How to Craft a Scrapbook Page

Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve cherished memories and create something special to treasure for years to come. But where to start? Follow our easy guide to create a beautiful spring scrapbook page, with your favourite photograph as the centrepiece!

We’ve used Gemini nesting frame dies to create a layered effect, so your photos, pictures and souvenirs will really stand out.

You will need:

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Take a piece of paper from 12” x 12” paper pad. We've used one that has a lovely border to it – this will form the base for your scrapbook layout.

2. Use a Gemini machine to die cut four frames of your choice out of of pale brown card. Ink the edges to create variety and depth to the frames, and attach to your scrapbook page as shown.

3. Take your photograph and layer onto a slightly larger piece of pale brown card. Die cut using an intricate die frame and attach your photograph onto it. Use foam pads to attach to the centre of your page.

4. Die cut your sentiments in both pale brown and darker brown card. Ink the edges of the pale brown pieces. Layer together, offsetting the darker piece slightly to create a drop shadow effect.

5. Use the your foliage dies to cut out leaf shapes from green card. Attach around and under the photograph.

6. Use scissors or a craft knife to fussy cut one of the floral designs from the vellum pad and glue under the edges of the photo.

7. Cut out additional embellishments from the vellum pad - we've used hearts here - and use foam pads to attach onto your page alongside the sentiment pieces. You could use stickers and gems at this stage as well.
