Crate Paper

Project CP Life :: March 2013 w/Megan Klauer

Let it be known, we are extra lucky here at Crate Paper because our Project Life Gals do an amazing job of taking the everyday, and turning it into a remarkable work of art. Literally, their pages are well involved while encompassing much of Crate's PL persona. A lot of love and care goes into each and every page. Today's PL entry is no exception - Megan has put her whole heart into her March PL presentation; 8 pages worth! We're honoring this lengthy, highly appreciated contribution by savoring it over two days, today and next Friday. That's right, we're splitting it into two posts! The first installment is ready to enjoy! Come take a peek and pin to your hearts content! 

~

 I have been going full throttle with my Project Life album this month. While I still didn't do it specifically by week, I id do a large review of the month's activities; 8 pages to be exact!

This month, you'll find that I used a large variety of Crate Paper product, including the Maggie Holmes, DIY Shop, Party Day, and Acorn Avenue collections. 

As I have done in the past, I started with a title block in the upper left corner. I used a variety of ways to incorporate journaling on this first page; pockets, journaling tags, and even some hidden journaling tucked inside a vellum envelope.

I really had fun incorporating the photo overlays into my design this month. They instantly create a fun "instagram" look; even to 4" x 6" photos! Check out my before & after just below of the photo with and without the overlay.

On the right side of this spread, I focused on our Saturday mornings spent at the YMCA watching our boys play basketball.

I used a variety of different sized photos and created a collage look with them by trimming them to fit inside the page protector. 

The Party Day chipboard numbers work great to highlight their team numbers.

The next page turned out to be one of my favorites. I created a "currents" page. This is something I would encourage everyone to do once in awhile. I did this one about me and my current loves activities, but you could do one for each family member as well! 

I used a good amount of the sweet Maggie Holmes collection with a bit of Acorn Avenue mixed in to create a beautiful color palette.

I used the top acrylic page from the mini clipboard album as an overlay as well. I then attached my flair button on top of it so that the overlay would remain nice and flat. 

The right side of the spread is a 12" x 12" page that I'm just giving you a glimpse of for now. You'll have to check it out later in the month in the March Crateware Gallery.

And that shall about do it for today! Trust me, I have lots more to share with you as to this latest Project Life undertaking. Visit the Crate Paper blog next Friday to see the rest! Have a great weekend CP Fans!! 

Make it with Crate :: Quilt Love w/Naomi Atkins

 

 

Hello!! Naomi here with a "quilting w/paper" tutorial! I LOVE to quilt..my favorite part is the piecing, lining up all of those gorgeous fabrics into handmade beauty! So far, due to the lack of time, I have only completed two quilts..my first was a simple baby block quilt for my son, Weston, when he was born. My second project was a chevron quilt using Basic Grey's "Hello Luscious" fabric. I LOVE how it turned out! Anyway, I have this great book, 1000 great quilt blocks. :)

I pieced this one called a disappearing 9 patch. The best part about it is the technique. I love paper piecing my layouts to look like quilts. And since I love patterned paper, it's probably one of my favorite techniques. I decided to try the disappearing nine patch pattern on my layout. The best part about this layout is that it looks like it took hours to piece and cut, but it's so simple. Turns out, it was equally simple for my scrapbook page! I think this may be a technique to repeat.

The concept is simple; a grid pattern of nine blocks. I took my creative memories square punch and punched nine squares. I lightly glued them down to an old piece of scrap paper. I did this twice so I would have more blocks.

All you do, is then cut those in half, and in half again (makes four larger squares from that). The result will be different size patterned blocks that look like you spent hours cutting them. 

Although I love the look of all the brightly patterned blocks, I didn't want them to 'overpower' my layout. I did a few things to 'tone it down' some. First, when I pieced the blocks around my picture, I had some odd spaces that could not be filled. I simply added some squares of burlap and/or lace to those empty spaces. I have an old lace curtain that I got from the salvation army for a $1.50 to add lace to all of my projects. I love being thrifty! The burlap ribbon, I got from Jo-Anns. It has a stiff texture, which makes it great for adhering to layouts. I added the lace over some of the very bright blocks. Also, I misted some of the blocks with Mister Huey's white and cream mists..this really helped create a softer look as well! I used a mixture of Acorn Avenue and On Trend papers, but mostly Acorn Avenue. The papers added a lovely "Fall" feel to the layout. Once I added all my squares, I sewed lines up and down them, just as I would over quilt blocks when "quilting" them. I love how it turned out!

