Tuesday Tutorial with Diane

Hi Guys! I LOVE all the digitals in the Citrus Twist shop and wanted to show you how easy it is to create your own TN sized pages using the digital journal cards. Plus, how to create your own stickers using the FREE cut apart files!

By simply opening the PDF in Photoshop and resizing the digital cards to 8.25 x 4.25, you can recreate your favourite cards into TN pages in minutes. Some cards can be printed as si, and some need a tiny bit of fangling to make sure that backgrounds and patterns reach all the way to the top of the page, without cutting off any text or design elements you love.

Once you've printed your TN pages and created your stickers, pages come together in no time with a photo and some journalling. Couldn't be easier!

So here's the tutorial for creating TN pages and stickers from the CTK digital files ...

Let me know if you have any questions and don't forget to post your layouts in the Facebook Fan Page so we can all see!

Documenting Memories with Nathalie

Hi there!  I am so happy to be sharing my first project using the new Heartbreaker kits.  This month's kits are beautiful, and there is the gold!!!   You are going to love them all!    For this project i combined the Scrapbook kit, embellishment kit, and the new Conversation Starter 2 stamp set.

I love our Goddaughter so much, and after having her visit us from Ecuador last month, i was so inspired to work on her Scrapbook.   For this page, i used  liquid watercolor from Pinkfresh Studio -available at the CTK store- to create the background. 

I used  a few cut files available for free at the CTK digital shop to create the wreath and large floral cluster on the page.  This month's Heartbreaker kit is filled with beautiful papers, so i pulled a few of them to back the cut file, and the picture of my little one.

A bit of foam adhesive was used to set  all the pieces in place on the page.  First I used a combination of embellishments from the Shine On collection which are available in the Scrapbook Kit and embellishment kits along with the Conversation Starter 2 stamp to form the title.   I created a subtitle at the bottom of the wreath using a few Pinkfresh Studio stickers available in the Scrapbook kit combined with the clear stickers from the embellishment kits.

I added a few more subtle details around the the layout using the cut apart elements --available for free at the CTK shop -- and some gold stickers from the embellishment kit.   I love CTK stamps , they are so versatile, in this case, i softly curved them to add the sentiment around the circumference of the wreath.   After a few lines of journal the page was completed.  The following video will show you a more in-depth look at how this page was created:

Love how this turned out!   The Heartbreaker kits are so fun to play with, you are going to fall in love with them!

Remember to share your projects created with the kit on the CTK fans page on Facebook, or on social media.  As always do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions on how this came together.
