Here’s a fun way to use both the positive AND negative space when cutting out shapes from Cricut! • For this card, we cut out a border from our Cricut Artbooking collection, used the fall out hearts for layering- then cut additional circles in varying colors that were slightly smaller than the border for even more colorful pops of dimension!✨💗 #cardmaking #papercraft #cricutwww.robbieginsel.ctmh.com

TECHNIQUE THURSDAY!!
Raise your hand if you love to emboss?!🙌🏼 Here are two colorful and easy techniques to step up your embossing game! The left card was made by sponging the base of the card first with different colored ink pads, then stamped and embossed over top. The right card was stamped and embossed first, then filled in with watercolors! Such a fun and simple way to mix things up on your art!🎨
Who’s going to try this technique? Our home office artists are amazing!!

TIP TUESDAY 

Here are my five tips on scrapbooking! :)
1. PICK A THEME
I choose my theme based on the pictures I'm scrapbooking, for example birthdays, graduations, births, etc.
2. CHOOSE COLOR SCHEME
I usually pick one or two colors from my pictures and match my cardstock and patterned paper
3. MAT OR DON'T?
I don't always mat my photos. It depends on how many pics I want for my layout or what my patterned paper looks like
4. EMBELLISH
Think outside the box, use buttons, fabric, add memorabilia from your trips and stamp sentiments directly on your page
5. JOURNAL/DATE/SIGN YOUR LAYOUTS
Don't be afraid to journal in your own handwriting, remember this is what your families will cherish. Always put the year on your layout and sign your page. I sign "Created by Mom and then the date I created it", (got this idea from my son Joshua)

Happy Tuesday!
