This week I created a brand new layout with one of their most adorable stickers – their Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

Materials Used: Patchwork CranApple Red Burlap paper, Sandylion Burlap paper, Paper Garden Speckle Plaid – Periwinkle paper, Colorbok Sue’s Blue Plaid paper, blue cardstock, cream cardstock, blue ink, red ink, a blue pen, blue alphabet stickers and Sandylion Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

This layout was fairly quick and easy to make. It’s charm lies in the combination of rich colours and the cute accents provided by my Sandylion stickers.

If you would like to try re-creating this layout, there are a couple of techniques you might like to include:

1.    I matted my stickers on cream cardstock. These particular Sandylion stickers have a clear background. By sticking them on cream cardstock and then cutting them out, I gave them a thin cream border. This helps them stand out from my page and adds a sense of warmth that really captures your attention and draws you in.

2.    If you look at the large squares that form most of the background, you will notice that they have white edges. To create this effect, I ran the edge of my scissors along each side. This strips some of the colour off your paper and gives it a white edge. It’s a great way to quickly add texture and interest to your scrapbooking layouts.

3.    When I placed the piece of blue and white plaid paper on my page, I felt it looked a bit flat. It was missing something. I didn’t really want to mat it, but I wanted to make it look more interesting. So, I inked the edges with blue ink to give and used a blue pen to draw in a border. This helps it stand out from my page and focus attention on the area where the photos are to go.

I hope you’ll give try these techniques on your own scrapbooking layouts. I use them all the time – especially matting my stickers. I always find that matting stickers makes them that little bit extra special. It draws attention to them and helps you set the scene for your all-important photos.

Materials Used: White Bazzil cardstock, pink cardstock, blue Bazzil cardstock, Kaisercraft scrapbooking papers, Doodlebug alphabet stickers and Sticko Colourful Butterflies stickers.

This layout was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright cheerful colours and the streamlined arrangement of the different elements on the page.

If you would like to give it a go, it is very quick and easy to recreate. All you need are a few pieces of co-ordinating papers and cardstock in the colours and patterns that match your photos and your favourite Sticko stickers.

When embellishing your page, don’t forget to use some of your stickers to dress up your title. It’s a great way to give your layout a personal touch and a unique look. On my scrapbooking layout, I have dressed up the letters of my title with a butterfly sticker and a small heart sticker. I have also drawn attention to them by placing flower stickers around my title. It gives my page that extra special touch.

You might also like to consider matting some of your stickers with cardstock. It gives them a little more dimension and helps them stand out from your page.

I hope you like my new creation using butterfly Sticko stickers.

The key is to choose scrapbooking papers that are not too busy and do not feature too many colours. Also, in this layout, the floral paper is complimented with a plain paper in the same hue.

Materials Used: Papers from the Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper collection, Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper, orange cardstock, green alphabet rub-ons, brown pen and miscellaneous butterfly stickers.

To recreate this layout, follow these instructions:

1. Set aside your orange cardstock for your background.

2. Cut four strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper measuring 5cm by 25.3cm. Adhere one strip vertically in the bottom left corner of your page and another vertically in the top right corner of your page.
 
3. Turn your remaining two strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper over so you can no longer see the blossoms design. Adhere one horizontally in the top left corner of your page and the other horizontally in the bottom right corner of your page.
 
4. Arrange your photos to form a square in the middle of your page. I have used a 6×8 photo for the large photo and cropped two 4×6 photos to create my square.

5. Cut out a large blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms scrapbooking paper and adhere on top of join between all three of your photos.
 
6. Cut a strip of Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper measuring 1cm by 25.3cm. Turn it over so you can only see the green side (you could use green cardstock for this instead). Adhere across the top left of your page, as shown in the layout above.

7. Cut out a medium size blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper and adhere in the top left corner of your page, on top of your green strip.
 

8. Finish off your page with a title in the bottom right corner. To create my title, I have used green alphabet rub-ons and a brown pen, but you could use any combination of alphabet stamps, stickers, rub-ons or pen work.

9. Finally, add a butterfly sticker or something similar to finish off your title.

Materials Used: Cloud 9 Pink Hearts paper, American Traditional Glitter paper, My Minds Eye Quite Smitten Surprise Bouquet paper, Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbon paper, Karen Foster Purple Houndstooth paper, white cardstock, light purple cardstock, pink cardstock, a purple pen, random pink alphabet stickers and Sticko Metallic Butterflies stickers.

