Believe… A Christmas Layout

Hi! It is Lisa Lahiff here with you today and I am sharing a layout using red, white, and green with a touch of gold. The Holidays seem to be filled with hustle and bustle, and at my house a lot of photos too. I love being able to scrap the little moments after all of the hoopla is over, and to take a photo and reflect on what was happening at that time. So let’s take a look at some step by step photos on how my layout came together…

1. To start I made all of my cuts from my cardstocks. (Cardstocks I have used include: Basis: Dark Red, Pop Tones: Gumdrop Green, Jelly Bean Green, Silk Glitter Cardstock: Red Flash, Bright Foil: Gold, WoodGrain Savanna Frozen Limba, CCS Gold Glitter, Basis Premium White 12 x 12″).

2. I left the Dark Red Cardstock it’s original size and rounded the bottom corners, adhering this to my 12 x 12″ base. Next I trimmed a mat for my photo from the gold glitter cardstock 1/4″ bigger on both sides of the photo. I also used a strip of gold glitter cardstock and adhered it to the left side under the red.

3. Next I added my 2″ squares cut from the green cardstocks in a pattern along the bottom half. I also added my white border just under my photo.

4. Next, I adhered all of my die cut and punched out shapes.

5. I then finished my layout off with a few extra embellishments including some buttons and a wood tree cut out.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope I’ve inspired you with another way to use your cardstock during this upcoming Holiday Season!
Happy Crafting!
Lisa
