Using WorldWin Papers in Construction...

In the construction of mini albums, that is! Here on the WorldWIn blog, we usually share with you how pretty the papers are, and we show you what amazing things you can make where the papers are the "star of the show."

Today, I want to show you how amazing WorldWin products are BEHIND THE SCENES!

I used WorldWin Chipboard and Cardstock as the foundation for this mini album. Graphic 45 is a design team sponsor, so I also use the Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport paper collection.

I am a huge fan of the WorldWin Chipboard and use it for a lot of different things. It is very sturdy and easy to work with. 

Here is a little video tutorial to show you how to create the actual base of the album.

I used a combination of the chipboard and two weights of black cardstock: Smooth Black which is 95# weight and ColorMates Heritage Black which is 65# weight. 

For this sporty mini, I used almost a full 12 x 12 pad of the Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport papers, plus I added in some of the G45 retired collections that seemed to "match." 

This mini is 5 x 7 x 2 inches. It is a fun size, and jam packed with pocket and flaps!

Here is a peeky at what the album looks like opened up. You can see it is chock full of goodness! The WorldWin cardstock is very nice weight to work with, and stands up to the "abuse" of a mini album. 

Each page is simply cardstock, layered together. As they say, I don't make anything without WorldWin cardstock! I think I may have used up a whole pack with this project! {wink}

Here is another video to give you a look at each page of the mini. You can see every pocket and flap.

Thank you, Graphic 45, for sponsoring the WorldWin Papers team! We appreciate you!

Chalkboard Bookmarks

Hello! Gloria with you again. I have created a pile of bookmarks, perfect to give as little back-to-school gifts. The chalkboard stamping technique is so popular right now, that I decided to incorporate it into my little bookmark making party!

I went through my stash of stamps looking for interesting text combinations that also would work well for bookmark sentiments. Then I sorted through my die cut templates to find shapes that would work for bookmarks. I actually had a few bookmark templates, but I also pulled out other shapes that seemed to work well for this project.

I cut all of the shapes from ColorMates Heritage Black cardstock. The smooth finish on the Heritage Black is perfect for my "mini chalkboards." I stamped all the sentiments with white ink, and I embossed each sentiment with white embossing powder. I was a little "messy" with my powder to give that chalkboard look.

I used some white pigment ink to rub the edges of each die cut shape. I also smudged the paper a bit, all for that realistic chalkboard look.

I die cut some background shapes from Treasures Pitch Black and Textured Red Denim cardstock, and used a tiny bit of printed cardstock. This a good way to use up scraps of cardstock!  I traced some lines around the edges of the shape with a white pen.

 I created this flag-shaped bookmark so that it would slip over the top of the page. The paper button and twine don't add much bulk, making the bookmark the perfect thickness.

These three bookmarks are super simple. I used just a bit of ribbon and some paper scraps to finish them. To make the bookmarks a bit more sturdy, I die cut some of the shapes a second time and glued the two together.

This is one of those projects you can do in bulk in an evening.

Thanks for looking!

Let's Grunge with Kraft!

Hello, it is Gloria here and once again, it's my day to post. I have more projects to share that I have made for other teams and used WorldWin Papers. (I have been trying to do double duty with my projects for the past few weeks so that more people can see what WorldWin has to offer!)

This is a layout that I made using WorldWin Kraft cardstock as the background. I also used Heritage Black and Heritage White.

I inked, sprayed, stamped, and grunged up the cradstock. I love that the paper din not buckle or wrinkle! I used a bit of Dark Emerald Isle to die cut the vines.

The Heritage White and Black are both great quality paper to work with for layering. And I love that the white is smooth!

Thanks for looking.

Here are two cards I made with WorldWin paper front and center! I made these for my Couture Creations team. They have wonderful dies and embossing folders, perfect for using with WW cardstock!

The Tour Starts Here-With Cardstock!

Hey, it's Katrina here today on the blog.  We all love our pattern paper, but I wanted to challenge myself with an entire layout made with cardstock.  I did allow for embossing to add dimension and texture, but no pattern paper at all!

I used 7 different colors of the ColorMates Smooth Cardstock, Kraft and then Treasures in the black.

I used my Silhouette to cut out shapes from my Kraft paper.  I backed the Kraft with Light Totally Tan.  I loved the subtle color against the Kraft. 

I embossed a square of each color to back the corners with.  Using two of the petals in Kraft, I embossed them with the same folder as the color I used them with.  As you can see, both the ColorMates and the Kraft embossed perfectly!

 I added flair buttons to the middle of the flowers to create a center.  Plus they give the layout a fun look.  You could also use brads or buttons for this.

The Kraft petals are popped up for some added dimension for the layout.  I love how crisp the embossing is.

So, pull out that cardstock and challenge yourself to an all cardstock layout.  You might just fall in love with it!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Go out and get some WorldWin Paper, you will love it!
