Add some amazing interest to your scrapbook layouts with the look and feel of another craft and that’s quilting. You can achieve this look in the way you lay out paper shapes, by adding real stitching or using dies that have a faux stitched edge. Quilted designs can work for a variety of occasions and themes like baby, wedding and vintage and in different styles from classic to modern. So today let’s cuddle up in some warm and cozy Quilted Scrapbook Layout ideas.
Below each photo you’ll find a link, click it for all the details including process videos, products used and techniques.
Phil cut floral pattern paper into squares and then cut them corner to corner to create triangles for his quilted background. He also tucked in lots of of flower die cuts with some dots and a gold foiled title around the photos. Learn more at the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
Eva die cut thin strips of pattern papers, placing them over white squares, then stitched them down around the edges to fill 3/4th of her layout background. Around the photos are a tied envelope, vellum leaves and several sentiments. Take a closer look at the Pinkfresh Studio blog.
Mellisa created a fantastic wide quilted border but cutting strips of pattern paper with 45 degree edges and forming rows of V’s, she added wavy borders along the edges to tie it together for a great poolside design. Find direction at the Creative Memories blog.
Overlapping squares and circles are filled with lots of photos on this amazing quilt like layout. The plaid and tiny floral pattern papers help with the fabric feel too. This idea uses template grids and dies that combine for a dynamic design that holds lots of pictures on one page. Find more info at the Mosaic Moments blog.
Although this isn’t a layout but an album cover it’s still a great quilt inspiration. Andrea created a starburst by cutting different colors of map pattern papers in thin triangles and stitching them all together as well as sewing around the edges. She added some stickers, foam shapes and dots for a dynamic album cover. Find more details at the Simple Stories blog.
Of course you’d want to use a quilt inspired motif to capture a love of sewing. Cindy followed a free digital scrapbook template as the base for her amazing digital design. You can get the sketch and see other ideas using it at the Kate Hadfield Designs blog.
This beautiful page from Jana uses a die that cuts a wide scalloped border with small holes to add your own stitching like tiny flowers and cross stitch. She also added sewing to the flower dies, used a pattern paper background that looks quilted as well as more scallops and some tied tags. Find all the info at the Jana Eubank blog.
Dorymar also followed a free sketch for her layout using die cut tickets in tiny prints with colorful rays of stitching in between to create a sunburst pattern on half the page. There’s also small scallops and tied tags which also lend to the fabric feel. Take a closer look and get the sketch at the Bella Blvd. blog.
Die cut, layered and stitched hexagons create an intricate quilted pattern on this fun boyish page from Allison. I love the blue and orange color combo she used, with touches of stars, perfect for a little boy layout. Take a closer peek at the Allison Davis blog.
As you can tell from this patriotic page from Traci you don’t even need real stitching to get that quilted look. Using small prints laid out in a quilt style pattern is enough to give you that feeling. Her starburst has a center circle with a row of small photos and lots of fun fire work embellishments. Find all the details at the Artsy Albums blog.
Simple grid layouts also can evoke that feel of a handmade quilt. Jayma cut coordinating pattern papers into squares, spacing them slightly apart on a white background, adding her photos, die cut butterflies and thick black stickers that pop over all the colors. Watch her process video at the Playing with Paper blog.
I hope you’ve been inspired to try adding the look and feel of quilting to your next scrapbook layout!
