Add depth to your scrapbook pages by using foam tape, chipboard, or layered embellishments. This creates a 3D effect and makes your layout more dynamic.

Group ephemera and add foam strips for height behind the pieces. Layer with stickers and top with sequins. Add a cut file, paint splashes and more.

Use a Colour Palette

Choose a consistent colour scheme to tie your page together. Pull colours from your photos for a cohesive and polished look. Choose one colour for a monochromatic scheme or match your embellishments to your papers.

Mix Textures
