Create your own custom patterned papers using clear stamps and coordinating inks.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Cut a half of a sheet of the Today patterned paper and adhere to the top section of the cream cardstock backing.
STEP 2:
Divide the lower section of the cardstock into 5 sections. Their width and length can vary. Determine the patterned paper for each section.
STEP 3:
Stamp images on each piece of patterned paper to create a rich and textured pattern. Use a scrap piece of cardstock and a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help you lay out the stamped images. Arrange on the cardstock and then adhere your finished design to the cardstock test piece for extra stability. Make sure to heat dry the pigment ink - emboss some of the stamped images for added interest.
STEP 4:
Cut Dots and Roses Patterned paper in 1/2 inch strips and use as a border between the 5 sections of patterned paper.
STEP 5:
Adhere gathered ribbon to the back of the 5 x 7 inch photo. Place on layout with 3D-Dots.
STEP 6:
Embellish photo with string and the stamped charm “love.”
STEP 7:
Add title using chipboard letters. Don’t be afraid to change chipboard letters to match your layout’s color palette. Embossing letters, paint, pattern paper, or even glitter will help you achieve a perfect match.
STEP 8:
Embellish butterflies with rhinestones and wire. Add texture to the layout with buttons.
STEP 9:
Write journaling and add stickers for more texture. Attach to layout with an office clip.
