Studio Calico digital | Dana, Kinsey & Celeste

(supplies - patterned paper: Studio Calico Print Shop 6x6 Paper Pad; cardstock: More Solar White; More Vellum; stamp: Antiquary Card Kit; ink: Hero Arts Charcoal Shadow Ink; digital items: Antiquary Thankful cut designs; tools: Silhouette Cameo machine, Tiny Attacher; other: Martha Stewart Glue Pen, This to That Foam Tab Circles, Martha Stewart Smokey Quartz glitter, sewing machine/thread)

One of my favorite things about Studio Calico's digital offerings is that they are so flexible. The stamp brushes, cut files (PNGs), and the printable elements are awesome as a quick accent but they're also customizable which really makes them go the extra mile. I love that I can use them with my kits and they coordinate perfectly but it doesn't stop there, I can use them with anything and any color scheme by recoloring, changing out text, and resizing.

In this layout I used pieces from 7 different digital files from the shop including the Antiquary kit, Thataway collection, and Magical collection downloads. I wanted the printable/digital elements to be the main source of color so I changed the colors to coordinate with my yellow, aqua, and grey scheme, I resized them to fit several of my circle punches (5/16 inch - 1 3/4 inch) using Photoshop and then adhered them on both pages to create a large scale confetti base for my photos. I also recolored and resized the calendar stamp brush file and the labels from the Antiquary exclusive stamp set. In addition, on the exclusive stamp label files, I removed the existing text and stars and added my own text (numbers one through ten) and used those as my top 10 list journaling spots. The options are endless and the end result is always a perfect fit!

Here's a semi- before & after of the files I used (I masked them so that only the items I used are highlighted on the left and on the right are my customized elements) and a couple of close ups of the elements on my layout:

I find mixing them up and making them larger than life works really well with my style.

Every month I love opening the printables. Different from the brushes, in that someone else had done the hard work creating their loveliness for us! I always print the page of printables and then go through the individual ones and select the ones I like.
