Carefree Day | Technique Tuesday

Hey friends!  I am excited to be here today sharing a layout in my December Daily album, using the new Technique Tuesday Self Care Stamps and Geometric Border Crafting Dies.  These sets are so versatile- perfect for many different types of projects.

Here's a look at the layout:

December is always a busy month for my family, so I created a layout prior to the month documenting one of my "self-care days."   This is pretty much how I start my at-home days- with coffee and knitting.  It is such a great way to start ANY day!

To begin the page, I pulled some papers and embellishments from the Crate Paper Snowflake collection.  I trimmed white cardstock to fit in my album and layered patterned papers over both pages, machine stitching around the edges for texture and interest.  Using the Geometric Border Crafting Dies, I cut some pieces to layer at the edge of both pages.  I love how it frames the layout!

Next, I hand cut another paper into a tag shape and used the Self Care Stamps to add the title to a label.  I stamped using black ink so that it would stand out on the page.  I added some vellum behind the tag and used stickers to embellish it.

For the other side of the layout, I added the photo and used the Essential Stitched Labels Crafting Dies to cut a label.  I stamped a couple more sentiments using the stamp set and black ink.  I added some puffy stickers to frame the photo and denote the day I was documenting.  Using my computer, I typed and printed the journaling, trimmed it into strips, and adhered it to the page. 

Here's one final look a the layout:

I love how this project came together using the Self Care Stamps and Geometric Border Crafting Dies.  Be sure to check out the Memory Keepers Studio Clear Stamps and Fresh Cut Studio Craft Dies at Technique Tuesday.
