3 Quater Designs February Design Team Share

I’m so excited to be sharing my first project using the Red Queen collection from 3Quarter Designs, and what a collection this is. 3Quarter Designs is such a fantastic Australian small business. The quality of their products is always outstanding – thick, beautifully printed papers, perfectly colour-matched elements and designs that feel thoughtful and unique. What I love just as much is the heart behind the company. The owners and designers are genuinely friendly, always willing to help, encourage and inspire the creative community, and that shines through in everything they produce.

From the moment I opened the Red Queen pack I was swept into a world of rich reds, dramatic blacks, touches of gold and the most magical storybook imagery. The Red Queen range is inspired by a journey of growth and strength, and it carries that sense of bold confidence through every sheet of paper and every embellishment.

For this layout I scrapped photos of Bronte in her gorgeous red formal dress, and I honestly could not have chosen a more perfect collection. The deep red of her dress echoes the theme of the Red Queen so beautifully, and the idea of growth and stepping into a new chapter felt so fitting for a Year 12 formal moment. She looked confident, strong and a little bit magical, which is exactly the vibe this collection gives.

The Red Queen collection is packed with creative possibilities. There are stunning 12x12 papers filled with roses, mushrooms, hearts and whimsical characters, along with coordinating cut-aparts, die-cuts and those brilliant 12-inch off-cut strips that include photo mats and extra elements. Having all of these pieces working together makes it so easy to build layers and tell a story on the page without having to search for anything extra.

    

I used one of the feature papers as my base and layered in the die-cuts, roses and whimsical elements to create a rich, storybook scene around the photos. The cut-aparts and off-cut strips were perfect for framing the images and adding those extra little details that make a layout feel complete. I love how the collection allows you to go bold and dramatic while still keeping the focus on the photos.

 

Working with Red Queen reminded me again why I adore 3Quarter Designs. Their collections are not just papers, they are stories waiting to be told. Whether you are scrapping everyday memories or milestone moments like this one, the range gives you everything you need to create something meaningful and beautiful.

I can’t wait to share more projects with this collection, but for now I hope you enjoy seeing how perfectly the Red Queen journey matched Bronte’s own special day.
