How to Layer Patterned Paper | CVS DT

 

Hey y'all! Laura Alberts back again with another boy layout featuring the Legendary collection. I absolutely loved this Brave Heart mixed media style patterned paper, but didn't want it to over power my photos. So, by layering white cardstock between the mixed media paper and the gray dot paper, the two work better together! I love the little photo corners I cut out of some scraps to give the center area a bit of dimension.

The title is from the clear sticker sheet, thought it has the look of handwriting or stamping! A small cluster of stars in several places on the layout were the minimal embellishing I added to this page. Most of the stars are fussy cut from the All Star patterned paper, but some are punched from scraps. Small dots of gold Nuvo Drops and gold ink splatter, along with hand-drawn stars add tiny details to each cluster.

I puzzled these photos together with the intention of creating the look of a modified grid, balanced, but yet off-kilter. I think this design works beautifully with these photos because it illustrates the nature of the castle featured there.  My favorite part of this layout is the clear sticker "Epic" on my photo with word phrases underneath. That small detail is just awesome!

 

I hope this layout inspires you to have some fun with the bold colors and patterns in the Legendary collection! To see how the “Super Awesome Adventure” layout came together, check out the process video below!

Using Up Stickers | CVS DT

 

Hey y'all! Laura Alberts back again with a bold and beautiful boy layout featuring the stickers in the Legendary collection. On the right side of the layout, I've created a trail of clear arrow stickers to add a border along that side and anchor the layered block to the side of the page. Then, alongside the right side of the bottom photo, I added a column of phrase stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet. The enamel dots give a little pop of dimension next to each phrase.

To the left of the photos, I layered clear star stickers around the die cuts to give a "stamped" effect. Love how clear stickers look on a white background! Then, I layered punched scraps and fussy cut stars all around the large die cut star (which I backed like a cut file with patterned paper). Enamel dots, Nuvo Drops, and ink splatter added the perfect detail finishers to this large star explosion!

The title may be my favorite part of this layout, it's fussy cut from the Epic Tales cut apart and fit perfectly in that spot at the bottom! I popped each letter up on foam to give it a bit of dimension and put them on a jaunty angle for a bit of fun. Love the way the colors of the letters tie the layout together. I added my journaling around the perimeter of the layout for an extra border.
