For all of you masculinely-challenged-layout- folks out there
(and I'm in that category...it's a huge challenge for me!) I have a layout featuring
AUTHENTIQUE PAPER'S
Natural Collection
I love that the colors and patterns are masculine, rich and
vibrant; it was the perfect palette for one of my oldest son's Senior photos!

I went with one of the more muted papers for the background and then layered on color with
various mats, journal card and stickers. Wooden embellishments like veneers and clothespins
compliment the masculine style.

I'm drawn to arrows, pointers and stars for guys' layouts, so I fashioned a couple of chevron arrows
from the Daydream paper. Here is a pretty easy way to cut several pieces while keeping the
sides even at the same time.
from the Daydream paper. Here is a pretty easy way to cut several pieces while keeping the
sides even at the same time.
Fold paper in half, but don't crease too much.
Cut off the end and then cut following pieces at an angle; try to keep the widths about the same as you cut.
Easy, right?!? You could make a complete background in no time!
Thanks for stopping by the Authentique Paper blog!

Scor-Pal and any Authentique Papers.
On occasion, I like to make cards larger than the standard A2 (4.25" X 5.5") size. And on occasion I like to emboss the actual card and then layer on embellishments or a small journal card. Because most embossing folders are designed for the A2 size, it leaves the larger A7 (5" X 7") cards out of the mix.
But I have a fun alternative for the bigger guys!

First a look at the completed card...notice the grid on the background
To create the grid, all you will need is the Scor-Pal, scoring tool and plain card.
Open the card flat (you will only score the front).
Score at the 1/2" marks both vertically and horizontally.
It maybe necessary to make two passes with the scoring tool for thicker cardstock.
I decorated the front with a die-cut star and then made a banner with one of the Natural sentiment stickers and two Maya Road star stick pins. I think diagonally embossed lines would look really cool too!
For my next card I thought that a pocket would be fitting to go along with the masculine feel
of the Natural Collection.
of the Natural Collection.
First, cut paper for pocket to 3.5" X 3.5"
The point: I have found that the easiest way to get the sides even is to gently fold the paper in half (not making a crease) so that the sides meet. Cut the paper at an angle.
Place the pocket onto the Scor-Pal; score the two sides and bottom 1/4" from outer edge.
Fold in on all of the scored lines. Cut notches where the score lines intersect.
Apply 1/8" Scor-Tape to the folds and then attach to the front of the card.
I cut a tag from one of the patterned papers so that it was just a bit smaller than the pocket size.
You could also tuck in a gift card or movie tickets.

And one of my favorite things about Scor-Tape is that you can apply a strip over machine-stitched areas (before attaching to card-front) and it still holds together perfectly; no worries about your card coming apart with Scor-Tape!
