Step by Step paper crafting tutorials

This month, the Scrapbook Nerd Design Team is working with layers, along with the Scrapbook Nerd product. Adding layers to your projects doesn’t have to mean adding a lot of bulk, but it does add a lot of visual interest and dimension. It’s going to be a lot of fun to see all the different ways the Nerd Girls use layers on their projects.

Using the We R Memory Keepers Indian Summer collection, Michelle shows us how she created a gorgeous Fall project.

I was so excited that this month’s challenge is layers. Perfect challenge for me. Well actually it’s no challenge at all because I layer all the time!

Today I have a quick tutorial using a scallop punch to add layering on your project.

Here is the punch I choose but any will do.

Cut out 5″-6″ strips of paper and punch out the border of each. I did 14 strips but you can do more or less. Layer the strips randomly on your background paper and stick them down.

I then scattered some sequins randomly on the strips, letting some of them go out a bit further. I used these ones:

Then I also added some wood pieces to add more dimension to my LO!

To finish I added some layered papers behind my photo and added a title.
