More fun with the May Gibbs designs from Paper Rose.
This time there 3 simple designed layouts using the Christmas collection.
LAYOUT 1
LAYOUT 2
LAYOUT 3
I've started this third layout, but struck a small problem.
I had an idea in my head. I have done that idea. But now unsure on what my next step with be to finish the layout off...
Or I could just do something very me with my new assessment of how scrapping brings joy for me, and simply be ok with it being done cause I've already successfully achieved what I had imaged anyway...
Alright.. Here we are........
One of my fav interactive layouts I've done.
I had added some twine & mesh ribbon, but other than that I have stuck to only the paper & stickers than came in the Graphic 45 12x12 collection kit.
I have had this collection for a while (since it was first released).... I forgot about it until I had my big paper tidy up last week. 😆
This video shows the measurements, paper choices & assembly of the interactive base.
Off camera I added the embellishments & clusters. But stick around, as there is a completed share & show video at the end and some photos to finish it all off.
Feel free to mute me & fast forward if you want.. lol.
Measurements:
A- 12x12 (this is your base)
B- 12x10 score at 1" for flap - 11x10
C- c + c1 9x6 ... i 3x12
D- d + d1 8 1/2 x 4 1/2
E- 9x9
F- f 8x5 ..... 2x sliders for e pockets 7x6
G- 12x6 1/2 score at 4 & 8 fold into an accordian - 6 1/4 x 4 (this will slide into f pocket window)
H- 10x10
extra cardstock - 2x slider for d pockets 7 1/2 x 4
- 8x Waterfall 6x4 score at 1/2" for flap - 5 1/2 x 4
Acetate - 7 1/2 x 4 1/2 (for f pocket window)
Assembly order:
A - I - adhere H to B flap, stick down H - cut slit in E - add C & C1 flaps together & adhere to left back side of E - stick down E on too of B - Cut 1" window frame from F - adhere Acetate to back of F frame - adhere to under the slit on E (use foam tape to 3D window to make pocket) - slip in all the pocket sliders - open B to side to reveal H - on top of H add the Waterfall flaps.
Then enjoy & embrace your creative process by adding whatever embellishments you wish..
Photos below are definitely out of order, sorry! The best option is to watch the video for assembly and project share at the end once it's all put together..
Let me know what you think! Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
On one of the crafty fb groups someone asked how to cut diagonally down a 12x12" page, as the cutters / trimmers don't fit the paper in...
Many people were suggesting long rulers or folding it.. But of course, me being me and loving a good puzzle walked into my craft room to find a solution that wouldn't damage the paper or having to buy another tool that will rarely be used..
USE YOUR CRAFT MAT!
We all have craft mats of some kind...
Slide your paper under diagonally, line it up. Draw the pencil line & then cut with the scissors.
No extra cost & no damaging the paper your about to use or the other scrap side for future projects..
Let me know what you think! Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
