Frames in a Grid | Kelly Janes

Hey friends! Kelly back with you today sharing a new layout using The Picture Perfect Cut File.

A grid design is my favorite type of scrapbook layout. They just always seem to come together so quickly! I cut four of the same image from The Picture Perfect Cut File. I used the "mirror" feature in Cricut Design Space to flip 2 of the frames just to give a slight variance between the images. I then tucked my photo under one of the frames and embellished the remaining.

I added a yellow watercolor paint behind the frames to break up the white cardstock background. I wanted the layout to have a whimsical feel since I was documenting one of my son's school pictures, so I used multiple embellishments from various Amy Tangerine Collections and other items from my stash.

Now you can take a look at how my layout came together!

Remember to visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store to check out all of the cut files and digital collections! Thanks so much for spending part of your day with me and I will be back again soon!!

Framing It! | Elsie Robinson

Hey friends, it's Elsie here! I had a bit of a tidy-up in my craft room last week, and as I was sorting through some of my paper stash I realised I had a lot of woodgrain patterned papers, like... a lot! I knew I loved woodgrain papers, but I didn't quite realise how much - haha! So I set them aside to use on my next TCS project.

I've had this gallery wall layout idea in my mind for quite a while, but have never gotten around to making it for one reason or another. But with my pile of newly-found woodgrain patterned papers and the Gallery Wall and Picture Perfect cut file sets, I finally got around to making this page! 

I started by arranging the frames in my Silhouette software to plan the design I wanted for my page. This streamlined my whole process, because I could cut the frames out in one go, rather than "winging it" and being left with frames that aren't sized correctly and wasting my beloved woodgrain patterns!

Before I backed each frame I realised that I wanted some white borders on he inside of the frames as this helped all of the patterns stand out. You could do this on your cutting machine, but I traced the outline of the frame and cut them with some scissors, which wasn't too difficult to do.

This design is a great way to show off lots of your favourite designs and colours of patterned papers, in a very neat and tidy way! 

And since this was the first layout I made with the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Flourish collection, I was like a kid in a candy store and wanted to use everything, so this design was perfect to use a lot of patterns in one go!

There really wasn't much more to add to this page because the beautiful cut files made this page come together so effortlessly. But I popped each frame up onto some foam and used a white brick patterned paper as my background (also from the Flourish collection).

I love the combination of the brick and woodgrain frames, as it adds a lot of texture and kind of creates a realistic look!

This page turned out so much better than I thought it could and I really love it! So much so that this gallery wall layout is currently hanging on the gallery wall in my craft room... so meta! ;) 

Thanks for stopping by everyone, I hope your inspired to use some of the frame cut files available in the store!

Chill Out with Jennifer

Hi Everybody,

this is Jennifer with a new layout for The Cut Shoppe.

For this one I worked with the Stuck On You cutfile

and the Picture Perfect cutfile.

For this layout I decided on a diagonal design. So I spread out the succulents and frames from the bottom left to the top right of my 12x12 paper. I backed one of the frames with my chosen picture and the rest of the cutfiles with patterened paper.

For embellishing I mostly worked with flat and chipboard stickers.

I kept the background pretty simple and only added a few sprinkles of pink, yellow und gold spray ink.

That's it for today! I wish you all Happy Holidays and a great start into the New Year!

xoxo

Happy Heart

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a page using the fun frames from the Picture Perfect cut file!

I started the layout by choosing the frame as I wanted the focal point. Next, I cut out that frame and two identical ones to go at either side. I backed the two frames with patterned paper, and placed my photo behind the larger one. I used some mist with the packaging technique to create the mixed media background, and then placed my frames.  I added embellishments and a title to complete the look! I love how the frames look together. I'm going to use the frames in a grid arrangement for another layout! 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you feel inspired to use the Picture Perfect cut file!

Guest Designer | Kriszti Bozsits

Happy Monday everyone!  We've got a new Guest Designer to kick off some inspiration for this week.  Please help us welcome Kriszti Bozsits!

I'm a coffee addict. This page is created with my morning coffee. I used the Picture Perfect and The Cuppa Joe cut files (Cuppa Joe is one of my most favorite cut files I have ever laid eyes on). I decided to use My Mind's Eye On trend dots paper, Pink Paislee Fancy Free and Jen Hadfields collections for this layout. I machine stitched a circle around the design.

What a gorgeous layout Kriszti!!  Love the fun layering and the large stitched circle with the polka dot background paper!  Thanks so much for guesting with us!  You can find more of Kriszti's gorgeous work on her Blog, PaperHeart.

 

 

What Stick?

Wow, it's hard to believe this is my last post here on the Cut Shoppe blog. It's Katrina sharing a layout with a couple of different cut files for you.

I started with the Picture Perfect cut file.  I had only seen this used as smaller frames, so I thought it would be fun to make one big frame out of one of them.  It was hard choosing, but this one was the only one that would fit my pictures!  LOL

Picture Perfect

Next, I wanted to create a title, but wasn't sure what I was going to use.  The Open Letter Alpha to the rescue!  I first traced all the letters I needed and then played around with the sizes.  I decided the i and c would look fun smaller than the rest.  Once I got everything sized the way I wanted, I welded it all together for a fun title.

So have fun resizing those cut files and making them work for your layouts!  I hope during my term I have inspired you to create something fun.  Feel free to visit my personal blog anytime-Paper, Scissors and Glue. I am sure I will still be using The Cut Shoppe cut files in my projects!

Music love

Hi crafty Ladies! It's Flóra here and today I am sharing a new layout. This time I used The Cut Shoppe Picture Perfect cut file. I love these frames so much!

I documented my niece with her flute teacher, who actually was mine, too. It's really heartwarming and nostalgic to see her doing the same thing like me. Although she is more enthusiastic, clever and diligent as I was ever in music. :-)

I wanted to use all of it so I kept the grid design like on the cut file image. I decided to use Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Shine collection for this layout. I cut out the frames with my Silhouette Cameo from colorful cardstocks what fits with the collection. 

I wanted to use also patterned paper so I clustered thin strips on the bottom of the page. Then I just added stickers, chipboards and ephemeras around the frames.

I hope you like my new page. You can find this and other awesome frame cut files in The Cut Shoppe Etsy store. 

Have a nice week!

#Throwback Thursday | 1 of Those Days

Welcome to Throwback Thursday, today on The Cut Shoppe Blog!  This week I decided to use the Picture Perfect cut file set on my layout.  My design was inspired by the fun frame wall that Paige Evans has in her daughter's room!  I cut all of the frames from different patterned papers included in the Crate Paper Wonder collection and used the frame wall as a jumping off point for my design.

There are four frames in the set, and I wanted five on my layout, so I cut the one on the bottom right hand corner twice.  I loved how the frames worked for my title, photo and embellishments.

I kept this layout clean & simple as far as Mixed Media goes...I didn't even add any Color Shine, if you can believe that!  So I decided to add a lot of interest and texture inside and layered over the frames, with chipboard, wood veneers, enamel dots, Flair Buttons and Bits.

And just a side note behind the photo - This was taken on our recent trip to Texas, and he was not having a good day.  The restaurant we tried, was a three hour affair, due to the fact they only took cash (which meant we had to leave and go to the ATM and then come back), the wait in line for a table, and the almost hour wait to get our food!  Needless to say, he was done by the time I took this photo!!

If you haven't had a chance to visit The Cut Shoppe lately, make sure you stop in to take a look at all of the available cut files!  And I'll be back next week with four new sets, that will be added to the Shop!
