Two great Scrapbooking techniques for you to use

There are so many great scrapbooking techniques, the variations are endless. In Scrapbooking ideas and solutions of today I'm going to focus on the piercing and painting stripes and gingham.

Striped and Gingham

This is a great scrapbooking technique that transforms plain paper in the background rather than should be suitable for many different themes. I use mostly Watercolor Paper medium weight, but any card weighted average should be fine. You can join the colour, or try to use different colored inks for a multicolored stripe or control. It doesn't matter if the lines out a little shaky, as will add character to the finished result. It is better to work on a large piece of paper or paper and then cut it to size, once it is dry.

To achieve this technique of great scrapbooking, dilute first some ink with water. The ratio is 1: 1 or just a bit more ink water, depending on the saturation of the color that you want to achieve. Soak a brush foam notched (available at most craft stores) in the ink and paint a line across the paper strips in one shot also. Repeat this process, and every new brush stroke carefully to produce a striped pattern on the whole body.
Once it has dried, use the same process to paint stripes perpendicular to the first strips to make a model of percale.

You could also make an undulating effect by moving the brush up and down a bit as it slip through your page.

You can also make small foam cutting notches notched at the end of a standard foam brush.

Piercing

Piercing is another great scrapbooking technique that produces a result that is subtle and sophisticated. This technique can take a long time, but it is quite therapeutic. You could also try with piercing instruments or needles of different diameters for variety.

First of all that you need to choose a template design that you can use your layout. Enlarge it to the appropriate size and track the reason on tracing paper. Lay the track on paper background and hold it in place with small pieces of tape. Place both layers on a foam mat and placed under a mat to protect your work space. Using your piercing instrument or needle puncture holes evenly spaced along all lines of reason.

Remove the tape and tracing paper to reveal the reason pierced. This will give a subtle but good taste at your disposal.

A solution for a 8 X 8 and the Great Idea of Scrapbooking page design

Here is a great way to use your random pictures of last yearon a 8 x 8 design.

Sometimes, we have odd photo that are on their own, but it is not enough to make a scrapbooking layout all en Here is a great scrapbooking idea and solution to use up the precious once outside pictures.

This design of 8 x 8, you will need 12 photographs, which is a picture for each month of the year. This design of 8 x 8 is designed to give a year of your reader of a general view, from January to December. Each month will be represented by a block of cardboard or paper colour, photos in and an envelope behind to store memories, relating to the month in particular or the picture.

Need 2 pages of background, two more with patterns or simple 8 x 8 pages reduced to 29.5 cm square and adhere to background pages.

You also need titles or stickers to compensate for its title, ribbons, flowers of paper, rub-ons and any other bits of memories, you may want to use.

Use your tape vertically on the outside of both sides of the composition of an inch or two away from the edge. You can then place most other tape 5 cm of this parallel to the first page. Titles will pass between the tapes, which measure how big wish to his title and ensure it fits between the tapes. Your title may be matte and glued down or put down in its design. A good idea to have a degree of running sideways until the page and the other with the letters in the right way around running on the other hand.

Then cut 12 blocks of 9 x 7 cm cardboard and printed paper 12 8 x 6.5 cm. Join the printed paperboard. Meet 6 of these to the page on the right and to left page 6 distributed uniformly on its design, with dual tape leaving the upper part of each block open. Beautify as needed or stick cut your photo size on the paper with drawings. If you don't have 12 photographs, only to decorate some of the pockets with writing or memories or other types.

Then do 12 labels of cardboard and 12 labels of paper with drawings that fits in every pocket, with the top outside. You can use these tags for journal or small images more. Swing tickets and Overriders normal for the month of the year and the other labels to use as you choose.

Be surprised a lovely what will look like this design of 8 x 8.
