Hugs and Kisses Valentine’s Day Layout

1 Comment

Hello there!  It’s Mendi here today with a fun Valentine’s Day layout about my sweet grandparents.  They have been married for just a few years shy of 70 years so when I came across this photo of them I knew they would fit this week’s Hugs and Kisses theme perfectly (even if it was taken at Christmas time).

I thought it would be fun to layer the roses and flowers in this  collection in a little grouping on the aqua tag.  Even though the tag didn’t quite match my theme, I loved the color of it and how it contrasted with my flowers so I was able to strategically hide the picture printed on it.

Just in case the background paper wasn’t enough to reinforce my theme, I die-cut my hugs and kisses title using cut files found HERE and HERE.  I cut my words with white vinyl which is perfect for thin, delicate titles that might otherwise shred ordinary cardstock.

To give my flowers extra depth I popped up some with foam tape and cut some extra flowers from the matching patterned paper to layer in the centers.

For the perfect finishing touch to my layout I created a ribbon border using We R Memory Keeper’s Sew Ribbon tool.  I love how it adds a Wow factor to my layout!

To create a border just like mine, you will need 3 to 4 feet of ribbon (I used almost an entire AC spool with my bow which comes with 4 feet)  and the Sew Ribbon tool of your choice.

I have put together a picture tutorial to share with you how I made mine and lined things up across my page.  🙂

And here’s another look at the finished result.  I love how it has the feeling of a fancy wedding dress which is perfect for a layout all about love!

    Hi, thanks for the tutorial on this cool tool. I’ve seen the braiding before but had no idea how it was done. This tool makes it easy. Sylvia
