2. Color die cuts with magical powders
Anke Kramer takes mixed media to the next level with this innovative technique using magical powders to color die cuts. Working with the November 2025 Color Kit, Anke demonstrates how to add shimmer and vibrant colors to die-cut elements, creating eye-catching embellishments that elevate any scrapbook page. The magical powders add an iridescent quality that catches the light beautifully and gives your layouts a professional finish. This process video walks you through every step, making it easy to replicate at home even if you’ve never worked with these products before. The technique opens up endless possibilities for customizing your embellishments to match any color scheme or theme you’re working with.
3. Create a colorful paper cones background
Anke Kramer returns with another creative technique that transforms simple paper into an incredible three-dimensional background. Using the October 2025 Paper Kit and October 2025 Color Kit, Anke shows how to create playful paper cones that add incredible texture and visual interest to your layouts. The paper cone technique is surprisingly simple but delivers dramatic results that make your pages stand out. This mixed media approach gives you a unique background that provides both color and dimension, creating the perfect foundation for your favorite photos. Watching Anke work through the process makes it clear how versatile this technique is and how you can adapt it to any color palette or theme.
4. Using three colors for building a cluster
Daniela shares her approach to creating a balanced and cohesive scrapbook page by focusing on just three colors: pink, blue, and fawn. Working with the November 2025 Main Kit, she demonstrates how limiting your color palette can actually create more visual impact and harmony. Daniela fussy-cuts windows from the cardstock pack and builds a large cluster of embellishments that draws the eye without overwhelming the page. This technique is perfect for scrapbookers who sometimes feel overwhelmed by too many pattern and color choices. By focusing on three coordinating colors, you can create a sophisticated look that lets your photos shine while still incorporating plenty of decorative elements and personality.
5. Let’s stamp a mixed media background!
Brianna Estrella brings energy and color to her scrapbook pages through the art of stamping. In this fun process video featuring the September 2025 Hip Kits, Brianna creates a vibrant mixed media background using stamps to build layers of pattern and texture. Stamping is one of the most accessible mixed media techniques, and Brianna shows how you can use it to create custom backgrounds that are truly one-of-a-kind. The beauty of stamped backgrounds is that no two will ever look exactly the same, giving your layouts a handmade quality that machine-cut elements can’t replicate. Brianna’s enthusiastic approach makes this technique look fun and approachable, even if you’ve never considered yourself a stamping expert before.
