Howdy! Chantalle back with you again for my 2nd layout. This layout uses the new ’So Rad’ collection. Totally perfect for the dude in my life!
I’m also working with a Top Dog Banner die. I’ve made the most of the So Rad 6x6 pad and cut multiple banners which I have adhered in the centre of the page, to draw the eye in.
Experiment with different media. I used vellum with the die and tried to cut acetate (although the type I had was too thick, so it didn’t work this time around.) I’ve arranged the banners overlapping each other and then stitched them to my page using a sewing machine.
The photo sits in it’s own ‘cheat’ pocket. I was inspired by the awesome bonus pockets and die cut shapes you get with the So Rad Sn@p Cards!
• To create the pocket, I used a craft knife to carefully cut along the striped line on this Sn@p card. I didn’t cut all the way to edge, just enough to tuck my photo inside the slit. To prevent the photo from falling all the way through, I popped a bit of foam tape near the bottom of the underside of the card.
• I dislike my handwriting, so I used the notebook shape from the So Rad Bits & Pieces pack for journalling. I then attached this to my photo using an eyelet.
• Finally, I punched a hole into a star shaped chipboard sticker and threaded a small chain through it to connect it to the photo.
A couple of pencil doodles are a commitment-free way to add personality to your project. If you are happy with the result, you can always go over the line work in pen.
