Poolside | Kelly Janes

Hey friends! Kelly back today with a new layout using an exclusive cut file that was available in the most recent Cut Shoppe Newsletter.

I started by cutting the Poolside Cut File on white cardstock. I then backed the words using different 6x6 patterned papers from the Fancy Pants Poolside Collection. I added machine stitching to the wreath portion of the cut file and hand-stitching around the words to help them stand out from the background.

I started by just adding white embroidery floss, but I didn't feel like the words stood out enough. So, I added pink embroidery floss on top of the white embroidery floss. That was a lot of hand-stitching, but I love the look!

I adhered the cut file to a pink patterned paper and added a mix of embellishments from the same scrapbook collection around the edges of the cut file. I tucked a few of the embellishments under the wreath portion and on top of the cut file for added dimension!
