Sweet On You Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Heart Scrapbook Layouts, Love Scrapbook Layouts, Scrapbook Borders, Winter Scrapbook Layouts by

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope that your day is happy and filled with love! I like to create pretty pages and find unique ways to use Creative Memories tools. For Valentine’s Day, I was inspired to find a new way to use the Infinity Heart Border Punch and create a layout using the Sweet on You Collection. This layout will also look beautiful with the new Something Blue Collection.

I love the large chunky border that I created by cutting apart and threading pieces that I punched with the Infinity Heart Border Punch! I added some extra love with letters and hearts punched from the recently retired Love Letters Punch. I used the Original Border Maker System with the Notebook Edge Border Maker Cartridge to add a decorative edge to my journaling box.

To Create My Layout:
1. Cut a piece of Hot Fudge Cardstock to 12″ x 7-5/8″. Cut a piece of the icon paper to 12″ x 7-3/8″, and adhere to the cardstock piece. Adhere the layered piece 3/4″ from the bottom of a sheet of brown striped paper.
2. Cut three 12″ x 1/4″ strips from the red paper.
3. Use the Infinity Heart Border Punch to punch two borders from White Cardstock. Use Micro-Tip Scissors to cut apart the borders into segments of three, two and one as shown. Thread a red strip through each segment, and adhere to the page as shown.
4. Use the Love Letters Punch to punch three words from White Cardstock and six hearts from red paper. Adhere the love letters to the strips as shown. Use Foam Squares to adhere the hearts as shown.
5. Cut a 2-1/4″ x 5″ piece of Hot Fudge Cardstock. Cut a 2-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ piece of white grid paper. Use the Original Border Maker System with the Notebook Edge Border Maker Cartridge to punch one long edge of the white grid paper and adhere to the hot fudge piece. Adhere the layered piece to the layout. Use the NEW Tab Punch to punch a tab from White Cardstock. Cut the tab in half, and adhere to the top of the journaling box.
6. Cut four 4″ x 4″ photo mats from Hot Fudge Cardstock and adhere to the layout as shown.
7. Add stickers with Foam Squares and love letters to the journaling box.

Easy Jumbo Heart Layout

Posted in Heart Scrapbook Layouts, Love Scrapbook Layouts, Scrapbook Page Layouts, Technique Layout by

I LOVE making pretty pages, and hearts are one of my favorite motifs. With a loving hubby and two sweet granddaughters, it’s easy to find photos for heart themed layouts. Search my blog for “love” and “hearts”, and you’ll see many heart layouts that I’ve created over the years. This year, I used a quick technique with squares to create a large heart background and used the Love Letters Punch from Creative Memories to add words around my hearts.

For my first layout, I used the new This Life Collection from Creative Memories. This is a great basic collection in primary colors that can be used throughout the year for all sorts of layouts. This Life Word Embellishments are my favorite part of the collection. It’s an entire pack of titles! CM also offers a This Life Calendar Kit Bundle and Simple Page Kits that coordinate with the This Life Collection. Look for these items to remain in the product line for all of 2024.

For my second layout, I used the super cute Sweet on You Collection from Creative Memories. This is a mini collection that features a paper pack with 6 sheets, a single sheet of stickers and a layered frame. The heart, strawberry, and donut icons are fun, and I love how they’ve included shades of brown to temper all of the pink and red. I used this collection to create a layout for the Creative Memories Blog. Please click here to see my layout on the CM Blog.


I embellished both of my layouts with letters punched with the Love Letters Punch. This punch recently sold out, but it was in our product line for over a year. I still have some in my personal inventory if you’re interested. Please watch my video for tips on using the Lifter Stick, Multi-Purpose Tool and Repositionable Tape Runner for easily and quickly placing and adhering the small, punched letters.

Pretty Punched Scrapbook Borders

Posted in Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Family Scrapbook Layouts, Love Scrapbook Layouts, Spring Scrapbook Layouts, Technique Layout, Winter Scrapbook Layouts by

Creative Memories offers some of the best scrapbooking tools on the market. Some of the tools stay constant in the product line while others retire and are replaced with new tools.  Over the years, I’ve collected a LARGE assortment of Creative Memories punches and border maker cartridges, and I LOVE to find new ways to use them! You’ll love the technique that I used to make these two layouts as it can be used with many different border punches, frame punches and border maker cartridges!

For my first layout, I used the Original Border Maker System with the Brocade Chain Border Maker Cartridge to create my pretty punched borders. I used papers and stickers from the new Sweet on You Collection. 

For my second layout, I used the Damask Flourish Frame Punch and papers and stickers from the Painted Garden Collection. 

I LOVE how many different punches and cartridges can be used with this technique to create totally different looks!

To create the border pieces for both of the layouts, cut squares to 3″ x 3″, fold the squares into triangles, and then punch the triangles. You can use the punched pieces to create single borders or double borders as I did. Or you can add the pieces around all four sides of a page for yet a different look.

To view a step-by-step demonstration, please click here to see my YouTube video. Thank you also for subscribing to my YouTube channel.
