2019 | Amy Kattenbelt | Paper Folding

Hello UK Scrap Addicts, Amy here with my layout that uses paper folding. I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the ways the creative team have used the technique of paper folding into their layouts this month.

I really fancied creating a rainbow layout, one of my all time favourite things to do! I cut this 'Fold and Tuck Star' by Alaa K on my silhouette in white cardstock. Once it is cut you fold each 'V' cut of the star over and tuck it under the one next to it.

I used watercolour paints to create this circular rainbow background. I decided as there were 10 points on the star I would create a 'best of 2019' style layout. I picked 10 photos from last year that represented some of our family's highlights, and printed little 1" square photos.

With the star cut and folded, the photos printed and and the background painted, the layout came together really quickly. I added some thickers for the year in the middle of the circle and printed some journaling for each photo which i then cut into stripes and stuck down.

I hope you enjoy this different approach to paper folding. I think it will be pretty eye catching as the title page in my 2019 album.

Do pop over to the UK Scrap Addicts facebook group and share your layouts, we love seeing them! We will back with you in just a few days time to share with your our new theme for February.

Awesome Brothers | Amy Kattenbelt | Sketch

Hello Scrap Addicts. Amy here today to share my layout that I created using the fabulous sketch designed exclusively for us by the lovely Laura Rumble.

I thought this star paper from the Boys Rule collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio would be perfect for a starting point of my layout. I cut it into a crescent moon shape that would cradle my photo and journalling. To contrast with the star paper I used a dark, wood grain, paper from the same collection as my background and added a little white paint splatter to it. I went to town distressing the edges and then stuck it to a blue patterned paper, ripping and stapling it in places for extra details. I added a chipboard title and then finished the layout with lots of matching star shaped ephemera and chipboard pieces.

Thanks for reading. I will be back next month to share another layout with you. In the mean time we would love for you to hop over to our Facebook Group UK Scrap Addicts where you can view the sketch and also share your layouts with us!
