I can hardly believe the leaves are starting to change, the air is getting cooler and there are signs of Fall all around us.
For today's layout, I decided to feature Thermoweb Deco Foil in the color of pumpkins to foil some pretty leaves and add a splash of elegance to a silly Halloween Costume story.
Start by printing scripted paper on your laser printer. It must be a laser printer to work with Deco Foils. Using your favorite Die Cutting machine cut out leaves from the scrip paper.
Apply the deco foil color side up on top of the leaves and enclose in a piece of copy paper or parchment paper and run through your laminator. For best results, make sure your laminator is preheated for at least 10-15 minutes.
Using your electronic die cutter (I use the Cricut Explore Air), print then cut some fun leaf embellishments and titles. I chose a digital set by Wilna Furstenberg.
Begin assembling and layering elements on the layout using a mixture of the Thermoweb Adhesive Tape Runner, Glue Dots and Foam Squares to add multiple layers of dimension.
If you'd like to see more details on how this layout was assembled, watch the process video below:
We try and come up with fun themes to base our pocket letter swaps on. This particular theme was black and white.
Originally I had pulled out a bunch of black and white pattern papers from my stash, but just before I started to put this together, I had a different idea. Black and White photos. This is what I love about themes. They are totally up to your personal interpretation. There is no right or wrong.
This pocket letter is "out of the box" for me, and I think one of my most favorite yet.
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to share my projects this week. I am up on the Thermoweb blog today. When
we received the Cartabella Rustic Elegance collection as part of our
partner week, my jaw dropped. This kid it drop dead gorgeous!
It's so simple to create tons of beautiful wedding projects with this kit.
For
the cards shown above, simply cut out the gorgeous pattern papers
included in the Cartabella Rustic Elegance kit. Layer as shown using
Thermoweb foam squares. Add double layers of foam squares to add even
more dimension. Die cut circles and simply add the stickers included
in the kit. Add a little stitching around the edges for an extra touch
of texture.
To
assemble the two cards above, again use the pattern papers to cut
standard A2 cards and layer as shown. Use Thermoweb Foam Squares to pop
the elements off the page. Add some gold thread secured with a
Thermoweb Mini Zot. Layer the stickers and die cuts over the top.
Adhere the card front to the card bases using the Thermoweb Adhesive
Runner.
And that's it! Easy peasy. I created these
four cards in no time and have plenty left to make several more. I have
to say, this is one of the most pretty wedding kits I've ever seen.
Have
a beautiful weekend! I actually have a wedding reception to attend
tomorrow and I know just where to get a card!
