Besties Double-Page Scrapbook Layout
Good morning, Cherries! Today I'm sharing a double-page layout I created using the ARToptions Rouge collection. 49 and Market came out with some new products with this release which includes the Ultimate Page Kit and a Cluster Kit. I've now tried out both and think they are great additions to all of the regular scrapbook products. These products are made for layering and these kits teach you a new way to do it!
You can see the similarities and differences between my layout (the one with photos) and the page kit inspiration. I wanted to use larger photos and in different orentations than what the kit showed so I knew I wouldn't end up with my page looking exactly the same. This kit came with plenty of additional products so I could improvise.
My cousins and I took a goofy photoshoot and I've been waiting for the right collection to scrap it. I like that Rouge can lean more toward an everyday page as well as having some hearts and love elements as well. I gravetated more to using the greens of the collection then the pinks and reds.
With my other page, I knew I wouldn't be able to follow the inspiration page exactly because again I had larger photos I wanted to use. I was able to find other frames in the lazer cuts for my photos. I wanted to do a lot of layering behind my photos and began by clustering the embellishments starting with larger pieces.
Because my photos and clusters were larger than inspiration, it covered up a bit of the mixed media look that these pages had printed on them. To fix this I grabbed the Rouge Rub-on Transfer Set to add some splatters coming out from behind the photos.
All of my layers behind my photos got distressed with Distress Ink using a Mini Ink Blending Tool around the edges. I then went around the edges with a Sizzix distress tool to roughen them up a little bit.
I popped the photos up on foam tape so they would stand out from the cluster behind them. Some of the other embellishments around the page also got popped up.
I had a lot of fun creating these pages! You can watch them come together in the video below!

Using Metal Dies On Scrapbook Layouts 2 comments
Hello Everyone! Sara with you today.
I love to use metal dies on my layouts, but I find it a bit hard sometimes to know what to shop for and how best to use them on scrapbook layouts.
Metal dies are an investment, so it is important for us to use our spending budget wisely and purchase dies that we will use over and over again to create beautiful scrapbook pages and showcase our photos.
Over the years I have developed a couple of shopping tips for myself when considering a die purchase for scrapbooking and I thought I would share them with you.
1. Keep It Simple. The best metal dies for scrapbooking are simple shapes. When scrapbooking, we like layers and clusters. Simple shapes mean we can cut those dies from any pattern paper we like and then cluster and layer embellishments on top.
On my layout I cut these pretty hexagon dies in three colors and then used them to create a beautiful border across the top of my page.
2. Be Cautious About Words. Remember that in order for your metal die to be worth the investment, you will need to cut it over and over again. So while I say go all in for alphabet sets, be cautious with words.
3. Icons. Get all the icons you can that you use the most-- for me that's hearts, stars, flowers, and hexagons... for you that could be something else. If you find yourself saying "I wish this die cut pack had more...." those are the icon dies you need.
Okay, back to my layout...lol.
I created this border to pair with a winter photo and added the hexagons to the top to mimic snow falling. They can also be used as a trellis with flowers for spring, or a garden wall across the bottom for summer...even beachy cut with blues and aqua paper and layered with shells.
I love the extra texture I added to the dies with stickers and adhesive brads. Giving my hexagons some added detail makes the page more cohesive and allows it to flow.
I have a video on my YouTube channel showing my whole process and I would love for you to come over and say hello!
Have A Lovely Day!
Sara
