everyone out there in craft-land! We hope you are having a wonderful
week, and for those of you fortunate enough to enjoy a long weekend, we
hope you have stocked up on enough craft supplies to get you
through until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1676488698" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tuesday</span></span>! </span></h2>

of all of the excitement that is happening over the next two weeks, we
will be postponing all of our daily scrapbooking and cardmaking classes
(however, the Masterclass with Karen will still go ahead). Our classes

we won't be having any weekly specials for the next two weeks while the
clearance room is open, but you can expect them to start showing up
again in your inbox after the room closes! </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></h2>

This is probably because I only use them in a few different ways, when, in reality there are many, many ways that you can use stencils to create different effects. On Saturday August 23rd, join our stencil specialist Julie to learn some new techniques, including using metallic stencil paste, glitter and foils to create very different effects. Each class is only $29.00 which includes all of the materials you need - plus you get to take home the sunflower stencil (which we sell here at Photo Continental for $13.50). In addition you will also get a 15% off voucher to spend on any of your full-price craft purchases on the day! You can book into Julie's class by in store, over the phone or online <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/SBC140823" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />

Sometimes I'll make a photo board out of a large canvas covered in pretty fabric. Sometimes I'll stretch out ribbon and peg the photos on. I always find it's a great conversation starter, and it makes the birthday boy or girl feel extra special (if not a bit embarrassed).<br />
<br />
Here are some great ideas for displaying your photos for your next party!<br />

Photo Continental Crafthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06950475880644298627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340163846639447049.post-51824757024447269252014-06-19T18:51:00.001+10:002014-06-19T18:51:10.924+10:00Instant Photo FrenzyI've been loving the instant photo / Polaroid trend in scrapbooking layouts lately. They give a little touch of whimsy and nostalgia to layouts, as well as the ability to include lots of smaller photos. I was playing around with the Jillibean Soup Smile Frames, which look like a Polaroid frame to create two very different layouts.<br />
<br />
For my first layout, I was inspired by <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/85774-paigetaylorevans/1997396-capture-thrive/?source=pinit" target="_blank">this page</a> by Paige Evans that included grid-based watercoloured diecuts, journalling and matching embellishments to the diecuts by colour. I liked the idea that I could use a number of smaller photos, and found a number of photos from 2013 featuring my friends. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsXHtYTw8QCiS1BYcd_uYLXuwkVWLSWpfZFS4QNZogm8JfNKtsfjtlHQVufgVCGfU13QWytL7rHoE4n4bg29dD5FVVSdIFUUyfOAUhyphenhyphenhg4DZ-ugQHmQ3BlYBgRFGxApO9FutJl4bllD2E/s1600/IMG_7435.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsXHtYTw8QCiS1BYcd_uYLXuwkVWLSWpfZFS4QNZogm8JfNKtsfjtlHQVufgVCGfU13QWytL7rHoE4n4bg29dD5FVVSdIFUUyfOAUhyphenhyphenhg4DZ-ugQHmQ3BlYBgRFGxApO9FutJl4bllD2E/s1600/IMG_7435.JPG" height="392" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To make this layout, I watercolored the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/880102" target="_blank">white Smile Frames</a> using <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=gelato" target="_blank">Faber Castell Gelatos</a>, mixing them on my <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/235900050" target="_blank">craft mat</a> and then painting using a <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/995000" target="_blank">waterbrush</a>. I used a lot of water to get a nice, thin wash over each square.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUWrY6zjA2yPVHJYE-ueJkGikrSNYrZSdq8kZK5ZAZcOt6inyxivCDsiYdg9Hb8r4ZFtwBhEsNIYpyontxGw3KFg_w2Kw11o8-CmkTzjZrRBCKBMGd9tadCK_IKa_Tfq4n5JihuPf9a0/s1600/IMG_7433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUWrY6zjA2yPVHJYE-ueJkGikrSNYrZSdq8kZK5ZAZcOt6inyxivCDsiYdg9Hb8r4ZFtwBhEsNIYpyontxGw3KFg_w2Kw11o8-CmkTzjZrRBCKBMGd9tadCK_IKa_Tfq4n5JihuPf9a0/s1600/IMG_7433.JPG" height="358" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I distressed the edges of a handmade paper and layered it over a pink patterned piece of scrapbooking paper. I cropped pictures to fit in the frames, and adhered them to the back using double sided tape. The last frame was reserved for journalling on a piece of plain card. I then embellished each square with <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=prima+flowers" target="_blank">Prima</a> flowers, <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/354801" target="_blank">Papermania embellishments</a>, matching them to the colour of each frame.<br />
<br />
For my second layout, I wanted to experiment with our new <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=prima+wire+thread" target="_blank">Prima wire thread</a>. I wanted to make a personalised title that made an impact, so I decided to try out the lime green coloured thread and twist it into the word love. It was amazingly pliable, and I was pleased that the finished result actually looked like my handwriting!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib71sDRzild5SGhgkcxtsd7UTmGe1LGX7u1OlnfhzJyZycZM0K-GV-8OMZLzkqcWAj8U1b_oLvHxCcWBVKp9ffw5Z4Rj1nHhaDq4EzULd79dY29Ts7BIjxleHvBDUgmgVx9Hvjb10020g/s1600/IMG_7418.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib71sDRzild5SGhgkcxtsd7UTmGe1LGX7u1OlnfhzJyZycZM0K-GV-8OMZLzkqcWAj8U1b_oLvHxCcWBVKp9ffw5Z4Rj1nHhaDq4EzULd79dY29Ts7BIjxleHvBDUgmgVx9Hvjb10020g/s1600/IMG_7418.JPG" height="372" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This layout was quite simple, but the green elements in the page made a huge contrast against the black and the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/880103" target="_blank">Kraft Smile Frames</a>. I spritzed some white Dylusions spray behind the place where I wanted to place the frames before sticking them down, and then scattered the rest of the page with more Papermania embellishments and wood chips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieDHOIxOrfq0_vjZIiJP4aMwec_eBPeVIbcc3DTH68SqKSMwY09OyDs9fZIxyGAJF4DarIKd-oJ-pdVcJhwPBthFc6qJyZK5-cuWaGU2Jk0jYh_rhSLYauqVx7XYolKyLaxeYiGtiBd8/s1600/IMG_7422.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieDHOIxOrfq0_vjZIiJP4aMwec_eBPeVIbcc3DTH68SqKSMwY09OyDs9fZIxyGAJF4DarIKd-oJ-pdVcJhwPBthFc6qJyZK5-cuWaGU2Jk0jYh_rhSLYauqVx7XYolKyLaxeYiGtiBd8/s1600/IMG_7422.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I wrapped the tail end of my word around a Papermania wooden bobbin... and I was done!<br />
<br />
These pages were so fun to create, so I decided to buy the Couture Creations Polaroid frame die so that I could make my own instant photo frames out of different scrapbook papers.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

