Instructions:
- To make the
background, I put aside a piece of white cardstock. I then took my dark blue
paper from the Slab V and the Greek Key Fiskars border punch and punched a
border around the edges. When the border was punched, I rounded the corners
with the Creative Memories corner rounder punch. I used the Creative Memories
mini tape runner to put adhesive on the punched edges of my patterned paper
and the Xyron Cheetah to run adhesive over the middle. I attached the punched
paper to my white cardstock. Using the foam brush, I brushed the acrylic
paint onto the paisley stamps and stamped the blue background paper. Once it
was to my liking, I set it aside.
- I then worked on the
photos for the page. I put the photos through the Xyron 510 to apply an even
coating of adhesive on the back and attached them to the Moody Blues
cardstock. I cut around them using the perfect layers rulers and my xacto
knife. I set them aside and took the piece of light blue dragonfly paper and
stamped it with the paisley stamps with the cream acrylic. Once it was dry, I
took my main photo, attached it to this paper, and then used the perfect
layers ruler, 1” side to cut the mat down to size. Using the Fiskars diamond
border punch, I punched around the edges of my mat and trimmed the corners.
Once the punching was done, I put the matted photo back through the Xyron 510
to apply an even layer of adhesive on my diamond punched mat.
- I decided that one
photo should have priority over the other meaning drawing the eye to that
photo first. I placed the other photo underneath and placed my diamond mat to
the side, but just so the mat was covering a bit of the edge of the second
photo. I put this aside to work on the title, Scrunchie, which is our
nickname for our son.
- I created this title
by stamping with the Making Memories Misunderstood alphabet foam stamps and
acrylic paint. Just brush on the paint and stamp away. I then cut all my
letters out using the microtip scissors, ran them through the Xyron 150
machine and attached them to my page creating my finished layout.
