Lovely Layout # 1

I've always loved a good layout as a recipe for creating projects. I am putting together a few of my favourite layouts that I find really easy and versatile.

The first uses one strip of DSP and a small rectangle for stamping and an embossed mat as your base layer.

It works well both Horizontally and Vertically.

Standard Card Base    21 x 14.8 scored at 10.5

Cardstock Mat            10 x 14.3 cm embossed with folder of your choice

White / vanilla            7 x 8.5 cm  ( for stamping your main image )

DSP strip                    5 x 12 cm

Sentiment                   2 / 2.5 cm x 9.5

One of the great things about this layout is that any piece of A4- white/ vanilla/ shimmer etc is 21 cm wide, so you can cut it into 3 strips from which to cut your main image piece. This is a great economical way to create multiple cards.

Here's a few from my recent Country Bouquet class. 

For the next 3 samples I have added assorted bits of glimmer/ foil/ edge detail to the stamped panel just for interest. These are not bulky like ribbon but great for using up bits and pieces!

I hope you give this great layout a try, and I will be posting a few more samples using these dimensions for some more inspiration.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"
