Hello Snow!

 Hello everyone!

Nathalie here with a new project all about winter.   We are still amazed that Toronto got so much snow at once in the first week of December. We all love the fluffy white stuff, but nobody loves it as much as my baby (our Boston Terrier -Poochie-).  So i set out to document his glee using the Frosty Flakes, and the Wintry Mix cut files.

The Frosty Flakes cut file was perfect to create a background for the layout.  Since the layout's mat is patterned paper (not my usual white card stock),  i cut the background on white card stock, and backed the center of each snowflake with vellum.

For the title, one of the images from the Wintry Mix cut file, "Hello Snow", was cut on white cardstock.  I simply used my Cameo to perforate the edges of the image, and added an offset to the image (that gives that little white space around the image).  A little bit of metallic watercolor, and hand stitching complete the title.

Here are  few more close ups of the layout:

Don't forget to check the store for these and more cut files (there is always new releases available).   Whenever you use any of the store products, do not forget to use the tag @thecutshoppe when you share it on social media (we love Instagram).  Use the hash tag " #tcscutitout "  to enter your project in the month's Cut It Out challenge.  At the end of the month, one lucky entry will win a gift certificate to the store.

Remember, i am always a comment away, if you have any questions.

Thanks for visiting today!

Snow Day

Hello! Jennifer here to share a layout I created using some of the new fun cut files from the shop!  I instantly fell in love with the Frosty Flakes cut file and couldn't wait to use it on a page!   It is simply gorgeous and perfect for this time of year!  

For my title, I used silver gold foil and a title from the Bits and Baubles cut file.  I layered my letters over journaling cards from the Joyful collection. 

I layered more journaling cards and cut out labels from Joyful to jot down details about my photo.

Using the Frosty Flakes cut file as my background, I  added some spray mist and a mask from Studio Calico on the edges of my page.  I also added in some wood veneer trees and snowflakes from my stash!

To add a little more bling, I adhered some sequins as well as added enamel dots to the outside edges of the cut file.

Be sure to check out all of the fun holiday cut files to use on your projects!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Frosty Flakes: by AImee

Hey there, Aimee here sharing a layout using the new “FrostyFlakes” cut file.

 

I just love how it’s a bunch of snowflakes that make up 1 BIG snowflake. When I went to cut it I knew it was gonna be one of those files that takes awhile, and if it doesn’t come out you get super disappointed and discouraged to cut it again. So I made sure I slowed down my Silhouette Cameo and did a double cut! Let me tell you it cut beautifully!

 

I decided to use the Merry & Bright Collection from Pretty Little Studio. How about those vellum snowflake stickers that I stuck underneath the die cut. I love how they pop out from behind the die cut and add color. 

 

This photo is from last year. We always go and visit the giant snowman that the city of Sierra Madre builds. The community goes up into the mountains, gather snow, and build a snowman a few days before Christmas. 

 

Kevin and I started this tradition a few years ago, around the 23^rd of December we go to see the snowman in the town square, get some Starbucks, and then look at Christmas lights. You can tell from this photo it wasn’t very cold last year since Kevin is in shorts and we both have flip flops on. 

 

I can’t wait to go this year and get our annual photo!

 

What traditions do you have?
