Damask Love Wild Card Scrapbook Layout: Paper Cacti

Hello friends! Leigh here, with my very first scrapbook layout using the brand new Damask Love paper collection called Wild Card! This collections is so fun and colorful! I LOVE it!! 

I love the patterns in this collection, and chose to create paper cacti with the gorgeous double sided 12x12 card stock patterns. I first added a layer of Vicki Boutin Gesso to the background paper (Let's Chill) and after it air dried, I added the watercolor with Vicki Boutin Watercolor Markers, and paints. 

Up close, You can see the hand-stitching on the hand cut paper cacti I created. You can hand-cut the cacti shapes easily with a craft knife or scissors. I cut several of the same shape so that I could layer them. After adhering the layers over each other, I stitched and folded up the top layers so that I could trim them down. Trimming down the top layer to a smaller width allows you to view the layer beneath. I added cross-hatch stitching to the hand-cut Prickly Pear shaped cacti. 

The stickers, sequins, and ephemera packs have plenty of options for easy embellishment on your layouts, or any paper craft! I cut three of the smaller cacti from the cut-apart 12x12 patterned card stock. The other small cacti I from the Ephemera Pack! I love the bright and clean rainbow colors in this collection! 

I added the card stock sticker "Hello" for the title, and also added a few sticker words throughout the layout. You can use the new American Crafts Wild Card by Damask Love collection for any bright and happy paper craft you can imagine! Love!!

Hobonichi Style Plan With Me: Week 15 and Debut of Damask Love Products at Joann Stores!

Hello friends! I have another post and video to share using The Reset Girl™ April "Girl Friday" kit available here: April Girl Friday Kits

Hobonochi is a Japanese planner that has taken the world by storm! Once you get one, you understand the craze:) The paper is phenomenal! Tomoe River paper is thin, so it isn't bulky, but withstands fountain pen, watercolor, inks, and many other mediums very well. 

I am loving the combination of listing and memory planning in my Hobonichi! It is actually an Edit B6 Diary Weeks left from Little Craft Place, but since that is not a popular brand yet, so I say Hobonichi style, and everyone in the planner community knows what I mean! :)

The right side features the memory planning side, and the light lines make it super easy to journal on this side! I combined the girls from the Girl Friday Kit, with some American Crafts supplies from Joann Stores , and Amber of Damask Love! 

The left side shows the listing prompts from The Reset Girl! I love combining the prompts in the predates days on the left! IT makes this project so easy to keep up with! Note: All the table scatter in this photo is from the Wild Card collection by American of Damask Love in collaboration with American Crafts!! Available at select Joann Stores nationwide!
