Scrapbook Layouts!

The June Stamp of the Month - KABOOM, is such a fun set....the layouts you can create with this stamp set are endless.

On this layout the fireworks blast has been used to create a bright and colourful background.  The "What a Blast" was cut with Cricut and the rocket firework was fussy cut.  Kaboom was stamped above a photo to act as a heading.  The Pow! Bang! and Bam! are randomly stamped between the background stamping.
Products used:  Paper Fundamentals - Basic Assortment, Ruby Red Cardstock, Twilight Cardstock,
Exclusives Stamp Pads - Various colours, 3D Foam Tape

This next layout is a variation on the layout in the current Idea Book.  There's plenty of room for photos, and plenty of decorative elements to create an eye catching page.

You're the Bomb Layered Card

The June Stamp of the Month - Kaboom is a really fun and festive set to use.  You've probably seen plenty of these layered cards before, usually using flowers....well this is a fun take on that card!

Products used:  White Daisy Cardstock 1385; Goldrush Cardstock 1243;
June Stamp of the Month-Kaboom S1406; 3D Foam tape Z1151

This card looks pretty fancy but it's fairly easy to put together.  You need 3 layers of white cardstock or varying sizes.  Layer them on top of one an other (secure with a tiny bit of adhesive to avoid movement while stamping), then random stamp the fireworks pattern over all the layers of white card. Add a few "Bang!" & "Bam" stamps among the fireworks.

Mount the two smaller layers of stamped white card with a matching coloured cardstock then stick all three layers together and onto a card base.  You can stamp and "fussy" cut the TNT and "You're the Bomb" embellishments then use 3D Foam tape to add dimension.  Add a liner to the inside of the card and decorate if desired.

Finish off the card by stamping the card liner before adhering.
