Silver and gold themed scrapbook layout with three photo placeholders, embellishments and a decorative border.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Cut the gold large dotted circles tonal paper to measure 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″.

Step2: Cut a circle using the outside edge of the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern with the Blue Blade from the black cascading accent paper.

Step 3: Using the Damask Flourish Frame Punch, punch two borders from Black Shimmer Solid Cardstock. Cut the border at 1-1/2″ width. Cut a slit in between designs and bend to form a circular shape. Adhere to the backside of the jumbo circle piece.
Add the circle piece to the gold large dotted circles paper and trim along the edge. Adhere to a piece of black triangle lines tonal paper.

Step 4: Use the Brocade Chain Border Maker Cartridge to punch a border from Black Shimmer Solid and Platinum Shimmer Solid Cardstocks. Adhere the platinum shimmer border slightly offset from the black shimmer border. Add border stickers to the bottom of the page. Add the brocade border with Foam Squares.

Step 5:

Cut two 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ mats and one 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ mat from the kraft dashes accent paper.
Cut two 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ mats and one 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ mat from Black Shimmer Solid Cardstock and add to the kraft mats. Add the “Family fun” mat to the larger mat.

Step 6: Cut two 1/2″ journal strips from the neutral large dotted scallops accent paper and add to the page.

Step 7: Adhere mats and embellishments, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
