Katie Pertiet Designs ARToptions MIni Mix 33 Bundle

 Can you imagine a never ending supply of your favorite paper collections?? Imagine no more. As long as you purchase digital collections, you have them forever, and can print as many times as you want. I use Katie Pertiet Designs digitals in my projects. Printing what I need to complete each one. And no worries if you dont have a printer that prints in 12x12 format. I use 8.5x11 inch printed sheets to create my projects. For this 12x12 layout, I printed up Transfer 1 digital from ARToptions Minimix 33 and cut it diagonally and used a piece of 12x12 white cardstock to adhere it to. I machine sewed around the edges of the layout using straight stitching and zig zag. 3 rows all around. The frame is a Prima resin frame that I poured, coated in white gesso, and used Lindys Stamp Gang Magical Shakers for color, topping it with some gold wax matching the colors in the papers. 


The ARToptions Minimix 33 Bundle has everything you need in a collection to create a project. I ran some images in photoshop creating a page that I could fussy cut images from. Word strips and buttterflies in abundance11 You can even create a print and cut for your Silhouette, Cricut or any print and cut machine. Katie Pertiet Designs has so many collections that already have print and cuts that you can use in your electronic cutting machines to make it easier. But even those who love to fussy cut will find a world of designs at your disposal.  


I found this gorgeous bird from the Birdsong Print and Cut Pack 03, image 39, and it matched perfectly. I used scraps from the collections to create rolled roses. Love that you can use just scraps. 


I created all of the flowers on this layout. I printed up papers From Minimix 12 images 5 and 7, and the Classic Pooh Friends Like You Solids Paper Pack image #3.  I printed on both sides of a 8.5x11 inch cardstock and die cut flowers using various dies in my stash. Once the flowers were assembled I used fine glitter to make them glimmer. 


I love creating my own flowers, because I get to choose shape, style, size and color. Katie Pertiets collections in the shop make it so easy to do this. With so many solids in paper collections, there is always something to mix and match to perfection!
