Hello scrappy friends! It’s Heather Rubert back on the blog and I’m in December Daily mode! I’m so excited to share something a little different on the blog today - two decorative foundation pages using Sugarplum Wishes and two of Paige’s cut files: Sweater and Snowflakes Background.
True confession: this is my first year making a December Daily! I figured it’s about time I jumped on the bandwagon so I’m making a 6x8 album to document this year’s memories. Since I don’t have any festive photos for this year yet, I’ve been working on decorative pages for now. I made these to go next to each other in the album, since sweaters and snow go hand in hand! I want my pages to include a variety of sizes and shapes and Paige’s Sweater cut file is just perfect for a fun page. I wanted my sweater to be double-sided, so I took some white cardstock and used my Cricut to cut two sweaters that are mirror images of each other. They measure about 6” wide. On one side of the sweater, I backed the sections with Paper 4, Paper 6, and the poinsettia print from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I added a snowflake from the Floral & Snowflake Die Cuts to decorate the front of the sweater. On the mirrored sweater I used Paper 2, Paper 10, and Paper 11 for backing pieces and I decorated with a “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Cardstock Stickers. I wish I had real sweaters that look like these ones! The next foundation page uses vellum as a base. I cut a bunch of snowflakes using the Snowflakes Background cut file which I resized to just over 8”. If you don’t want to arrange the snowflakes randomly, you could use the negative paper as a guide for placing your snowflakes on the vellum. After gluing all the snowflakes down with liquid adhesive, I added a title using Thickers. A little white pom pom trim and some machine stitching finish up the page! In the final album I plan to place this page over a full-size photo.
I had so much fun using Sugarplum Wishes and two wintery cut files to make these fun, decorative pages! I love the sweater so much I may have to make more shaped pages for my December Daily. Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!
