DYI – Doggie Tags, hybrid project.

Hi, this is Lissa Marie, my very first post on Ju’s new blogging team!  I very excited to be here to show you what you can do with this awesome new release

Juliana and Traci made together!

Juliana asked her Facebook fans what they would like to see in a new kit, I responded, “Something with puppies”.  Sure enough she listened.  A delightful kit for any pet lover is right here.

In her brand new release “Fuzzy Friends”  they provided the cutest dog ID tags.

I hung them on my board so you can get a close up of what they look like as a finished product.

 How did you do that you ask?  Easy!

I took the  tag and opened it up in my photo editor, resized to 3 inches wide, it was already 299.99 dpi

Added the text to the tag, then linked them together dragging it onto the 8.5 x 11 canvas at 300 dpi

Since I have two new puppies I had to make two or you make extras since they are not metal but we are going to make them somewhat durable.  I flattened the layers and printed these on a thick white cardstock.

Now I made one of these last night and I just printed and cut it out with my Honeybee scissors and a hole punch, but I have a Silhouette Cameo cutter and decided to print and cut with the cameo for these two.

Once I did that, I sandwiched them in between some clear shelf liner from the dollar store and flattened them with a scraper like you would do a vinyl project, no bubbles.

No they are not really embossed it is just the amazing  job on the making of the tag that makes them look like it!

I then hand cut this out with my scissors and hole punch.  I could have laminated it but the laminate can get  hard and can be scratchy on the puppy and this stuff just clings to the cardstock and makes it more durable.

Then there you have it, hook a little key ring you can get at almost any store a box of rings and then all you have to do is put it on the leash!

 In about 15 minutes I had something to use for our time away from home and it looks great!

Plus you can make fabulous pages time after time with this kit!

Until next time,

May Favorite Fonts – Handwritten Scripts and doodles!

Happy Springtime! I love this time of year on the Eastern Coast of the US. The weather is sunny and warm, but not too hot. The flowers are blooming, the trees are all leafed out, and every time I turn around I feel like I’m off taking pictures again. As I sit down to record these favorite memories and photos, I find myself using handwritten scripts often. I love the more personal and whimsical feel of these handwritten fonts, especially since I do tend to doodle when I journal on my hybrid projects. Recently I find myself reaching for Brittney Murphy’s Always Forever, Vanessa Bay’s Always In My Heart , Jenna Sue Design Co’s Jenna Sue, and Kimberly Geswein’s Throw My Hands Up in the Air.

Here’s a sample of these fonts using Juliana’s Once Upon a Time kit
