Christmas Presents Scrapbook Layout with Elena

Hello This is Elena and I have one more scrapbook layout to share today. I like to look through the photographs I have made several years ago and pick some of the best ones to use for my scrapbook pages.

Christmas Presents Scrapbook Layout with Elena Olinevich for Spellbinders using S4-768 Swirls Strip, S4-823 Presents, S5-307 A2 Swirls Frame dies and SDS-095 Mandalas, SDS-097 Light Shine stamp and die sets by Stephanie Low. #spellbinders #scrapbooking #layout #christmaslayout

For my Layout I started with the Presents die by Sharyn Sowell. I really love the collections with the silhouette she creates. I die-cut kids silhouettes from pearlescent white cardstock.

I also wanted to maintain the idea of giftwrapping so I added the Strip of Swirls die cut that I cut out of silver glitter cardstock. I complemented it with a stripped ribbon, that I pulled through the die cut and made a bow on top.

Then I focused on the frame. I like adding frames to my layouts, they help to create layers around the photo and always add sophisticated look to them. I die-cut a large frame from A2 Swirls Frame set and layered it a behind of my photo.

This time I also wanted to create a few embellishments for my project. So I stamped several images using stamps from the Cool Vibes collection by Stephanie Low –  Mandals Set and the wreath from Light Shine set, that I heat embossed in silver and red embossing powders and colored slightly with watercolors.

Using the same Light Shine Set I heat embossed a title my Layout and put it in a little frame made using Swirls Frame set.
