Mardi Gras Mementos Materials: flower, leaf and mask die-cuts
paper in assorted colors
clear page protector
envelope die
acid-free adhesive and double-sided tape
silver pen
foam dots
- First, create a pocket that will store beads and other dimensional mementos. Cut a small triangle of paper from the same color as the background paper. Trim with a contrasting color and use foam dots around the edges to adhere to background pages. Tip: Don't discard the adhesive material surrounding the foam dots. Use it in the same manner as foam dots are used to adhere die-cuts, pop-ups and other dimensional pieces to scrapbook pages.
- Use clear page protector and envelope die to cut an envelope that will collect and protect memorabilia.
- Assemble and embellish page as desired.
Vacation Pages As a variation, Genovese also creates a vacation page that documents the restaurants and special meals experienced on the vacation trip. - The photos are revealed by pulling them from a slot created on the page.
- A journaling square and memory button capture the experience in words and sound and create an interactive page.
- To reveal the photographs, Genovese cuts a slot through the paper. A photograph is added to a piece of paper or cardstock that fits the slot. A themed die-cut shape is adhered above the photo. Finally, the base of the insert is pushed through the slot.