I then embellished the page with some of Crate's deer themed embellishments and woodgrain thickers. The deer elements went perfectly with my theme of Doe Eyes. My daughter has the sweetest, soulful brown eyes, and always looks up at me with her "doe eyes" so it made the perfect page title!

I hope this inspires you to mix up your crafting. Don't be afraid to combine your love of sewing, painting, or whatever you enjoy into your scrapbook pages!!

Thankful Boxes Tutorial w/Rebecca Luminarias

 

 

Hey there! It's Rebecca and I have a fun tutorial for you today. It's different for everyone, but the first thing I think of when I think about Fall is Thanksgiving. That's possibly because my birthday is right around then and, growing up, I usually got to celebrate it on Thanksgiving Day. I always got that big, wonderful meal prepared by my grandparents and now that I'm 3000 miles away from my family, I miss it so much! But that doesn't mean I don't have a lot for which to be thankful. 

That's the basis of this post...remembering to be thankful this year. Most of us will have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie...all of that yummy goodness spread out on the table just waiting to be gobbled up by our hungry families. But wouldn't it be nice if we all gave thanks first? To do just that, I designed a little envelope box that you can fill with some small treats and "be thankful" notes.

~

You're going to need the following items:

The Template (you can download it HERE for printing)

Patterned Paper

Pencil

Scoring Tool

Ruler

Craft Knife

Scissors

Eraser (Optional)

Double-Stick Tape (I used Super-Tape in 1/8" width)

Embellishments for decorating your boxes 

 

I started by printing the template onto regular copy paper and cut it out. I then chose the patterned paper(s) I wanted to use to make my Thankful Boxes. The majority of this project features Acorn Avenue and the papers I decided on were "Macadamia Diner" (because it's so pretty) and "Chestnut Boutique" (because it's neutral).

Go ahead and trace the box pattern onto the backside of the patterned paper you've chosen. I made small scoring "ticks" on the outside of the traced lines and scored the lines before I cut out the pattern. 

I also cut the slit for the envelope flap using my ruler and craft knife.

 

Now you're ready to cut.

 

This is optional, but I used my eraser to get rid of any stray pencil marks, especially on the inside flap since your guests will see the flipside of your paper when they open their boxes. Now it's time to fold, which is easy since you've already done your scoring.

*Important tip: When folding, you'll fold the middle scoring line the opposite way (accordian fold style) on the 2 side panels and bottom. This technique adds a little "give" to your box and makes assembling and securing much easier.

 

All you have left to do is assemble your box (and decorate it, of course, but that's the fun part!). Fold the bottom part up and adhere it to the 2 side panels. You'll want a strong, skinny adhesive for this, which is why I chose 1/8" width Super Tape.

 

That's it! Your box is ready for decorating. I found that it was easier to decorate if I put the contents inside first. I put 2 Hershey's Miniatures in the box, along with a note that says, "today i am thankful for..." My guest can then write their message on the card and we can share them before dinner.

 

For embellishing, I made each one different but kept them simple since we have a big family and there will be several boxes to make. A bit of string or thread wrapped around the box several times and then a little something to dress it up -- a wood shape, a chipboard flower, a phrase sticker, etc. Luckily, Acorn Avenue has got you covered here with a whole bunch of wonderful goodies! The wood shapes were my favorite, I think, because just one small piece seemed to say much about the beauty of Autumn and why there is so much to be thankful.

 

And in this case, I used the "hi" fabric brad from On Trend and cut off the prongs with wire cutters so that it would sit flat when I glued it down.

 

Anything goes for decorating and really, this box can be used for anything, too. I made a couple of them so I can use them to give a friend a tiny, heartfelt gift like a hand-written note, a pair of earrings or some pretty barrettes.

