Hi Everyone! Lauren Seals here with a sweet layout created using one of my favorite collections Squeeze The Day. My main focus of this layout is tags, tags, and more tags! I love using tags on all paper crafting projects to add dimension and texture with the ribbon. They are great and fun in all different sizes and shapes. I focused on using quite a few from the Ephemera pieces in this collection while also creating a few tags of my own with the paper.
Here is my layout:
To begin creating the layout I first laid out the papers and chose background papers that were light and would contrasts nicely with the elements in this line. I wanted the little icons and word pieces to stand out nicely from the patterned base piece.
Then begins the layering! I love ALL the layers when it comes to paper crafting. I love dimension and how much depth you can create in a project by simply layering your background pieces as well as your embellishments.
Once I decided on the Bella Besties colors that I wanted to coordinate with my base pattern paper, I then went through the ephemera to choose the icons and words I thought would best stand out with the pictures chosen for the page. This line is perfect with all the little sayings and sentiments. Sweet for all occasions and perfect showing some love with pictures of you and your person!
I chose a few of my favorite tags in this line that would stand out nicely with their colors and “pear nicely” with the sentiments I chose.
When it comes to layering I love little clusters. I love the way these Ephemera Words layer so nicely with the littler tags and Ephemera Icons.
when layering I began with putting my mats down flat and then alternate putting foam tape or foam squares on the next layer that follows. Creating dimension without making it too thick for your page protectors.
Tags don’t have to be used in a standard way. Simply to give some added shape and dimension. The little black tag from the ephemera pack I even cut in half so I could just have something fun sticking out between my other two tags for some added color and to break up the patterns a bit. Then lastly I went through the layout and added some ribbon and enamel dots to give it some fun little details to finish it off.
I hope you all enjoy this layout as much as I enjoyed creating it! I can’t wait to share more projects with you in the future! Thank you.
