Citrus Twist Kits - Free digital files and December Daily update

Hi everyone!

I made some digital files that you can grab for free on our Citrus Twist Kits Facebook fan page.

There are many ways to use them: print and cut, cut file, overlay on a picture, print on a page/card, use as a stamp and color it and cut it out... the possibilities are infinite!

Here are a couple examples:

The first one comes from DT member Mira, who made a cut file out of the Make a Wish:

I love how she used the negative cut  and added a chipboard star.

Here I printed the "our elf was here on a card that was meant to become a journaling card. I ended up punching it out with a circle punch and using it as an embellishment in a small cluster.

Then I used it on my photo. It's very easy to do. You simply open the .png file of your choice in Photoshop. The writing is on a transparent background so you can grab it with the move tool and slide it on your photo that you also have open in Photoshop. That's it. :)

I decided to make a journaling card with the little light post. I printed it on watercolor paper and cut around to get a 4x6 card. I then painted it with watercolor paint, being careful not to go over the lines with my paintbrush because the ink from the printer will bleed. 

Finally I printed "make a wish" directly on my background.

To make it grey I simply changed the opacity in Photoshop.

Here's how:

Open your file and place it over a background of the size of your choice. I'm working with 6x8 for my December Daily album. Select the layer of the file on the right and you see just above it there's the opacity. Slide the little slider and the color fo your digital file will change to a paler grey.

I hope you'll download all the files and make good use of them!! And when you use them, please share with us on Instagram using #CTKdigitalfiles or on our Facebook Fan page. :)

Have fun creating!!!

Hey everyone!

Today I'd like to share my Project Life spread for the week of Halloween.
I made it entirely with One little Bird Designs kits: Ready Set Go, Sugarcoated, Pedal Pusher, Luna and Dialogue.

For the title card I cut out my letters with my Silhouette in glittery orange cardstock and I printed a frame from the kit on a piece of white cardstock.

I placed them on the card with a little bit of adhesive and I ran them through my sewing machine.

I then placed a black cat my daughter had made me a couple of weeks ago.

This is a 4x6 card with lines for the journaling and a blank space on the right for a photo. I used a frame found in the Sugarcoated kit to print my photo.

For the "this Way" card I cut a 3x4 card out of glitter cardstock and placed the arrow and the stars over it.

I try to repeat the glitter. Here I used it as a mat for my photo.

I try to put elements under the picture and over the picture to give more depth.

This glittery card is from MAMBI. I left a white space under the photo to give it a Polaroid look.

I love that paper look.

This little sign post is also very cute!! And it was perfect for the story of my little girl who was tired of walking.

And so ends my Halloween week. Come back tomorrow for a traditional Halloween layout.

Hi everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you a layout I made with the new Honeycrisp Collection of One Little Bird Designs.

This collection is perfect for your fall layouts. I have put together photos from our trip to the corn maze and our afternoon at the park.

I've cut out the word "autumn" in vellum and stitched it in place to form a horizontal line on my layout. I placed photos above the line and under the line.

I cutout the beautiful frame with my Silhouette and added small details.

See you tomorrow for more One Little Bird Designs. :)