 

And let's not jump ahead to Thanksgiving without celebrating Halloween first, right? Simply change the colors and patterns of your paper (in this case, it's "Style" from On Trend) and embellishments and you have an appropriate treat..or trick!

 

Finally, I wanted to make a slightly larger box that I could fit a gift card into. You can download that template HERE. Whether you're getting a jump on your holiday wrapping or you have some birthdays coming up soon, gift cards are sure to be on your shopping list this year. Why not personalize them by making your own packaging?

Again, just changing the paper patterns (Acorn Avenue's "Hazelnut Boutique") and embellishments (an Acorn Avenue Standout Sticker) makes this box, birthday music - themed.

 

I hope I've given you some good ideas to think about when planning your Thanksgiving feast or Halloween party. Fall is meant to be festive and Crate's got you covered! And don't forget to take a moment this year to be thankful.

Make it with Crate :: Stamped Veneer with Tami Gookstetter

 

I'm so excited for Fall this year, and the arrival of Crate's new Acorn Avenue collection! The colors and patterns in this collection are among some of my very favorite, and I'm loving the variety of different embellishments. I was thrilled to see the wood veneer shapes with this release, so today I'm sharing with you a fun and different way to use these on your paper crafting projects. I will be using two of the wood veneer shapes with a little craft paint to create custom stamps. 

 

First, I started by gathering some supplies I thought I would use for this layout, including a few colors of craft paint that coordinate well with the Acorn Avenue papers, an assortment of wood veneer shapes, a handy-dandy paint brush, and a few alphas & embellishments. You'll see that I'm very indecisive as I work and did not use everything gathered. 

 

I knew that I wanted to use the Hazelnut Cafe paper on this page, because I think it may quite possibly be my favorite piece of paper that Crate has ever made!! So, I cut a 4" strip from the pattern paper to sit along the bottom of the page and then chose two wood veneer leaf shapes and coordinating paints to accentuate it's organic feel. I stuck mostly with neutrals, but you could easily pull in some brighter colors for a more vibrant effect.

 

This is a messy and imperfect technique, though personally, I think it lends the page more character. Don't worry about being exact here. I just dabbed some paint onto the wood veneer while making sure it was thick enough to avoid drying too quickly. Pay attention here though because if it's too thick, it might ooze out when stamped.

 

Using my photo as a guide, I turned over my paint-loaded leaf and pressed it onto the page ever-so-slightly with my finger. You can use either more or less pressure to vary the coverage depending on the look you're after. Less equates to shabby chic in-case that's more your style. Reapply paint as needed to make additional impressions.

 

I stamped three leaves next to my photo, and then added pattern paper behind it to make it pop off the page. There's a small section of border sticker behind it, too. The leaves are still well noticeable and create a sort of layered effect. 

 

To finish the page, I added a few more embellishments on top the stamped area, positioned a couple pieces of Crate's washi tape stickers beneath my photo, and dropped a few sprinkles of mist before finally adhering the photo down permanantly. The title is created using both Crate mini alpha stickers {which I overlapped a little} & wood grain thickers. For more balance, I stamped a couple more leaves onto the upper right corner of the page. I finished it by using a journal pen to write about my daughter's and husband's relationship, letting the journaling wrap around the border of the page. 

 

You can have a lot of fun using this clever stamping technique. The key is to think "outside the box"! Along with using the stamped images as an accent, you could try stamping them all over cardstock to create your own unique background. And while you're at it, feel free to throw on some glitter or embossing powder for extra texture! 

CP Design on File :: Delightful Tape Stickers w/Heathyr Hintz

 

 

I love the new Crate Paper Tape Stickers!! As far as I'm concerned, they're one of the hottest new products that Crate Paper has introduced via it's latest collections. The tape stickers are just like washi tape, but with much funkier patterns. I especially like Acorn Avenue's tape stickers - the patterns are to die for! Get ready as there is much cuteness ahead...

