I’m creating subtle embellishments on my holiday layout today.\u00a0Christmas has come and past this week, but I am going to venture to guess that you still have plenty of Christmas pictures to get into a scrapbook layout.\u00a0 I decided that rather than pack all those pictures up and save them for next year, I’d continue to do some scrapping while the memories are still fresh.<\/p>\n

Due to the busy-ness of the season, I wanted to keep things simple!\u00a0 So I went with a clean and simple layout showcasing subtle embellishing using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small<\/a>.\u00a0 Subtle doesn’t mean boring though – in fact, in this case, it means you get to WEAR YOUR ADHESIVE ON THE OUTSIDE!<\/p>\n

\"Creating<\/p>\n

The layout as a whole contains just a few simple elements – patterned paper, cardstock, gesso, glitter, and enamel dots.\u00a0 It looks like more though doesn’t it?!?\u00a0 That’s because of awesome adhesives!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In spite of not using any stickers – the layout still looks like it has a lot going on.\u00a0 One way to achieve that look is by using multiple adhesives.\u00a0 I combined the E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand<\/a> with the Crafty Foam Tape<\/a> to give my ornaments a variety of looks.\u00a0 To add glitter to the center of several snowflakes I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Small<\/a>.\u00a0 Subtle embellishing using adhesive dots is a great way to add character and texture to a scrapbook layout.<\/p>\n

My die cut title was really skinny so I wanted a wet adhesive for this layout because I knew I was adhering part of it to a glossy picture. Because of that, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen<\/a> but in a different method. Even that tip was wide for my title so I squeeze some glue out of it onto a scratch paper.\u00a0 Then I dipped my title into it gently.\u00a0 You can see exactly what I mean by that in my video tutorial below.<\/p>\n
