Hello Summer Love

Hi everyone!  It's Gina here and I have a new layout to share with you today using the free Newsletter (Summer Love) cut file and the Bitty Borders cut file. 

Here's my layout:

I'm in love with that Summer Love cut file.  I knew right away when I saw it, that I just had to use it right away.  To create my layout, I actually cut the Summer Summer Summer Love title twice.  The first cut was the full title and then I trimmed off the bottom (love) piece.  The second cut I only cut the word "Love" from white cardstock paper.  I then placed the "Summer Summer Summer" title right above the love cut piece.  I placed my photo behind the love word.   To add color to my page I added watercolors on two of the Summer words and behind the title, before adhering down.  

The small circular hearts are from the Bitty Borders cut file, I simply ungrouped them and then cut them out individually and added watercolors to them.  To finish off my layout I added black spray mist, wood veneer pieces and machine stitching.

I hope this post has inspired you to try watercolors on a layout. It really adds a lot of color and interest!  Have a great day!

It will be best year ever!

Hello everyone! Magda here with a new mixed media layout. This time I used the Retro Rounded Corners cut file to create my background and the Bitty Borders cut file to decorate. To create my title I used : the Happy New Year cut file and the A to the Z cut file.

Hope you will like it! Enjoy! xoxo

Today's layout is a little preview of what you'll see during our Blog Hop with Paper Camellia, starting tomorrow!!  The Paper Camellia December Kit, is filled with some awesome products, including the Stitched collection from Amy Tangerine.  And The Cut Shoppe has 5 new Cut File sets that coordinate with the December Kit!  So today, I have a layout to share with you, using the Paper Camellia December Kit and the Put a Frame On It cut file and the Bitty Borders cut file.

I kept a simple color scheme on my layout, starting out with the Heidi Swapp patterned paper for my background.  I used a lot of Black and Gray, and added in touches of Yellow and Teal, using some of the patterned papers from the Kit and the Amy Tangerine Stitched rub-ons.  I added the Put a Frame On It cut file over my photo and stitched through some of the "X"s at the bottom of the frame.  And instead of using the full Bitty Borders cut file, I just cut a few of the plus signs from the border and added Black stitching to the inside of the shape.

Make sure you join us, starting tomorrow through December 23rd for some amazing inspiration and giveaways!  The Hop will begin on the Paper Camellia Blog!
