Hey there! It’s Kira and I am back with TWO travelers notebook layouts in my Life Crafted albums, using the April 2021 Hip Kits. This week I wanted to focus on fussy cutting, which is my favorite way to stretch my kits to the max! Here’s a look at my first layout:
I’m not sure it’s even possible to look at the Amy Tangerine Monarch paper from the Paper Kit and NOT want to fussy cut it. So, that’s just what I did! I had no idea how I was going to use them on a layout, but I knew I wanted to make some sort of DIY embellishment with them.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
I decided to layout the butterflies with vellum and then cardstock from the Cardstock Kit. I used Tutu Pink, Pinkini and Turquoise Mist.
First, I adhered the butterflies to some vellum and fussy cut around the vellum leaving a slightly wider edge. Then I adhered the butterflies on the cardstock and cut in the same fashion. To finish off the embellishments, I used my sewing machine to stitch them all together.
I typed up my journaling on my computer and printed my photo at full size in black and white. Then I played with the placement of the butterflies to create this fun page!
Here’s a look at my second layout:
For my second layout, I fussy cut all of the labels from the Garden Stroll paper from the Paper Kit. I knew I wanted to layer them up on my page in a fun way.
I decided to go with a different pocket configuration for this layout, and typed my journaling up on a 4×6 card which I embellished with stickers and chipboard found in the Embellishment Kit.
The pocket below my journaling holds a 2.25″x4″ card, so I labeled it Feb. to indicate when this story took place. I embellished it with stickers from the Pocket Life Kit and the Embellishment Kit.
For my photo page, I layered my photo on top of a piece of cardstock from the Cardstock Kit. Then I used the labels from the Garden Stroll paper to layer up beneath my photo. I also added stickers from the Embellishment Kit. I used some bakers twine from my stash to wrap around the entire page.
Thanks for stopping by!
