Scrapbook Layout || First Edition 'Sweet Nothings'

Hi all,

I have a layout to share today using the First Edition 'Sweet Nothings' papers from Trimcraft.

The layout is a scraplift from the ladies at CreateCraftRepeat , which were scraplifts from RoseyPoseyStudio.

The picture is of Nathan and I on our anniversary. I thought the paper with the hearts matches my little bow. 

1. Use dies to cut bunting from different patterned papers.
2. Arrange the bunting in rows across the layout and glue to a 12x12 sheet of patterned cardstock. Try and pick something plain-ish so your bunting stands out.
3. Print your photo at 4x4" and mount onto patterned paper.
4. In the area your photo will sit on, add a thin layer of gesso.
5. Cut lengths of twine and stick across the top of each row of bunting.
6. Stick down your photo, using 3D foam.
7. Add a small peg to the ends of each length of twine. Stick the pegs down. 
8. Finish with a title and the date, and bows to embellish.

Thanks for stopping by!

Belle & Boo Bunting Card

Hi all,

A new card to share today using the Belle & Boo collection by Trimcraft.
It's an A5 card, I would have made it smaller but I wanted to include the decoupage but not as the main focus of the card. I bought a set of Xcut mini bunting dies and never used them yet so I thought they would be perfect on a card where Belle is having a picnic.

To start with, the paper wasn't quite as wide as the card blank so I cut it down so it would be the same distance from the top and bottom as either side. I then cut two strips of paper 2 inches wide and stuck one at the bottom of the paper and one a little further up, this one with a punched scalloped border. I stuck these together and then cut an aperture from the centre. I die cut some bunting from the paper pack and stuck the largest bunting directly onto the card blank and used a glue gun to stick twine on top. I then added the layered papers with 3D foam dots. The decoupage is stuck on top of this, then more twine and the smaller bunting pieces, with 3D dots under these too.

I think this is my favourite card I've made so far... !

Thanks for stopping by!
