ARToptions Rouge Ultimate Page Kit - Level up pages

Hello everyone

I am showing you today how I created the four layouts of the "ARToptions Rouge Ultimate Page Kit" then did what we call "Level up" the layouts with left over laser cuts and chipboard pieces as the kit is jammed packed and even created a fifth layout adding rubons and washi tape stickers added.

These are the images of the amazing kit layouts which are just perfect but if you have some rubons etc why not add them.

These are all of the chipboard and laser cut pieces still left over after completing the four layouts.

Layout 1

I have added washi tape stickers along with the left over foliage laser cuts. The little washi clips I have first stuck onto an acetate piece then cut them out to be more like a laser cut piece.

Layout 2

I have added a Sentiments rub on transfer to the top of the page as a large title. Also added are some more rub ons from the 12x12 pack like the flower that I have cut in half and added one piece above the layering and one piece at the bottom.

Layout 3

I have machine sewn around the edges of this layout to mimic the already printed sewing then added some of the chipboard pieces and a Salsa filmstrip piece.

Layout 4

I have used one of the large floral pieces from the 12x12 rub on transfers pack and cut it in half, adding one large piece to the top and the other to the bottom of the page. Then added some of the greenery foliage rub ons under the chipboard piece plus some of the photo corners and other laser cut bits.

To create this extra layout I have started with the "Tender Moments" 12x12 paper then fussy cut one of the panels from the reverse of the Page Kit front cover. Layering different pieces and tickets along with using the little green chipboard frame as a hanging picture with two photograph spots behind the whitewashed and polaroid frames.
I have used the flowers and added foam tape behind them to add dimension in the top left corner then added another Sentiments rub on as a title with washi tape stickers and floral rub ons.

Adore You - 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge

Hello everyone and welcome to the blog today. I am sharing this layout of my gorgeous grand daughter being the little cherub that she is. When I saw the NEW ARToptions Rouge collection I knew it was perfect for these photographs.

I have started with .......... 12x12 paper and instead of cutting off the barcode strip I have left it on the bottom and trimmed the top off to make it 12 inches. Machine stitching around the edge gives it a frame feel.

I have then used a piece of the 6x8 paper pack to frame the photo and stitched around the edges of the pic as well as using another sheet of patterened paper to add under the photograph, distressing the edges. Using the 12x12 Sentiments rub on pack I have added the title of the page "Adore You" then layered some more of the rub on's .

There is a whole sheet of fussy cut elements on the reverse of the cover sheet so I have cut some of the leaves and flowers out. I have also added some of the washi tape stickers and rub ons to white cardstock and fussy cut them out as well to give more dimension and elements to the page.

The advertising strip on the bottom of the 12x12 patterned paper pack that shows all of the designs has also been used, which I have machine sewn to make it look like patchwork quilting.

Laser cuts from Holiday Wishes, Plum Grove and Curators Meadow ranges have been used like the iron gate, love heart and red lace. To add some more elements to my page I have added some Rouge Fabric tape plus washi tape stickets and Color Swatch Blossom tickets. Finishing off my page I have also used Natures Bounty new flowers in "Taffy"
