Off We Go Layout by Kelly Daye


Saturday, August 24, 2024

Hello fellow scrappers! Kelly Daye here with a new Design Team layout using Paige’s colorful Adventurous collection and two cute cut files: Off We Go and Folded Circles. My idea of the perfect flight is a nice little nap along the way. I’m always prepared for ultimate comfort with my kitty mask and puffy neck ring!
To make the background, I cut the Folded Circles from a full sheet of Paper 7 from the 12x12 Paper Pad. This ensured that when folded, the pretty florals would show off around a white center. I wanted something a little more than a plain white background but not too overwhelming because I had planned for a very colorful luggage. The Off We Go cut file was cut from white cardstock. My goal was to back it with lots of pattern and color using Paper 5Paper 6Paper 15Paper 18, and even a tag from the Card Making Kit. I made an offset of the cut file in Silhouette Studio, used a straight pin to make holes for stitching, then chain stitched with all six strands of white DMC floss. I made shakers in the letter O’s using the same technique as my Splash layout, using a stacked-paper technique rather than 3D foam tape. Learn how by watching my YouTube, beginning at 4:00 minutes. I added my photo in a frame Chipboard, embellished with a Rub OnMini Thickers, and Mini Puffy StickersFloral Die CutsEnamel Stickers, more Mini Puffy Stickers, another Rub On and that gorgeous floral airplane from the Ephemera Die Cuts made up a magic triangle around my layout. Making three focal points in a triangle on your layout is a popular scrapbook technique - it’ll take a viewer all around your project with hits of interest to focus on. Finally, to frame it all together, I chain stitched a border all around the edge using two variegated DMC threads: #4100 and #4080. I hope these tips, tricks, and details will help you celebrate your own special moments using Paige’s new Adventurous collection with your favorite Paige Evans cut files!
