Aloha & Mahalo

We always love when our customers make cards using our very own laser cuts! These are exclusive to Island Scrapbooking, so you can only get them here! These were all made by Jenny R. Thanks Jenny!

Distressed Hula Girl

Aloha! Wanted to share another card that was made for the Card Drawing at the last Craft Night. Michele made this awesome hula girl card using Island Scrapbooking custom laser cuts. She layered it over a distressed background that looks like a hawaiian sunset and then over some cork. Love it!

Did you notice the background paper? Well, if you try to look for it in the store, you probably won't find it. Michele got some peach colored paper that was already embossed in white swirls. She wanted to give the paper some oomph- so she used the spiced marmalade distress inks and added a layer of color over the paper for a more vibrant effect.


Here's a close up of that hula girl....

Hope you have a great week! You'll definitely want to stop by the store sometime this week... we just received in a HUGE order and brought back some old favorites and some new stuff. See you soon!

Butterfly Thank You

Since we now carry new sentiment laser cuts like Thank You, Happy Birthday and With Sympathy, Tracy decided to make a thank you card using them. The background is stamped using a Hero Arts large leave image and then a Labels # 9 die was cut from this cute Bo Bunny butterfly paper. To accent the card, she used the Large Butterfly punch and made the wings flutter but doubling them up. The bottom was punched using a Martha Stewart arch border punch. If you look at the Thank You in person, she made it look like wood!
