Textured Color Block Layout Made Easy

First, I created my simple layered background by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 10 x 10-inch. Adhere it to a full sheet of yellow patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next, I cut the burlap paper to 4.5 x 4.5-inch squares. The back of this burlap paper is rough textured and kind of rubbery. Regular adhesives just wouldn’t cut it, so I brought out the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and adhered the squares to the white cardstock.

Mat the cropped 4 x 6-inch white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Cut a larger mat from pink patterned paper, and add the photo to it using Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. Adhere the matted photo to the textured color block layout using Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. It sticks to this tricky texture beautifully.

Cut a strip of patterned paper to add up the left-hand side of the layout and adhere that to the background using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then I added a few die cut pieces to that strip using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Add die cut pieces to the Easy Textured Layout above and below the matted photo using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Add a few cardstock stickers and chipboard stickers around the matted photo using Adhesive Dots Small, to make sure they stay put on this Easy Textured Layout.
