Pink Paislee products aren’t

manufactured; they’re crafted.

Each product we develop must

meet our impeccable standards

from design to delivery in

order to carry our Pink

Paislee name. It begins with

original design, carefully

selected color palettes, and

a strong attention to detail.

The first time you put our

Bente shows us a great way to use doilies to create movement on her page.

By distressing the edge of our papers to be more ditressed Bente gives this

layout such a worn and weathered feel. The ‘my sweet’ title looks right at

home nestled over the photo and we love how she outlined the stickers in a

HEART EMBELLISHMENT Use the chalkboard glimmer mist to give subtle color to the Artisan Elements pieces. I sprayed the pieces and then used a paper towel to dab off the excess and rub the mist into the etched designs. I cut a heart out of an unused section of a frame to embellish my label. I then stitched around my heart using baker’s twine and a paper needle.

ART MAGNET Paint the frame with red acrylic paint,then spray it with chalkboard glimmer mist. Then, use a paper towel to gently dab off some of the Tattered Angels Mist. It’s hard to see in the photo, but it gives it a little pinkish sheen. Finally, coat the whole frame with Mod Podge to make it glossy. To make the flower, tear up little bits of paper from some matching Pink Paislee scrap pieces.

{get your handsdirty}fun techniques to try on your own set of Artisan Elements

IS IT RESIN?IS IT LEATHER? These are just some of the questions we hear when people talk about our new pliable foam Artisan Elements. This brand new embellishment is being brought you to exclusively by Pink Paislee and the creative freedom is endless! Our designers recently paired these hot new products with different styles of mist from our friends over at Tattered Angels; the results are nothing short of spectacular. Try these techniques at home and you too can acheive the perfect matching element for your next paper crafting project.

4MONOGRAM FRAME Use Glimmer Glaze to get a sparkly effect on our artisan frames. Then add color to the embossed areas using a copic marker. Finally finish them off with an oversized chipboard letter to create a monogram embellishment.

TITLE EMBELLISHMENT When you use the chalkboard mist on our artisan frames you don’t have to worry about drying time. The material soaks it right up! Want more color? Be sure to let it drip into the embossed areas for added dimension.

NICOLE FOLLOWED THE SKETCH almost exactly as it is shown yet she still managed to make it

unique by rearranging the accent photos by overlapping and tilting them slightly. She also

centered the top photo on the page instead of placing it to the left as the original sketch

was drawn. The eye is immediately drawn to the title on this perfectly balanced layout!

Fantastic pages are not out of reach! Use Valerie’s latest sketch as the perfect starting point to create countless scrapbook pages and cards.

IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY sketch templates have become so popular among scrapbook designers today! There is no more guess work when it

comes to page design. The photo sizes are done, the arrangement

is done and no two layouts will look the same in the end.

Don’t let a themed paper collection keep your creativity confined. Often the backside of a paper design will work perfectly for your everyday layouts.

THINK OUTSIDE THE THEME Take a cue from Roree and learn how to create eye catching layouts using

double-sided patterned papers for something other than what they were originally intended.
