Hi, I'm Michelle and I'll show
you today in my tutorial how
to easily create a colorful scrapbooking birthday layout. This Layout is based on the amazing
scrapbooking kit from my creative
Scrapbook.
You will need:
My creative Scrapbook
Kit September
Photo
Scissors
Stapler
Glue
Washi Tape or black pencil
1 piece of white cardstock
(I work here in 8
"x12", you can
also do the layout in
12"12")
Foampads (optional) with it
you achieve a better three-dimensional optics
Optional: paper clip
Step 1: Preparation
Choose 3 different papers from
the great selection, which stand out well against each
other in terms of colour or
subject.
For a better orientation
I indicate the color of the
papers I have used for each
paper size I work with the
size A4 (21.9x29cm), the dimensions for the lettering format
should only differ slightly.
If you want to change the
layout to 12"
x12", replace all the length measurements (the last) from 9"/23cm to 11"/28cm
Cut out the following paper strips:
1x 7.5“x 9“ (19cm x 23cm) (green)
1x 1“x 9“ (2.5cm x 23cm) (rose)
1x 2“x 9“ (5cm x 23cm) (rose)
2x 1“x 9“ (2.5cm x 23cm) (white)
Step 2: Flowers
You can cut out flowers from the
papers included in the scrapbooking kit. I have cut
out the darker flowers. The lighter flowers are a die cut part that
is also included in the kit.
Arrange the paper strips and the
flowers and then glue them
together. For the upper white
paper strip I turned over the
border. For the paper strips
at the lower
border I folded a corner and fixed
it with a stapler.
Step 3: Photo and Title
Take your photo(s) and stick it on the large green area. You
can also glue it in the middle
and frame it later by
Embellishments. I have attached it to
the left side. Since I used
two photos, I added a frame (sticker) to one
photo to make it stand out better.
My title consists of
2 tags that are included in the scrapbooking kit. To make them
stand out a bit more I decorated the rose
paper border with a piece of
Washi Tape. As an alternative to
tape you can also use a black pencil to
create a nice edge.
The two tags are glued together
with foam pads and a piece of
twine holds them together.
Step 4: Embellishments
The rich scrapbooking kit contains many stickers,
which you can now arrange
as a cluster next to the
photo. I also cut out a star and folded
the edges to get a better
three-dimensional look.
Below the photo I have added some
more gifts (stickers). 2 golden stars complete the layout.
If you work on
12" x 12" you can
cut out several stars - maybe in different sizes to create
a bigger embellishment cluster.
At the end I added a paper clip in form of a 6 to the
photo, because my little one
celebrated his 6th birthday.
I hope you liked my
layout. I am always happy about questions and feedback. Have
fun designing and all the best
Michelle
