So Fun | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends!

It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a pretty layout using the gorgeous Dainty Doily cut file. I was totally inspired to use this cut file because of the Ferris wheel photo! I teamed with the Crate Paper Carousel collection and I love how it turned out!

The Dainty Doily cut file

I cut the cut file out from white cardstock as I knew that I was going to back it with a bright coloured paper. Once I had backed it, I machine stitched around the main circle to add texture and detail. I then added craft foam underneath to adhere it down to the background patterned paper, creating shadows and dimension. I then took some of the scallop stickers and added those tucked in around the perimeter to enhance the scallop design.  

In the centre of the Dainty Doily cut file, I added a chipboard Ferris wheel and then placed my photo to the left of the centre. I added a few phrase embellishments to my photo that were suitable for the photo and also used some of the packaging under the photo to repeat the scallop design. I also added some embellishments to the top of the page to create a sense of movement.

 

My title was made up of the chipboard stickers from the Carousel collection and I added many other embellishments including puffy stickers, die-cuts, enamel dots and clear stickers to decorate my page and tell the story. Lastly I added the date stamp of the day I took the photo.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by The Cut Shoppe blog today!

Happy creating!

Lovely Heart | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends,

It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the super pretty Dainty Doily cut file.  

The Dainty Doily cut file

I decided to cut the file out from the pretty colourful paper from the Chasing Dreams collection by Crate Paper. I love how all the colours turned out in the design. I machine stitched it around the very edge of the circle onto the background paper and then folded up the scallops for some definition.    

I popped up my photo onto some foam tape and added a pretty paper doily under the right hand side. I then adhered it to the centre of the Dainty Doily design. 

I added some nice embellishments around my photo and chose the title Lovely Heart. I picked out the Happy Heart phrase sticker and placed it in the centre of the Heart chipboard word. A few splatters of gold Heidi Shine and my layout was done.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Soak up the Sun | Erica Thompson

Hey everyone!  Erica here with you today to share a new layout using the Dainty Doily cut file!

The Dainty Doily cut file is so fun to work with and I had a lot of fun backing it with pretty papers from my stash kit!  Once again I used some older papers from Simple Stories and Pink Paislee!  I decided to try something different and cut the doily in half after I had all the pieces backed.  I was a little nervous about cutting it but it turned out perfect!  Thank goodness for a nice sharp paper cutter!

I added a few layers behind my photo and used a lot of embellishments from Fancy Pants Designs Hello Sunshine collection.

To make it a little faster to back the files I pulled out some of my circle punches to cut out the papers I used.  This saved me a lot of time and also helped use up some smaller scraps I had.  

The photo is of my niece Mia enjoying some sun and pool time!  I thought this was the perfect photo to use the Dainty Doily cut file!  The circle shape of her pink floatie just reminded me of the shape of the cut file!  Here is a look at my completed layout!  

The possibilities are endless with this file!  I would love to see what you create with the Dainty Doily cut file!  You can grab it HERE in The Cut Shoppe!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Make sure to follow The Cut Shoppe on Facebook and Instagram to say up to date on all the new cut file releases, sales and Freebies!  

New Cut Files | Love Out Loud

This week, there are four new awesome background cut files available in the Shop!  I love background designs, because they can be used in so many different ways.  I couldn't resist the Dainty Doily cut file...because we all know how much I love circles!!

I cut the design from White card stock.  Then I cut 5 varying sized circles from patterned papers in the Good Vibes collection from Crate Paper.  I placed a different circle behind each section of the doily cut file, to bring in a lot of pattern.  Before adding the cut file to my background paper, I machine stitched around the circle.

Choosing a background paper was a little challenging.  I didn't want to use White card stock and have the cut file blend into the background and I didn't want to use a patterned paper, because it would have overwhelmed the papers backing the cut file.  So I decided to go with a solid card stock background, which is something I haven't done in a while.  The color I chose coordinately perfectly with the Good Vibes collection, so it all worked out!

I clustered my title and embellishments around the photo, to draw attention to the photo area.  And I felt like the layout needed some flowers, so I fussy cut a few from one of the Good Vibes patterned papers.  I placed them along the side of the photo to create interest and dimension.

If you're looking for some great background cut files, right now is the perfect time to head over to the shop.  You'll find these 4 new designs, along with many more unique cut files for your projects!!
