For grillaholics like me, the Fourth of July isn’t just a holiday—it’s a chance to show off my BBQ skills! And what’s the star of any cookout? Burgers, of course! Not just any burgers—I’m talking about juicy, stacked, and loaded with flavor. So naturally, when it came time to document my backyard BBQ memories, I knew I needed a scrapbook layout as bold and mouthwatering as the feast itself!

Whether you’re scrapbooking your 4th of July BBQ, summer cookouts, or just a great burger night, this layout is the perfect way to capture those grill-master moments. Let’s dive into the details and build this layout step by step!


🍔 Ingredients for This Sizzling Bistro Burger 4th of July BBQ Scrapbook Layout


Like any great burger, a scrapbook layout needs the perfect combination of ingredients to make it pop! Here’s what I used:


🖌️ Cardstock & Patterned Papers

✔ CTMH Enjoy the Ride patterned paper for the checkered print - Checkered center square




🎨 Add Depth & Flavor with Stampin’ Blends


Coloring my stamped images with Stampin’ Blends made all the difference! The realistic shading brought my burgers, fries, and toppings to life.









JET BLACK STĀZON PAD - For stamping images & inking edges


🍔 Pro Tip: Use Jet Black StazOn Ink to stamp your images—it’s perfect for crisp outlines and won’t smudge when you color!


✂️ Stamps, Dies & Tools

Building the Layout: Step-by-Step Guide


This layout is packed with layers, textures, and details that make it pop! Let’s break it down step by step:


1️⃣ Build the Background

Start with a 12x12 Country Woods DSP sheet in a dark woodgrain color—because what’s a cookout without a rustic picnic table?


2️⃣ Trim & Mat Your Photos

📸 Picture-Perfect Prep! 🖤 A crisp black mat makes photos pop, while trim strips add just the right touch of definition.
📸 Picture-Perfect Prep! 🖤

✔ Cut two 1/4” x 12” strips of black cardstock for trims.


✔ Cut two 4” x 6” black cardstock pieces for photo mats.


✔ Cut two 3-3/4” x 5-3/4” white Willow cardstock pieces for photo mats.


✔ Adhere the white photo mat to top of black mat and add your 3-1/2”x 4-1/2” photos.


3️⃣ Create the Checkered Tablecloth

🍔 Picnic-Perfect Plaid! 🍔 A little checkered charm goes a long way! Inking the edges with Jet Black StazOn adds just the right amount of contrast for a BBQ-inspired pop! 🔥✨

✔ Cut an 8.5” x 8.5” square from the checkered patterned paper.


✔ Ink the edges ever so slightly with black ink to add contrast and make it pop.


✔ Once the edges dry, adhere the checkered paper at an angle over the French fries & woodgrain background.


🏁 Pro Tip: The slight tilt of the checkered piece makes the layout feel dynamic and fun!t.



4️⃣ Create the Stamped Fry Background for Your 4th of July BBQ Layout 🍟

Stamp, Stack & Sizzle! 🔥 Creating a custom fry-patterned background with second-generation stamping!

✔ Ink up your fries stamp with Jet Black StazOn Ink and stamp it onto scratch paper first (this lightens the ink for a softer, more natural look).


✔ Without re-inking, stamp the fries onto your White Willow cardstock.


✔ Repeat this process until you’ve covered the entire paper, stamping the fries in an up-and-down pattern for a fun, dynamic effect.


💡 Pro Tip: Worried about placement? Test your pattern on a scrap piece of paper first to get a feel for spacing!


Funny Side Note: My “Well-Done” Fries Moment! 😂

One fry stamp came out extra crispy! 😆

I was so close to finishing this background when I forgot to stamp it off first. Whoopsie! 🍟🔥


Did I redo the whole thing? Nope! Because let’s be real—we’re not wasting good paper around here! Maybe someday I’ll fix it… but let’s be honest, probably not! LOL.


This just goes to show that scrapbooking is all about embracing the little imperfections!
