-size free sample below.


What can you do with them?

What can't you do! I've used this technique in some of my best selling kits - people love the color variation and blending! The papers come texture free so that you can add exactly the right texture you need to complement or match your own designs.

You can also put a pattern over them, use them to fill a pattern, or to colorize an element. If you're disappointed they're not available in greyscale - then gosh, turn them greyscale and fiddle with them - your creativity is the only limit!

They're available for $3.99 for a set of 4 - or all three sets in a discount bundle.

Click the thumbnail below for the free download page and play with this wonderfully purpled ColourWash page. Professional use is allowed for this free sample, too.

I'd love to see what you use them for! They can go from elegant to fantasy, from contemporary to heritage. It's all your wrist!

Christmas Past

I've been so busy with Christmas and a new project for a give-a-way (it starts tomorrow, come back then!) that I forgot to post about my Christmas Past Kit.

I had so much fun making this kit - from the glorious damask papers to the glittery candy cane frame, it will make your festive memories from this year or last century a snap for your scrapbook treasure!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Our Christmas with the family starts with the Christmas Eve program that our grandson is in this evening and goes through Saturday evening where it culminates with a celebration with our extended family.

Wow, check out this lay out!

Look what Heather did with a Halloween candid and my Wild Things kit! I think it is totally brilliant! She's one of my wonderful and talented Creative Team members.

Here's the larger image of the layout in the gallery.

I totally adore how she used the dark round frame in the back as just another layered element, like a collage.

Leave her some love in a comment and tell her what you liked about it.

Wild Things - all new

Wild Things is the name and theme of the new digital scrapbooking kit that I put in the shop today! It will be on sale for 35% off until Monday, November 2nd.

With a nod to the delightful and beloved children's book and new movie from Spike Jonze, the NutHouse-Scraps.com Designers got together and created some WILD Things for you this month! My mini kit is just part of the huge coordinated Mega Collaboration. It's available separately or in the Wild Things Mega Collection.

The sailboat is probably my favorite element, the stacked 5up frames was a last minute addition when I was making a layout and needed them! (Literally, last night!)

Be sure to share your pages with me, I'd love to see how you and your Wild Things look on finished pages.

There is a matching set of digi glitter for Wild things, in the newest addition to my Glitter Me This series. Everyone needs a little sparkle in their life and on their layouts!
