Design Inspiration: Pearl Lui

We've got Miss Pearl Lui here for today's Design Inspiration! Pearl is always clever and always inspiring! Heck, she is the very reason why I started stamping over 4 years ago!

Pearl: "Hey, I scrapbook. I stamp."

Me: "What is that? What is this? Har har har."

Okay, so that's not exactly how it went down but that's the gist of it more or less. Me, being ignorant and all, made fun of her and all her "stash". I reckon she's pretty proud of the stash I've accumulated now! :) ❤ you, Pea! I'm so happy to have one of my best friends on our Design Team! I think you will come to be inspired by her as much as I have!

Hi there! Pearl here to share a layout made using So Breezy set. First, let me say this set is truly perfect for both card-making and scrapbooking. Here's a layout created to highlight and store my wooden heart magnet wedding favors.

As you can see, the awesome open sentiments from the So Breezy set are perfect for any layout. Since I wanted to create a rather light airy layout to match the sky in the photo and clouds on the pattern paper, the open letters of the sentiments were perfect. I used gold embossing powder for the sentiments and the kites to give it a clean and light metallic touch to match the details of my wedding day.

One of my favorite ways of keeping a layout rather clean and simple is to layer elements in pockets or envelopes. Here, I tucked away my wedding favors in a long policy envelope. To hold the envelope, I used foam tape to raise the mat leaving a cavity that would allow the envelope to slide through.

It's a clean and simple way of storing memories and providing an interactive layout. If you're a card making scrapbooker like me, make sure you get your hands on these super versatile Mama Elephant stamps. They really are perfect for all kinds of paper crafting projects!
