Punched Corners / Hollow Frame Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Frame Punches, National Scrapbook Day, Scrapbook Page Layouts, Spring Scrapbook Layouts by

Happy March! Spring is almost here, and I’m already seeing some of my earliest bulbs and perennials beginning to bloom — such a welcome sight!

This year, I’ll be using the NEW Spring Equinox Collection from Creative Memories to document all of my spring blooms and sweet spring memories. The colors and patterns are absolutely beautiful for the season!

For my Monthly Technique & Challenge Layout, I used the Spring Leaves Frame Punch to create a hollow frame with punched corners — and it makes such a gorgeous accent for a spring page! It adds beautiful detail while still keeping the layout light and fresh.

For this layout, I used the NEW Spring Equinox Collection along with Songbird Blue Cardstock from Creative Memories — such a fresh and cheerful combination for spring!

I created beautiful, punched corners using the Spring Leaves Frame Punch, which add such an elegant, detailed touch to the page. Be sure to watch my video for tips on creating those punched corners and a demonstration of the NEW Cutting Mat Layout Ruler to help create my hollow frame.

To finish it off, I added touches of white to brighten the layout and give it extra depth and dimension. It really makes the design pop!




For my second layout, I used the exclusive Sunbeam Frame Punch from the 2026 Secret Box #1 to create the punched corners of my hollow frame — such a fun and unique detail!

I paired it with the On the Bright Side Collection and used Bright White Cardstock to help temper the bold, cheerful colors of the papers. The white really balances everything and keeps the layout feeling clean and fresh.

You can purchase all of the tools and materials I used at Creative Memories. Thank you so much for shopping through my CM website link — I truly appreciate each and every purchase!

And don’t forget, I offer a generous Customer Rewards Program as my way of saying thank you for supporting my business.

3 Border Punch Layout Done 2 Ways

Posted in Autumn Scrapbook Layouts, Border Punches, Christmas Layouts, Fall Scrapbook Layouts by

Thank you so much for all of your great feedback about my Monthly Technique Layouts! It makes my heart happy to see so many of you creating and sharing these layouts. I received a request to show an idea using multiple punches together. In my demo video, I demonstrate how to layer three different border punches from Creative Memories to create a multi-dimensional border. And then I took the technique a step further, adapted it a bit and created a unique layout!

I used the same three border punches as I used for my demo border and created a dissected border that runs across three photo panels. The layout is full of layers and dimension and features a beautiful progression of monochromatic tones. For my layout above, I used the Grateful Harvest Collection with the Spring Leaves Frame Punch, Forest Mushrooms Border Punch and Leafy Vine Border Punch. I also used the Rich Cocoa Ink Pad to ink all of the pieces to add richness, depth and a rustic burnished look.

I used the same border technique and use of monochromatic colors for my second layout. This page has a totally different look that is bright and full of fun. I used the Gingerbread Collection with the Gingerbread Border Punch, Canning Jars Border Punch and Dollop Arch Frame Punch for this layout.

All of the items that I used for both layouts are current items with Creative Memories and are available for purchase.

Unique Use for the Spring Leaves Frame Punch

Posted in Family Scrapbook Layouts, Love Scrapbook Layouts, Spring Scrapbook Layouts, Technique Layout, Wedding Scrapbook Layouts by

I love to make pretty pages, and today I’m sharing a beauty! I used the new Spring Leaves Frame Punch and the Something Blue Collection from Creative Memories for my monthly technique layout and challenge.

We can use the frame punches to punch square and rectangular frames and borders. But we can also use them to punch inside frames! I started with 6″ x 6″ squares that I cut into hollow frames and then punched with the Spring Leaves Frame Punch. For my third frame, I used White Shimmer Cardstock as a pretty shimmery accent. Please note that this technique will only work with designer papers and thin shimmer cardstocks. Cardstock and heavier papers will likely jam your punch. This technique will also work with border punches in addition to frame punches.

For step-by-step instructions and a demo, please view my YouTube video. While you’re on YouTube, please also subscribe to my channel and click on the bell icon to receive notices when I add new videos.

I begin my video with a look at the very lovely Something Blue Collection that is the new wedding collection from Creative Memories. In the video, I show how many of the pieces can also be used for other types of layouts.
