Jingle All The Way | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It's Tarrah McLean with you today to share a Christmas themed layout using the newsletter subscriber exclusive recent free cut file - Jingle All The Way! 

The newsletter free cut file - Jingle All The Way

I chose to just use the title for my layout today, I left off the baubles. I backed each word with a different Christmas patterned paper and then added craft foam underneath the whole title and adhered it down towards the bottom of my background paper.

I chose a small photo of my boys from Christmas Day last year and changed it to black and white to co-ordinate with the colours in the collection. I added a small piece of striped patterned paper underneath my photo and also added craft foam under the photo to pop it up off the page. I then added the white tree card beside my photo and added some enamel dots to the tree! 

I continued to embellish using some wood veneer pieces both layered on top of my photo and straight onto the background paper. The ampersand and Good Times together piece went perfectly right there in the centre of my title. I also added a couple of acrylic pieces like the star to the right of 'Jingle' and the present to the left of 'Jingle'.

If you aren't a subscriber to The Cut Shoppe newsletter, you need to be because otherwise you will miss out on some awesome free cut files only available to newsletter subscribers! I hope you enjoyed my layout today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy creating!

FREEBIE FRIYAY JANUARY | With Love

Happy Freebie Friyay friends!  It's our first one for 2019, and I had to use one of my favorite shapes for this one...hearts!  All of our FREE files are now available in the NEW STORE.  You can click the image below to visit the shop and download With Love.

I used the cut file with the newest collection from Pink Paislee, Whimsical designed by Paige Evans.  And I mixed in some alpha Thickers from a couple of other PP collections and Foam Thickers from Crate Paper to create a fun title inside the heart shape.

Merry Christmas with Joanna Bandelin

Hello friends! Joanna Bandelin here, I'm sharing a Christmas page with you today. Now that Christmas is over I've got loads of great photos to scrap and I'm sure you do too if you celebrate.  This is a photo of myself with my family Christmas morning before the madness of opening presents began. So here's some fun & bright inspiration for ya, I used 3 different cut files to create my look.

For my title is used The Tinsel Town cut file.

I fussy cut all the little winter characters and made little clusters near the bases of the trees.

I used The Trimming the Tree cut file for 2 of the trees.

And I also used the trees from the Branches & Boughs Freebie Friyay cut file. To finish my page I punched a label tag and stamped the date on it and I love using some Heidi Swapp gold color shine.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you were inspired to get those holidays photos documented..you'll be so glad you did! 

VERY MERRY FREEBIE FRIYAY | Snowed In

Can you believe that this is our last Freebie Friyay of 2018??!!  But don't worry, we'll still have our monthly Freebie Friyay for you on the first Friday of each month!  Today, we have a winter themed cut file set, called Snowed In.  Hopefully you've had some winter weather where ever you are, and if not this year, you probably have some photos from previous years to document.  We were so excited to have actual snow that accumulated last year, so I used one of the photos of the kids, that I snapped that day.

I cut one of the snow flakes from three patterned papers from the Crate Paper Snow and Cocoa collection.  Before adding them to my background, I machine stitched along each one.  Then I placed my photo in the center.  I also cut the winter image to use as part of my title.  I love that the polka dot paper gives a nice contrast over the lighter colored snowflakes.

Make sure you check out the link to download Snowed In!  And we love to see what you're creating with The Cut Shoppe cut files, so don't forget to tag us when you share on social media!

Chasing Dreams

Hello friends! It's Monique with you today to share the layout I created with The Cut Shoppe's Love Everlasting cut file. When I got started on my layout I knew I wanted to use the Chasing Dreams collection from Crate Paper and then I remembered this cut file of the butterfly I downloaded for free (!) from The Cut Shoppe's blog (May 12, 2016) and I just knew it would be perfect! Here's what I did:

And this is the FREE cut file I used: Love Everlasting

I totally adore the butterfly cut file and am so glad I thought of it! The fringe butterfly from the Chasing Dreams collection looks great adhered on top of it. 

Here are a few more close-ups of my layout:

If you love the Love Everlasting cut file too then I've got good news for you: it's still available for FREE! Just hop over to this blog post from May last year and follow the directions! 

Of course you can find lots of other fabulous cut files in The Cut Shoppe's Etsy Store!
