Scrapbooking: How To Make Your Own Unique Embellishments For A Wedding Layout
There are many motifs which are ‘standard’ for weddings; doves, rings, shoes, flowers (especially in bouquets) and, of course hearts.
Rings are a challenge to cut out. The best way to create a ring embellishment is through a rubber stamp. Using gold or silver embossing supplies, stamp and emboss the ring on a square of card and if you can, make it look as much like THE ring (wedding or engagement) as you can. Remove the square, mount on a slightly larger square of contrasting or gold or silver card (preferably textured) possibly using a foam pad for dimension, and what you get is a simple yet compelling wedding embellishment.
It is common for wedding scrapbooks to be filled with embellishments shaped like a wedding cake, but if I can get hold a good wedding cake shape, I like to use them as tags. Every page needs at least one tag, so when working on a full wedding scrapbook instead of a mere layout, it is best to make them by batches. One of the easier things to use is a simple die cut of a wedding cake. These can be easily found on ebay or you can have your own die cutting machine for personal use. If you can make your own, pearlised card looks lovely, and is usually available in white or ivory as well as shell pink, all good colors for a wedding. A sizzix bigz die will go well with this perfectly. Cut one from plain paper and one from fancy and write your journaling on the plain version. Be careful to do that before you assemble your tag, it’s not fun afterwards! You could turn the fancy tag into an elaborate cake by simply adding tiny pearly dots from a soufflé pen to give an icing effect and then decorate with the smallest cut out flowers you can find in several toning colors. You can then stick your journaling on the back and add to your page with enough ribbon for someone to turn it if they want to read. Or trim the journaling until it is slightly smaller and mount it on top of the full size cake shape. In either case add a ribbon or fiber so you can add the tag to the page. You can use the same technique to cut out shoes and add some tiny flowers where the buckles would be. Personally I like to finish most things with a little transparent glitter, but not everyone likes glitter as much as I do!
Flower embellishments can be made by cutting out flowers from any flowery scrapbooking paper, such as the le-romantique two sided paper ‘loves labyrinth’. A number of rose pairs are featured in this design. Make a base out of an entire design then cut out a few choice elements. Add these to the base with a spot of silicone glue and tease into a 3D shape. When dry you can add tiny spots of clear glitter to finish it off. The final product is an embellishment that matches perfectly with a layout made of l-romantique papers, frames and tags.
Another option is to create flowers out of die cuts or even more cheaply using a stencil or template such as ’20 Blossoms’ from Hot off the Press. A number of acrylic stamps include flower heads that are varied in size. You can stamp these, cut them out and layer them together, gently curling the petals for a 3D effect. For something modern try ‘Mindy’s flowers’ from Mindy Terawasa which provides swirls and stems you can stamp on your scrapbook pages while you add the 3d flower heads you have created. For a truly delicate look, try making your flower head from vellum and add just a tiny amount of sparkle. Then you can make a bouquet by simply gluing several flower heads together.
Little flowers in 3D look amazing when attached to nearly anything, a standard tag, even one originally designed for a parcel, can be made to look good with a few 3d flowers. But weddings are one place where a heart motif is most definitely appropriate. The good news is that this is usually very easy to find. There are several craft punches that can make different heart configurations, however do not limit yourself to just using cut outs. You can use the heart punches to embellish your wedding pages by cutting a strip of paper, plain if your background is patterned, patterned if your background is plain. Punch the strip and remove the punched out hearts (for use on other pages), then either placing the paper strip back direct over your background, or put a ribbon below it to make a very decorative border. Ribbon can be very useful in creating a contrast of texture as well as color and satin ribbon provides a beautiful shiny surface which looks very luxurious.
A myriad of possibilities are there for you when you are thinking about wedding pages, I am often surprised that some people shy away from them in the belief that there’s little creativity involved. Your scrapbook is what you make it and that’s half the fun. One day create a layout from a design you’ve seen and embellishments you’ve bought, the next do it all from scratch and really express yourself. There are no rights and wrongs. Only what appeals to you!
