Current Mood Layout with Neftali

Welcome back TCS fans! It is Neftali with you today, back to share some more cut file inspiration. Haven’t you all been loving the cut files? I totally have and that is why I’ve recently been playing with the older ones. I just can’t let some of them pass me without playing with them, even though there are so many gorgeous one coming out twice a month. Today I am playing with the “Untamed Heart” cut file shown below.

This design seems like a classic staple cut file to me, and I was so excited to be able to finally have it in my hands! I decided to use up some more of my favorite Crate Paper collections to create this layout:

As you can see, it’s just a big ol’ mix of Crate Paper goodness on a page. I used the CP Good Vibes, CP Here + There, and CP Wild Thing papers and embellishments to create it.

I decided to use a fun photo of myself from last summer just acting silly for the camera. The collections have so many mixes of patterns and colors that I felt they went will with the mix of patterns I am also wearing.

To add a special and more feminine touch to my layout, I added two small doilies to back my photo. I feel like they add the perfect female touch to these bold colors all around.

I was also super excited to use some black splatters from a brand new black mist I just recently added to my collection. It’s also a staple, and it pops so well against this page.

As you can see, I had sort of a diagonal set up around my photo from the title at the top left of the heart to the pink flower and glitter thicker leaves and the bottom right.

To add a little something to my heart cut file, I also added a mini cluster to the top right of it with matching colors and textures.

My final detail was to rip my page and create that popular peek-a-boo embellishment with a thicker heart inside of it on the bottom right of my page. I also added some staples and went back around my heart to add a few more staples in two more areas.

That’s all I did to create this fun layout. I loved using my mix of Crate Paper stash and finally using a cutfile that I have seen be recreated in so many ways throughout the years. I’ve got one for my own books now!

So, have I inspired you to grab your favorite supplies and create something fun with the “Untamed Heart” cut file? I sure hope so! Thanks for stopping by, friends! x
