Seek Adventure | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends,

It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout with you featuring the stunning new Full Heart cut file!

The Full Heart cut file

This cut file design is one of those ones that you can take a busy paper and cut out a busy design with and still get an awesome look! I love cut file designs like this as the paper may have been one I would never use because of its busyness.

I cut the design out from a paper from Paige Evan's/Pink Paislee Horizon collection and I love how it turned out. I decided to adhere it to a plain white cardstock background to allow all the colours in the design to pop.

I layered some of the 6' x 8' papers under the photo as well as tucking in a few die-cuts for extra layers also. I also layered one of the title die cuts at the top of my photo as the words suited the girls and blended in with the colours in the photo. I kept other embellishments to a minimum as I wanted the cut file and the photo to be the main focus on my layout.

You can see lots of the detail of the Full Heart cut file design in the photo above. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Hello friends! It's Kylie with you all today, sharing my very first layout with The Cut Shoppe design team! I wanted to create a pastel themed layout today with lots of flowers.(My favourite!) For my background I simply couldn't go past the new Full Heart cut file. I immediately knew this would suit what I had in mind for my design!

I had a beautiful stash of the 'Oh My Heart' collection by Paige Evans with Pink Paislee just begging to be used. So I first cut my Full Heart cut file from white card stock to pretty much fill a 12 x 12 background page. It took some time but I filled each scalloped edge with 3 co-ordinating papers. I also tore a small piece from the top of my background page and distressed the edge a little before backing it with some bright contrasting paper.This just adds a little extra interest to your layout.

I chose to adhere my heart flat to my background paper so that I could add my photo and embellishments with some foam tape to give them extra height and dimension. A white marker was used to add a highlighted edge to each of my fussy cut flowers.

For balance, I added a second cluster of fussy cut blooms and die cuts to the opposite side of my heart. It was here that I also added my main title.

Once completed I loved the bursts of  pastel colours against my heart.

Thankyou so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope my layout has inspired you some way and you have fun creating your own masterpiece.

Until next time,
