Delightful Day Together | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  It's Marsha, and I'm here with you today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook.  I used the Delightful cut file from The Cut Shoppe, and I think it is just delightful used as a large title on my page!

For my layout, I used the Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection, along with a few items from my stash.  To begin the spread, I sized the cut file to about 8" high, so it would fit in the TN.  I cut it out using a striped patterned paper from the collection.  I love how it looks layered over the dot grid paper!  Next, I trimmed the cut file to fit in the traveler's notebook, so a portion was on each side of the page.

I added my photo and embellished around it with ephemera pieces, acetate, and stickers.  I also added some stamping.

Next, I trimmed an acetate piece to fit inside of the letter "D"  and layered another acetate piece and a puffy foam sticker over it.

To complete the title, I used a puffy phrase sticker and another sticker from my stash.  I added the journaling, stamped the date, and added a few more acetate pieces to finish off the layout.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello!  Orange Gearle here with a layout using the "delightful" cut file. I used it as part of my title. Here is a look:

And here is a closer look at the file:

I cut the file first with white card stock. Then I used the Silhouette software to take out all the inside pieces, and recut it with the rainbow paper. This made backing the file super quick!

I used a lot of the Crate Paper All Heart collection for this layout. I added some ephemera and puffy stickers around the page. Here are a few close ups:

I loved using this file as a big title!  It made putting the rest of the layout together so easy! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!  See you again soon! Xo o.g.

Delightful | Iris Fox

Hello lovelies! Iris here with a sweet layout that I made about my mama.  One day we were looking through old photos and she told me she'd been a model for a photographer.  I hadn't known that and thought it was so cool!  So I'd scanned the photo and had been hanging onto it until I found the perfect products to scrap it with.  And then along came the DELIGHTFUL cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I cut it about 8x9, to have a great big title to back with all the pretty papers (which are from the Felicity Jane "Megan" kit). My mom's photo is 4x6, so everything together fills the canvas nicely.

I backed the cut file first with vellum to soften the prints, then distributed the patterned papers so that lighter and darker ones alternated.  Before I adhered it to the background I did a little mixed media - gesso, watercolor in a light pink, and some warm grey splatters.

I clustered embellies in a few key areas to move the eye diagonally - at the top where the D is, since it's a solid letter with lots of white space; where the cut file overlaps the photo in the middle; and at the bottom right corner of the photo.  The way the L ends under the photo and the embellishments are across from it gave me a natural place to put my journaling, which I did also in a warm grey.  I wanted to keep everything on this layout soft.

The pastels, butterflies, and all the vellum touches were just so delightful, I knew I wanted to use them with the DELIGHTFUL cut file!! ;)

Go visit The Cut Shoppe to snag this file.  I can see it being versatile with lots of different color ways and patterns.

And if you'd like to see how I put this together, visit my Youtube channel.

Lots of love,

NEW CUT FILES | Delightful

It's time for NEW Cut Files in The Cut Shoppe store!  We're ready for all things Summer, so today's designs are great for any summer themed projects.  I used the NEW Delightful Cut File for a large title on a layout in my Traveler's Notebook.  I always love backing large titles with my favorite patterned papers!

Since I was using a photo from the pool, I wanted to use the Crate Paper Sunny Days collection by Maggie Holmes.  I started by cutting down one of the 12x12 patterned papers to fit my Traveler's Notebook, for the background.  Then I cut the design from White cardstock.  I used different patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad to back each letter in the title.

Once I finished backing all of the letters, I placed the cut file on my TN page to see where I needed to cut it.  I made a mark at the top and bottom of the cut file and then used my paper trimmer to cut it.  This way, you know it will match back up perfectly when you add it to your TN page.

I kept my embellishments contained to two clusters, because I was using the smaller TN format.  I used most of them around my photo and placed the second cluster near the "D".  I really like the diagonal look of the two embellishment clusters with the large title in the center of the page.

Make sure you visit The Cut Shoppe store to grab out 4 NEW designs!!  There are also a lot more summer themed cut files in the store, so don't forget to check them out while you're there!
