Jumbo Circle Layout Tutorial
If you’ve been looking for a fun way to use the Creative Memories Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern, this project is perfect! I’ve had several customers order the Jumbo Circle recently, so I thought it was the right time to share another layout that puts this tool to work. This design is easy, beginner-friendly, and a fantastic way to use up leftover paper scraps from other projects.
The concept is simple: you’ll cut strips of designer paper and layer them across the center of your base page. Then, cut a large circle from cardstock using the Jumbo Circle Pattern and place it on top to create a bold frame effect. The circle pulls the eye toward your photos while the layered paper strips add color and texture.
Why You’ll Love This Layout
- Uses up scraps – Perfect for leftover designer paper, cardstock strips, or borders.
- Works with any collection – Swap out papers to fit birthdays, holidays, travel, or everyday photos.
- Showcases tools – Try border punches, decorative trimmer blades, laser-cut borders, or stickers on your paper strips.
This layout is a great reminder that sometimes the simplest techniques can create the most eye-catching pages.
My Sample Layout: Party Time Collection
For my sample, I used the (retired) Creative Memories Party Time Collection. The bright colors and playful patterns were perfect for birthday photos, but you could just as easily adapt this idea with a seasonal collection or even tone-on-tone cardstock for a more subtle look.
Try This Jumbo Circle Layout Yourself
