Too cute to spook - Jenni Bowlin Studio

Right now, the cutest Jenni Bowlin Studio Vintage Halloween kit is on sale! I have used it, along with the very versatile Printer's Block Alphas to create this hybrid Halloween party invitation.

The pocket was created by printing off some ‘Starry Night’ paper onto plain card stock. It took a bit of time to work out the double sided printing, hehe! I have tiled the star print at the bottom a bit, so I could have the pattern show when I folded it over. The children and pumpkin have been fussy for interest. Machine stitch your pocket closed.

The invitation title was half printed directly onto the design and half printed off onto card stock and cut out. This adds great dimension. Machine stitch it on for even more definition.

The reverse is a journalling card, increased to a large size. For a seamless look, sample the cream colour of the card and give your background the same colour so you don’t get a white edge. The design of this card has been set in a word procession programme (I use InDesign).

For a final flourish, the cute kitty has been given a slick of Glossy Accents to make her pop on the paper.

I'm sure you'll agree, it's too cute to spook! For more info and to see the other DT girl's awesome examples, head over to the JBS Inspiration blog.

Movie Star - May Kraft It Up!

I am stunned at how quickly the weeks are flying by... Mid May and time for a little Kraft it Up layout which should be on the blog imminently!

The theme this month is 'Vintage':

This month we want to see some vintage inspired layouts. Your layout can be what we would describe as classic vintage or modern vintage and anything in between!

The only requirement's are that you create your layout on Kraft Patterned Paper or Kraft Cardstock and your entry must be created for this challenge ONLY!!!

I am a huge fan of Vintage goodies and for this month's challenge I have taken inspiration from some 1930's movie posters featuring my beautiful Grandmother as the young starlet!

This is very much a hybrid project as I pretty much designed the layout on my computer, then set about printing and creating elements separately, to transfer to paper.

I cut the title with my Cameo, creating an outline effect with the 'offset' option.

Don't forget you have until the end of the month to link up your entries! See you there!
