Thoroughly Modern Scrapbook Page

Here is one of the two 2-page layouts my Scrapbook Club did last night.  It’s made with the Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper, some 5/16" Neutrals brads, jumbo eyelets, jumbo grommets, Sahara Sand cardstock, Rose Red cardstock, and Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Let them ‘Eat Cake’

This is one design of the five we made at our Oldies but Goodies stamp a stack.  Not only is this super versatile birthday set retiring but the card features many retiring accessories as well (sniff, sniff).  These include Wild Wasabi CS as the card base, East Coast Prep designer series paper, and the Wild Wasabi striped grosgrain ribbon.

By the way, the Oldies but Goodies class was a blast!  We (well, some of us) enjoyed RootBeer floats and my homemade chocolate chip cookies.  Everyone made 10 cards, 2 each of 5 designs.

What I love about this card is creating the scalloped look without having an oval scallop punch!  The look is easy to create.  I used the coluzzle to achieve the oval layers and the 3/4" circle punch to create the scallop.  In this card we simply punched out twelve 3/4" circles and glued them behind the oval layer, one at a time, always checking from the front to make sure the ‘scallop appearance’ is even.  Then I mimicked the scallop with one single circle and the ‘eat cake’ sentiment on it, popped up on a dimensional.  Fun!  Anyone, from age 1 – 100 would love receiving this handmade card!
