Simple Stories Pack Your Bags – Amy Kattenbelt

Hi Magpies. Amy here. Today I’m sharing a layout using one of my all time favourite and reliable designs, the classic 3*2 grid layout.

I’m using the new travel collection by Simple Stories that is called Pack Your Bags.

To add a twist to this classic layout design I used Hey Little Magpies stamp die set. I cut patterned papers using a medium sized die to make stamp edged shapes.

I love that the die sets add some embossing details too. To two of the patterned papers I added my photos. I made them smaller than the stamp shaped patterned papers so that the paper frames the photos.

On another one of the shapes I added a “where to next” die cut as my title.

I decorated the other shapes with foam stickers and diecuts. I added a subtitle and the date.

To the top and bottom of the layout I added a 12 inch strip of suitcase patterned paper to form a border.

Have you got any classic layout designs that you go back to time and again? I’d love to see them. I’ll be back sharing more inspiration with this collection in a few days. Until then, take care, Amy.
