i don't know if people know this, but when you cut on that plexiglass mat, you totally ruin your blade. you should always use a dedicated cutting mat. by that i mean the soft white or thin green or gray mats.
@saintben2008 Cutting on a glass mat instead of a self-healing mat dulls the edge of the blade slightly faster. It also provides a much cleaner cut and exact when cutting with paper while requiring less effort. Since I only use cheap disposable blades when crafting, it is worth it to me to change them a less more for the accuracy and ease of use a glass mat provides.
in the very begging, how did u make the paper. and by that i mean how did u get those tiny dots on there and what kind of glitter, powder, or what ever that stuff was did u use?
@sponge1abc The polka dots are an acrylic stamp from Hot Off the Press. I stamped them in Versamark Watermark Ink & then sprinkled them with white embossing powder and heat set it. Thanks for watching!
The adhesive applicator I use is the 3M Scotch ATG 700 and I got it online from a store called "Framing Supplies". YouTube doesn't allow links in the comment area, but if you google "framing supplies" it should come right up. The adhesive I use in it is the Scotch 908 Gold {acid free} and I buy it in the 1/2" width and 60 yard length.
love how you placed the lettering. i never thought of folding my glue dots! i always cut them in half to make them smaller and end up making a mess! good tip.
i luv the way u did your title......... i would like to do something similar... so i was wondering, do u have any ideas on how to do a title like that using a 6-letter word?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I didn't really have a plan for this title ~ I just pushed the letters around and turned them around until they looked right. Maybe if you did one letter on the first line, two letters on the second line and three letters on the third line, that would work? So sorry I missed this comment before!
Thanks for leaving me a comment ~ I'm glad you got some good inspiration from it! Please feel free to use these techniques in your personal scrapping!
OH MY! Would never have thought to emboss a whole sheet of paper. it looks great. I have a shape cutter and have never used it, you have inspired me! I just subscribed tonight and am so excited to see all your videos...thank you!
You're so welcome ~ thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm so happy to hear that I've inspired you to use something that you already have! I hope you enjoy the videos!
Wow, I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! Great LO, I love all of the extra steps you took for the background. I will definitely scraplift that.
Wouldn't that be awesome!? The reality is that it took me three separate scrapping sessions over two days to finish this layout. (Did you notice my wardrobe changes?) Thanks for watching -- I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much! I usually choose one color to be a strong presence and the other colors flow from that. For this layout, I knew I wanted bright pink to be part of the layout and so I chose some paper scraps that included bright pink. One of those scraps also included orange and blue, so that's how I chose the orange flower and blue ribbon. I don't usually work with sketches, although I have used them from time to time. Usually I just push things around the page until they look right to me.

Yes, there is a stamp in the Papertrey Ink "Polka Dot Basics" set that is very similar, and which would give you the same look!
