Mixed Pattern Layout

Welcome scrappy friends! Tracy here and today I have a simple Mixed Pattern Layout. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Let’s Get Started!

Some can struggle mixing patterned papers, but it’s something I love to do. I chose a patterned background that was light and a simple blocked pattern. Then I chose a very contrasting pattern, the black floral. Cut this to 8×8 and mat it in white cardstock. Adhere all of these layers using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Mat the 4×6 photo in white cardstock. I chose the next layer of patterned paper to contrast the 3 before. This time I used I light green marbled pattern. Cut it to 3×9, and adhere under where the matted photo would be placed using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the matted photo to the mixed pattern layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Adhere patterned strips across the layout using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, perfect for adhering narrow strips. I then added white cardstock behind the mini frames, again using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Adhere this frame to the layout using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Begin adding coordinating stickers and embellishments around the matted photo.
