Circle and Square inspired Layout!

Leave a Comment

Hey Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne here today to share a step by step layout using both circles and squares as my background inspiration. Adding a little hand stitching not only emphasises the beautiful patterned paper circles, but creates squares from the negative space in-between!

Create a fun textural background for your next layout with @PebblesInc patterned papers by hand stitching circles just like @leanne_allinson.

To create this layout, you will need some very basic tools: trimmer, adhesive, embroidery floss, clear plastic ruler and something to create circles. A circle punch is ideal but if you don’t have one (and any size will do!) try a metal die.

Step 1.

On my 8.5×11 size layout, I have placed nine (9) 1.5″ circles and aligned them, top and side with a clear plastic ruler.

I pre-pierced holes across each circle and then added my hand stitching. It is from the completed hand stitched lines where the squares are formed in the negative space between the circles.

Step 3.

After creating my hand stitched lines, I wanted to add a bit more emphasis with squares. Using a 4×4 photo, I mounted it onto patterned paper and then adhered it directly to the page, filling the gap where the circles are missing.

Step 4.

Using die cut ephemera, add extra layers to overlap both the patterned papers and the photo.

Step 5.

A strip of patterned paper at the top and bottom of the layout grounds the patterned papers to the page and creates a visible connection to a journaling box. Complete your layout by adding a title below the photo and a splash of paint for extra dimension.

As a side note, a neutral coloured embroidery floss will keep the layout feeling uncluttered, even though there are several different patterned papers used on this page. I hope my page will inspire you to look for the subtle patterns that can be found in negative spaces and use them to your creative advantage. Thanks for visiting today.

Fall Colours + Memories = Card Inspiration!

Hey there Pebbles Friends! It is Leanne here today sharing some cards inspired by the glorious Fall colours in the new Woodland Forest collection! Even though the weather is warming up in preparation for Spring and Summer here in Australia, when I think of Autumn, clear images come to mind. I love the fresh crispness in the air, the calming orange sunsets and cool evening, outdoor parties with friends. With those images in mind, I have created three cards inspired simply by these memories.

The first card is clean and simple. I have focused on the crisp white with gold foil accents of the patterned paper and added gold foil alpha stickers.

After fussy cutting the leaves and placing them in a wreath like circle on the base cardstock, I have layered a wood grain sentiment directly over the top.

The second and third cards have been created with the help of the new We R Memories Frame Punch Board.

The “Just for You” card was inspired by my love of sunsets in Autumn. What I love most is, there always seems to be a halo of lazy orange colours at sunset. The orange cardstock frame bordering the card helps to represent this idea.

The large floral sticker, layered over an olive green banner, is indicative of the sun going down over the horizon.

The final card has been created in reminiscence of outdoor family gathering in the evening. I love the string of party lights against a background of tunnelled frames.

This birthday card has also been teamed with gold foil thickers and a touch of wood grain against orange hues.
