{It's all about the Elements}
Simple Stories collections are the complete package! So many amazing double-sided designer papers, stickers and oh the element cards - who doesnt adore these! Simple Stories element cards give you so much use and versatility! Each 12x12 Simple Stories cardstock element sheet is designed to be trimmed and scrapped! And remember each 12x12 Element sheet is double-sided for even more creativity! Whether its a 4x6 journaling element, a 4x4 subway art card, a 3x4 flash card or one of our 6x12 mini layout elements - each piece can be added to any project at any time! Element cards can be used to trim and slip into your divided page protectors or as layout backgrounds, page accents, photo mats, journaling cards, mini books and so much more!
So here's the challenge - Use your Simple Stories elements in a new and different way and share your creativity with us!
Be sure to check out all of the fantastic designs and inspiration using our Elements below!
Rebecca Says: I used several of the Awesome Elements for the Elements Challenge on my layout. I usually think about the elements like puzzle pieces. I start by cutting out pieces that go along with my layout. In this example I used several that had stars on them since I was using the star background. Some I cut out as is, others I fussy cut smaller than the original element (like the big circle with the star). Then I start piecing them together. The large one I used for a large amount of typewritten journaling, the strip runs along the bottom tying it all together and a smaller element on the right hand side of the photo completes the layout.
Allison states: I'm super busy this semester with little time for scrapping. So, I must have been thinking crazy when I decided to take on Project Life this year. Nonetheless, that's exactly what I did. But with Simple Stories' Design Elements, Project Life is a breeze. I don't have to think too hard, and yet I still get a fun, decorated week by week view of my year. For this week's edition, I used a WeR Memory Keeper page protector and combined vertical 4x6 and a horizontal 6x12 Element pieces. The papers already have a layered look, but by adding a few extra stickers, punches, brads, and staples, I was able to make it my own. I also combined the alphas and some word stickers from the Documented line which coordinated quite well! With my busy lifestyle, this was a perfect way to start playing catch up on my project.
Emily Says: I used some of the "Fabulous" signature elements in a mini album. They work perfectly for little phrases & journaling tags! The border elements are great to add to the side of a "less decorative" sheet of paper to jazz it up a little. I love that the signature elements come with the paper packs and 6x6 pads, it's very convenient to have elements & paper all in one that coordinate with each other!
Kay States: I used several different types of Simple Stories elements from the Fabulous line as I created my divided page projector project including 3x4 flash cards, bingo cards, 4x6 journaling and element cards and 4x4 element cards. Each different element fit perfectly with my photo a day project!
Jill Says: I used Awesome 4 x 6 Journaling Card Elements #1 (#2210) as a mat behind my photo. I only wanted numbers 1-4 to show so I covered the #5 with a star sticker. Next, I cut apart the 2 x 12 Border & 4 x 12 Title Strip Elements (#2214) and used the striped piece with the file folder tab on the left of my layout. I placed an "Awesome" sticker on the tab. Finally, I also used the 6 x 12 Page Elements (#2215). To give the piece a little more texture, I machine stitched the four larger pieces of patterned paper and distressed the edges.
