American Crafts | Love You

Hi There!  I had a post go up on the American Crafts blog yesterday for Love week and I would like to share it with you!  I used the brand new Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy collection!

I love all of the papers in the Fine and Dandy collection.  I layered

punched pieces over large letters to create a big impact title for

my page.

How to:

Use a die cutting machine to to cut out a large "Love" title out of white cardstock.  Using a circle punch, punch out several circle pieces from various pieces of patterned papers. Run adhesive along the front of the large "Love" title.  Layer the circle punched pieces into rows and adhere down to title.  Print a small photo and cut to fit within the "O" shape in the love title.  Drop droplets of paint and ink across a kraft cardstock background.  Adhere "Love" title and photo onto cardstock background.  Using a sewing machine and black thread, stitch around the the large "Love" title.  Trim the banner words "This Is My Fave" from Celebrate Patterned paper.  Place a strip of washi tape along the bottom left hand side of title.  Layer banner words on top.  Spell out the word "You" with gold foil heart thickers and adhere to bottom right hand side of the letter "E".  Embellish the page with ephemera pieces, stickers and confetti pieces.

I hope you enjoyed my love themed layout today!  Thanks for looking!
