Some of my Scrapbooking Layouts

Making a Kusudama Rose

Today I came across this blog Paper Craft - All About Papers where the owner Fernanda Gomez creates amazing things from paper like teacups, animals, clothing and beautiful flowers using origami, twilling and paper molding.

As soon as I saw the flower above I wanted to know how to make it, luckily Fernanda has posted instructions on how to make this Kusudama Rose. There wasn't any other instructions for her other other paper pieces, hopefully more will be posted one day! This is definitely one blog worth looking at to see some some amazing paper crafts.

Now once I get some time up my sleeve I am going to attempt to make this beautiful Kusudama Rose to add to my own scrapbooking page or paper craft project.

Here is another beautiful layout for you to create using products from GCD Studio. I love using GCD Studio products, the colours for each collection match perfectly with each other, and their papers, ribbons and embellishments are all made using the highest quality products. I love the way all their patterned papers match with the cardstock, and also the self-adhesive ribbon and self-adhesive chipboard make it so much easier to complete quick and easy scrapbooking and paper craft projects.Materials:

Beginners Layout Using Die Cuts

I wanted to do this scrapbooking page as a starting point for scrapbooking beginners to get the basic instructions to complete a layout. Also beginners should also read this post on Scrapbooking Glossary of Terms to help you out with common scrapbooking words..

Materials:
12x12 Patterned Paper - I have used GCD Studios 12x12 Designer Paper - Blue Swiss
12x12 Cardstock - I have used GCD Studios 12x12 Cardstock - Red Independence
Diecuts (or stickers) - I have used My Minds Eye At The Pool title, Snorkel, Bucket, Beach Ball.
3 Photos 13 x 9cm
Double -sided tape (photo corners)

Instructions:
1. First you have to mat your photos, to do this you adhere (stick) your 3 photos to the 12 x 12 piece of cardstock, leave about a 2mm border around your photos, as shown in photo below. Cut out your photos.

2. Adhere two photos 8cm down from the top of your background paper, which is the patterned paper. Then just below these two photos adhere the third photo in the center.
3. Add your die-cut title and images randomly to your page, overlapping the edges of your photos. Using the double-sided tape (or you could use double-sided foam to give your die-cuts a 3D look on your page).

4. You can then add some journaling to your scrapbooking layout by cutting a strip of cardstock 27 x 2cm and adhered it to the bottom of the layout.

Its as easy as that! You can add extra embellishments to the layout, like photo corners, gems or you could also add journaling by hanging tags to the die-cut title using ribbons and eyelets.

Layout Instructions using GCD Studio Rose Colored Glasses

I have been doing lots of altered art instructions on this log, so today I wanted to give you instructions for a scrapbooking page. I have used the beautiful products from the GCD Studios Rose Colored Glasses Range, I love that by choosing products from the same range it makes it so easy to create layouts that flow beautifully and are colored coordinated.

Craft Knife, Flower Punch

Instructions-
1. Using your craft knife cut out the "vines" from the Vines and Flowers paper (the vines that will be overlapping your photo).

2. To cut the strips of paper to go behind the photo I have used 18x8cm Rose Circles and 18x8cm Flower Stripe paper cut into 2x 3cm strips and 1x 2cm strip and 18x5cm Soft Vines paper cut into 1x cm strip and 1x 2cm strip.

3. You can ink edges of the strips to make them stand out and then adhere strips to Vines and Flowers paper by placing the top strip 7cm down from the top right corner about 1cm in from the. Place the rest of the strips down the page in any order, making sure you cover the holes made when cutting the vines in step 1.

4. Cut you cardstock 14.5 x 18.5 cm and adhere photo to cardstock leaving a small border around the photo. Adhere this photo mount to the center of the strip background you made in step 3.

5. Glue down the vines from step 1, covering the left side of your photo. Punch out 9 random sized and colored flowers and stack them into 3 bunches of 3, using the brads pin the bunches of flowers to the 3 large flowers on the Vines and Flowers paper, place jewels to the 2 smaller flowers on this paper.

6. Using a popstick or similar item, rub vines and flowers rub-on to the bottom right of layout overlapping photo and background paper. Add 2 gems to little flowers. Adhere 8cm strips of ribbon to top right of photo then place a brad in the center.

7. For the title, stick the glitter letters to cardstock spelling out the name or word you want, cut out this piece of cardstock. Adhere title 2cm down from layout lining it up with the photo. Rub the "princess" rub-on to corner of title.
