It's February Reveal Day at Citrus Twist Kits

Good morning everyone. While our kits were revealed online yesterday, our reveal blog post is going out one day late. We have some fun kits to share with you here today. February's kits have as much new product as we could possible get in time to squeeze into them.

This month we are featuring a Main kit subscriber special: sign up for a 3- or 6-month Main kit subscription and you'll get a free 6x6 Studio Calico Printshop paper pad with your first kit. For current subscribers: refer a friend who signs up for a 3- or 6-month Main kit subscription and you'll get a free Printshop paper pad, too. (Please have your friend mention your name in the comments section at checkout.)

You've already seen great sneaks and organizational tip ideas from our Saturday, February 1st, blog hop, and now the full kit photos! Are you ready?

Good Life (our February Main kit) is a playful blend of soft primaries and neutrals. This kit also includes a couple of vintage book pages, lace and buttons. Subscriber Emily (Texas) helped do the search for the vintage buttons for this kit. Thank you Emily. From thickers, to enamel dots, to chipboard to chip, ribbon and more, we know you will have lots to play with.


With February as transition month from mid-season to spring releases, we are thrilled to feature Kelly Purkey's debut Mon Ami line with BasicGrey. The 6x6 Mon Ami paper pad is darling. We've added in Daily Flash journal card paper and Dandelion alphabet, plus lots more.


Watch for more layouts made with the soft, sweet Just Right add-on kit! We hope you'll share your layouts in our gallery. Complete with linen ribbon, a chipboard alphabet, stickers, mini envelope, tag, POW! glitter paper, doilies, handcrafted linen flower and enamel dots, you'll be able to make some great layered pages with this kit.


Our February This is My Life embellishment kit is graced with flairs, frames, ephemera and stickers:


This month's PL embellishment kit features Kelly Purkey's (BasicGrey) Mon Ami stickers and Elle's Studio bit & pieces.


This month's Pattern Paper kit even goes with the Just Right Add-on kit!


Our monthly add-on stamp is now available by subscription (or individually). Our stamps have been shipping world-wide and are designed so you'll be able to use them over and over again.


The February Solid Paper kit will double up your Main kit solids. This kit includes one each of Fountain, Butter, Vanilla and Smoke (American Crafts).


Don't forget about our 6x6 Printshop paper giveaway, yours free with a 3- or 6-month Main kit subscription, or for current subscribers who refer a friend!

It's January Reveal Day at Citrus Twist Kits!

A New Year, a fresh start and lots of bright color coming your way this month from Citrus Twist Kits. This month's kits will be like a small burst of sun in your kit box this month. To ring in the New Year we are offering a refer a friend subscriber special. When you refer a friend who subscribes by January 15th to either the Main or Pocket Life kit, both you and your friend will get 3 exclusive Citrus Twist Kits stamps from past kits. (These stamps are not for sale individually!) Make sure the friend you refer mentions you in the comments section at checkout.

Our new Kits page is easier to navigate now. You can check out our kits here at Citrus Twist Kits Subscriptions.

We'll start with January's Main scrapbook kit, "You are My Sunshine." You can see lots of color in this kit with many neutral paper options. With this kit you can go big and bold or neutral with small pops of color.


Next is our January Pocket Life kit "Magic Days." It's delightful to see the Design Team sneaks rolling in for this colorful kit:


"Love Always" our kit add-on for the month will transition you right into February. The new chip board shapes from October Afternoon are too cute!


Next we have our "Epic Fun" Embellishment kit. If you've been subscribing to our kits for a while, you know that our Embellishment and Pocket Life Embellishment kits always coordinate with our Main and PL kits. We keep these at an affordable price for those of you (like me) who can't get enough embellishments to grace your pages:


"Rainbow Sherbet" will bring back those lazy summer day memories of ice cream on the boardwalk. The low-profile foam alphabet works perfect for Pocket Life. Small chalkboard stickers will be a fun addition for your PL projects this month:


This month's "Shine On" Pattern Paper kit is a great mix of paper to make your kits go even further. From geometric to floral, you'll love the blue, orange, yellow and pink in this kit:


Our Solid Paper kit allows you to double up on solids for your Main kit and always matches your Pocket Life kit, too. The title banner might read "pattern paper" but this kit has one each of 4 solids, as shown below:


And last comes the newest subscription addition to Citrus Twist Kits: Our 6-month stamp subscription. You'll still be able to buy the monthly stamp individually, but we've listened to your requests to also make this a subscription so you won't have to think about purchasing every month. Here is January's "Silver Linings" stamp that you will be able to use over and over again:


Here is a video to view Melissa's unveiling of our January kits:



Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful 2014 filled with many wonderful scrapbookable moments! We can't wait to see what you do with the kits when you post your creations in our Gallery.

