What are some good scrapbooking tecniques?
I love to scrapbook but Im in search of some cool new to me tecniques that are really creative and fun? got any?
i dont know what techniques you know but here are a few ideas, hope you enjoy them
Make Simple Decorative Borders
Begin by choosing a wide-tipped, acid-free, permanent scrapbooking pen in black or any color that coordinates with your page layout.
Draw a thick straight line with this pen anywhere that you would like to border, for example down one side of the page, around a corner of a page, or on opposite sides of facing pages for a two-page spread.
Next, add one or more thin lines using fine tipped pens over the bold line in a contrasting color and shape (wavy, zigzag, scalloped, etc.).
Now add stickers to fill-out the border. Consider small stickers that coordinate with the theme of your page. Adhere these stickers on and around the lines you have drawn.
Finish the look by using fine tipped pens to add simple filler doodles like tiny dots, swirls, motion marks, little hearts, or use your own imagination.
Tips:
Try using stickers from two different sets like hearts and bows, music notes and flowers, or party hats and gifts.
Experiment with different colors and shapes of the lines in step 3 to achieve an endless supply of different looks.
Dotted lines can be used to indicate motion on borders, for example falling leaves or snow flakes look great with swirling dotted lines “floating” on the page above them.
Here’s how to create a similar page for yourself:
Supplies:
2 sheets cardstock-your “go to” colors. For me that’s always black and white.
patterned paper scraps
decorative scissors
a black pen- mine is Micron by Sakura of America
alphabet stickers
assorted embellishments like buttons and Prima paper flowers
Step #1:
Choose your background. Trim one piece to 8.5″ x 11″ and the other to 8″ x 10.5″. Use decorative scissors along each side of the smaller piece to create a decorative edge. Adhere smaller piece to larger cardstock mat.
Step #2:
Set up your blocking. Using my photo as a starting point I cut coordinating scrap papers to create a blocked page design. Then, keeping the outside edges clean and straight, I used the decorative scissors along the inside edges of each blocked piece, including my photograph.
Step #3:
Create a title design. I used Kelly Panacci alphabet stickers by Sandylion and added my own handwriting and doodles to finish off the title. To give the word “dream” some impact, I outlined each sticker with a black Micron pen.
Step: 4:
Choose embellishments. Use the scissors to free-hand a simple shape such as a heart or flower and add matting using your cardstock scraps. Place embellishment in lower left corner.
Step #5:
Add journaling and embellishments. I was surprised how many things I had tucked away that were just the right color for this page-dig through your stash and you may be surprised too. I used Prima from the “Day Spa” color collection and assorted buttons. Once I started adding the little goodies, I just kept going. I filled the entire inside of the heart shape with Primas and buttons using clear adhesive dots and finally a couple accents in the title block.
