Locker Room: Layout with Triangles

Hello there!!! Caroli here and today again I’m playing at the Locker Room 🙂 This time I want to share with you a step by step tutorial for making a simple layout using our January kit, Tailor Made.

So, let’s start! First thing I made was placing my pic in the rigth side of the paper, as base I used this grid patterned paper from Amy Tangerine’s Stitched.

 

As I said, the main element in this layout will be triangles, so I’ll use chipboard ones from Creative Embellishments included on the kit as pattern for cutting some paper triangles, and also I will adhere paper to them to make them more versatile.

 

After cutting triangles of several sizes and patterns this is how I placed them on my layout:

 

In order to give volumen and make the layout more interesting, I used foam dots behind some triangles, placed some a bit behind the pic and some other over the pic.  I do love how chipboard ones look in combination with paper 🙂

 

Now it’s time to place my title, and of course I’ll use the gorgeous Thickers included on the kit, I simply adore them ❤  I also used grey alpha from my stash to complete the phrase.

 

At this point this is how my layout looks like, it’s almost finished:

 

I just need to add some more embellishments, journaling and some splatters of mist and it will be done.

 

And this is the final result, such a simple yet interesting layout with lots of tiny details that make it special 🙂

 

Hope you liked the idea of this layout and give it a try, let me know if you do it so 😉 Have a great weekend!

Soften Up That Chipboard!

 

Happy Craft & Hobby Mega Show weekend everyone!  Jody is here on the blog today while Gia, Lacey and Erica and super busy ‘working’ at CHA!! I have to say it sure doesn’t feel like ‘work’ when we totally love what we are doing!!  This has been an amazing year for us for sure!

I am completely in love with our January Kit Tailor Made.  What’s not to love, right?!  Amy Tangerine, Chic Tags, May Arts Ribbon, plus our January Challenge Sponsor Creative Embellishments!!  Here’s my latest layout created with Tailor Made.

Here are some close ups for you!  As you can see, the triangles are white in my layout.  They came a plain brown color but I really wanted them to have a softer look.  I decided to heat emboss them with Ranger White Embossing Power to achieve this look.  It’s very easy to do! All you need to do is to press the chipboard pieces into your Versamark ink pad to get them nice and sticky.  Then, just shake some embossing power of your choice over the pieces and heat set them!

 

In the photo below you get a much closer look at the little finishing touches I added along the right side of my photo.  I fussy cut a bunch of the little hearts from the super sweet Amy Tangerine paper with all the little watercolor hearts inside the Polaroids.  I also added some teal ink to a few fabulous little Heidi Swapp resist die cuts.  I still wanted to add a little soft sparkle on this layout so I added some 10 mm Moonshine sequins and silver triangle sequins which are not in the kit.  The little photo negative acetate piece is from Tim Holtz (from my stash.)
