New Year New You Webster's Pages July 2014

These are the July pages for the Webster's Pages© "New Year New You" Calendar Class that is held monthly at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

July Page Left

"Pollen" yellow by American Crafts© and the "Kite" print from the "New Year New You" collection by Webster's Pages© will be the backgrounds for both pages this month. Cut the SKU strip off the bottom of the pages. Then cut each paper in half (6" wide x 12" high). The "Kite" paper will be on the "out"-side of each scrapbook page, and the "Pollen" yellow will be on the "in"-side of each scrapbook page. Attach to the back of last month's page to make the July Left Page.

Using the Die-Namics "Cloud Trio" cutting die from My Favorite Things©, cut out three clouds from white card stock and three clouds from "Soft Sky" blue card stock (Stampin' Up!©) with your die cutting machine. Place only the white clouds in the "Hounds-tooth" embossing folder (by Sizzix© for Stampin' Up!©) and run through the embossing machine. After you have embossed the white clouds, you will use pop dots in between the blue "shadow" layers and the embossed clouds to give the clouds height and dimension on your page. You want the largest cloud to appear to be the biggest and nearest to you, so it needs thicker pop dots than the medium and small size clouds do. They need to appear farther away, so you need to use thinner pop dots in between the cloud layer and the blue "shadow" layer. Be sure to match up your embossed clouds with their "shadows" and offset the blue "shadow" layers slightly.

We will use the Die-Namics "Jumbo Kite" die from My Favorite Things© to create a kite to play off the "Kite" paper. Cut the kite base, string, and bows from "Passionate" paper by American Crafts©. Cut the kite segments from "A New Year A New You" paper scraps. Run the kite segments, bows, and kite string through the Xyron©. Adhere the segments to the kite base. Attach kite string, kite, and bows as shown. Add a clear rhinestone to the center of each bow.

July Page Right

For the right page of this layout, we are going to adhere the "Pollen" and "Kite" patterns to the "Mark it on the calendar" page. (The brocade print will be the base for August's left page.)

On the "Pollen" section of the page, we are going to add the calendar for July. Mat the calendar on a piece of "Passionate" card stock by American Crafts© and adhere.

Emboss two blank white tags from The Paper Studio© in the "Floral Frame" Texture Fades Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz Alterations©.  Emboss the design on the right side of the tag only by placing your tag in the bottom right of the embossing folder. When you close the embossing folder, check to see that you like the placement of the embossing on the tag. Run through your embossing machine. Add sheer yellow ribbon from Oriental Trading Company© to each tag.

Attach the yellow "doily print" bag to the page as shown. Attach the "mini photographs" bag on top of the other bag. Cut out the large yellow doily from your doily paper and cover up the "mini photographs" label. Slide your tags into the bags as a place to write highlights of July.