I have to say that what appeals to me most about the stickers is how stunning they all look when lined up next to each other in their packaging. Because of this, I instantly thought about how cool it would be to mimic the arrangement on a layout. To pull it off perfectly, I made the decision to use up an entire pack of tape stickers. I kept the design similar by scattering the stickers across the bottom portion of my layout. Any gaps or open areas were supplemented with Pistachio Market patterned paper. In the end, the collage of tapes makes an inescapable statement that is playful, and charismatic.

 

And if you hadn't already of noticed, the blue chevron background lends wonderfully to the design, even amongst all the patterned tapes. Normally, patterns tend to collide if there are too many, but the blue chevron is subtle enough to avoid that problem. If anything, the warmth of the tape creates a nice contrast against it's cooler counterpart. Literally, it looks like the tape is "popping" off the page!

What started out as a simple page about an adorable dog playing in the leaves, is now something else entirely! It turned into a high-impact page full of vibrant color!

Designer Gallery :: On Trend & Acorn Avenue

 

 

Crate Paper DT Coordinator: Christine Middlecamp

"The last time I fell in love with a Crate Paper collection this much was when Random debuted nearly a year-in-a-half ago. I remember it being a really exciting time, too, because Random brought with it a color palette and design style that had never before been seen from the likes of Crate Paper. Fast forward to the present, and once again, Crate Paper's done the exact same, but this time, the collection is called "On Trend". Instilled with show-stopping color and eclectic design, it's one of the those collections you just can't go without, not if you're a color fanatic like myself. From what I can tell thus far, it's some of the best color I've ever had the opportunity to work with! In a big way, it's totally 'me'..no surprise there." 

"I've already spoken about the layout at length via my personal blog, Retrospection. To it though, I would like to add a couple of items. First, Crate's Chipboard Accents have been a part of the Crate family for as long as I can remember. In using them, I often target the non-traditional pieces, or leftovers. For example, with this layout, I took a thin oval chipboard frame, backed half of it with pattern paper, and then left the bottom portion of it empty to create the illusion of unity. Second item on the list are the little pieces. Case in point; Crate's tiny chipboard flowers and buttons. Gather them up, put them in a small bowl, and keep them nearby on your desk. Don't leave them on the sheet because chances are, they'll stay there forever. Make it a habit to use your tiny chipboard accents. Give'em layers, too!"

"My kiddos and I recently spent an afternoon at our local pumpkin patch. I knew right away I would be using the Acorn Avenue collection for these photos. I cut a variety of papers from the 6 x 6 pad to create a sunburst design in the bottom left corner and built my design from there."

 

CP Designer: Kaori Watanabe

"On Trend's color palette opens the door to a plethora of color combo options! Here, I stuck to a simple blue & white scheme with tiny pops of pink & olivine. This casual look is further supported by a minimal display of embellishments that include a hanging banner, chipboard accents and flower."

"I had so much fun layering goodies from the Little Bo Peep line on this page. Throughout the layout and around my photos, I used a lot of foam adhesive to add dimension. Beneath the photos is a pink chipboard frame and to the left, is a die-cut star burst decorated with a cluster of chipboard and cute pink brad."

 

CP Designer: Janna Werner

 Janna's layout is a blend of Acorn Avenue and On Trend, literally. If you take a close look at the photographs, you'll catch a peek of both - someone had a "Happy Mail" day!! Love the quad set-up, too - tons oh' fun!

 

CP Designer: Tami Gookstetter

An amusement park trip & a gorgeous, glowing sunset sit beautifully on top of Crate's "Party Guest" patterned paper {Backside} - sometimes, it takes only one sheet to truly set the tone of a layout. The pink is serene, just like the photo.

"I opted to create this little catalog booklet for my ever growing typewriter collection (Honestly, I think I've gone crazy). The Booklet has a total of 12 pages (room for 12 typewriters), but unfortunately, the rest are currently in transit."

*We spot Story Teller behind them typewriters!!

 

CP Designer: Ashley Cannon Newell

Crafted from the "Little Boy Blue" collection, is a hand made card and box of the same sparkling theme, stars galore! The first set of stars are stamped and the second, is a die-cut box, trimmed and formed from paper. They're a precious set!

