This layout is an illusion. At first glance it looks like there is a blue piece of cardstock positioned diagonally on a black piece. But no! It is an old quilter’s trick. Look in the upper corners. That little black triangle in each corner is fooling your eyes. You can do it too, give it a try.

Be sure to use Bazzill Matchmaker to make it easy to pick just the right cardstock for your favorite printed paper. Find the manufacturer on the list and look for the image of the paper you want to match. Underneath you will find all the Bazzill cardstock colors our matchmaker suggest. To make this layout visit your local scrapbook store to die cut the circle from patterned paper and the frames from the matching cardstock. So simple. So cute!

These three itty-bitty flowers make a big, yet simple statement on this page. There are 20 pcs. in each package of Bloom Paper Flowers and they will go a long way in decorating page layouts. Add a button or a 3mm Brad to the center and make some magic happen.

That is one pretty button in the center of that flower! If you like sparkly buttons be sure to check out the new Vintage Bazzill Buttons. Just pop the shank of the back and glue it down. So easy. So pretty. Just think of the possibilities for these buttons!

The cluster of buttons in the center of flowers is a fun look. Bazzill has added some really fun buttons to its collection that would look extra sparkly in the center of your flowers. Look for the Modern Buttons and the Self-Adhesive Bling (these don’t have holes in the center!) and fill those flower centers this spring.

Tie him up with a little piece of Bazzill Tulle to add a little dimension on a boy page without adding all the frilly ribbon. Just a simple piece of black tulle is just the punch this layout needs and it is really inexpensive! Have a spool on hand for gift wrapping, too. It is so easy even the kids can do it.

There are two great ideas on this page to try at home. First, notice the three strips of cardstock and the touch of patterned paper on the page at an angle. This entire layout works because everything from the photo to the words is at the same angle. Second, the layout as an airy floaty feel to it because of the white flower on the Bazzill White background. The brown brads as center grounds everything nicely.

Here is a clever use for Bazzill Paper Flowers – as leaves! Cut every two petals apart from the flower for a darling leaf cluster. The flowers shown on this page are also very clever. Try die-cutting various size flowers from one piece of Bazzill cardstock and coordinating patterned paper. Stack all the pieces a little catty-wampus and insert a 10mm brad. Oh, so cute!

These die-cut hearts only look like felt because Heidi Lynn Schreiber wadded, crinkled, creased, and squished them… with love. After all the abuse, she carefully unfolded each heart and smoothed it until it was flat again. The result was a heart that looked felt even though it’s not.

Joey Otlo carried the “road” theme just the right distance. Taking a cue from the patterned paper, she added three simple circles in stop light colors – red, yellow and green and then she did the same with the arrows. This very simple layout would be complete without the perfect quote – and Joey found it!
