Instructions
Building the Landscape
- Take the Beige paper and tear a line across the page to form the base of
the mountains.
- Using scissors cut out a set of mountains using the Brown paper. Attach
the brown mountains to your beige paper.
- Cut a light blue strip wide enough to fill your mountains to the top of a
12x12 page. I did not use a base page to attach my pieces to. You can if
you would like to use a full page as a blank canvas. Because I was doing
the two page spread, I wanted to save on paper.
Making the Sun
- Using my circle cutter I cut the corner of my yellow paper to form a
quarter circle.
- I cut the rays for the sun using scissors.
- I punched the swirl using my Sizzix Medium Swirls Die on gold paper to
finish off the sun. I adhered to the page using 3L photo squares and Sailor
Glue.
Paving the Road
- Using The Sizzix Personal Die Cut Machine and the Sizzix Road and Wavy
Border punch enough sections of road to cross your pages. Mine took 7 once
I filled in the edges.
- Cut yellow strips about a 1/4" thick and a couple of inches long. Long
enough to cover the length of your little roads.
- Using the back of your road die cuts, cut along the line in the center of
the road making it wider so the yellow strips will show through.
- Adhere the yellow strips to the back of the wavy roads using your
adhesive. I used Sailor glue in between the dashes I had cut. Once I had
the yellow strips attached, I used photo squares to affix the road to the
desert.
- Cut yellow cardstock to fill in the windows on the van and place the van
too.
- A great journaling technique is to journal in waves along the bottom of
the road, or across the top.
Titling it All
- Cutting a strip of the map paper I began to punch the letters to my title
topper.
- Using the Sizzix Dies in the Sizzix Fun Serif Big Alphabet punch "ROAD
TRIP" in a straight line so the map will read correctly (don't you hate it
when you punch just one upside down?).
- Mount your letters on the red cardstock and then mat that with the map
paper. Adhere the title topper to your page.
Placing Your Photos
- Using my 12" trimmer I cut a square and a rectangle using the brown paper,
and then matted them on dark gray.
- Using my circle and oval cutters I did the same.
- Adhere the shapes to your page and you are ready for your
pictures.
