Simple Stories & Top Dog Dies Product Swap - Day 2
Howdy! Layle [1] here with you again today for a 3rd project for day 2 of our Simple Stories & Top Dog Dies Product Swap!
Both design teams have swapped products and will be sharing on our blogs all week long. Join us for some great inspiration as well as a chance to win a prize package from both Top Dog Dies & Simple Stories!
Today we'll have 3 (yes, 3!) posts from design team member Chantalle McDaniel with 3 stunning layouts using our 3 newest collections & 3 Top Dog Dies. Here's Chantalle's last project -

My final share today is this airy page using the new ‘So Fancy' collection and the Circle Die Set from Top Dog.
When I was testing this die out, I initially thought about using the shapes in a circular pattern on the page. One of the shapes came out half cut, where the test paper had failed to cover the area, and I thought how much the shape looked like a little cloud. Total change of plan and I ended up with this arrangement instead. I love how that kind of evolution takes place in a project sometimes!
I wanted to keep the page uncluttered, so I have kept lots of space between the elements - topping the circle shape with half the middle, flower-like shape. Some have been raised on foam tape for dimension and one has been given a sparkly finish with the addition of some fine glitter. Some others have been stamped for interest.
To compliment the ’So lovely’ banner, I have snipped the edges of a couple of phrases from the So Fancy Expressions sticker sheet and added them at intervals behind the circles. A few enamel dots and photo stickers add whimsy and as a final flourish, some small paint spatters (fake the really tiny ones with a good white pen, like a Uni-ball Signo.)
Thank you so much for stopping by today. If you would like to see more of what I get up to, you are most welcome to pop by and say hello on Instagram @chantallemcdaniel.
