Katie Pertiet Designs "Home for the Holidays" digital collection

Once in a while, I find a collection that warms my heart. This is one of them. Katie Pertiets digital collection, Home For The Holidays transformed into paper. I created printables in Photoshop to the size I wanted all of the elements, and fussy cut each one out. Sometimes I run them through my Silhouette Cameo, but fussy cutting sooths my soul. I started with a 12x12 piece of white cardstock. I stitched around the borders a few times using straight and zig zag stitches. Such a wonderful  thing to do is print the digital Blendables onto Washi paper. I cut them up and used them on the background  before I started

 all of the layering along with splattering some color to match the colors of the papers. 

Once I cut the elements out, I started my layering. I added an 8.5x8.5 square of printed solid paper over the base lifted it with cardboard underneath. I printed the houses on cardstock, fussy cut the strip of houses, backed them with cardboard and adhered it towards the bottom. 

I die cut the poinsettias from the  Sacked Solid Paper Pack 01, layered them, filled the middle with Prills and dusted the flowers with clear glitter for sparkle. I also die cut spiral flowers to tuck in-between the floral clusters. The leaves were fussy cut from the collection. 

Here is a closeup of the flowers. 

I used jute to string through the ephemera. and tucked it slightly behind the houses.

Katie Pertiet Design " Vintage Mini Mix 21" Digital to paper

 Hello beautiful crafters! Today I am bringing to you what you can create when you convert digital designs to paper. Katie Pertiet Designs has hundreds and hundreds of papers, stamps, blendables printables, svg's...Just check out the SHOP. 

This layout was created with a few collections from Katies designs and a few dies and an embossing folder I have in my stash, Use your tools!!! I have a We R Memory envelope punch that create envelopes in many sizes. And I created all of the paper flowers on this layout. 

I used Vintage Mini Mix 20 digital collection for the most part of this layout. I just printed the designs onto 110lb white cardstock. Since I don't have a wide format paper, and some of the collections in the shop only have the 12x12 version, I just print them up in standard letter size and piece where I can. No big deal. It works.  All of the elements bring it together. 

The flowers were created with Sizzix Bigz Black Eye Susan die. I die cut watercolor paper, then colored them with Katie Pertiets Laurel Garden Magical Shakers from Lindys Stamp Gang. The colors are luscious and perfect for the collection I used. I curled a brown pipe cleaner into a small round, edged it with some acrylic paint and placed it in the middle of the flower. The fern were also die cut from watercolor paper and colored with Lazing in the Laurels from the Laurel Garden Magicals. It is a beautiful deep forest green. 

The frame is from the Evergreen Season Wooden Frames. I created a printable with the frames, I printed them on heavy 110lb white cardstock, used my Cameo to cut them out, then machine stitched around the frames. To create the envelope that the photo is tucked into, I used one of the red solid papers from the Season Of Joy scrapbook bundle , I used my WE R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board, and after I put it together, I ran it through my Vagabond using a decorative embossing folder. I inked the raised parts ever so lightly with Distress ink in Vintage Photo. I also printed up the Swatch Ephemera 01,cut them apart, inked the edges, and now I have a stack of ephemera when I need it. I used a couple of the pieces on the layout as it compliments the tag that is in the Mini Mix 20 collection. 

The elements in the Vintage Mini Mix 20 collection are beautiful, windows, owls, butterflies, and branches. Everything I love in a paper collection. The Autumn woodsy feeling takes me deep into the forest behind my home. I did die cut some Sizzix Tim Holtz skeleton leaves and colored them with the Laurel Garden Magicals. I die cut Donna Salazar Bitty Blossom flowers (retired) and tucked them in here and there. 

I really enjoyed creating this layout. I get so excited when the paper is coming through the printer and I get to see the gorgeous digitals come to life on paper. Please go check out
