Hello hello! Paige Evans here today to show you how to create a fun background for die cut shapes:
First, gather your supplies:
Washi Tape #1 DT101, Washi Tape #2 DT102, Lace Borders R553, P7826 Elegant Labels, P7906 On Edge Borders, Mini Brocade HP067, High Tea HP032, Little Hearts HP000, Hanging Heliconias HP458, Little Circles HP452, ATC Patchwork HP402, Brocade HP386, Woodgrain HP377,
Lattice HO834, Doily Decor HO765
Other: Cardstock, pen, adhesive, scissors, paper cutter, die cut machine
Design a title for your layout background. I used Silhouette Studio and a Silhouette Cameo.
Die cut the image from white cardstock.
On a scrap piece of 12x12 cardstock, start layering washi tape, patterned paper, transparencies, border stickers, and rub ons diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.
Continue adding strips until the entire paper is covered.
Trim the excess from the edges.
Glue the die cut cardstock on top.
Add journaling spot stickers to an empty corner and write on them with a black pen.
Step back and admire your work!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the layout and the mixture of tape, paper and transparency. Can you tell me what fonts you used for your title?
