Beach Bubbles | Sassy Circles Cut File & Snapshots Collection

Hi Cut Shoppe fans!  It's Ashley, and I am excited to share my newest layout with you today!  It uses the new Sassy Circles cut file, which is a cut and fold design, and also the new Snapshots Digital/Printable Scrapbook collection, that I designed!  Having a digital/printable collection is great, because you never run out of your favorites, which means you don't have to hoard your supplies!!  If you use a piece of the collection, and decide you want to use it later on another layout or project, then you can just print it again!  Here's what I created with the collection and the Sassy Circles cut & fold cut file.

I knew the Sassy Circles cut file would be perfect with my photo, which is of my daughter blowing bubbles at the beach.  I re-designed the cut file a bit in Silhouette Studio, to create a different background look, making the circles larger and using less than what are in the original cut file.  I have a Process Video to go along with the layout, showing how I opened and traced the Sassy Circles cut file in Silhouette Studio.  Important Note:  Leave the High Pass Filter box checked, when working with this cut file.

I had fun finding the perfect embellishments to go along with the Snapshots Collection.  Elle's Studio wood veneers, a flair button from A Flair for Buttons and a paper clip arrow from Freckled Fawn were perfect complements to the collection.

I'm pretty sure one of my favorite things from the Snapshots collection is that cute Love tag.  I've got lots of love for the love tag!!  And I really like the pops of color from the collection, with the White on White look.  But at the end of the layout, I wanted to break that up a bit and add some contrast, so I splatted Black Color Shine over the layout in a diagonal.  I think it needed just a touch of mixed media to complete the layout.

Before I go, I've got a couple of other things to share with you!  If you stop by The Cut Shoppe to pick up the Sassy Circles cut file, make sure you check out the other new sets that are now available!

And did you know, this Saturday is National Scrapbook Day!  What's better than a whole day set aside to celebrate scrapbooking??!!  We'll have some fun things going on at The Cut Shoppe, so make sure you visit the Blog on Saturday!

Thanks for stopping by today, and take time to visit the Blog everyday, for amazing inspiration from The Cut Shoppe Design Team!

The Sweet Life

Hello! Jennifer here today to share a layout I created using two of the new cut files available in The Cut Shoppe on Etsy!  Ampersands are so "in" right now and the "And Love" cut file is so adorable! I love the added heart shapes!

I used white cardstock for my cut file as well as backed it against patterned paper. I still love the white on white look!  

Also new in the shop is the "A Way With Words" cut file! You have 13 words to choose from! Again, I used white cardstock to cut my words and then misted with a light blue spray ink.  

I also added smaller embellishments such as enamel dots, brads, and stickers!

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to check out all of the new cut files as well as the Snapshots Digital/Printable collection!  Have a great day!  

To Live

Good morning, Laura sharing with you today. I needed a title page for my Costa Rica album and this giant sentiment from Quick Quotes is just perfect. I cut it out of black card stock and pop dotted it up to give prominence to the quote. The photo is one I took from the airplane window and I just love all the arrows on the paper that point to it. Who needs a ton of embellishment when you have such a statement piece as this one? I simply added a few wood bits, some spatters and string for texture, a compass, a plane, and a fun pop of color in the flair. It was truly scrapping done easy.

Be sure to stop by the shop to add some pizzaz to your next story.

Don’t you just love when a cut file matches your photo?

And Love Cut File

Aimee here to share just that!

I used the And Love cut file and 

Pinkfresh Studios Felicity to create this layout.

It just amazes me when a collection works so well for you. I normally tend to mix and match companies and collections, but man PinkfreshStudio just nailed it with the Felicity collection.

I cut the giant ampersand from a 12x12 piece of paper from the Felicity collection. I was so torn on what side I should use, the bright pink or the cute little hearts on the backside.

Well obviously I went with the pink, but managed to scrap a small piece of the hearts and included it in my layout.

I used the stripe piece from the 6x6 paper pack and some of the cardstock die cuts to layer my photo.

And don’t forget the AWESOME puffy sequinstickers and color block wood veneer!

Do you love ampersands as much as I do?
