Holey cardstock

Batman!  If you have not yet seen the new Holey Cardstock created by Samantha Walker, you are in for a real treat.  There are four distinct designs available for this cardstock and each contains it's very own special cut-out pattern.  From ocean swirls, lacy hearts, elegant flowers and leaves to simple dots, this is a beautiful way to add dimension to your pagees.  And all four designs come in six different colors!

This new dimension in cardstock can be used in whole as a full sheet, layered over another color of cardstock or patterned paper.  It can be cut and specific pieces used on your pages.  A particularly fun technique is to fill in random sections on the back of the cardstock holes with many different colors of cardstock.  The dot pattern lends itself to many, many design possibilities.  Why not try running ribbons through the holes or fill them with brads?  The Swirl pattern is prefect for scrapping beach, pool or water sports pages. 

The Creative Imaginations design team was treated with to several sheets of the New Holey Cardstock.  Check out their designs and the inspiration behind their projects.  We would love to see your projects or give us your thoughts on this new product!

Tammy Gray:  "My niece just had her second baby boy.  The boys are only a year apart in age, almost to the day.  She has her hands full of baby boys at the moment.  There is no way she will have time to scrap their photos so I made her a pre-made page to start her off for her new little one!"  Tammy used a fun technique on the "Dot" holey cardstock by adding little doodling within the dots.

Jen Davis:  "Since the theme of my layout was "PLAY" I wanted to use something bright, fun and colorful, pulling in some of the colors from the photo of my daughter playing wiht toys {her toys providing some inspiration for what products I chose for this layout.}  Combining the Yellow Flower Holey Cardstock along with the bright Pink Dot Holey cardstock seemed playful to me and provided the perfect backdrop for the photo of my daughter Zoey playing.  Throwing in the contrasting colored journaling strips just added a bit of interest!"

Cheryl Mezzetti:  When I took this photo of my niece Olivia i knew that when I scrapbooked this photo i wanted to keep it simple.  The beautiful airy, lacy feel of the White flower Holey cardstock was a perfect choice.  I cut out some of the flowers from the Red Holey cardstock and layered over the white cardstock.  For the leaves, I used the Parakeet Pizzazzill Dot cardstock, tracing and glueing the paper on the back side.

Patty Lennon: "As soon as I saw the Swirled Holey Cardstock, I kew it would be perfect for beach photos.  Followign the pattern of the swirls, I cut a section of the white swirl Holey Cardstock and lined the backside with light blue color to resemble the ocean waves.  I tucked the photo into the waves of the Holey cardstock and included beach themed products to give the page an ocean feel.

Linda Auclair "My photos of my daughter were taken on Mother's Day after she and her sister had surprised me with a wonderful "breakfast in bed" and some handmade gifts.  My journaling expresses my gratitude for having such wonderful and thoughtful children.  I used the blue Holey Cardstock with white cardstock underneath to "echo" her T-shirt and tank top outfit that she wore in the photo.  I added the Renae's House Aubrey Chipboard and eye candy crystals to dress up the layout a bit."
