Design Challenge

I run a bi-weekly design challenge on a private Stampin’ Up! mailing list. I plan on posting my samples as I have time. This week’s challenge is to design or create a scrapbooking page using a Map created by Becky Fleck, author of the very popular book Page Maps.

The challenge uses this card map and here is my submission with directions.

1. Cut a 4 x 8 strip of Baja Breeze and fold it in half for your card base.
2. Cut a 4 x 4 ½ strip of Baja Breeze Grid Patterned Designer Series Paper.
3. Scallop punch one edge of the 4 x 4 ½ strip of Baja Breeze DSP.
4. Trim ½ off the scallop edge side of the DSP. Flip over and adhere to the lower edge of your 4 x 4 card. The scallop edges should hang off the end of the card.
5. Trim ½ off of the 4×4 Baja Breeze DSP. Flip that over and adhere to the very top of your card.
6. Adhere the final 4 x 3 ½ piece of Baja Breeze to the center of your card.
7. Adhere border stickers from the Roof Garden Accents and Elements sticker pack to hide both edges at the bottom and top of the card where the DSP paper touches.
8. Distress paper & edges of stickers using a sanding block or sand paper.
9. Cut out a Top Note Die from a piece of Baja Breeze DSP and then cut the shape in half. Ink the edges and tie a bow around the piece using Basic Grey Taffeta Ribbon.
10. Adhere your ½ Top Note die cut down to the edge of the bottom border sticker.
11. Adhere your choice of flower stickers from the Roof Garden Accents and Elements sticker pack to the center of the Top Note die and you are done!
