Using your circle punch make random half circle punches around the calico patterned paper (or the paper you are going to use under your photo mat)
After your half circles are punched you will want to fill in those open areas with a subtle stamping pattern.
The idea is to use your stamps to create interest on the base paper of the layout - and these patterns will “peek out” through the punched areas. You might want to position your paper over the base paper and then lift it up slightly to randomly stamp in the open areas.
When you are done stamping you can adhere the punched paper down to the base paper about 1” from bottom of base paper.
You can go ahead and adhere the photo mat paper now about 2” from the bottom of the newsprint paper. I ended up doing this later but anytime you want to add this photo mat you can.
Such a neat idea! I'm going to have to give this a try.

Step 5: Add Dimension & Details
Using foam dots be sure to pop up the die cut stars and add buttons to the center of each star.
Another really cool part of this collection is the Chat Clouds that include lots of "chat bubbles", tags and die cut stars and flowers. There are a lot of pieces in that pack so they are sprinkled throughout this layout as shown.
Another thing I did to replicate the look of stiching that Vicki had on her original layout was to use my Sew Easy Stamper from We R Memory Keepers to add stitch marks along the top of a strip of paper.
Then use a paper piercer to punch holes on the end of one of the paper strips and add denim brads as shown.
So right now...we are here:
WHEW...I feel like I am speed scrapping

[highlight=#ff8080]One of my very favorite things about this new paper collection is the shipping tags and the design elements we pre-printed onto them.[/highlight] Tags are so easy to add to projects and I love how Vicki originally tucked them in and layered them at the top. So right now we are going to start layering all the pieces on the top portion of this page. Be sure to only add adhesive in the center of the tags so we can “tuck” in the border stickers underneath.
I actually applied my border sticker first but I had to "eyeball it" which was a little tricky.
Adhere down the shipping tags and then position the zig zag border stickers across the top edges of the Calico newsprint paper. There aren’t really measurements for these steps; you will place the tags on the sheet - then add the border stickers and then layer all of the 3 paper strips one on top of another.
You can see I also went ahead and glued down my yellow photo mat paper as a guide.
I didn't realize these tags had preprinting on them. I thought you had stamped them! I think I just found another item to add to 'my favorite things'!

This layout and tutorial is wonderful. The colors (blue and yellow) are two of my favorite combinations. Guess what is going in my wishlist today.

I just love this layout and new ideas!

I'm in the same boat I thought those tags were stamped too... may have to consider a splurge!

So much dimension on this layout!

It looks like real stitching! I wouldn't have guessed!

They come like that I promise. YOu get 6 pre printed tags and they are amazing!

The tags are cute, I too thought they were stamped.

Hey lady! April was insane for me but I am finally able to breathe a little now. We,re just trying to get ready for this little girl, get our house ready to sell, and keep up with life. You know... not much.

Step 6: Titles Are Everything!
Okay...if you haven’t tried our Wood Shop Alphabets yet - you are truly missing out. You can add just about any type of color medium to these letters and you will love the results. You can stamp them, ink them, mist them and they can take it!!
We decided to add distressing ink to our letters and we layered 2 different colors on our letters to get the color we wanted.
Remember I said I loved this blending tool and foam pad...works on our wood alphabets too
So....choose your title and then add color to match your project. We recommend a liquid adhesive to add these to your page but foam dots work well too. As you can see in this photo I like to layer my letters over one another to get that extra dimension.
I also went ahead and added my 5 x 7 photo centered over my photo mat! We are almost done!

This is sooo cool. Haven't tried those letters but see that they are a must have!

My thing is chunky layouts and these wooden letters fit that perfectly. I love that you can color them to match the layout. SO much easier than trying to find chipboard letters that match and then have all the extras left over (without the letters that you need to use later!) Thanks for introducing me to so many great new products! LOVIN' IT!!!
