HOMETOWN USA SMALL FORMAT SCRAPBOOKING | with Nathalie

Summer is here, and the vibrant Hometown USA collection is sure to help you document your memories regardless of the size and format of your choice. Though, I keep 12x12 scrapbook layouts, my heart is in small format (traveler's notebooks and 6x8 albums) for my daily documenting. So, when I saw the new Doodle Cut die sets, the idea for these spreads came together.

I love how these entries turned out using the die cut pieces along with embellishments from the collection.

First, I use the new Festive Florals Doodle Cuts set to create my jar of flowers for my layout. I used the the dies and papers from the 6x6 paper pad, as well a papers from the Petite Prints 6x6 paper pads. I wanted to create the frosted look of a glass, so I decided to back the jar die cut with vellum.

I completed the rest of the layout with pieces from the collection, I made sure to add small clusters of Sprinkles to tie it all together.

For my next spread, I chose to work with the new Pocket Full O' Pride Doodle Cuts for my spread. This time, I used the dies to help me create a grid style design for my page.

I started by cutting all the pieces for my little pocket using the die and papers from the Hometown USA 6x6 paper pad, and coordinating textured cardstock. I created 3 pockets, two of them are set on the right of the page. Once the flowers were in place, I added a few pieces of Chit Chat to help me tell the story.

I finished this spread by adding my photo atop the last pocket. Then used Bits and Pieces and a few extra stickers to complete the spread. I love how these turned out, and I hope they inspire your next project featuring Hometown USA! XO

HOMETOWN USA POP UP CARDS | with Kathy

I love making 3D Cards.  They are so fun, and look great on display!!  As soon as I saw the Hometown USA collection and coordinating Festive Floral Doodle Cuts, I knew what I would make!  Take a peek...

For my first card, I started with the new Festive Florals Doodle Cuts.  I created a clear jar shaker using the dies, heavyweight acetate and the new Land that I Love Shakers.  The jar pieces and flowers were cut from the coordinating Textured Cardstock pack. I also added some sprinkles and America the Beautiful shaped sprinkles to the centers.  I used the Plaid to be American paper for my base and finished it off using a Chit Chat sentiment, a heart from the Land that I Love Shaped Sprinkles and that sweet little birdie from the Bluebirds Doodle Pops!

I love the acetate fireworks in the Bits & Pieces pack and decided to use them as the focus for my next card.

I started with some clouds that I die cut from some Lily White Cardstock.  I added the acetate fireworks around them, as well as some acetate and shaped sprinkle stars which I attached to some acetate strips to make them look like they're floating.  The base of my card was created using the Summer Celebration paper.

I finished the card with some Star Spangled Shaped Sprinkles and a sentiment from the Chit Chat Pack.
