Well, it is Tuesday that means we always try and give you a fun tip or technique and today Design Team member Melissa Oliveira is sharing two gorgeous layouts with us with some great ideas. Melissa got to use the awesome Indie Bloom collection and isn’t cool how she made it festive for us? BasicGrey is SO versatile.
Melissa sanded the background of the BasicGrey Core Impressions to highlight the photo. She made the banner by cutting triangles from the back side of the BasicGrey core impressions, then mounting ot to the brown side (the right side) and trimming a scalloped border using Fiskars deco scissors.
Next up…a TREE from TORN paper!!! SO COOL!
Melissa cut the small presents at the bottom of the LO from the front packaging sheet of the Indie Bloom collection. The prints are smaller on the cover art so they worked well for the look Melissa was going for (the full size prints would have been too big). The tree was made by tearing strips of the BG core impressions, then arranging with repositionable adhesive (from the Glue Glider Pro) and machine stitching in place.
Stunning LOs! These are my fave coredination papers.
Gorgeous layouts! Those kids are just adorable. I LOVE the torn tree on the second one. Thanks for a great idea!
Very, very fun. Thanks so much for sharing your talents!

GREAT ideas! I love how the first one was done with sanding out the middle part and the second one with the tree- brilliant!
Beautiful layouts, lovely colors and designs. Love this new core’dinations line. Thanks for the chance to win
so pretty! I love the first layout that has only part of the design sanded. Those wrapped presents and torn Christmas tree on the 2nd layout are so fun, will definately use that for one of my layouts.
Really cute baby layouts! I like the way the paper is sanded more towards the middle not the edges on the greatest baby layout.
Two brilliant pages – love the selective sanding of the first and the second is a fabulous way to showcase the Kraft core card – seriously CUTE!
Love the adorable Santa baby!
The Christmas Tree is adorable!
Could these projects get any better! I love them all!