To recreate this scrapbooking idea using butterfly scrapbooking stickers, follow these steps:

1. Use the Cloud 9 Pink Hearts paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of American Traditional Glitter paper measuring approximately 10.7cm by 11.8cm. Glue vertically in the top right corner of your page approximately 1.5cm from the right edge and 1.7cm from the top edge.

3. Cut a second piece of American Traditional Glitter paper, this time measuring approximately 2cm by 10.5cm. Glue vertically on the left side of your page approximately 1.5cm from the left edge and 8cm from the top edge.

4. Cut a piece of My Minds Eye Quite Smitten Surprise Bouquet paper measuring approximately 23cm by 2.4cm. Glue towards the bottom left corner of your page approximately 2.5cm from the left edge and 1.9cm from the bottom edge.

5. Cut a piece of Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbon paper measuring approximately 25 by 4.8cm. Mat with white cardstock and glue across the bottom of your page approximately 3.6cm from the bottom edge. The left edge should be up against the left edge of your paper, as shown in the scrapbooking idea above.

6. Cut a piece of Karen Foster Purple Houndstooth paper measuring approximately 25cm by 2.4cm. Glue across your Paper Ribbon paper from step #5 approximately 0.6cm below the top edge of your Paper Ribbon paper.

7. Mat a vertical 4×6 photo with light purple cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 4.2cm from the left edge and 3.2cm from the top edge. You will find it sits nicely in the top left corner of your pink paper.

8. Mat a smaller vertical photo with white cardstock and again with light purple cardstock. Glue next to your first photo. It should sits nicely in the top right corner of your pink paper, as shown above.

9. Use a random collection of pink alphabet stickers to write your title in the space underneath your small photo.

10. Cut a circle from pink cardstock. It should be about 5.3cm in diameter. Using a purple pen, draw a dotted border around the edge.

NOTE: If you want to conceal a small detail, like a date, include it in your dotted circle as I have done.

11. Mat your pink circle with light purple cardstock. You can use a plain or decorative-edged circle. For added effect, add a dashed border as well!

12. Glue your circle towards the bottom right corner of your page. I positioned mine as if it was at the end of my Paper Ribbons paper, but the exact positioning is up to you. When in place, add two metallic butterfly scrapbooking stickers, as shown above.

13. Finally, add 3 or 4 extra metallic butterfly stickers around your page.

Butterflies make stunning embellishments for your scrapbooking layouts. And they are so versatile! I have used them in combination with my flower photos, but they work beautifully with photos of weddings, anything with girls, romance, vacations and much more.

Stickopotamus (Sticko for short) stickers from EK Success are amongst the best. They offer a wide variety of flat, glitter, vellum, shiny and metallic butterfly stickers to choose from. They come in pretty pinks, pastel purples, bright oranges and all sorts of other fun colour combinations so there is something for everyone.

Butterfly stickers can be used on a wide variety of scrapbooking projects including feminine layouts, layouts of flowers and the beauty of the great outdoors, off-the-page items like photo frames or tins and so much more.

In this layout, I have used glittery pink butterfly stickers from Sticko to compliment my pink flower photo:

Materials Used: Pink cardstock, Scrapbooking Australia Strawberry Candy paper, Provo Craft Pink Stripes paper, burgundy cardstock, white cardstock, pink ink, a brown pen, pink ribbon, Around the Block Black Alphabet stickers and Stickopotamus stickers.

This layout was surprisingly easy to create. I used a sketch from 500 Scrapbooking Sketches to guide my design.

Here are some tips to note when re-creating a layout like this.

1. The background paper was not a true 12×12 paper (don’t you hate that!) so I matted it on pink cardstock. It gave the layout a nice pink border as well as made my page 12×12.

2. To create the border around the pink stripes paper, I first used a brown pen to lightly draw a handful of horizontal and vertical lines in the top right and left corners. I then used a pink ink pad to brush ink all around the top and side edges. I used a criss-cross pattern for added interest.

3. Two of the butterfly stickers were matted with white cardstock to help them stand out from the background.

4. The alphabet stickers were not placed in a straight line. This was to make them more interesting, but also to help them fit.

5. There are several torn edges on this page. When tearing paper, always tear slowly and towards you for more control.

Butterfly stickers add a beautiful touch to your scrapbooking layouts. Give them a go. You might be surprised at just how gorgeous your pages turn out!
