Summer Pool Fun | Kelly Janes

Hey there friends! Kelly here today to share a new layout using the FREE Cool in the Pool Cut File.

I enlarged the cut file in Cricut Design Space and cut it on textured white cardstock. I then used a brayer to paint light blue acrylic paint on the white cardstock before removing the cut file from my cutting mat. Next I backed the cut file with different summer themed patterned papers. I added fun embellishments around the page..tucking them behind and layering them on top of the cut file.

This cut file is so fun and perfect for documenting your summer memories! Don't forget to visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store to check out all of the other fun summer cut files!

Cool In The Pool Layout | Elsie Robinson

Hey everyone, it's Elsie here! Did you know that The Cut Shoppe offers a free cut file every month, right here on the blog? I love a big, bold title and so this months cut file is one I just had to make a layout with! You can click this link to find the free 'Cool In The Pool' cut file.

For my layout, I oversized the cut file to make it stretch across the entire page, and I rotated it slightly which I find created a more balanced design, and I cut it from white cardstock.

I then backed each letter with a different patterned paper, to create a really colourful design. Also because these letters are so big they're the ideal spot to back with a photo.

To make the cut file stand out even more, I used a brick patterned paper as my background. I love how much of a statement this makes!

And finally I went a little crazy with a lot of pool/summer themed embellishments, because big title designs are ideal for stash-busting because you can create a lot of embellishment clusters.

I had so much fun making this page, so I hope you also are inspired to create a layout using this cut file!