Tuesday Tutorial with Trina: Layering

Hi, it's Trina again, this time sharing the technique I use for working with patterned scrapbooking paper like Studio Calico's new Printshop "Monochrome" from the Main December scrapbook kit. The backside of Monochrome is a wonderful collage-style pattern. If you are one who finds this type of patterned paper difficult to work with, this tutorial shares my process. I love layering and collage paper makes it extra fun!

If you are a subscriber you can login and see the December kits now here Citrus Twist kits page.

Here is the layout I made:


To begin my page I cut elements out of the collage paper that I liked best, including items like the camera, music notes and other ephemera. I cut out shapes in strips, circles and fussy cut items like the camera. I also cropped my photo so I could build layers up behind it. Here are some of the many pieces I cut out (plus my photo). I wasn't sure which ones I would use, but wanted enough available to grab from. The C-shaped piece of paper was to stretch my paper further. I used this to tuck behind the layered photo frame.


Next I cut a few frames to tuck behind my photo from some of the patterned green and patterned black paper that came in the kit. Each frame is a little larger than the last so they will peak out from behind the layer in front. I even cut one of the layers out of the collage paper.


I cut three strips out of three of the patterned papers from the Main kit. I cut these by hand and wanted them to have slightly uneven edges. I used these as a base behind the photo and photo layers on my page:


First I glued down the strips. Next I glued down the bottom (or back) frame for my photo, then layered each slightly smaller frame on top, building them up until I glued the photo down. I don't glue right to the edges of my paper so I can tuck some of the little collage pieces behind. Then I got down to playing. I tuck the little shapes here and there to see what I like best. I don't glue them down until I like what I see. This truly is play time. I added the silver washi tape as an after thought:


Then it was time to reach for my embellishments to put down on top of the background strips and photo and to fill some white space of the background using things like the etched wood badges and gray glitter stickers and more of the collage paper ephemera.

Next I covered my photo with a piece of scrap paper to protect it, splashed (really, I splash!) a little Heidi Swapp Tinsel Color Shine randomly on my page and stamped a few phrases.


This picture shares some of my layers of cut outs from the collage paper. I scattered the circle shapes here and there on my page and adhered one of the new Studio Calico Printshop cork shapes. The very last thing I did to the page was do some layered strips at the top and bottom, using bits of the "Monochrome" and other patterned papers:


Thanks for visiting our blog today. Full reveal is on December 5th!

We have 2 options for you: a PL kit and a regular kit. Our regular Christmas kit comes with a PDF class, led by Design Team member and Inspiration Girl, Kasia Tomaszewska!

Let's start off with our Main "Celebrate" kit. The colors of this can be used for spring, summer, vacation and everyday life photos:

Bright, colorful, happy colors from our "Lovelies" Pattern Paper kit are perfect for scrapbookers and Pocket Lifers alike! It was difficult to decide which side of the paper to use in this month's kit:

We asked Design Team member (and our social media expert) Melissa Stinson to design this month's "Carefree" Kit Add-on using brand new product. She created a colorful and embellishment packed kit perfect for everyday life, back-to-school photos and for those who love lots of rich color.

For PL subscribers, you can trim these papers down into PL cards or use them as backgrounds, together with paper from your PL 6 x 6 paper pad, to create scrapbook layouts:

Oct TYPE Solid Kit

October's monthly stamp add-on is all about food! "Good Eats" is one of those stamps you can use over and over. A little birdie tells me we'll offer our Stamp add-ons as a subscription in the new year!

Now onto our reveal!

So for those of you who like to dive in and see it all on film, we are delighted to share this narrated video reveal of all of our September kits: 



Christmas Dailies Coming Soon!
Our Christmas Daily products have started to arrive and continue to roll in. (Out of respect for trademarking of the DD name, we have renamed these kits "Christmas Daily".) This year we have 2 Christmas Daily kits available (one for scrapbookers and one for PL'ers). Because so many of you like to choose the album you work with, these kits will not come with an album but we'll have album choices available for sale in our store. We will  also offer a Christmas-themed stamp sold separately. Our current subscribers will get to purchase the Christmas Dailies by presale, prior to release to the general public. Watch our social media channels for sneaks and our newsletter update about how and when you can purchase your Christmas Daily.

We hope you have enjoyed our sneaks and look forward to seeing your creations in the Citrus Twist Kits Gallery.