Our favourite toy! Right before we started our move to the bigger downstairs area, Teena gave us a fun little toy to play with. Have you had a play with the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/39730" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Distress Spritzer</a> yet?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It works like a little handheld airbrush machine. You simply slot your Distress Marker (or Tombo, or Copic Sketch) into the pen holder and turn the screw to hold it in place, then squeeze the barrel to blow puffs of air past the nib of the pen and onto your work surface.<br />
<br />
I used it with one of the Tim Holtz doily stencils to create a blue, airbrushed background on some leftover card. Pretty easy, and for only $18.95, it's a relatively inexpensive way to get some extra use out of your distress markers!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

You hardcore crafters will know what I'm talking about. I went through my craft room and organized it, then tried to find a new home or a new purpose for the things I hadn't used in a while. I found <i>waaaayyy </i>too many stamp pads for someone who doesn't do a whole lot of stamping and a whole drawer full of half-used alphabet stickers and thicker sheets full of Q's and X's and Z's. Ugh.<br />
<br />
Thankfully I didn't throw them out, because not long after, I stumbled upon this layout by Olatz that turns your unwanted thickers letters into a real piece of art! Awesome!<br />
<br />

While many of our Mixed Media art fanatics have been scooping them up, I like them for my scrapbooking layouts and art journalling. I found this gorgeous <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/119713-you-color-my-life-beautiful" target="_blank">layout</a> by <a href="http://www.wilnaf.com/" target="_blank">Wilna Furstenberg</a> using bold paint stripes to create a beautiful and colorful background that showcases her photos. Don't you love it?<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you haven't used them before, Distress Paints are <i>very </i>fluid,
so they glide over paper when you apply them directly using the sponge
applicator. They are also water-based and blend well with water while
they're wet. Once they're dry, however they don't react with water,
which means they're awesome to layer. They dry nice and flat and smooth,
unlike some other acrylic paints which dry with a thick texture. </div>