Scrapbooking with Fabric + Acorn Avenue {Megan Klauer}

I have a fun little stash of vintage fabric that was handed down to me from my grandmother. For the longest time I just kept it in my scrapbook room and then realized she would want me to "use" this stuff! Since then, I have done so many projects with it, and I think of my grandma every time. 

 

Today, I'm going to show you how to easily incorporate fabric into your craft and scrapbooking projects. I'll be making a fabric flower and attach it to a headband, but you can also attach it to a metal clip, like the one shown in the above image. 

 

Start by cutting or tearing two strips of your fabric. I like to tear mine so I get those great rough edges. The length depends on the size of the person's head you are making it for. Mine was approx. 24" long and 2 1/2" wide.

 

One of the strips is going to be the headband part and with the other, we are going to make the fabric flower. Using a needle and thread, simply stitch back and forth on one side of the fabric {as shown}. Do this the whole length of the ribbon and then pull the thread from both ends to bunch up the fabric. 

 

Tie the two ends of the thread together and you'll end up with a flower as shown. This is a super easy technique that can be applied to any fabric or ribbon. 

 

Using either fabric adhesive or a hot glue gun, attach your choice of embellishment. I chose the adorable chipboard accent stickers from the Acorn Avenue collection. Again, using your fabric adhesive or glue gun, attach the fabric flower to your second strip of fabric.

 

Simply tie it in the back to wear!

Now, I know that not everyone has a little girl to make this for, so I'm also going to show you how to use the same piece on a scrapbooking project...

 

I pulled together a few scraps of Acorn Avenue papers, and an old frame I found at Goodwill. 

 

Begin by adhering your background piece of pattern paper to a piece of chipboard. {This sturdies things up as we are adding it to a frame with no glass} Continue to layer on your accent paper pieces. 

 

Wrap the fabric "headband" piece around the project and adhere using either glue dots or a hot glue gun.

 

Finish off your project with a little quote and a photo of your choice.

 

Add your frame and you've a lovely little Fall accent piece for you home :)

A Crate Paper Fall Color Redo w/Naomi Atkins

Naomi here, with a Fall color redu! Now if you're like me, you love all of the signs, scents and colors of Autumn! Orange pumpkins, yellow and brown leaves, and red apples. But, who says that Fall has to be limited to those colors? There are many colors that can lend to a Fall feel, outside the traditional color lines...giving the arm, rich feel of Autumn. I'm a photographer, and love the Boden Catalog. I enjoy the photography, often outdoor photography, and love their bold use of color. It makes me want to buy all of the clothing for a fall photo shoot with my kids! When I got the catalog this year, I was not disappointed. The colors and catalog had a wonderful Autumn feel, but introduced the colors of teal, plum, mustard and grey into the Fall color palette. And it was love at first sight! 

 

The picture that most spoke to me was a girl in a mustard yellow pea coat throwing fabric leaves in the air. The leaves were grey, pink, and plum. The dress on the opposite page was a blue/teal in nature, and voila! My page inspiration started right there!

 I also searched Pinterest (of course!) by simply typing "color palettes" in the search box. I didn't type Fall, because I wasn't necessarily looking for a traditional Fall look. I wasn't disappointed! I then came up with the following color palette:

For me, the colors had to at least have one color that REALLY reminded me of Fall to make it all work, and that was the mustard yellow.

Crate Paper hasn't disappointed with the Fall line-up of paper as well! Instead of the traditional Fall color palette, they have introduced some new colors into the new release, Acorn Avenue. The combination of these bold color hues went right along with the theme!

 ~

I also used a photo of a girl throwing leaves in the air for my inspiration. I punched patterned paper leaves out of many of Crate's new patterned papers for Fall. I layered them on my layout over strips of paper that were solidly colored, and punched circles out of some of them while also layering patterned paper underneath. For the tag, I used one of the tags that came with the collection, and strips from one of the new patterned papers cut up and sewwed onto the tag. I used the mustard yellow from last year's Fall collection, Farmhouse, for one of the strips. I embossed the "heart fall" stamp ith hite, then sprayed over it with brown Mr.Huey's and also grey and cream papers to help "ground" the bold colors. I hope this inspires you to think outside the box and use some different colors in your Fall layouts!

