Helpful Hints

To re-create the layouts as shown here, follow the helpful hints as outlined. For more detailed information on how to assemble the featured layouts, refer to our how-to book Cherish. Your Close To My Heart Consultant can offer more information on the featured scrapbooking techniques.

  • Print out the cutting guide PDF and use it in conjunction with the how-to book.
  • Cover the Dimensional Elements for the Creative Rhythm layout as follows: one medium flower with accent piece 1; one large flower with accent piece 2; two flourishes with accent piece 3.
  • Cover the Dimensional Elements for the Designer’s Eye layout as follows: one circle and one medium flower with accent piece 1; one large flower with accent piece 2.
  • Using the dry embossing stylus, create a frame around some of the photos, as desired.
  • Using the sponging technique, apply Cocoa ink to the papers, My Stickease® images, Dimensional Elements, and photos, as desired.
  • To create the scallop behind photo 2 on the right page of the Designer’s Eye layout, cut the large Dimensional Elements flower (covered with the script patterned paper) into equal sections, trimming two petals at a time. Attach each section in a row behind the photo, placing them along the right edge.
  • To create the center of the My Stickease medium flowers, cluster three brads.
  • Attach the brads, bookplates, and Dimensional Elements, as desired.
