Hello die cutting friends!
I'm really excied to share with you a new scrapbook page today showcasing Kerri Bradford Studio Die Cuts! In fact, this page is one of my favorites of all time. The simplicity, the monochromatic tone-on-tone white, the tiny, tiny embellies that I love so much and the fact that it goes in our family's Christmas Cards Album (the cards we send out every year) all make this a new favorite!
Almost everything on this page was created with die cuts! Eleven designs in all from 9 different kits. How awesome is that?!!!
Here's a breakdown of the KBS kits I used (links for each kit are below the project photos):
- Merry & Bright (title)
- Snowflake, Etc. (snowflake)
- Christmas Countdown (snowflake)
- December Additions The Extras (tag, snowflake)
- Here Comes Santa Claus (snowflake)
- Holly Jolly Christmas (snowflake)
- This & That Christmas Past (snowflake)
- This & That Winter (two snowflakes)
- Background Basics
To make my title really pop I die cut it 5x from the beige cardstock and layered them one right on top of another for a dimensional, almost chipboard looking title.
I am currently having a love affair with the look of white on white in my paper crafting and when I set out to scrapbook this photo card from almost nine years ago and had trouble finding the right color "fit" it suddenly dawned on me how elegant a white page might be to really make the photo take center stage. I couldn't keep just a plain white cardstock background, though, so I die cut one of Kerri's Background Basics designs at 12" square I and layered the die cut cardstock on top of the same color of background cardstock for a subtle background tone-on-tone texture.
Then I die cut a bunch of tags from white and the hole reinforcements from a light beige and set to adding snowflakes die cut from patterned papers to each tag. Embellishments in silver and gold complete the snowflakes.
