POW

Hello friends! Kelly here today with another layout and process video! Today's layout features the Hero Up Cut File in two ways!

I started by cutting the POW starburst on a scrap piece of paper and used it as a mask. With the mask in place, I sprayed my white cardstock with Gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine. Once the Color Shine was dry I added hand stitching and then cut the same starburst on a transparency. In the photo below you can really see the gold shine!

Next I added 2 small Instax photos. By printing the photos in a smaller format it helped hide the fact that they are dark, grainy, blurry phone photos. I added a cluster of embellishments that have been sitting in my stash for YEARS! Yay for using up product that has been collecting dust! There is a feeling of great accomplishment when that happens, right?! I also added messy stitching around the border of the layout for added texture and interest.

I've put together a video so you can see the process that also includes a Cricut Design Space Tutorial.

Don't forget to head to The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store to check out all the cut files that are available! Thanks for stopping by!

#Throwback Thursday | I Am Supa Fly

I love doing TBT, here on The Cut Shoppe Blog!  It gives me a chance to play with some of the cut files, that I may not have used yet, or ones that I haven't used in a while.  Today, I went way back to one of the first backgrounds that was added to the Shop when it first opened.  I wanted to use some acrylic paint with the I See Chevrons background, to create my own Ombre designed background!

I cut the I See Chevrons 12x12 cut file, from scrap cardstock and used it as a stencil for adding the acrylic paint.  I also used the Hero Up cut file set for part of my title and the Pow burst, added next to the photo.

 
If you would like to check out the way I used the I See Chevrons cut file for a stencil and added the acrylic paint in an Ombre look, make sure you check out my new Process Video!

New Year's Eve

For a few years now, we have had a sleep over with some friends of ours on New Year's Eve.  We bowl early in the evening then head back to or house for food, games and a cold drink.  Party hats are a must!

I used the Squared Away 8.5 x 11 background cut file  I removed the hearts and inserted the burst from the Hero Up cut file.  This was more appropriate for the New Year's celebration.  

Speaking of celebrations, parties and hats.... today is Ashley's Birthday!  Happy Happy Birthday to you!  To celebrate she is offering a one day only sale.  Use this code: FLASH40 to receive a whopping 40% discount!  So, click over to her ETSY SHOP, right HERE, to take advantage of this, pronto!

To close things, I wanted to show you which cut files I used on this project.

See you again really soon.

My Super Power..

Hi there everyone!!

It's Tarrah here with you today to share a layout 

that I created recently using some of the awesome cut files available in store! 

The files I used on this layout are:

 Hero Up

Tangled Web 12 x 12

Like Missy's layout a few days ago...I found it difficult to work with a collection that suited the theme of my layout, so I opted, like Missy, to keep it simple and used no patterned paper at all. 

All the colour you see here was created using a bitty bag, washi tape, journal spots, a peg and mist! 

'My Super Power'

I decided to cut the cut files in black for impact against the white background....by adding subtle colour here and there I feel it doesn't overcrowd my layout...

One of my favourite backgrounds is the Tangled Web cut file and I must be honest and say I  did cut it in 12 x 12 but I was a little intimidated by it so I ended up cutting it up into pieces for a more random web look...

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cut Shoppe blog today....have a great day!

Sarcasm is my Super Power

Hello everyone, Danielle here! I'm sharing a layout with you today with two of the new cut files that have been added to the store yesterday. For the Hero Up set I knew immediately what picture to use it with. During my last trip I found these PJ's and just for fun I had a pic taken. Now I'm really happy I did. Oh and I still regret not buying them... :-)

I also used a part of the Tiny Triangles background cut file to point to the picture. The papers and embellishments are from the We R Memory Keepers It Factor collection and I added some wood drop chevrons from Pinkfresh Studio.

This is the complete Hero Up cut file set.

And this is the Tiny Triangles 12x12 background

I can't wait to see what you'll create with these cut files, be sure to tag The Cut Shoppe on Facebook and Instagram so we can see your projects.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your weekend!
