The final project in this series is my Heirloom Arrangements Kit scrapbook page, another way to preserve memories from the recent Stampin’ Up! event. This page features the team group I travelled with, though two people are missing from the photo—I’ll have to photoshop them in!
Scrapbook Page with Card Bases
Inspired by the same Stampin’ Up! post as last week, I used card bases from the kit to create layered elements. These bases enhance the vintage feel and provide a solid foundation for additional embellishments.
Heirloom Arrangements Scrapbook Page Design Details
I started by blending Crumb Cake and Pretty in Pink ink onto the page. Then, I used the grid stamp with Crumb Cake ink, stamping off first to create a subtle background effect.
Using the card base as a guide, I carefully inked and stamped only in areas that wouldn’t be covered later. By grouping the remaining kit pieces by color and style, I arranged three decorative clusters. At the top, I placed brown-toned tags and a butterfly. On the left, I combined pinks and greens with a black-and-white bordered element. The last cluster features a vellum piece, a coordinating oval label, and a delicate floral accent.
Shadow Without Dimensionals
While dimensionals add depth to cardmaking, they aren’t always ideal for scrapbooking, where flatter designs are preferred. Instead, I used glue dots to create subtle dimension. A single glue dot lifts elements by about half a millimeter, providing just enough shadowing. Doubling up glue dots under the large butterfly wings worked perfectly to add a bit of lift.
Heirloom Arrangements Kit
This project used up the last of the pre-printed die cuts from the kit. All that remains are a few card base scraps and one envelope. I’m amazed at how many unique projects I’ve created with this kit!
I plan to buy another kit and take it on my next caravan trip. The vintage-style images are perfect for the layered cardmaking I love. Then I’ll have pieces for a second Heirloom Arrangements Kit scrapbook page, so watch this space.
