Heidi Swapp Vintage Instax cards

Sometimes I like to think a little outside the box! When Heidi set me the task this week to use the Instax Vintage collection.  I wanted to try something a little different. I decided to use some of my Vintage Instax Filler cards to create a back ground for two fun layouts. Using the Floral, Friends and Travel Filler cards I created both a  feminine and masculine layout. I added in some of my Storyline Deck of Days cards to help complete my layouts.

Let me start with my first layout.

Heidi Swapp Vintage Instax and Storyline

To begin with I took out two of the 12 x 12 pages from my Storyline album and ran one of them through my Silhouette cameo to cut the large circle. The second page I cut out that fun palm tree that I had downloaded from the Silhouette design store.

I  grabbed my Instax Vintage Filler cards and my photo and pulled out some of the cards that coordinated with the colors and theme of my photo. I then started laying them out around the circle. Once I liked the placement I came in with some of the Storyline Deck Of Days cards from the Motivational set to fill in some of the vacant places. I then took another 12 inch piece of cardstock, traced a circle using the cut circle and adhered my cards down. I then laid my cut circle page on top.

I added my journaling using my We R Memory Keepers typecast typewriter. First I used the pink frame from the Filler cards and traced the inside of the frame onto some white copy paper. I then ran it through my typewriter keeping the typing within the drawn area. I trimmed and adhered it to the frame and added it into my circle.I added that yellow epoxy word Hello from the Yellow Stationery Embellishment kit as my title.

I used some pop dots to add the palm tree over the circle design and added one of the heart Storyline cards under the palm leaves.

To complete my layout I added some of the clear stickers that come in the Filler card packs onto my photo and onto the frame with the journaling. I love the color combo of navy, yellow and rich plum in the cards, it creates a strong sense of contrast and interest .

My next layout is a more masculine page.

Again I took one of the 12 x 12 Storyline pages and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the rocket shape.

I then grabbed the Travel Filler card set and added that "Adventure is Calling" card with the clouds which was a perfect match to my theme.

Again I filled in my rocket shape with more of my Storyline Deck Of Days cards.

I layered one of the journaling Filler cards under the Silver Glitter frame from the Filler card then added a Storyline Deck Of days card for further texture.

I then slipped another of the Cloud Filler cards to further embellish my layout.

It really was fun to customize my own backgrounds for both my layouts. It is such a cool technique if you cannot find pattern paper to suit your photo of theme.
