Hi there Simple fans! Today I'm combining some of my favorite pieces from Simple Stories' Happy SN@P Pack and some cool products from Tombow. I created this tumbling title page with my die cut machine and added a pop of color and texture using the Tombow Colorful Adhesive Dots.
Here's a step by step look at how to create this glass enamel look:
Create a cut file of tumbling words using your die cutting machine. Among the letters, choose a title and fit it in a prominent spot. Here I chose the word "cousin". Layer the die cut paper onto another sheet of white card stock. Then using a pencil, very lightly trace the title word onto the background.
Using the pencil guidelines, place the adhesive dots so that they form the letters in your title.
Cover the glue dots with clear embossing powder and set with a heat gun. You'll get a beautiful clear glass look as the embossing powder melts. Then place the alphabet die cut sheet over lining up the dots and glue down.
I love how the color really pops off the page. It's a word find within a scrapbook layout!
Here's a peek at this month in my Simple Stories Planner. I started by creating a dashboard using a transparency from the Enchanted line. I like to add post-its to these which I use throughout the month. A simple Bradz gives it a pop of color.
I kept the color scheme for October traditional with black, orange, gray and a pop of aqua. I used simple graphic label and alphabet stickers to keep the theme clean.
My daily pages are dressed up for Halloween. This one is my fairytale page with pops of color from the Enchanted line. This is as close to a princess costume I'm going to get!
