Thank you for joining us on Day 5 of our Birthday Celebration! Today design team member Lisa Dickinson joins us to share a inspiring birthday page with her usual design perfection! We also have another amazing prize package to share from our friends at Carta Bella and Paper Smooches Stamps! Let's get today's party started...
"Happy Birthday SCT! Birthdays are festive and bright celebrations, and the layouts featuring them should be just as colorful! For me, that means using lots of patterned paper in a bright and happy palette. This layout featuring my daughter's seventh birthday, is one such page:
The harlequin pattern was perfect for displaying a large variety of patterns, because each piece is small but impactful. . I cut the various diamonds on my Silhouette and then used baker's twine to create linear borders for the design. Martha Stewart Gel Adhesive is the perfect for glue for this type of application because the fine tip lays down a very thin line of glue and it dries really quick!
On several of the diamonds, I added color-coordinated embellishments like die cuts, stickers, chipboard and transparencies, cutting them to fit within the shape. The accents add a bit of texture and dimension to the design.
The title is electronically cut using the free font Sofia. I added a tiny chipboard tag with letter stickers in front of it, and a few strips of journaling below. The result is a page that is as vibrant and joyful as the celebration itself!" ~ Lisa Dickinson
