Summer Holiday Layout Tutorial for Uniquely Creative

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a tutorial blog post created for Uniquely Creative using the Summer Days collection. This collection is perfect for summery beach and holiday photos. The original tutorial can be seen on the Uniquely Creative blog HERE.

 

 

1. Use a piece of Day at the Beach paper as the base. 

 

2. Distress the edges of your photo using a sanding block. Matt onto some black cardstock cut and trim down with a deckle edge trimmer or deckle scissors.

 

3. Adhere onto a piece of the Summer Cocktails paper, trim down to leave a quarter inch border.

 

4. Adhere onto a larger piece of the Garden Party paper again trimming down leaving a quarter inch border.

 

5. Pick the two blue cards from the 6x4 Pocket Pack. Cut down as shown, these will form the matting layers underneath the photo. I didn’t end up using the two middle pieces, but you can still include these if you wish.

 

 

 

6. Adhere all of the pieces to form the photo mat cluster as shown.

 

 

 

7. Adhere some elements from the Creative Cuts, Cut-a-Part Sheet, and the Watercolour Cut-a-Part Sheet and Citrust Blooms Fussy Cut paper as shown. Attach the “Document” and “Beach Life” elements right over the printed staples on the image using a tiny attacher or stapler.

 

 

 

8. Die cut a few of each element from white cardstock using the Summer Icons die set. Adhere one sun icon die cut to the “Beach Life” element.

 

 

 

9. Add the “Summer Holiday” title from the Creative Cuts to the layout as shown.

 

10. Add random die cut elements from the Summer Icons die set to the top and bottom clusters as shown.
