We have found an awesome technique for you to try out! Creating your own herringbone paper pattern! This is a great way to use all of your paper scraps and be able to combine your own colors to get the exact look you want.
We were inspired by this pin from pinterest on how to create a herringbone block for quiliting. Of course since we are working with paper and wanted to keep a 12" x 12" paper size we altered the instructions. However, wouldn't it be amazing to create a herringbone block quilt?
The FINISHED look - Modern Millinery Double-Sided Paper
1. Pick 2 to 6 different patterns
2. Cut paper into 2" x 12" strips [could go down to 9"]
3. Layout strips in the order that you want them in the pattern
4. Tape 2 strips together by flipping the papers over and using clear tape on the both ends
5. Choose a base paper - note the pattern will show a little at the bottom so make sure it is one you like.
6. Draw a line down the middle [6" mark]
7. Now to the fun part - line up the first set of two strips at the angle you want. We lined ours up with the bottom corner of the strip, with your ruler draw a line so you know where to cut. Repeat this step for the next two sets of two strips.
8. Ok this is kind of the tricky part, but a nice short cut. Now that you have cut lines drawn on the three sets for the the leftside of the paper we can match them up with the right side papers and just make one cut.
9. You will the tape sides together and then make the cut that you have drawn. Then they are both at the same angle and ready to go. Way better then measuring again.
10. Add adhesive [we used double sided tape, anything will be fine] to the base paper. Remember that some of the base will show so don't put adhesive on the very bottom.
11. Place papers in desired order. Repeat this step for the other side.
12. Flip the paper over and trim off excess with exacto knife.
13. You are DONE! Yay, now you have your own personalized herringbone paper.
Sometimes a layout is too good to hide in a book and what better way to show it off then framing it in a shadow box. We think it is a great idea!

Ok, so maybe you aren't a quilter and you are wondering why you would want a Slice Fabrique? There are a million reasons why you would want one [and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased] but this machine is amazing and you can create so many cool projects! We have a new design card coming out late Spring called Knick Knack, the design are amazing and look how great this sweater turned out. Do you remember the post on InvisiCut? Well here is another great use for that, cute lace or delicate materials for projects! What do you think?
Cut out your shapes in a cotton fabric and a lace, then add some pearls and you have yourself a goregous DIY project.
Hello everyone! I am very honored to be featured today on the Making Memories blog. This is my very first guest designer opportunity and I am very excited! Today I created this layout of my youngest son. I thought the Sarah Jane - Children At Play Collection would be perfect for a young boy or tween.
Here are the instructions:
Ink and distress edges of kraft cardstock.
Cut four squares of patterned paper 3 inches long by 3 inches wide. Ink edges. I used Tim Holtz “Rusty Hinge” Distress Ink
Place patterned paper squares as shown on layout and adhere to kraft cardstock.
Cut lilac colored paper to 3 ½ inches wide by 5 ½ inches long and ink edges with Tim Holtz “Milled Lavender” Distress Ink. Adhere 3X5 photo onto photo mat. Place photo and photo mat on layout using dimensional squares.
Cut three border stickers, layer and apply under photo as shown.
Apply Ranger Glossy Accents to all the diecuts, the striped area of tag, and orange letter stickers except for journal sticker and frame diecut. Let dry.
Place tags, sticker and diecuts as shown on layout and adhere. The rocket diecuts, striped tag, one number “6”, journaling sticker and bicycle diecut are all adhered with 3D dimensional squares. The stars, frame diecut and “6” on journaling sticker are simply adhered to the cardstock.
Attach small piece of orange ric rac to tag, tie and trim edges neatly.
Write journaling on journal sticker and orange sticker.
Apply mini stickers (things about you) and (you) inside of frame diecut.
I hope you liked this layout that I created. Please check out my blog at http://lee-annelovethejourney.blogspot.com/ for more scrappy goodness.
