Hi everyone, it’s Rebecca here today sharing my first layout of the month. I’ve been having so much fun creating with the Paperback Blooms collection from Uniquely Creative. It’s such a delicate and beautiful collection, and I love how versatile it is. You can find the full collection in the shop here.
To begin, I took a sheet of patterned paper from the 6x6 Collection Pack and placed it in the centre of a sheet of premium white cardstock at an angle. I then cut three smaller squares from two other patterned papers and arranged them horizontally across the larger square, keeping them at the same angle for a cohesive look. I added dimension by raising the smaller squares with adhesive craft foam — one of those scrapbook essentials I simply can’t live without!
To bring the whole design together, I matted my photo with the same woodgrain paper used for the outer squares, creating a nice sense of consistency and flow throughout the layout.
Next, I selected several floral die cuts from the Floral Creative Cuts and arranged them into two large clusters on either side of my photo. I’m a big fan of symmetry, so I always try to keep my clusters balanced where possible. One of the things I love about Uniquely Creative die cut packs is that they include two of each design, which makes creating symmetrical layouts so easy!
I chose my title from the Creative Cuts Ephemera and positioned it to the left of my photo. On the opposite side, I added the adorable koala die cut because he was sitting in a similar pose to my son in the photo — such a cute little detail!
To finish the layout, I added a couple of die cut butterflies and applied some Distress Oxide Ink in the shade “Tattered Rose” behind the patterned papers. This created a soft shadow effect around the edges of the design and helped add extra depth and softness to the page.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a closer look at my layout and that it inspires you to spend some creative time in your craft room this weekend making something beautiful.
Take care,
Rebecca xx