Instagram Accordian Mini Album :: Heathyr Hintz

Hi all! Today, I'm here to show you how to make a brochure-like mini album to hold a few of your favorite Summer photos. Mini albums are a favorite of mine to make, but it's rare that I take on the challenge due to the extra time involved. This fold-out album, however, was super simple and was completed while watching a favorite movie!

 

 

Project Supplies

{Little Bo Peep Collection}

 Patterned papers (Sophia & Charlotte), 6 x 6 Paper Pad, Brads, Wood Veneer Shapes, Grey Lullaby Thickers, Blue/Green Lullaby Glitter Thickers, 12 x 12 Alpha Label Sheet

{Little Boy Blue Collection}

Patterned Papers (Leo, Oliver, Christopher), Brads, Stand Outs, Border Stickers, Phrase Stickers, Accent Cuts, 12 x 12 Alpha Label Sheet

{Acorn Avenue Collection}

Patterned Paper (Chestnut Boutique)

{Sleigh Ride Collection}

Patterned Paper (Silver Bells)

{Other}

12 x 18 Sheet of White Cardstock, EK Success 1 3/8" Square Punch, Martha Stewart Scoring Board, Office Clip, American Crafts Foam Tab Circle Adhesives

 

Begin by taking the 12 x 18 sheet of cardstock (purchased as a single sheet or in a bulk package at your craft store) and cutting 2 1/4" off the edge so the paper measures 12" x 15 1/3". Align the edge of the cardstock on the 12" mark of your scoring board; score the first section of paper at the 7.5" mark (your scored section should measure 4.5"). Using the same measurements, repeat this action two more times. You should end up with four sections that measure as follows: cover (2.25"), inner accordion pages (4.5") EACH.

From here, I decided that the album be a little more "square-like" and a little less rectangular.

 

The rest is a breeze! Decorate the cover and accordion pages with your favorite Crate Paper papers; I started with the front cover and the last accordion section as it was imperative that they coordinate. The last accordion section will serve as a partial cover, so I knew I'd need it to be a wild, eye-catching pattern; the new Chestnut Boutique paper from Acorn Avenue was a perfect fit.

 

I decided to use the second accordion section as the area for showing off my mini photos. With your square punch, punch out 15 pieces of patterned paper. These will be used to frame your photos. Re-arrange the paper squares slightly uneven and then glue them down.

 

Re-size fifteen of your favorite Summer Photos so that they're bite-sized! I used instagram photos since they're of a lower quality than your DSLR and point-and-shoot photos. Since my square punch is 1 3/8", I resized my photos in Photoshop so that they were a teensy bit larger at 1.35" x 1.25".

 

It's time to embellish. Your array of photos will already lend a lot of color to the album, so the embellishments should be minimal. However, the album will look naked without a few bits here and there, so don't skip out on them! Brads were my go-to item, but you'll notice that I also used a few label stickers. Add varying sized brads to a few of the photo corners. I thought individual letter stickers would look great in the photo corners as well; Pull out your 12 x 12 alpha label sheets and run with this idea! 

 

You're nearing the finish line! As you can tell, I'm working back to front with this album, so the next step is to adorn your first accordion section. Keep this area simple as you've already created an eye-pleasing set of pages. Use wood veneer frames from either the Little Boy Blue, Little Bo Beep, or Storyteller collections to frame your main photo. Add a title, stand-out, border sticker and doily, and then call it done!

 

The inside cover has been left for journaling. When creating the heading, use the alpha letter stickers! Anything more will add too much bulk to the front cover, which will make your album difficult to close. Finish off the album with handwritten journaling!

If you gave the album a bit of dimension by using brads and foam dot adhesive like I did, you'll likely need a small office clip to close it shut. 

Viola, you're done! You now have a beautifully unique mini album to remember your Summer Fun for many years to come!
