Deeper In The Woods Playful & Polished Layout Guide (6-double page layouts)
Playful & Polished Cutting Guide: Elevate Your Outdoor Layout
Some memories deserve a little extra attention, and the Playful & Polished Cutting Guide is designed to help you give them just that. When you want your National Park or outdoor adventure photos to feel as special on the page as they did in the moment, this method adds the perfect balance of creativity and refinement.
With a strong foundation layout and a few specialty details—like layered borders, playful embellishments, or unique punches—you can transform a simple design into something that feels custom and elevated. It’s still easy enough to follow step by step, but the results have that polished “wow factor” you’ll love flipping back to again and again.
The Deeper in the Woods collection truly shines with this approach. Its rich greens, earthy textures, and scenic patterns give your pages depth and character, while the Playful & Polished method ensures the finished layout feels intentional, cohesive, and eye-catching.
