Scraplifting preprinted paper into layered layout

There are many fantastic papers with embellishments preprinted onto them, this is a great time saver or for inspiration but I just love the tactile effect of layered layouts.
This paper was by Heidi Swapp called Favourite Things, and the layout was scrap-lifted from her design on the packaging.

To begin I usually prepare the background I want for the embellishments, I find sewing adds a lovely effect and quick to do on any machine or with stamps.
Next I carefully cut out the embellishments with a craft knife where possible, as this then allows you the use the waste as a template for positioning your cut outs.
When repositioning your embellishments on top of your layout use a variety of depths of foam pads, and even attach some flat with tape or glue.
If the the preprinted design has ribbon, buttons etc designed on then replace these with real ones for a fantastic page.
