Scrapbook layouts - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

6 simple and easy Scrapbooking layouts  – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits


Christmas Traditional Kit 




This layout is all about layers and a large cluster, using only paper found in the Christmas kit.

*tip- Begin by fussy cutting everything out from your bonus mystery sheets. This makes designing and placing your cluster pieces much easier and quicker later on.

Start by cutting a large circle from your base pattern paper using a circle cutter / electric cutting machine / tracing a plate towards the bottom left side– Ornaments  approx. 9” diameter. Flip the circle over, the reverse side will be included in the layered design.

Holiday Floral – cut to fit over the hole  9.1/4”x10”
Woodgrain- is your next layered piece. This sits vertically on the left, about 1” from the side. It is roughly 3” wide and I have torn both long sides.

Place your pattern circle on top of this, roughly in the middle of the 12” layout so it is off centre to the layers. I have included a 5”x7” photo insert. You are able to use whatever size photo suits your needs.

To make the layout pop, use foam tape / 3D dots to raise your cluster elements. I have used fussy cuts from the bonus sheets, stickers from the sticker sheet and tags. *tip- lay all of your pieces before sticking them down. Take a photo with your phone, then use that as a guide to stick all pieces onto your layout. Creating dimension with foam tape as you go.








More simple layouts - 45min to make!

On a white cardstock base, use a plate or circle template, trace around to make a simple wreath design.  Then get a bit messy to create a fun background. I used the "sploshing" technique -stamp an ink pad onto a piece of plastic, spritz some water and swirl around so there are no solid lines / edges. Then dip and splosh this onto your cardstock. Let dry or dab up the access with some tissue. 
Grab loads of stickers from the sticker sheet included in the kit and place them randomly to creative a long cluster over the wreath lines. *tip- use foam tape / 3D dots to add a dimension element to the page.  To finish off the layout I added a 5"x7" photo insert and a title under it. 


Layers are what makes these layouts so quick and easy. Without adding anything, we can create several fun and fast layouts using only what is in the kit. 
Base - Holly Berries 12"x12" 
Header & Footer layer - Holiday Floral 3.1/2"x12". Tear at 1" long ways to give two pieces. Place the thinner piece at the top and the larger piece on the bottom. This is act as a pocket for the tags. 
Fussy cut out all your tags on the pattern paper and randomly place them along the bottom red paper. Tuck some under and place some on top. Use foam tape / 3D dots to add dimension. 
I have included a 6"x8" photo insert, however this would look great with either 2 or 3 4"x6" photos side by side. 


This was another fun layout that I made using the very last 12"x12" paper in my kit - Wreaths. 
I torn a circle hole in the middle and rolled the edges out to make a window design. Using the reverse of the paper, I have the cute wreaths just poking out the back.  I added some solid red by sliding in an off cut of Holiday Floral also. I used a 4"x6" photo insert and added my cluster of tags, fussy cuts and stickers on top in the left side, tucked under the main 12"x12" pattern paper. 
There is still so much more that you can do with this layout. Please feel free to add!!!! *tip- make this design your own by adding a journaling element, title and even some clusters hanging over the outside of the window hole. 



Start with adding a white cardstock base for this layout. 
Cut a 1" frame all the way around using Festive Florals. 
From that, cut another square 10"x10". Place this piece on the reverse side in the middle. Create a photo flap, so you can have 3 photos on the layout. On on top and two when flap is lifted. I have used 4.3/4"x6.3/4 photo insert (5x7 trimmed down) however, you can make this flap to suit any size photos you are using. 
I used some red ink spray to add some colour and then finished off the layout with a 9.3/4" x 3.1/2" journal mat and embellishment cluster.
