Hello, everyone! It’s LeeAnne here, with a fun and festive layout featuring the new Stencil Number Banner Die Cuts paired with the December kit and extras.
Supplies | December 2022 Kit, Stencil Number Banner Die Cuts, Matte Silver Heart and Star Cardstock Stickers, White Jane Alphabet Cardstock Stickers, Twinkle Paper Stack, The Tiniest Date Stamp
The Stencil Number Banner Die Cuts includes two of each number, 0 through 9, in a classic stencil-style font punched from white cardstock pennant shapes. They’re super versatile: You could use one or two to number a Document December entry, use several in a numbered list layout, or string a few together like bunting, as I have done to document my daughter’s holiday dance performance.
To make the numbers pop and coordinate with the photo, I backed each flag with Twinkle Paper Stack patterned paper, aiming for a balance of red and green. Filling the space between the numbers are strips cut from various journal tags in the December 2022 Kit.
To add a little dimension to the bunting, I used several techniques. I ran chunky red and white twine across the top of the flags to give the impression they are hanging. I also ran the twine through metal eyelets to anchor it in the space. Lastly, I used foam adhesive under the bottom of each flag, to lift it off the paper just a little.
Journaling on white strips helped to balance the bold White Jane Alphabet Cardstock Stickers at the top of the layout. With the addition of the date and a sprinkling of Matte Silver Heart and Star Cardstock Stickers, the layout felt complete.
I hope this layout inspires you to use the Stencil Number Banner Die Cuts to help document your memories. When you do, share with the hashtag #ellesstudio. We can’t wait to see! Thank you!
