Scrapbooking with Stampin’ Up Products!

Do you scrapbook your photos? Do you scrapbook events in your life? Do you scrapbook the kids or the grandkids…depending on where you are in your life? I made my first scrapbooks (I made four – one for each year of college) in a big spiral-bound books (probably 12 x 12 with plain gray paper) in college. I had them for many years and think I still have one or two of them. It’s fun to look back on those and remember my time in college. Amazing how quickly you forget but bringing the memories back is so much fun.

Stampin’ Up has the most amazing papers, DSP (Designer Series Paper) that can make AMAZING scrapbook pages. I’m going to be posting some photos of the pages I make (no photos included) every now and again. Here’s one I made today. None of this is glued down yet so perfectly set on the page.

I will mostly post 12″x12″ pages. I start with a 12″x12″ page of DSP, cut a strip of coordinating DSP at 2.5″ x 12″. Place that coordinating strip on the left or right. I then used a full page (8.5″x11) of basic white, on the other side. The FANTASTIC thing about 12″x12″ pages that if you have a 12″x12″ photo frame you can post the layout for a few days or weeks till you do a new one and then put the old one in the scrapbook and display the new one in the frame(s).

In this case I cut photo frames in black (4.25″ x 6.25″) to hold 4×6 photos. If you use some other size of photos just add 1/4″ of an inch in each direction and cut your frame layer. Move the elements around until you find the layout that works for you. It probably goes without saying but the frame for your photos can match the page I just use black because that’s what I have. I also included a couple of 3×3 photo frames so cut them 3.25″ x 3.25″.

For best results I usually cut the frames and maybe even a couple of extra ones and BEFORE gluing anything down I start playing with the layout. If you want a stamped sentiment somewhere on your page be sure you account for that in your layout. Or if you want to include a name like I did on these pages stamp, punch or cut-out so you also place it around on the layout, too.

Also stamp your sentiments either on a piece of card stock to move around when you’re playing with layout and then either use that OR be sure to stamp before you glue it down so if you mess it up you can turn your page over and use the back.

For this layout I used Covered In Sunshine Stamp Set and Alphabest Stamp Set along with the Best Label Punch seen above in the photo.

Occasionally I Use Items Stampin’ Up Doesn’t Carry

There are times when I use an item that isn’t carried by Stampin’ Up. Yes, of course, I sell Stampin’ Up and LOVE our products but once in a while I find something that we don’t carry but I love it. When I do I’m asked about that product. I am happy to share what it is and why I use it. I have saved a list on Amazon (though you don’t have to buy them there, of course). That list is here: Amazon. Feel free to reference the list and buy wherever you find them.

This is a link to the list on Amazon. I have listed the glue eraser, ink eraser, the fingernail polish organizer (in which I store my punches – see the organization video on YouTube if you’d like to see it in use).

I will continue to update this list as I use items and find them helpful. One item on the list is pins. I use those pins for the Art Glitter Glue with the metal tips also listed. It’s hard to find rust-proof pins (not nickel plated which rust) so you want stainless steel pins if you’re going to use them as a stopper for your glue.

Rising Prices

None of us like rising prices but it’s a fact of life, especially these days. The following price increase (below) isn’t that bad. Colored cardstock is only going up by 75 cents. Now if you’re buying enough to completely restock your stash that adds up in a hurry but with only a packet every month or so, truly it’s not that arduous. And white and thick white cardstock are only up 25 cents. Envelopes are up a dollar so that’s not fun but they’re reasonably priced so not so bad. Anyway, these are just my thoughts but I thought you should know. And below is a listing of the price changes you’ll see in a little over 2 weeks.
