Incorporate a Digital File on Your Next Scrapbook Layout | Ginny Hughes
Hi! Ginny here with a quick tutorial on how to incorporate a digital cut file onto your project. I love the digital files that are offered every month, they are totally customizable to whatever you are working on. I chose to use one of the cut files that Paige designed for use with the Galileo kits. I started by cutting it out on regular white cardstock since I knew I was going to use watercolors.
I use an old Silhouette mat whenever I use products that can get a little messy. I use the non-sticky side and it is a breeze to clean up! I know we all have a few of those sticky mats that are no longer sticky, great way to get some more use out of them.
I picked out 2 of the patterned papers from the Saturn and Jupiter add-ons and I then placed the dry die cut on the papers and cut a square of patterned paper that was approximately the same size.
I then placed the squares of patterned paper on the white cardstock background to get an idea of how I wanted to design the layout.
I sewed the die cuts directly on the paper, no glue needed!
I wanted to use the Molly alphabet stamps for the title. If you are stamping directly on your background it can get a little tricky to make sure everything fits. With a pencil I lightly drew a box the same size as my squares of patterned paper, I then laid out the uninked stamps in the space just to make sure they would fit before I started stamping.
I love alpha stamps, but sometimes I like to add a little bit extra color & texture to them. It is super easy to stamp on a piece of patterned paper, then cut out a portion of it to add to your stamped image. I like to add the insides of a's, o's, g's, any type of letter like that will work.
After I had sewn around the title and adhered the patterned paper I realized I had forgotten to add the typing below the title. I typically do that before I add any sewing or embellishing, but it worked out just fine.
I added a few enamel dots, some more stamping, strips of patterned paper to finish the layout. I hope you go take a look at the Digital section of the Studio Calico shop, there are so many possibilities there!
