Sticker Week | Tonya

Hi everyone! This is Tonya with you on this last day of sticker week. I chose to make my sticker projects centered around gift giving. Using the new Joyous collection made this a very simple thing to do!

This collection is so elegant and sparkly. I also adore the vintage look of it!

 

I was able to take this very plain white box and turn it into something that I am proud to place under my tree.

 

Supplies: Joyous- North Pole Paper, Decorative Tape, Stickers, Decorative Pinwheel Bows, Decorative Brads, Tiny Alpha Stickers

 

I simply cut two strips of patterned paper and wrapped then around the box. Then I used the striped decorative tape, which I topped with some thin strips of glitter.

 

The pinwheel bow is one of the smaller ones in the package. I embellished the rest of the package with stickers from the sticker sheet and the tiny alpha package.

 

 I also created a set of four gift card tags. These were all cut from the 6x6 Decorative Paper pads.

 

Supplies: Joyous- Decorative Paper Pad, Gems, Cardstock Tags, Stickers, Tiny Alpha Stickers, Decorative Brads

 

You can easily personalize the tags by using the Tiny Alpha Stickers.

For this one I used the Cardstock Tags and just trimmed the top of it to match the top edge of the card pocket on this tag.

 

I love that little vintage Santa face, it is just the cutest!

 

I have one last project to share with you. This one was done using the Sleigh Bells Ring collection.  It was sitting on my desk and I liked how the first gift box turned out so I thought I would wrap another one using Sleigh Bells Ring.

 

Supplies: Sleigh Bells Ring- Decorative Paper Pad, Decorative Tapes, Enamel Shapes, Stickers, Flair, Bows

 

I think the big paper bow and the decorative tapes totally make this!!!

 

So, go ahead and use your My Mind’s Eye collections for more than just your layouts and cards. These products are so versatile, especially the stickers!

Sticker Week | Lea

Hey there, MME friends!!  Lea here today with a post full of cards for sticker week on the blog!  I've pulled out all of my Sleigh Bells Ring goodies to create these, with an emphasis on the Gift Label stickers, Alpha & Word sticker sheets & the Enamel Shapes.

 

Supply List: Sleigh Bells Ring - 6x6 paper pad, gift label stickers, alpha & word sticker sheets, enamel shapes, bows, decorative tags. mixed bag, decorative brads, decorative frames, flair pins; other - black cardstock, green ribbon.

The holidays are in full swing (I'm sitting here with a cup of candy cane cocoa as I type this), and you might find yourself in need of additional cards!  So while these cards do have a lot of layers to them, they are really simple to put together.  My Mind's Eye makes it easy with all the amazing stickers & accents that they create for each collection.  With everything ready made, all I had to do was grab & start layering them on the card fronts.

The first card with the big (but fabulous!!) bow on it is the only one that can't easily slide into an envelope to be sent.  But it would look beautiful atop a gift package, basket or bag...don't you think?  The other three cards do have some dimension added to them, but will still fit into an envelope with ease (I checked!).

I started by cutting four A2 sized cards, 2 portrait & 2 landscape, from black cardstock.  Then each card got a background paper cut slightly smaller, 2 in red & 2 in green. 

After that I used patterned paper scraps, stickers & embellishments to decorate the front of each card.  I actually cut out the collection name graphic from the gift label stickers for the jingle bell card!  I kept looking at my stickers, and it just fit perfectly!

I hope that you've enjoyed my card set for stickers week on the MME blog!!  Feel free to recreate them for your last minute holiday card needs!

Sticker Week | Valerie

 

Hello! It’s Valerie here continuing on with sticker week. My Mind’s Eye always releases such a great variety of stickers with each collection. I love incorporating the fun phrases into my layouts. Today I’m sharing a simple, no fuss layout featuring a family photo from our summer trip to Disney World and a phrase that fits in perfectly with the location.

SUPPLIES-Jubilee Mint Julep “Journey” Adventure paper. Market Street Nob Hill label stickers and Market Street Ashbury Heights chipboard elements. Other: Bazzill Basics kraft paper and vintage typewriter.


I went back a couple releases and picked up the Market Street Nob Hill label stickers. The “once upon a time” speech bubbles caught my attention and I thought they’d be perfect for one of our Disney photos. I paired it with a typographic patterned paper from one of the most recent releases—Jubilee Mint Julep. I’ve been using my own handwriting for most of my journaling lately, but decided to dust off my typewriter and use it for some journaling strips on this layout.

