I've made 3 ATCs for today's post. I've used up all the scraps that I had left over from my previous projects. I've used different stitching to edge them and also distress ink. All the papers , sentiments and some of the embellies are from the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD.

Studio 12 shabby chic tag

Yay it's Friday and looking forward to the weekend as we are supposed to be getting some sun at last!!
Today it is my turn over on the Studio 12 blog to show a project and I'd like to show you a really easy but effective tag.

When I received my Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 from Nikky I print out lots of papers, sentiments, embellies etc and make my projects. When I've finished I end up with lots of left over bits and I'm definately NOT throwing them away. So I use them to make tags or ATCs. So for this tag I've used left over papers from the Welcome Home kit. I've covered the tag with one paper and then ripped some other contrasting paper into strips and layered it onto the tag. I edged it with walnut distress ink and also inked through some sequin waste to create the circles. I next added some of the tape embellie from the All Sewn Up kit and then machine sewed around the tag. With another scrap of paper which I tore and inked I added the Emily Bronte sentiment. Next I cut out 3 of the roses from the Heavenly Garden kit, inked them and adhered them to the tag using 3D pads. An easy but effective tag!!

Studio 12 We Love Candy

Today we are celebrating the launch of  Studio 12 on the Studio 12 at Polkadoodles blog. It's been an amazing success! Selling out several times on Create & Craft!

Here's what Nikky has to say:

So, to celebrate the launch and it's massive success so far, we've decided that we should have some candy up for grabs. So make sure you follow us, give us a little plug on your own blog and then leave us a comment with a link to your post beneath this one and we will select 3 lucky winners using a random number generator to receive one of the Studio 12 collections on download - woohooo!

In addition, as this is a brand new blog and we'd like to increase our follower numbers, when we get to 200 followers we'll add some additional candy and do another random draw too - so please get spreading the word about how fab the Studio 12 blog is! We really do hope you like what we're bringing you, we think it's a great mix of styles and diversity, the team are really helping us all see just how much we can actually do when it comes to hybrid crafting with Studio 12, we've gone far beyond the realms of just cardmaking I think and we're only just getting started!
The Design Team have all come up with a project to show you today for a little inspiration. Mine is an altered frame which I made out of a £1.50 wooden frame.

I modge podged the whole frame and then measured and cut out papers from the Welcome Home kit from the Studio 12 Picknix collection 1. I next printed and cut out the houses from the Heavenly Garden kit, edged them with walnut distress ink and used 3D pads to adhere them to the frame. The flowers were cut from the papers and inked around the edges and again adhered with modge podge. The little butterflies were punched using a Martha Stewart punch. I also added a little lace stickle to the middles. the middle is a sentiment from the Welcome Home Kit and it has been cut out and inked and put into the recess in the middle of the frame. I then went over the whole thing with the distress ink.

If you'd like to win some candy and see the other DT girl's fab projects then you need to go here.

I have used the gorgeous brand new CD from Studio 12 called Picknix Collection . Everything comes from the "Heavenly Garden" part of the CD. All the images have been edged with walnut distress inks.

Each day a DT member will be showing you a project , just to give you some inspiration on how to use the Picknix Collection 1 CD.

Studio 12 blog has launched!!

Today's the day of the official launch of the Studio 12 blog. Not a challenge blog but more of an inspiration blog for you to look at the projects the DT have created. Not so much colouring but hybrid crafting.

Nikky explains it better so if you pop over to the blog you can read it all for yourself.

For my first post I am showing one of my projects that I made for the Create &Craft  launch show for Studio 12. Not that you got to see much of the DT's samples as the CD sold out mega quick!!
My project is an ATC folder and 4 ATCs.

Polkadoodles Challenge

Friday again yay!!! and it's time for the Polkadoodles Challenge. This week our theme is

Summer Scene

Here's my summery card.

I've used the brand new Studio 12  Picknix Collection. There are 2 collections on the CD but for this card I've only used 2. The papers are from Welcome Home , the elements and sentiment are from the Heavenly Garden collection.The Heavenly Garden have both digi stamps and full colour embellishments on them. I took the bird house as a digi stamp and coloured it in with Copics. I've added stickles,clear star pen, twine and gems too to my card.

We'd love to see all your summery cards so please join in with us and maybe we'll get the sun back!!

Don't forget that Nikky is putting out DT calls for both Polkadoodles and Studio 12 all details are on the blog here.

Studio 12 Picknix Collection

Polkadoodles launched a brand new CD on Saturday on Create and Craft and it sold out within 30 minutes!! Too bad that none of the DT samples were shown as it went so quick!

Here it is  Studio 12 - Picknix Collection 1

Collection 1 has 3 parts - Heavenly Garden, Welcome Home and All Sewn Up.

A fantastic Hybrid Papercrafting collection - suitable for either digital crafting or just click and print!

A great collection of images which you will find truly versatile, whether you are a digital or traditional cardmaker or scrapbooker - EVERYONE can use this collection!

Studio 12 Collections are all about combining traditional papercrafting with digital techniques now available with 3rd party graphics programs - but quite simply, you can use the images however you wish!

So in the next few posts I'll show you my samples.
