INTRODUCTION
In this e-tutorial, I show you step-by-step how to create the vintage layout on the cover page.
This is one of my favourite vintage themed scrapbook pages that I designed and have been selling in my
online shops.
The detailed instructions and photos show you
how to layer and place papers and embellishments. At
the beginning is a list of tools and supplies you will
need.
You can use embellishments you already
have. When I first started scrapbooking, I used lots of
Prima flowers but since flower embellishments don’t
come cheap, I started making my own. My book “My
Paper Garden” shows you how to create paper
flowers without the use of expensive punches or diecutting machines. It’s available in e-format on my
blog at http://scrappinrabbit.blogspot.ca/p/my-papergarden-my-paper-garden-is.html.
If you would like to make the large lace flowers shown in this layout, I provide a free tutorial for
making lace flowers on my blog at the following web address:
http://scrappinrabbit.blogspot.ca/2013/05/how-to-make-flowers-out-of-lace.html. (In this layout, I
followed the instructions in the tutorial and in addition I added a layer of sheer ribbon to make the
flowers.) Be forewarned though – these flowers are addictive and once you starting making a few, ideas
for customizing your own flowers will abound. I rarely purchase flowers anymore.
As you work through the instructions for this layout, I indicate measurements and also provide
tips to help make things easy. Once you’ve completed this layout, you’ll be able to make more in no
time.
The photo above shows the layout we will be working on. I’m also including on the next page
photographs of two other layouts I made following the same method, only with different embellishments
and colours for a different look. Yours need not be exactly the same.
I hope you enjoy making this project. If you need further clarification, feel free to email me at
[email protected]. I plan on writing similar tutorials for other layouts I’ve created so your
constructive comments are appreciated.

Before you start, gather up the following tools and supplies you will need to complete this project.
Tools
•

Paper Trimmer
Glue stick or glue tape
White or clear glue in a bottle (my favourite is a white tacky glue that dries fast)
Scissors
Stapler
Needle and thread
Foam dots for attaching die-cut leaves
Corner punch
Sewing machine with zigzag stitch (optional if you want to stitch around your layout)
Paper distressing tool or sandpaper (optional)
Following are the supplies I used:

12x12 inch background paper (I used paper from DCWV’s The French Country Stack)
12x12 inch cardstock that will coordinate with your background paper (I used green cardstock)
Paper and colour-coordinated cardstock for photo mat and pull-out tag
Paper doily (10-1/2 inches approx.)
Distress ink (I used Ranger Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap)
Long ornamental stems with beads (from the dollar store!)
3 large lace flowers (see the end of this tutorial if you wish to learn how to make your own)
Strands of beads
7 smaller assorted flowers
Die-cut leaves
Crystal swirls
2 paper butterflies
Stick on pearls (optional)
STEP 1 – Cut ! inch from the left side and
top of your 12x12 cardstock. The layout is
very thick so by cutting off a thin edge it will
allow your layout to fit properly in a page
protector.
STEP 2 – Cut " inch from the left side and
top of your background paper - your
cardstock will form a border around your
layout.
DO NOT GLUE YOUR BACKGROUND
PAPER TO YOUR CARDSTOCK JUST
YET!
STEP 3 – Use a paper distressing tool to fray
all four edges of the background paper.
TIP: You can also get the same effect with
scissors by running the blade along the edges
of the paper.
STEP 4 – Using a sponge, ink the edges and
corners of the background paper - this will
give a nice antique look.
Tip: I purchased a bag of makeup sponges at
my local dollar store and they work great!
For this layout, I used Ranger’s Distress Ink
in Frayed Burlap.
STEP 5 – Using a glue stick, adhere the doily
to the center of the background paper. Start by
adding glue to the larger center area of the
doily then dab a bit of glue here and there on
the lacy area being careful that the glue does
not ooze to the surface through the holes.
TIP: Applying archival mist will neutralize
the acid in the doily and help preserve it.
STEP 6 – Cut strands from the base of long
stems to make 2 bunches of 4-5 strands each.
(I used green and light blue beaded stems I
obtained from the dollar store. You can use
any type of long stems.)
To determine how long your stems need to be,
place 2 large lace flowers on the bottom of the
page as shown in the photo and insert stems
underneath. Make sure the flowers will cover
the base of the stems and that the stems do not
extend beyond the height or width of your
page (otherwise the layout will not fit in your
page protector). DO NOT GLUE THE
FLOWERS DOWN YET!!
Approximate measurements for the stems are
9 inches on the left side of the page (blue
stems), and 7 inches at the bottom extending
to the right (green stems).
STEP 7 – Attach the base of each bunch of
stems to the background paper with a couple
of staples. Don’t set staples too far apart since
the flowers will need to cover the stapled
area.
STEP 8 - Cut small squares of light-coloured
cardstock (approx. 1 x 1 inch) and glue them
over the stapled area of each bunch of stems
to help keep everything in place.
STEP 9 – Glue or tape the background paper
to your cardstock.
TIP: If you have access to a sewing machine,
try a zigzag stitch around the edges of your
background paper to help secure it to the
cardstock.
STEP 10 – Cut 3 strands of beads each about
5 inches long.
Form a loop with one strand by joining the
ends and use thread to tie them together.
Repeat with the other 2 strands.
Attach a strand underneath each of the 3
larger flowers with thread. Make sure the
bottom of the strands will be visible.
STEP 11 – Using thread, attach a small
square of cardstock to the bottom of each
flower. This will allow you to add glue to the
bottom of your flower and secure it to your
layout. (You risk glue oozing through the lace
if you try to apply it directly to the fabric.)
STEP 12 – Glue two of the larger flowers to
the bottom of your layout making sure they
cover the base of the stems. Position the
flowers so that the strands of beads at the
bottom do not extend beyond the page.
STEP 13 – To make the photo mat, cut a
piece of cardstock or paper (checkered design
in the photo) to measure 5-1/4 x 5-1/4 inches.
Cut a coordinating piece of paper (pink in the
photo) to measure 5 x 5 inches. Use a corner
punch to give a nice rounded edge. Ink the
edges of the paper to give an aged
appearance. Glue the paper to the cardstock.
STEP 14 – Apply glue to 3 sides on the back
of the photo mat to form a pocket. A tag will
be inserted in the right-hand side of the photo
mat so make sure you glue only the three
edges – with right side of paper facing you,
that would be the top, bottom and left edges.
Adhere the photo mat to the center of your
layout, angled slightly to the right.
Make sure the right-hand side of the photo
mat is the side with NO glue so that the tag
can slide in.
STEP 15 – To make the tag, cut a piece of
cardstock to measure approximately 4 x 5
inches. Use a border punch to create a
decorative edge (trim the width of your tag to
fit the punched border).
Trim coordinating paper 1/8 of an inch
smaller than the cardstock along each edge.
Apply ink to the edges of the paper and glue it
to the cardstock.
I also added ink to the top punched border and
stick-on pearls to embellish the tag.
The back of the tag remains blank so that it
can be used for journaling.
STEP 16 – Insert the tag in the pocket of the
photo mat, leaving the decorative edge
exposed.
STEP 17 – Glue the third large flower to the
top of the photo mat, making sure it doesn’t
interfere when pulling out the tag. Also make
sure the photo will be able to slide underneath
the bottom edge of the flower if needed.
STEP 18 – Once your large flowers have
been glued in place, you can start arranging
your smaller flowers.
Glue 3 small flowers on either side of the
stems at the left side of the layout.
Glue 2 small flowers between the two large
flowers at the bottom of the page.
STEP 19 – Use die-cut leaves (or cut your
own) to fill in spaces between the flowers.
Use foam dots to adhere leaves for a 3D
effect.
Tip: Use chalk and pens to add colour to your
leaves.
(Flowers with leaves)
STEP 20 – Apply a crystal swirl to the left of
the large flower at the top of your layout,
overlapping it slightly onto the photo mat.
STEP 21 – Add 2 more small flowers and
leaves on each side of the large top flower.
STEP 22 – Attach a butterfly close to the
stems on the left side of the page.
Attach another butterfly in the top right corner
of the page.
And here is the final product!
You are now ready to add your photos and
journaling.
