Re-purpose and Reuse

Hi everyone, Connie here with a  re-purposed item from the JBS Mercantile.   I started with a suit sample binder:

and I made it into a nature book of our ranch~The pages are material so I just stapled my items on the material samples.

 

Connie used our popular Wren Paper line with this fabric book to create her creative album:

Louise Nelson created this birthday card for Jenni by combining vintage items with JBS products and artsy techniques.  What a gorgeous look she gets  by splattering paint and gluing your sewing thread into a well designed mess!


Jenni ......

Wishing....

You.......

A most Wonderful Wonderful Birthday :) :) :)

Thank you so so very much for your amazing inspiration and support!

It's Raining Cards!

Did you know the first of May marked a birthday for none other than our own Jenni Bowlin?!  And to celebrate our design team created wonderful cards and we'll be sharing them here!

The first is from Leah Farquharson:

Sending lots of birthday wishes out to the fabulous and talented Ms. Jenni Bowlin. She's an inspiration for any woman in the industry...

I wanted to offer up a little bit of inspiration in this post and mention that I actually lifted a few of the ideas from my last layout to create this card - because if you love something, it's worth repeating! To speed up the process, when I cut my feathers last time, I cut a whole page. It's an element that I love using in projects right now, and they'll never go to waste! :)

Here's a closer photo of the modeling paste detail...

Supplies:

Paper Tape - Houndstooth

for Mom from May

May Flaum here, getting started on my Mother's Day cards with the fabulous new paper tapes from JBS.

I love layering strips of tape and then either punching, die cutting, or layering with another piece of paper in some way! I think it is a fun way to use lots of tape and I always love that I can't quite predict the exact outcome since I'll be seeing only part.

Here you can see I put strips of tape onto a piece of cream cardstock, then I took my favorite kraft JBS paper and cut a heart out so that I could layer it over the top of my tape strip paper.

I stitched around the edge (a totally optional step), then used some ink around my edges, used rub-ons for my sentiment, and stamped pieces of this album stamp that I'm loving as well.

Whether alone or together - I sure do love all of my paper tapes!


Supplies:

Die-Cut and Perforated Papers - Stamp - Kraft

Rub-ons - Printer's Block Alpha

 Clear Stamp - Photo Album

Paper Tape - Bleached Woodgrain

Paper Tape - Double Chevron

Paper Tape - Houndstooth

Paper Tape - Notebook Grid

Paper Tape - Sage Lace

Paper Tape - Sideways Chevron

More Versatile Paper Tapes with Leah

Leah shows us many ways she used JBS Paper Tapes in one layout!

Checking in with some more ideas for using the brand new washi tapes that Jenni recently released! I decided that when I started this project I wanted to focus on how versatile washi is - and I think I accomplished my goal.

I started by layering this tape as an anchor or base for my design. And this one along the edges to give it a pop of color. I combined one more into the mix to create the washi banner pieces.

I used a number of the lovely Jenni Bowlin fiskars punches in different places throughout this layout, too.

My last use of the washi tape comes in the form of these feathers - I laid a bunch of the tapes down on a piece of cardstock and cut feathers using one of the exclusive silhouette cuts from  JBS Mercantile.

I hope I've given you a few ideas to spark your creativity!

Making Interactive Layouts with JBS Paper Tape

Amanda Jones shows us a great idea for using our JBS Paper Tapes!

It's no secret that I love Washi tape so I was thrilled to get my hands on Jenni's new tapes! I have used tapes in a variety of ways on my scrapbook pages in the past and for this layout I wanted to try something I've not done before.

I used the bleached woodgrain and double chevron Paper Tapes to attach the top sides of some pieces of patterned paper to my layout. I used the tape to create "hinges" so that the paper would be able to flip up and I could include my journaling/notes under the flaps. I did the same with the photo, so that it matched the page, although that piece does not flip up. I also created little tabs in the shape of banners with the tape to be used as taps to lift the flaps.

So that my page was balanced I used three strips of each tape around my page. I added a third tape, the sideways chevron, also three times to create more tabs and decoration.
