Making Interactive Layouts with JBS Paper Tape

Amanda Jones shows us a great idea for using our JBS Paper Tapes!



It's no secret that I love Washi tape so I was thrilled to get my hands on Jenni's new tapes! I have used tapes in a variety of ways on my scrapbook pages in the past and for this layout I wanted to try something I've not done before.


I used the bleached woodgrain and double chevron Paper Tapes to attach the top sides of some pieces of patterned paper to my layout. I used the tape to create "hinges" so that the paper would be able to flip up and I could include my journaling/notes under the flaps. I did the same with the photo, so that it matched the page, although that piece does not flip up. I also created little tabs in the shape of banners with the tape to be used as taps to lift the flaps.


So that my page was balanced I used three strips of each tape around my page. I added a third tape, the sideways chevron, also three times to create more tabs and decoration.

Modern Mercantile Chevron Love

One of the most popular patterns in the new Modern Mercantile line is the Sundries Sheet with a whimsical and pretty chevron print. 


Amanda Jones loves this pattern too!  She explains just why and shows us a great layout in this post!

There are lots of things to love about the Modern Mercantile collection but one of my favourite things is the fun chevron paper!


I trimmed a section of the chevron paper to add across the bottom of my layout. The best part is, with the great mix of patterns, I can trim a similar section for another page and it will look entirely different.


I clustered the rest of my elements above the chevron and then echoed the pattern above with a few hand-cut triangles. I love this collection and can't wait to find more ways to use those chevrons!


Happy Scrapping!

Thank you Amanda!
