My card is started-but I can't seem to get it finished. I don't like it one little bit............

SodScrap Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 February 23 As digital scrappers we tend to collect three items more than most. You may be a style junkie. You maybe a brush junkie. You maybe a font junkie. Of course you maybe afflicted by all three. Start a new layout in your preferred size. You may add as many photos, papers and embellishments as you wish. Today add three different brushes. They can be from the same set but they must all be visible. Find out tomorrow how many styles you need to use.

Florida granny Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello, my name is Florida Granny. I'm a brush junkie. Um... and also a font junkie. Um... Ok... I admit it: I'm a style junkie, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have come to the right support group errr uhhh um..enabling group! I thought the same thing Diane. However, don't use brushes very often. Ohhhh...I have LOTS of brushes, just don't use them. Styles are my first love of digital scrapping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sign me up for this group! I think I forget to use brushes because I don't have them organized like I do papers or embellishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenrou Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This subject may be off topic at the moment-but I bought some cards for all the birthdays we have coming up (my printer is pouting right now.) and found some interesting ways to do cards. They are making them like we do, with a front design glued to a folded card. Then they are glueing an inside folded paper printed with the message. That is easier than trying to print on all sides. Some of the cards are printed bold colored events or figures (like a silhouette of a boy riding a bicycle, with no detail.) I got one with two figures doing sports, just collaged, like an art journal type of thing. I like it! So during our down time, I've made several "fronts" to get printed since I already have folded cards and envelopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Well I'm certainly a brush junkie and probably a template junkie as well good job wee are all in the right place then My card is completed just waiting to upload. Off to do next task.....my only problem is choosing which brush to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Brushes just aren't my thing at all. I've found 3 to go with my 6 photos but I'm struggling to know where to put them. I really love these challenges - they make me think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapgran Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 DH tells me I can't possibly use all the things I have bought. How does he know? I've given it a darn good go but (as much as I hate to say it) I think he may be right. My addiction seems to be styles & templates but hmmmmm! I seem to have lots of collections & brushes too. Off to start this task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelle Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Style junkie for sure, and I have lots of brushes but have only just started thinking of ways to use them... lately to grunge up my backgrounds. I also just discovered fonts, and finally figured out how to load them, so I bought several new fonts last month. And actions... and collections... and Nanos... and... and... This is why DH bought me a huge EHD for Valentine's Day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to think of how not to have to print an inside while still looking "professinal, I like the inside folded paper idea. And, I laughed at your printer pouting. So funny! I use this method a lot, Jean. You can also design the inside of your card in PS on an 8.5 x 11 and use guide lines dividing your paper in half horizontally and vertically giving you four sections. You can use the same design and sentiment (or different ones, your choice) centered in the quarters and print and cut and have 4 card "innards" to tack on the inside of four cards. It is fun to use different types of paper on the inside ... I like to use vellum a lot. It is also cool to use a design or element from an SG collection to coordinate with the outside of the card you have designed. Often I lower the opacity of the background design so it is just visible and then type the sentiment over top of it. Other times I will just coordinate the design in with the sentiment.
