Technique Tuesday: October Studio AE Blog Hop
Hello! Welcome to the Technique Tuesday's October Studio AE Blog Hop!
This month's stamp set is all about December. It's perfect for December Daily, cards and layouts about the Christmas. But not just that! I created this layout about my family's trip to Maui last December. Totally not holiday related, but the stamps were perfect for it.
I stamped the banner stamps with colored ink (Colorbox Pigment Ink) on smooth white card stock, and the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black (#2). I cut those out as strips, but later on I changed my mind, and ended up notching the ends. I used pop-up adhesive to attach them to the layout.
To create the title, I printed it on regular printer paper, and used it to pierce the holes onto the photo paper (#3).
I used a single strand of yellow embroidery thread to stitch the title (#4). When I was done, I thought it needed a bit more color. So I trimmed off a little off each side of the photo paper, and added the yellow cardstock to the background.
Do leave me a comment for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Technique Tuesday store. The winner will be announced October 15th on the Technique Tuesday blog. And don't forget to visit the other blogs on the hop for more chances to win. Thanks for coming by!

Love your page.
Your layout is really beautiful. I love how you put the phoitos on the page.
Just loving those banners you have made with the border stamps.
I love that you didn't make this a Christmas theme! FABULOUS!! Love ya!
Beautiful page!!!
The grid idea is brilliant! Love the stitching & your use of the stamps. Great page with gorgeous photos!
Awesome, clean page! Love how you used these basically Christmas stamps in another way, and they fit your Hawaiian page beautifully! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great layout! Love how you used the stamps!
Great vacation page
Great layout. Love the banners and the stitching. Great stamp set this month.
Love how you notched the ends of the stamped strips! Your use of the stamps gives an entirely different look than Ali's. Love it. Love the white space.
And I took note of your technique for doing embroidery...I have been drawing on the paper then following the line but I like this idea of doing it on another paper just to get the placement for holes without the messy line showing beneath the stitching. Thank you!
Love it! Especially love the stitching!
SHUT.UP,! This Is fabulous!!
Wonderful how you created banners from the starry strips! The stitched title is fabulous, especially since you just used simple things like a printout (that's how I've done it!)
TFS!
The grid design is perfect here.
I love how you made the rectangle stamp into banners and used these stamps on a non-holiday page! Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful layout! Thanks for taking us through the process as well - love hearing about it!

This layout appeals to me so much because I also love to use grids on my layouts. It keeps them simple and clean.
Fabulous layout!

Great grid design, and I totally love how you've used this "holiday" stamp set in non-holiday fashion!
Love the layout, wish I was there!
Nice layout. the and use of the stamps. The yellow border and the hand stitching make the page outstanding. It's very clean.
Wow! This layout is so versatile!
Love these stamps, very useful!
Thanks for showing how versatile Ali's stamp is this month, another reason I really want it! Your trip to Maui looks like it was fantastic, it's definitely on my bucket list to go some day!
I love that you used this on a layout that isn't Christmas themed. I am always trying to get more usage out of the stamps I own. I love the simplicity of this page that allows the photos to really shine!
A good idea to use the grid system. I try to step my cards and it often doesn't work - there's not enough room for many cards. I get tired of trying to adjust them and finally just give up. thanks for the tip. I'll be trying it out.
Great idea for the stamps. I like that layout - clean and beautiful. Oh - and Maui sounds nice too. :-)
Fabulous design, I love how you used the stamps!
Using the grid is such a clever and efficient way to do a layout.
