*LOVE*

Hello, everyone!! Jen Kinkade with you today bringing you some happy and bright colors!

Once again, I knew I wanted to feature a cut file and decided on some elements from the Made Digital Die cuts.

When I determined what direction I was going in I incorporated some watercolors and the popular ombre trend.

One thing led to another and I was having a blast playing with it all :)

 

As you can see, I used a bit of everything Ormolu has to offer...tags, flair, stamps and cut files!!

 

I hope you are inspired to create and have fun playing with some Ormolu!

We would love to see what you create :)

*Random*

 

Hey, everyone!! Jen Kinkade today bringing you a random daily life page filled with fun! :)

I knew I wanted to focus on the digital die time cut files and use them in a unique way, so I thought why not cut a shipping tag?!

(In case you would like to see and know how to use this file specifically, Kaitlin has a video tutorial here.)

It turned out great and the ideas just flowed from there.

This layout makes me smile for so many reasons, but mainly because I am documenting my relationship with my oldest daugher. While she goes to school in the same town that we live, it is rare that we see her out and about. We happened to pass on the road one day and it was a total fun surprise!!!

I came across this minion image via Pinterest some time ago and it was perfect for when we do see each other around town. The random text message happened and it was important for me to document. She really is my best friend :)

I think I wanted to grab and use ALL of my Ormolu goodies because I was so excited while I was creating this and everything goes so well together!! But the stamps...seriously!! They ROCK!!

I hope you found some inspiration today!!

We can't wait to see what YOU create!

Sunny Days

Hey there Ormolu lovers.Happy Friday. Latrice here and I’m excited to share my layout with you today. I’ve been trying to become a faster and more eclectic scrapper so this is a little different for me. I used tons of Made and Montage on this and had fun mixing colors and patterns. Check it out and let me know what you think.

*Sorry for the not so great picture, not natural light today*

I started with three small photos and four of the 3x4 cards. These were the perfect matte for my pictures. I then chose a bunch of flair that I felt was meaningful for this page. The custom flair is an all time favorite. Have you checked out all the choices yet? I just got some with Illinois on them!!!

I typed my journaling, stamped my date, added some of the new Made and Montage stamps and also stitched through the title. Here are the details.



There is so many possibilities for these new collections. I can’t wait to share more. Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a fabulous weekend!!

Hi, Jennifer Kinkade today with a layout that has *NEW* Ormolu lines!!

Yesterday some creative team members hosted a blog hop for chances to win some of the new products!!

Here is the start of the hop in case you missed it.

With my layout I went with a very contrasted look: the softness from the new lines and the more classic look with the black and white elements along with the photo.

If you love to layer things on your pages, all of these elements works so well together.

I couldn't resist adding some flair buttons to finish embellishing my page. ;)

These colors are getting me more and more excited for Spring to come!

The made and Montage lines will be perfect for any Spring-themed page or project!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget about our blog hop!! :)

You & Me

Latrice here and TGIF! I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share another layout with you. I’m kind of excited about this one because it’s actually about my husband and I. We are rarely in the photos with three kids. I used lots of pieces on this one. Mostly flair and dots and spots. Here is what I created.

I used lots of dots and spots from the Bungalow collection as well as pieces from Tree Hugger and flair and Word Up. I created two sides for this layout by putting all the pieces down the center. Check out the details.

If you haven’t gotten this stamp set yet then what are you waiting for?! It’s so perfect for Project Life. I’ll be using it in mine for sure! Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to leave me and the other team members some comments. We love to hear what you all think.

Xo, Latrice

London memory

Hey! It's Kasia here, first time sharing my project on Ormolu blog! 

I was waiting for an opportunity to use this photo of my boyfriend holding coffee cup from one of our favorite coffee shops in London- lovely Monmouth situated jsut next to amazing Borough Market. As soon as I received my Ormolu package I knew that it was perfect match with items from No.25 line. Than I started playing with some extra embelishments and decided to use some Bungalow paper elements and a little flair from No.25 line. I also used some package- this notebook paper- to add another layer under my photo. 

To finish off I stamped some geotags and stars on my layout and filled them in a bit with white pen.

The simple shapes of tags and color scheme which I used in this layout were constantly reminding me of London underground so I decided to try to add some tube lines to the base of the layout with my sewing machine. I really like the extra texture and a little color they add!

So, this is it, I mixed here christmas and home related line to create a page about the coffee in the city :) As you can see these products are really versatile! Have a lovely and creative weekend!

*Winter layers*

Hey, Ormolu fans!! Jennifer Kinkade here! :)

Although, I am not a huge lover of the Winter season, I must admit there are some things that I enjoy about the Winter months, like layering clothes and accessories.

Scarves are one of my favorite things to change up an outfit from time to time.

As I was looking through my Ormolu goodies, I thought why not use some of the items from the no. 25 collection for a Wintery-type page! It's totally doable since the items aren't specifically colored to use just for Christmas! It's kinda like using up your Christmas/December stash in a creative way! ;)

It's easy to use and mix different elements and "layer" them to achieve your desired look--perfect for my layering Winter layout! :)

Here's a closer look...

I especially loved using the snowflake image flair to coordinate with my layout!

Thanks for stopping by! We would love to see how you use the no. 25 collection in your creations!

xo,

Jennifer Kinkade

Hey there blogland! Latrice here, and I’m super excited to be sharing my first Creative team layout with you. I used the new line Word Up! I just love how colorful and versatile it is to work with. The layout I used it on today is very boy so I reached for more of the blues and grays for this one.

Check it out!

You can see that I also use the new stamps!!! I am a cardmaker and scrap booker so the stamps were so fun for me. I just love the font on the “Behind the Scenes” sentiment. I stamped it with Versamark and them embossed it with black. A few arrows, some mist and a big die cut title finish this page off. Here are the details.

I even created a bonus card to share with you over on my blog Any Occasion. Don't forget to leave me and the other Creative Team member comments.We love hearing what you think about the layouts and Ormolu products.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I can't wait to share more with you.

Welcoming Our New Creative Team Members

First let me say WOW! We got so many more applications this time around that I am truly thankful and humble for all of the enthusiasm and support from you all. I really do love going through applications. I love seeing all of the work, some familiar names, some new to me names- and lots of inspiration!

I really, truly have a difficult time in narrowing down- okay, I am just lousy at narrowing it down at all. The first six applications I get I am usually thinking, "Got my team right here!"

I do hope those that applied and didn't make it this time around will definitely apply again next time. 

With that all said, please join me in welcoming our new Creative Team members!

Creative Team Call

It's that time again. I am just getting back into the swing of things and really need a new team to show off the goods!

Here's a little rundown of what I am typically thinking about and looking for as I go through applications. 

• This Creative Team term will start in January and run through April (total of four months). 
• I will be looking for approximately six members (give or take because I am horrible at narrowing down). 
• Yes, I will accept applications from international designers as well. 
• Applicants do not need to have used Ormolu products to apply. 
• I'm looking for a mix of talent and styles for scrapbooking, paper crafting, stamping and digi/hybrid. 
• I also tend to look for people who are fairly active in the online community...that really helps! 
• Good photos! When showcasing product it's always important to make it look good ;) 
• Creative use of products (using the products in new ways that 'shows off' their capabilities) 
• Proficiency in blogging & social media definitely helps. 
• Ability to meet deadlines and stay up to date with team happenings through our Facebook group

With all that being said- I would like to think that this Creative Team is fairly easy going. 

The deadline to apply is November 30th. Creative Team members will be notified the following week.
