I've been teaching super tacky tape tricks at trade shows for nearly two years.  I always have questions about the issues, as the techniques are fun!  I took some time to video some of the tricks, and I even cover how to make the "tape sandwich". 

This layout is a great layout that allows you to work with new products, and make your own page accents!

Supplies Used:

Bazzill Cardstock: Pebbles background papers, and accent pieces.

Bazzill Cardstock: White for chair

Bazzill Cardstock Dotted Swiss: Mudd Puddles (brown) cut to 4.25x6.25 for photo mat, 1x12 for strips on page, 2- 1.25"x3" for title mat, cut one tag from Cricut Bags, Tags and More Cartridge.

7 Gypsies Paper Line Barcelona

I love this paper line because it is so versatile. It looks great as this beach layout, but works well on many other projects. These are all double sided papers with lots of options!

Tools Used:

Tim Holtz Edge Distressor

Products Used:

Glossy Accents

May Arts Hemp String

This layout uses some new products that are fun to work with. Take the two brown strips, and accent with Mudd Puddles product. Just a small amount will do, just make sure you have one clean edge. Allow the product to dry 2-3 hours to completely dry.

Locate all the page pieces (except the tag)and accent the edges with the edge distressor, then accent with brown ink. Place the pattern paper on the page as shown, leaving a place on the upper right hand side for a journal tag. Attach paper to tag to make a tag topper using the tiny attacher.

Cut the beach chair from the Cricut Cartridge from white paper, and Creative Imaginations Wood Paper using the Life Is A Beach Cartridge. Cut at 4". Layer the two pieces together. Place on page as shown.

Cut the title at 1" from the Life Is A Beach Cartridge. Use the font on the cartridge. Assemble title as shown.

Choose a photo for a focal point. To mat the photo assemble as shown, using edge distressor on edges. Accent photo mat with hemp string from May Arts.

To make the accent pieces cut the star fishes at 1" from the Life Is a Beach cartridge. Use a brown pen to accent pieces, and accent edges with brown ink.

Cut the sand dollar piece (round piece) using the Life Is A Beach Cartridge at 1.25". Cut a photo mat using brown paper. Adhere together to make one piece. Place glossy accents on the piece and allow to dry. This piece will take several hours to dry. Accent with hemp string from May Arts.
