Hello crafty Friends!
Today, I'm excited to share the process of creating my latest 12 x 12 scrapbook layout, which I hope will inspire your crafting projects. I started with Bella Blvd's 12 x 12 Double-Sided Paper titled "Merry And Bright." I carefully cut out vibrant wedges from the "Merry And Bright" paper to kick off the layout. While the paper had a lovely white background, I wanted to add some dimension, so I adhered these colorful pieces onto a solid white base to make them stand out. I also used the reverse side of the paper, which features a fun/colorful merry and bright , incorporating one wedge from that side for added variety.
To enhance the texture and visual appeal, I used my sewing machine to stitch along the edges of each wedge. I made sure to leave the edges slightly lifted, creating a playful, distressed effect. This technique helps to bring each piece to life, adding depth to the layout.
To prepare for framing, I trimmed 1/4 inch from each side of the colorful wedge paper. Next, I adhered a contrasting piece of 12 x 12 double-sided paper called "It's A Party," which features vibrant polka dots. The lively pattern of this paper creates a dynamic background that beautifully complements the colorful wedges.
Finally, the embellishment stage is where I had the most fun! I spent time sorting through my collection of embellishments to gather items that matched the color wedges of my layout. This included a variety of cardstock stickers, puffy stickers, chipboard epoxy pieces, and assorted ephemera. I added the title Christmas cookie friend! and added a few sticker around photo.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I cant wait to see your twist using these fun patterns and embellishments. Xo Conny!
