Techniques Used in This Project

Working With Sketches

Elisa demonstrates how starting with a sketch can provide structure and inspiration for your scrapbook layout. Sketches serve as valuable blueprints that can be adapted to suit your style and photos. Using a sketch helps ensure balance in your layout and can significantly speed up the creative process, especially when you're feeling stuck. You can always customize the sketch by rotating it, mirroring it, or adjusting element sizes to fit your needs.

Layering Techniques

One key technique Elisa showcases is effective layering to add depth and visual interest. She carefully builds layers using patterned papers, cardstock, and embellishments, creating dimension without overwhelming the page. Try varying the size, color, and texture of your layers to create maximum impact. Remember that small, subtle layers can often be more effective than large, dramatic ones.

Working with Metal Dies

The video highlights how metal die cuts can add elegant touches to your layouts. These versatile tools allow you to create precise cutouts that add sophistication to any project. When using metal dies, consider using different paper types - from cardstock to patterned paper - to create varied effects. Die cuts work beautifully as focal points, frames for photos, or subtle background elements.
