Love a vintage look? Looking for a way to achieve a look of romance and softness using die-cuts? Designer Anna Griffin demonstrates Victorian-styled die-cuts that will soften the look of any page. Materials: Victorian-style punch-out die-cuts Small Victorian reproduction postcards 12" x 12" cardstock or paper Repositionable tape Pencil Ruler Ribbon Photographs Small journaling cards and pen - First, punch die-cuts from sleeves (figure A).
- Then, draw "x" on board by using ruler and pencil to draw straight diagonal lines from corner to corner (figure B).
- Make a small mark at page edge in the center of each large triangle created by drawing the diagonal lines.
- Then, use ruler and pencil to draw straight lines to connect the small marks (figure C) and create smaller triangles.(The finished effect should resemble lattice work.)
- Use repositionable tape to follow the pencil lines. (Using the repositionable tape will allow the photographs, ribbon and die-cuts to be repositioned as desired.)
- Position ribbon on tape lines (figure D) and repeat until all lattice-work is complete and all marks have been covered.
- Then, flip board over and secure ends of ribbon to back surface using repositionable tape (figure E).
- Check photo placement before sliding underneath the ribbons.
- Position photos, journaling cards, Victorian reproduction postcards and die-cuts under the ribbons (figure F).
- Press ribbons into place to secure and add a background page in a complementary color.
Tip: Use negative space left from punched die-cuts as journaling templates. Die-cuts/templates provided by Ellison Craft & Design. For more information about Ellison, see Resources. Click here for DIY's Scrapbooking Glossary.
