Embossed Vellum Leaves Scrapbook Layout

One of my favorite parts of autumn is when the leaves start to turn color, and my yard turns into a kaleidoscope of orange, yellow, green, red and brown. I love taking photos of the pretty fall colors and taking hikes in the changing forest. I created the layout below for some of my fall hiking photos using the Autumn Cottage Collection and Autumn Cottage Vellum Papers from Creative Memories.

I used the old Maple Leaf, Simple Leaf, and Five Leaf Punches from Creative Memories to punch leaves of different shades of Autumn Cottage Vellum. I used the Multi-Purpose Tool to add embossed details to the leaves and layered the leaves to create my symphony of fall colors. You can recreate this layout using any leaf punches.

Please see my YouTube video for measurements and a demonstration on creating this layout. Please click here to view my instructions.

You may purchase the Autumn Cottage Collection and more through my Creative Memories website link.


I’ll be sharing some of my own exclusive layouts during my Virtual Croptoberfest Workshop on September 27th and 28th. There will be recorded video instructions, printable handouts and Zoom sessions. I’m also hosting a private FB group for more fun and sharing. If you can’t be live with me on Zoom, please register to get access to the FB group and instructional materials.

Vellum Circles Scrapbook Layout

Lately we’ve been seeing more vellum from Creative Memories. Currently CM offers the Autumn Cottage Vellum Paper Pack, Something Blue Vellum Paper Pack, Serene Waters Vellum Paper Pack and the Cue the Blue Vellum Paper Pack. Each pack contains 5 sheets of different colors and some have designs.

As I’m often asked for ideas on using vellum, I decided to play with the new Autumn Cottage Collection and created the layout below that features the vellum from the collection.

I used the Circle Punch from Creative Memories to punch 1-3/4″ circles from a sheet of the Autumn Cottage Designer Paper and the Autumn Cottage Vellum Paper. I adhered the circles in rows and used the Vellum Tape Runner Refill to adhere the vellum circles. My photo mats are 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. I used the new Garland Banner Border Punch layered with Autumn Cottage Stickers to create some decorative pieces for the layout.

Please view my demonstration video for tips on assembling the layout, using the Vellum Tape Runner Refill and tips for the Garland Banner Border Punch.

All of the tools and materials that I used can be purchased using my Creative Memories website link. With your purchase, you’ll be enrolled in my Customer Rewards Program to receive gifts, freebies and product credits from me.
