#cute
Hello #cutie. I loved talking to this little guy on Facetime. He would do cute thing on camera for me and I would take screenshots if I’d remember.
This page goes with the #Facetime layout I made before. I love two page layouts that match and go together, but aren’t a 16×8 cut in half. I used a lot of the same elements to make them match but not be the same… the neutral background and kraft paper elements, the stripe of red down the middle with crepe paper sewn overtop, the black lettering. And some of the same embellishments- tags with green floss, chipboard paw cutouts, and green and gold sequins. I kept this one more neutral to balance out the crazier colors of the other page.
I kept the Hello. card from my iPhone box. I asked Dylan for his as well, and he asked what for? I said, “for scrapbooking!”, and he said, “Why do I even ask?” I though it fit perfectly on this page. I recycled an old scribbled circles cut that I made and then messed up by putting glue on the wrong side (you can’t tell here though because it’s hidden behind layering). See? Keep everything!!
I printed out a bunch of hashtags and transferred them over with tape to a rolodex card cut in half, as well as to the red arrow. Two of them I just cut from the printed paper in a little banner shape and stuck on a label shape (I actually had that left over from a page I did a long time ago, I had printed a bunch of frames and kept the insides to use on various other projects).
This page was actually pretty quick and easy to put together, especially because I was recycling a lot of scraps (happy Earth day/week/month!), and I had another page to use as inspiration.
Since there’s no cut files for this page, I will share my tape technique, my new favorite way to transfer words and make a washi tape style look that is very customizable. And it’s a great way to get words on tiny little cards if you don’t have a typewriter. For this you will need “Magic” tape (ie the clear matte stuff, not the shiny kind) and an inkjet printer (laser doesn’t work), as well as a bone folder (or similar, or your nails work too).
I will post a more in depth article about this technique in a later post!
Enjoy :)
