Noteworthy Days | Karyn Crops

Happy February! It’s the month of love, and I have a new heart layout for you. My Sticker Heart Layout is a great way to use leftover stickers! After scrapping with a collection, I’m often left with a few extra stickers that I just can’t throw away. This is especially true with Creative Memories Simple Page Kits. The Simple Page Kits include an entire sheet of stickers to give us options, but there will be some leftover stickers after creating the Simple Page layouts.

For my layout above, I used papers and stickers from the Noteworthy Days Collection and leftover stickers from the Noteworthy Days Simple Page Kits. The mishmash of sticker clusters really pop against the Bright White Cardstock background of my large heart. I also used Foam Squares to add dimension to some of the stickers.

I created my own jumbo heart template. Please refer to my YouTube video for a discussion about this. Instead of a heart background, you could use a different shape or use the technique to create borders.

My layout is going to be great for some Valetine’s Day selfies of my hubby and me! The close-up selfies will look great against the busy sticker background. Now that I have the layout completed, I’ll have to make sure that we celebrate with a dinner out or a visit to the bakery for a sweet dessert!

I focused on the border punches from Creative Memories for my August Technique Layout & Challenge. This technique will work with border punches that punch on the edge of paper or cardstock or knockout a design from the paper or cardstock. This technique will not work for a chain style border punch.

With this quick and easy technique, you only need to punch both ends of a strip of tonal paper and fold! Make sure to select a paper that has a different color tonal design on each side and use the 12-Inch Trimmer with the Scoring Blade to get a nice fold. The size of your strip will depend upon the border punch that you use. For my example above, I used the (retired) Bubble Scallop Border Punch with the Sun-Soaked Collection and my strip was 12″ x 4″.

For my layout above, I used the Noteworthy Days Collection, Floral Essential Embellishments and the (retired) Scalloped Crochet Border Punch. My strip for this border was larger at 12″ x 4-3/4″.

Please view my video to see a step-by-step demonstration of creating my first layout.