And a cute chipboard camera from Market Street Ashbury Heights is the perfect finishing touch. It was fun to sort through vacation photos from hot sunny Florida and think warm thoughts for a bit since it’s definitely far from warm back here at home lately.

Happy Holidays!

Supplies:Joyous: Postage patterned paper, Joy patterned paper, Noel patterned paper, Merry patterned paper, Carols patterned paper, Tinsel patterned paper, Flourish patterned paper, sticker sheet, alpha/word stickers, gems; Misc: red thread, brown ink, black pen, foam tape.

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is taking a photo on the stairs of all the kids in their snuggly new pajamas - just before we open presents.  I thought the glittered papers and classic Christmas colors of the "Joyous" collection worked perfectly with this photo from last year. This collection has a fabulous 6"x12" sticker sheet with large designs.  I thought it would be fun to use three of them for the focus of my page.

 

I cut a strip of the glittered chevron paper and dove-tailed the bottom to create a banner.  I cut 4 more banners out of various papers and sewed around them with red thread.  I layered them on the background paper with the pretty blue and red border. I matted the 4.5"x6.5" photo with cream and red striped papers.

 

I cut a cream circle out and used it to mat the back of the red "Season's Greetings" sticker.  I put chipboard on the back of the 3 stickers to "pop" them off the page and placed silver gems on two of them.

 

I cut out the red glittered swirl border from the "Noel" paper. I used the festive pack of Joyous alpha/word stickers for my journaling.  I popped a few of them up with foam tape to give dimension and inked the edges. I placed a large silver gem on the "Joy" sticker. I used the light blue "Merry Christmas" sticker as a tab on the photo.

 

I was amazed that the package comes with SIX sheets of stickers - the possibilies are endless!!

I hope you enjoy creating holiday projects with these wonderful sticker sheets.

Sticker Week | Missy

Hello MME fans and Happy Monday!

Welcome to a very fun week on the blog...Sticker Week!

This week our talented design team will be sharing fun and creative ways for all of you to use your beloved MME stickers.

The fabuloust Missy Whidden is up first. Enjoy!

♡♡♡♡♡

 

Hey, there!  Missy here.  I’m so excited to be kicking off Sticker Week here at MME!  I’ve loved stickers ever since I was a little girl.  I think that’s part of why I love scrapbooking so much…it makes me nostalgic.  I decided to challenge myself to use some of the stickers from the Just Sayin’ collection in a different way.  I love die cuts, so I incorporated several stickers into a die cut I found in the Silhouette store.

 

I know it’s December, but I was in the mood to scrap some summer pictures!  And the colors in the pool water are a great match to the mints and aquas in this collection.  I started this by using lots of different patterned papers to back the die cut.  I pulled out the stickers and used the ones I wanted in several of the cut outs as well.  The “Today,” “Crazy About You,” “Adore,” and all the other sentiments in the die cut are stickers.  My title to the left of the photos and on top of the photos are also stickers.

 

Supplies Used: Just Sayin’—Papers: “Believe,” “Posies,” “Belong,” “Garden Party,” “About You,” 6x6 Paper Pad, Alpah & Word Stickers, Enamel Dots & Shapes, Decorative Brads; Necessities—Metallics “Triangle” Foiled Vellum Paper, Metallic “Dot” Vellum Paper, Alpha & Word Stickers – Black & Grays; Decorative Tape Sets—Pink & Charcoal; Other—cardstock, Brother Sewing Machine, Coats thread, Artist’s Loft Watercolor Pencils & Watercolors, Faber Castell Gelatos, Black Sharpie Pen.

 

At first I didn’t think I’d be able to use that many stickers on one layout, but the die cut idea really helped me.  Here, I used a few stickers from the  Necessities collection as well.  They make great little details on any project.

These alpha stickers are my favorite.  I love the shadow on them.  It makes layering them really easy, and they just look awesome.  I did add some touches of gold around the page, and these sparkly enamel arrows are the perfect touch.

 

Here you can see a little closer some of the stickers in the die cut.  I like that I have lots of fun sentiments on the page that I didn’t have to come up with on my own.  The stickers did the work for me!  I did a little bit of gold stitching here and there, too.

 

 

I hope this inspires you to think outside the box when it comes to stickers.  Try and think of a fun and new way to use them.  Sometimes an idea may spark that will help you use up the stickers you didn’t think you’d ever use.  This die cut idea is a great way to do that!

 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
