Hello my crafty friends
My gosh this year is fast approaching the end.
My layout today features no photos but I hope it inspires you to use the Stamperia Ballerina range. It is stunning.
Some of these papers I have to admit I do find a little intimidating, I really don't know what to do with them sometimes.
I have plenty of little girl photos but how can I use then and still make the paper visible in its beauty.
Well I have given it a go, I hope you like.
Step 1
Fussy Cutting.
Yes fussy cutting.... I can hear you groan but sometimes its the only way to go.
I fussy cut the Ballerinas so I could mount it on top of itself on the page.
Step 2.
I cut the second sheet of my papers I had chosen at the 6.5 inch mark.
Then scored a .5 inch from the edge pressed that back and glued the .5 inch about 2 inches in from the left edge of my first chosen paper
Step 3
I precut white cardstock to the required size for the photos.
I laid this out to get an idea as to where and how they would fit and look on the page.
Step 4
On the right edge of the layout I stuck another piece of the first paper. This was about 3 x 4 inches then I scored it at the 3.5 inch mark, folded that and stuck to the edge of the right side of the second paper. This gave me extra space for 2 small photos.
Finally this was the layout of the page that I chose.
I have left space for journaling.
Step 5
Once construction and fussy cutting was complete it is time to decorate.
As these pages are already so beautiful and so as to not lose to much of that, I decorated very simply.
You will notice the piece of string in a bow that ties the charm to the smaller flip out on the right edge of the layout.
Step 6
I mounted the fussy cut Ballerina over herself on the outside of the flip out part,
then added diecut hearts that were colored with some distress oxides and attached with glue.
This is the finished layout.
I hope this inspires you to grab some of this beautiful Stamperia papers and try them out.
sometimes "less is more"
