Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team Project and step-by-step tutorial. I wanted to create a fun 12x12 scrapbook page for a picture of my sweet grandson's 4th birthday, so ... I went searching for the perfect cutting file. Lori always has such great products!
I chose her Number Lace Cutting File (links below). Not only did it have a number 4 on it, but I also loved the positive and negative spaces it created in the background.
Here's how I made this layout ...
1. I added the cutting file to my mat and resized it to 10.75 x 10.75”. I cut it out of white card stock and set that aside.
2. Next, I used the knife tool to chop down the background into smaller pieces so that I could focus in on the number 4. I didn’t want to cut the entire background piece again just to get the 4.
3. Once I isolated the 4 in the file, I deleted everything else and cut this section out of orange paper.
4. Then I used my scissors to trim the rest of the paper from around the number.
5. Now that I had the white background and the orange number cut out, it was time to create my layout!
I used the Echo Park, Vroom Collection that was also designed by Lori (links below). I decorated my Race Car Mini Album with it and the colors and patterns were just what I was looking for.
I started with the orange 12x12 pattern called Ready Set Go Stripes as my base and layered the blue Winner Winner print and Ready Racers paper on top. Then, I added the white number lace sheet and I backed each corner with a yellow triangle cut from a solid in the Vroom Collection.
Next, I adhered the orange 4 on top of the white 4 that's part of the background. I cut some photo mats out of a few other papers from the Vroom Collection and I added my photo.
Then, I finished the layout with lots of fun embellishments. The "Let's Go" is from the Vroom 12x12 sticker sheet. And the other birthday themed stickers and die cuts are from the Bella Blvd, Birthday Bash Collection.
