The warehouse is noisy this morning with the sound of boxes being prepared and shipped! I spent the weekend uploading and ordering prints of my summer photos. I can't wait to finish these pages! Let's take a closer look.
Lakes Deluxe Kit
LAYOUTS 1 & 2
I love the self adhesive enamel dots included as a goodie in this collection. The sheet includes three perfectly-coordinated colors and three sizes of dots.
LAYOUTS 3 & 4
The miniature swivels make an adorable embellishment. Here, I've stamped the little fish (UM Greeting) three times onto white paper, cut them out, and attached to the page beneath the swivel.
When punching out the circular embellishments, save the "parent sheet" and use it as a border on the right side of the page.
LAYOUTS 5 & 6
The 12x12 base of the right side of the layout begins as a plain paper; add the anchors to the right edge of the page with the masking stencil and Ocean ink . . . a perfect match. I love the little silver fish charm, too!
LAYOUTS 7 & 8
More little enamel dots at work!
LAYOUTS 9 & 10
The anchor stencil makes a splash in the foreground on the right side of the layout. Use a craft knife to cut around the stenciled image to make room for the photo matte to slide beneath.
LAYOUTS 11 & 12
Use a ruler to ensure even spacing when adhering the enamel dots to the Dark Teal cutaparts.
LAYOUTS 13 & 14
White pigment ink works beautifully on the Dark Teal paper. Be sure to allow it to dry completely. I typically zap it with my heat tool for a few seconds to prevent smearing.
The 12x12 Dark Teal Print and cutapart look fantastic when accented with the striped grosgrain ribbon.
Lakes Greetings to Go
SET A
The triangular sequins are evenly spaced onto the Light Teal cutapart with the help of a grid ruler.
SET B
I just happened to have some teal glitter glue on hand.
SET C
I'm not sure what made me think of it, but suddenly I was in the warehouse digging through the recycling bin to find a piece of cardboard for this card. I love how it turned out!
Whether you use our cards and layouts as a launching point for your own ideas or simply follow along, we hope you have a great time with your new Lakes collection! Go fish!
