December Daily® 2023 | Ali's Collage Of Squares Foundation Page Idea
Last night I was wanting to do a little clean up here in my office but I got distracted by a simple idea to use a 2 inch punch to create a bunch of squares that could be used as a foundation page in my
December Daily® project. I grabbed my 2x2 inch Passport Punch and got to work punching + gluing squares (using a glue stick - so easy) to a sheet of 8.5 inch x 11 inch piece of cardstock.
Here's a look at how this came together:
I used collage papers I've been creating over the last few months for my ornament project. I've shared a couple posts about that project already including my
and . I'm still working on making more ornaments and I'll share again when I have more completed.
For this simple foundation you could use pattern papers, scrap papers from your stash, or even cut up something such as Christmas cards or catalogs that come in the mail. Most likely I'll pair this foundation with a story about making all my collage ornaments this season.
After I punched, adhered and let it sit overnight I ended up trimming this down to 10 inches x 8 inches. When I use this to support my story in December I'll punch the holes (waiting to punch the holes gives me a little more freedom to make additional decisions during the month.
