Colour Blocking

We would like to welcome Susanne Perry as the inaugural member of the Stickers 'N' Fun Design Team. She will be showcasing her talents each month here in the Stickers 'N' Fun Resource Centre. We are absolutely thrilled to have her on board and hope you will enjoy sharing in her layouts as much as we do.

Materials Used: Pebbles Inc Funky Flowers Stickers, Crafty Kids Funky Bright Green paper, blue cardstock, white cardstock, black cardstock, Spiral Paper Clip and Making Memories 7/16" Handwriting Black Lettering Stickers.

To recreate this layout, trim 4-5mm from each side of your green paper. Cut an approximately 1 inch thick frame from 12 inch square of blue cardstock (keep the middle section off-cut to use another time). Mount green paper onto the blue frame. Cut out the Funky Flowers stickers leaving the backing attached. Lightly pencil in your border and centre guidelines. Working on the left half of the page, experiment with the positioning of your stickers, photos & journaling until you are happy. Work parallel to your guidelines and try to keep your spacing consistent overall to give the full �block� effect. Repeat for the right side of the page.

Next, lightly mark the positions of your stickers, photos & journaling. Remove the backing from stickers & attach to layout. Then attach your photos. Mount white cardstock to black & adhere lettering stickers. Slide paperclip under the white card. Finally, mount your journaling block to layout.

If you would like to have any of your designs included in our resource centre, please email them to us at [email protected] (please make sure all files are .jpg or .gif).
