Here’s a look at the layout I created using this sensational star background cut file!
Supplies | Carta Bella Paper The 4th of July collection: Patterned paper, stickers, ephemera, enamel dots; Red Twine: May Arts; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: tape runner, foam adhesive; Scrapbook.com: Adhesive, foam adhesive; Tools: Silhouette Cameo; Other: white thread, sewing machine
The repeated star grid design was very quilt-like, so I rolled with that idea and pieced together many of the stars on the background.
I used The Fourth of July collection from Carta Bella Paper to create my page. I started by cutting the entire design from a neutral, white striped paper sheet. I mounted the white portion onto red paper with a very subtle pattern. I stitched around each of the squares with white thread.
I have found that I love using papers with smaller-scale prints to back these types of cut files, and this layout is no exception! I placed four different 6 x 6-inch patterned papers on my cutting mat and cut the entire design again. Using all of these pieces, I mixed them to create my “quilted” background. I used foam adhesive to pop up some of the solid stars.
I added a few additional embellishments, stickers, and a couple of photos to complete the page. I didn’t feel like I wanted to cover up any more of the background design, so I printed the journaling and attached it to the back of the layout.
