Here it is - the December ScrapSimple Club!


Do you love the look of papercut illustrations and art? It is an art form seen around the world and has been adapted to many different cultural styles. There are beautiful antique and modern representations everywhere! I love it so much, I made Papercutting the theme of the December 2013 ScrapSimple Club. 

When you're a member of the Scrap Girls ScrapSimple Monthly Club, you get all of the newest ScrapSimple digital scrapbooking looks at a great price. If you bought all of these items individually, your cost would be $19.15. However, if you join the Scrap Girls monthly club, your cost is only $6.99!

Five products are included in this month's club:
In addition, as a subscriber, you receive special Members-only content that is not available for sale in the boutique.  The value of this extra content is $10 or more - which is more than the club itself. This month I offer:

Two tutorials giving you guidance on how to use the products in the club.
  • Using ScrapSimple Word Art Templates: Hanging Words
    to Create Custom Word Art
  • Using Blending Mode and Styles to Customize Papercutting Paper and Embellishment Templates
 You'll also receive two bonus items:
 
Papercut Ladies Embellishment Mini
Papercutting Nano Collection
All the products in the club are built around the paper templates, which include traditional and modern styles of papercutting:

Here's a layout showing how you can use the product.  I love how Angie used just a portion of the paper to create a canopy over the happy couple:

Also included in the club is an embellishment template set.  The leaves include lifted shadows.

ScrapSimple Embellishment Templates: Cut Leaves

 The leaves are wonderfully complimentary to the paper templates - as you can see in these layouts:

“Beauty” layout by Elisha Barnett
Then we have Brush Set: Papercut Frames, which includes a bonus bevel and paper texture style set:

Brush Set: Papercut Frames

I'd originally intended for these to be an embellishment set, but during the design process I decided that a brush set, along with the included PNG files and the bonus style set would give you more bang for your buck.  Here are some layouts using the brush set in different ways:
“Watch Molly Grow” layout by Elisha Barnett
“The Right Hat” layout by Elisha Barnett
 In the first example I used the heart frame to connect the the photos together visually.  In the second example, I used the frame brush to create a mat to anchor the photos  visually in the center of the page.  I used the bevel style to create an embossed look around the edge.

The alpha templets have three layers - a base layer, a shadow layer and a cut leaves overlay layer.  They can be used together or separately.

 I love how Melanie used them in this layout:

“True Love” layout by Melanie Cockshott
And finally, we have ScrapSimple Word Art Templates: Hanging Words which includes nine words and nine icons to dangle from papercut strips. Customize the placement of your words and icons.

Valerie used them to compliment her title in this lovely layout:

I hope you'll enjoy using these products.