So pop on in to Photo Continental and grab some while they're cheap! </div>

Have you seen them floating around Pinterest and craft blogs lately? When I saw <a href="http://www.thejealouscurator.com/blog/2014/05/05/tiffanie-turner/" target="_blank">these gigantic beauties</a>, created by artist Tiffani Turner, I was inspired to try my hand at paper flower making. Tiffani's flowers take from 38 - 80 hours to make, so I thought I would start with something a little <i>smaller</i>. I ended up using the new <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=dlite+create" target="_blank">Spellbinders D-Lites Create-a-Flower die range</a>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP-EOsgTS0sgM2sGs6XJY2D_OTS5sCKlKt2Tybrgi6YimlIMPgUoCBZGiXt3IX1pkNwfYi3rBa07DUFMT8ZJjaMtghCdjzBJn4bh4K6YhTY4C5Oox2KY-NZn9uRYY0KCahLXL1O1Pktc/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP-EOsgTS0sgM2sGs6XJY2D_OTS5sCKlKt2Tybrgi6YimlIMPgUoCBZGiXt3IX1pkNwfYi3rBa07DUFMT8ZJjaMtghCdjzBJn4bh4K6YhTY4C5Oox2KY-NZn9uRYY0KCahLXL1O1Pktc/s1600/1.jpg" height="468" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
They were extremely simple to use as they cut cleanly and then when I ran them through my Bigshot again, they embossed all of the detail right onto the die. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRpAMzr8x_8KGJ1ErktkwjC6Rkd-ocRfo2E5ss2V3B8SchRQg-tY-e2mAc8XI0q1y20e0_PfU8CFU82fDY3ZlkFDGUeJuQ8IM-DHE8fPCTHYy_uPYfYUd6RKZWKz_lGhMHpHgClXbZQQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRpAMzr8x_8KGJ1ErktkwjC6Rkd-ocRfo2E5ss2V3B8SchRQg-tY-e2mAc8XI0q1y20e0_PfU8CFU82fDY3ZlkFDGUeJuQ8IM-DHE8fPCTHYy_uPYfYUd6RKZWKz_lGhMHpHgClXbZQQ/s1600/2.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I then applied <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=brilliance+ink" target="_blank">Brilliance</a> &
<a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=versacolor+cube" target="_blank">Versacolor</a> ink onto the petals to create the gradients you see in real
flowers, and then enhanced the final details with <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=copic+pen" target="_blank">Copic pens</a> and a
yellow <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/9950012" target="_blank">Aquacolor crayon</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
I rolled up the stamens and dabbed some glue on the ends and dipped them in bright yellow Flower Soft to create the look of pollen.<br />
<br />

<br />
I rolled the petals with a <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/15505179" target="_blank">double-ended embossing tool</a>, and then glued them all together. Finished! They were so easy to throw together, which meant that I got them done in an afternoon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And how gorgeous are those <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/82073" target="_blank">butterflies</a>? They come double layered, so I just inked the ends up and applied some <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/search?q=fairy+dust" target="_blank">Fairy Dust glitter</a> on the tips of the wings. Love!<br />

A Sizzix Bigshot or a Provocraft Cuttlebug?Well, you've decide to take the plunge and buy a die-cutting machine. But you have no idea which one to buy! You've noticed that the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/657900" target="_blank">Bigshot</a> and the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/9371051" target="_blank">Cuttlebug</a> have large followings, but you don't know what the difference between the two is. You jump on the online discussion boards to try and glean some wisdom from other crafters, but it just leaves you feeling more confused! Here is our definitive guide to the pro's and con's of both machines, to help you make an easy and informed choice!<br />
<br />
<b>Sizzix Bigshot</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.scrapbook.com/products/source/SBC_sz-bigshot2013.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.scrapbook.com/products/source/SBC_sz-bigshot2013.gif" height="262" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Pro's:<br />
<ul>
<li>Sturdy, makes "cranking" the dies and embossing folders through the machine a breeze</li>
<li>Can fit the newer, wider Sizzix dies</li>
<li>Comes with all of the plates that you need for basic die cutting and embossing</li>
<li>The cutting "sandwich" or "stack" is easy to remember as the combinations are printed on the spacer platform</li>
<li>Easier to cut different materials, such as fabric, felt and chipboard</li>
</ul>
<br />
Cons:<br />
<ul>
<li>Large and heavy, making it difficult to transport </li>
<li>Doesn't fold up, so it is difficult to pack away and store </li>
<li>Slightly more expensive than the Cuttlebug (retails for $149), but includes all of the needed plates</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Cuttlebug</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://nickyppapercrafts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSCF0246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://nickyppapercrafts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSCF0246.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Pro's:<br />
<ul>
<li><b> </b>It folds up and is very lightweight making it the more portable machine</li>
<li>It is easier to pack away and store</li>
<li>Slightly less expensive than the Bigshot (retails for $129), although the machine doesn't include the plate needed to cut wafer thin dies (a C Plate)</li>
</ul>
Con's:<br />
<ul>
<li>The fact that it is lightweight and has a retractable handle make it harder to "crank" dies and embossing folders through the machine</li>
<li>Some newer Sizzix dies are too wide to fit through the machine</li>
<li>You have to invest in a C Plate in order to cut wafer-thin dies, such as Spellbinders</li>
<li>The cutting "sandwich" or "stack" of the plates is harder to remember </li>
<li>Harder to cut different materials</li>
</ul>
In summary, the <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/657900" target="_blank">Bigshot</a> is a better investment if you're looking for a machine that is easy to use, however a <a href="http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/9371051" target="_blank">Cuttlebug</a> is the winner if you want a machine that you can transport, or if you are short on space and need to store it away. <br />
<br />
Hopefully this will make your decision a little easier!<br />

