Instructions:
1. Layer 1: For this double page layout
I used two 12 x 12 pieces of cardstock for the background. Note: You must work on both side by side so that
your layers match up.
2. The next layer is the "Energize Checkerboard". The easiest way to add this layer would be to have 2
-12 x 12 pieces of the “Energize Checkerboard” pattern to
use for the next layer, which you would cut to be 11 x 12” each. However, I only had one piece so I had to
improvise to make it look like one piece by cutting 2 pieces 4 x 12” and 2
pieces 1.5 x 12”.
3. Layer 3:
Cut 1 piece of the “Transform Polkadot” paper in half (6 x 12”). Adhere down about 1.25” from the top of the
Checkerboard paper.
4. Layer 4:
Cut 2 sections of the soft Yellow “Bazzill” paper into a 2.5 x 12”
pieces. Adhere down to the center of the
“Transform
Polkadot”, again making sure that it lines up with the other page.
5. Using a
die cutting machine, I cut out a 2 frames in an extra large size so that they
mat each other. The first piece which is
used to mat the top piece is “Foundation One” and measures 11 x
11”. The second piece is “Rejuvenate”
and measures 10.5 x 10.5”. Adhere them
together centering the top piece. Place
across the middle of the two pages with about ¾ of the page on one side and ¼
on the other page. Adhere down to in the
center, lining it up with the right side of the left page and the left side of
the right page. (When the pages lay next to each other the design should look
continuous). (Note from Tamara – If you don’t have a die cut machine for this
step come into the store and we can help you find some other options … or, you
could use cut squares of the sizes mentioned and use decorative corner punches
or Martha Stewart punches to make it special…)
6. Now you are ready to lay down your photos and embellishments. My photos are matted on “Bazzill” cardstock in a soft sea green. Photo sizes are 5 x 7 and 3 x 2.5”.
6. Now you are ready to lay down your photos and embellishments. My photos are matted on “Bazzill” cardstock in a soft sea green. Photo sizes are 5 x 7 and 3 x 2.5”.
7. I used
the border from the “Puzzle pieces” to border to top side
of the right page and scattered puzzle pieces.
On the left page I used the “Puzzle Pieces” as a border in the
center of the pale yellow section. I raised
two of the pieces with pop-dots.
8. The
pocket was made from the “Titles and Phrases” and was adhered
to white cardstock to form the pocket.
The tag was made from white cardstock and stamped with a stamp from the “Tim
Holtz – Visual Artistry” Collection using “Ranger Archival Ink”. I inked the edges with ink in two colors and
added ribbons and a button.
9. Other
embellishments are from the “Titles and Phrases”, “Block
Numbers” and “BoBunny Blossoms”. The final embellishments added were
the buttons and the rhinestone flourishes.
Here's the completed layout - isn't it beautiful?
