UKS Blog Hop - For The Love of Layering

Welcome to our tutorial in the UK Scrappers Blog hop!

If you are participating in the blog hop, you may have come here from That's Crafty. Make sure you check out UKS here to see the full list of blog links and info on the prizes! To qualify for the prize draw on UKS simply comment on each of the blogs taking part.

As a little extra from us everyone who comments on this blog post on Tuesday 3rd July will be put into a draw to win 1 of 2 prizes - One winner will receive a £5 voucher to spend in the shop and the second will receive their choice of an Echo Park Collection Pack!

For our Project we will be showing you step by step how to make this layered up layout!!



Items I have used:

3x approx 2"x 3" Photos
Dear Lizzy Letter Stickers
Dear Lizzy Ephemera Flowers
Dear Lizzy Fair Ribbons
Dear Lizzy Accent & Phrase Stickers
Washi Tape
American Crafts Elements Pearl Brads
Prima Poppies & Peonies
Kraft Tag, buttons & Ribbon.

1. Choose your background paper - I went with Kraft.
2. Cut 2 patterned papers into rectangles and distress/tear the edges. Mine measured approx 9"x5" and 10"x6".


3. Cut another 3 patterned papers to go behind your photos. Mine measured approx 6"x41/2", 71/2" x4" and 5"x5".
DO NOT STICK YOUR PAPERS DOWN YET!!



4. Take your papers off the background and dry brush some Gesso or paint onto the page.

5. Add a few stickers and strips of washi tape to places that will stick out from the edges of the paper.


6. Start sticking your papers to the page. Don't stick them right to the edge so that you can still tuck things behind.



7. Add some more stickers, your photos and tuck a tag behind the papers.




8. Add your title next to the photos and some journaling in the bottom right hand corner.
9. Add some strips of paper and washi tape to the bottom left corner and add a date sticker.
10. Finish off by adding more embellishments, ribbons, flowers, brads etc.




I really hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and have fun making a layered up layout!

Don't forget to check out all the other blogs in the hop by visiting UK Scrappers here.

Have fun and happy crafting!

Hugs and Periwinkles,
Maxine
