Wild At Heart - Uniquely Creative - Bohemian Escape Collection

Hi everyone,

It’s Rebecca here, and I’m really excited to be on the blog today sharing my first layout created with the Bohemian Escape collection from Uniquely Creative. Uniquely Creative is a new brand to Papermaze, all the way from Australia! Their collections are absolutely beautiful and elegant, featuring the most gorgeous floral elements—perfect for any occasion.

The Bohemian Escape collection has even inspired a new hobby for me—I’ve started making cards! (Although I’m still a long way from calling myself a card-maker!) Papermaze currently have two Uniquely Creative collections in stock, and you can find them both here.

To begin, I selected five of my favourite patterned papers. With so many gorgeous designs to choose from, that was no easy task! From four of the papers, I cut small tag shapes using a metal die and my Sizzix Big Shot machine. From the fifth patterned paper, I cut a polaroid-style frame.

I arranged the tags vertically down the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock, alternating their directions to add visual interest.

To the right-hand side, I positioned the polaroid frame, which houses my photo. I raised it on foam pads to introduce some dimension. Behind the photo, I layered several florals from the Creative Cuts Ephemera cuts along with a couple of the Vellum Sticker Creative Cuts.

At this point, I paused and returned to the layout the following day. With fresh eyes, I decided I wanted to reposition the vellum stickers to make them more visible. I held my breath as I carefully peeled them off—but to my surprise, they lifted perfectly and I was able to reposition them with ease! What a fantastic product.

However, I still felt that the layout looked a little heavy on the right-hand side, so I created a smaller cluster on the left to help balance the page and make the design feel more cohesive. I used the same floral die cuts and vellum stickers, and added my title using one of the banners from the collection.

To extend the clusters slightly, I cut some small leafy sprigs from the Foiled Acetate Sheet and tucked them in behind the elements. I love how these add a subtle touch of sparkle.

Through the holes in the tags, I tied various Uniquely Creative threads to bring in a little more gold.

To finish, I added a couple of die-cut butterflies and a few dots of gold Crystal Nuvo Drops.

Thanks so much for reading. I hope you’re just as excited as I am to see this beautiful new brand in the store!

Be sure to pop back at the end of the month to see the second layout I’ve created with this stunning collection.

Take care,
Rebecca xx