Gelatos!I'm very excited to see more and more "art supplies" sneaking into our traditional craft toolboxes. Our newest addition to the shop are Faber Castell's Gelatos. That's right, like the ice cream. We're still not 100% sure why they are called Gelatos, but my guess is that it is because they are creamy, rich and smooth and come in a whole array of colours.<br />
<br />
When you take off the cap of the Gelato, the top looks like a lip balm, but the consistancy is closer to that of a lipstick. When you draw on a piece of ordinary paper, the top glides along the paper as you would expect a lipstick to. You can then smudge them with your finger, or use a waterbrush to thin the color and spread it across your page. Here is a small roundup of some projects we love using Gelatos.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Last week we unpacked this gorgeous range of Echo Park papers called Splendid Sunshine. While Summer seems further and further away every day (is anyone else out there layering on the jackets - it's only May!), I thought these papers would look gorgeous cut apart and mixed together in a Project Life style to scrap my 21st birthday! I'm also swooning over the new Bella Blvd washi tapes and the Chevron Combo pack in particular caught my eye straight away.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0obPpWUzmCR1YIlb5blBsVd-pg9S2h_GhKHo1mfx_Rt1PIYsUIbPJozzFTiFVuR-sMYP75ThnydjZ3eRnVAYTDnjSnp8rNb2jAKbyUg7gr9swSbbk3bDASUtYd5MtW3_kPC6vz4PjPk/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0obPpWUzmCR1YIlb5blBsVd-pg9S2h_GhKHo1mfx_Rt1PIYsUIbPJozzFTiFVuR-sMYP75ThnydjZ3eRnVAYTDnjSnp8rNb2jAKbyUg7gr9swSbbk3bDASUtYd5MtW3_kPC6vz4PjPk/s1600/13.jpg" height="473" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I mixed different pages from the range to create my journalling cards and punched 1" circles from the scraps and from some gold glitter cardstock to add interest to the page. I also scattered Prima Bloom florals around the page. While I love the bright colors of Splendid sunshine, I wanted to make the overall layout a little bit muted to match the colors in my photographs. To do this, I added some soft kraft Bazzill cardstock cut down into journalling card size and added embellishments from the leftover pieces of scrapbooking paper. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHl_u1m_OAXy0L55-UheJNlJqbEfHdYikGyypbOgyWgpSR7dAVfDKxN8gDT4o8ogxtXR1Tu1kQe6Hnly27daPDrJTJBtUQkAWy-pAXFZCwSqiVjxe_WstZ46kbOGkjoXP7Zgpl8Tl-OR4/s1600/13a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHl_u1m_OAXy0L55-UheJNlJqbEfHdYikGyypbOgyWgpSR7dAVfDKxN8gDT4o8ogxtXR1Tu1kQe6Hnly27daPDrJTJBtUQkAWy-pAXFZCwSqiVjxe_WstZ46kbOGkjoXP7Zgpl8Tl-OR4/s1600/13a.jpg" height="489" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally, I added some chipboard cloud sentiments above where I will do my journalling about my birthday!<br />

Tracey & Kerrie, our Couture Creations goddesses packed out their classes to the point where we had to steal chairs and squeeze people in! Our car park was full and we had three people working the registers with most of our customers taking advantage of our 25% off sale! We now have a bigger coffee spot, which is fantastic because of the numbers of ladies (and husbands) wanting to have a cuppa while they craft.<br />
<br />
We can't wait for another busy day tomorrow and we hope to see you there!<br />

Thank you to all of our amazing customers who came to support us on our BIGGEST Silly Sunday yet! This year we had nine cashiers working non-stop, five make-and-take tables overflowing with customers, and thousands of craft items flying off our shelves. We count this year's Silly Sunday as a complete success! Here are some photos of Photo Continental's craziest day of the year!<br />

That's better! For those not familiar with the process, CHA is the industry show where all the new craft products for the next 12 months are put on show for retailers to consider and place orders for the up coming year. Not all items are released immediately, with many being released gradually throughout the year. However Teena and Stevie get to see all the new product before us so all us girls in Scrapbooking begged for our favourites to be checked out! Karen wanting lots of new papers for scrapbooking - Prima, Crate Paper, Pebbles, Carta Bella and more, Heather for her favourite - Bo Bunny and Linda anything grungy and Tim Holtz!<br />
<br />
So stay tuned and as we hear what might be coming we'll let you know!! <br />
<br />
Cheers for now.<br />
