Designer Alison Bergquist uses super-size die-cuts to add impact to scrapbook pages. Idea: A "puzzle" template -- normally used to highlight multiple photographs -- can also be used to create a large journaling card (figure A). Simply trace inside the template, ignoring the dividing lines inside. Soccer Ball Die-cut Berlquist also uses oversize die-cuts as page elements that create a powerful background, yet emphasize the overall page theme. Materials: Black cardstock or paper, cut in circular shape
Soccer templates
White paper
Pen
Acid-free adhesive
Craft knife
- To create a soccer-themed page, first cut a large black circle.
- Then, use soccer pattern template to trace and cut white shapes.
- Arrange and adhere the white shapes to the soccer ball (figure B), leaving space between shapes so that black cardstock shows. Leave blank space for the journaling square.
- Create journaling on computer and print onto white paper. Place soccer template over journaling, then trace and cut shape.
- Place journaling card in blank space on "soccer ball" (figure C).
- Adhere soccer ball to corner of page, allow half the ball to extend over page edge.
- Turn page over and use craft knife to trim die-cut, using edge of page as guide (figure D).
