Fall days | Sasha Biyanova

Hello, friends!

It's Sasha here today with you to share my new TN spreads. What can I say about? One walk, so many photos and a lot of inspiration from The Cut Shoppe! This is perfect combination!

I used Falling for you traveler's notebook decorative page for my first spread.

I wanted to tell the story about the first leaves which began to fall down at the beginning of September.

I cut phrase on the background and used small pieces of scrapbook paper behind the background. I really loved the result.

 And even my son was surprised to leaves. However, he is surprised to everything now.

I used Finally Fall cut file for my second spread. "Feeling fallish" was the perfect title to my story so I decided to use it with this photo.

And also I loved the Fall banner! I think orange and blue colors were perfectly combined here. And these wrong words are so cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've been inspired by my TN spreads, and that you'll check out other designs at The Cut Shoppe!

Happy crafting!

Feeling Fallish | Erica Thompson

Happy October 1st!  I am so excited for this month and this new term with The Cut Shoppe!  October is my absolute favorite month of the year!  Today I am sharing a layout using the Finally Fall cut file!

I used the Feeling Fallish saying from this set and just love it to pieces!  I went into my stash and pulled out some Pretty Little Studio Oakley Avenue designed by Ashley Horton.  I also pulled some pieces from Clique Kits exclusive journal cards and the new Simple Stories Forever Fall collection.  I started with a white piece of American Crafts card stock, some Tim Holtz Distress Inks in lots of fall colors.  I added ink to my acrylic block, added some water and then dropped color all over.

I backed the cut file with the 4x6 pack of Oakley Avenue papers and one of the CK journal cards.  Both of these came in a past Clique Kit.  I love the fall colors in Oakley Avenue!

I used some Tombow foam squares to pop the cut file up to add some dimension to my layout.

I added a few layers of paper behind my photo of Mr. Eli James in the leaves. I used a lot of small stickers and die cuts to embellish around the photo and die cut!  I love all the fall leaves in the Forever Fall collection from Simple Stories.

Here is a look at the completed layout using the Finally Fall cut file !  I just love how it turned out and love how the orange in Eli's sweatshirt really pops and goes perfect with the colors in the layout!

Make sure to stop by The Cut Shoppe and check out the newest cut files perfect for all your fall projects!

Feeling Fallish | Donna Espiritu

Hello, lovelies! It's Donna here and it's my last post and project as a TCS Design Team member. I really had fun creating with Ashley's cut files and will miss sharing my works with all of you.

So, for my project, I made a scrapbook layout and I used one of the newest cut files set in the shop, 

Finally Fall Cut file

Since I don't have any paper or collection with a fall theme, I used a digital kit and printed off elements and papers to back the "fallish" word in the cut file.

Started by creating a textured background splattering a mixture of watercolors and spray mists over a stenciled white cardstock. I really like how the mixed brown, orange and yellow watercolors and mists look here.

Instead of using this leaf cut file as is, I separated them and made them look like trees behind the colored leaves.

I mounted the "feeling fallish" cut file with a foam tape for a bit of dimension since I used a white cardstock.

That's all from me today and I really hope this layout inspired you to make something today. Thank you so much for dropping by and see you around the scrapbooking land!

Happy crafting,

Hello Fall | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Cut Shoppe friends,

It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a Fall themed layout!

I used pieces from 2 different cut file sets to add to my layout today. I loved the Fall banner from the Feeling Fallish set and cut it out from the red paper in the Pretty Little Studio Oakley Avenue collection. I also used the top Autumn leaf from the Autumn Acres set and cut it out from the plaid paper from the same collection.

The Oakley Avenue collection by Pretty Little Studio was designed by Ashley Horton, the owner of The Cut Shoppe. Its a really cute collection for Fall projects and I love pulling it out to use. 

I love how the leaves turned out using the plaid paper! I machine stitched through them for some added texture and detail. I added some wood veneer leaves from my stash and I like how they blend in and add to the Fall theme.  

I love how the Fall banner looks in the red paper, it really pops off the page and makes a statement against the white paper. By adding the 'Hello' from the Oakley Avenue collection above it, it made the perfect title for my page! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

#Throwback Thursday | You + Me

When I'm working on a layout, I typically make my cut files a big focal point.  But since it's #TBT today, I thought I would do something a bit different.  I used the cut files in a more subtle way, because of the background technique, which was inspired by one of Paige Evans' layouts created for Big Picture Classes.  I used one of the leaves from the Feeling Fallish cut file set and the arrow from the Get to the Point background cut file.

I cut the leaf from the Pink Paislee wood grain paper, tucked it behind the photo and layered over it with a few embellishments.  And the arrows from the Get to the Point background cut file were perfect with the paper pieced background.  

There are so many ways to use the cut files from The Cut Shoppe, whether you're going big and bold or subtle and understated!  Stop by the shop to find just the right cut files for your projects!
