Design Team: Stacy Cohen

I used the beautiful Modern Millinery "Net Mini Dot Black" Textile paper as the background for this layout.  I created two separate photo circles, then I handcut the flowers and leaves out of the Statement Floral paper and used them to embellish the circles.  I added the Modern Millinery black rhinestone trim around the circles for a little extra pizazz.  One of the die-cuts served as the place card for my page title.

Wendy Bretz is here to share an awesome 12"x12" Sarah Jane Layout.  Her layout is perfect to say the least - do you what we love most about it?  The way she takes a line that is targeted to a younger girl and makes it perfect for her "Tweens".  I LOVE IT!

I was so excited to get this brand new Making Memories Christmas line to work with.  I love the true reds and greens, along with the lighter shades mixed throughout the papers and embellishments.  And do you know what else I like?  I like the pops of black and gold - kind of traditional, but kind of unexpected at the same time.  The colors and designs are so easy to mix and match- and the embellishments are just plain fun to work with!

Repeating Shapes - Cardmaking

Today we have card inspiration for you!  I have seen lots of inspiration of repeating punched or die-cut shapes to create a card or layout.  We wanted to create an example using this same concept with the Modern Millinery program. 

Steps 1 & 2

You'll need paper for the background [white is shown], printed cardstock of your choice, and some embellishments [je t'adore embellishment box used here].  We also used our Slice and the applique card for our die-cutting.  We used a mix of pattern papers and then played around with the layout of the pieces.

This would be a simple shape to cut by hand if needed.  It creates a fun chevron pattern.

Steps 3 & 4

Next we added printed word strips and hand cut them into a similar shape as our die-cut pieces to keep a cohesive look.  Then we added embellishments to the card which included: pink rolled flower, gold glittler leaves and gems & pearls.

Here is our finished card. Perfect for any occassion!
