Cute

Hi friends! It's Mandy here with you today and I'm sharing a layout using the super cute Hello Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe Etsy store! I loved this cut file as soon as I saw it and have been waiting for just the right layout to use it on! When I decided to scrap this cute photo of my youngest daughter, I knew that this cut file would be perfect!

I just love this photo of Eleanor playing dress-ups! This girl is as sweet as she is sassy! She's going to be one who stands out from the crowd!

This is the Hello Hearts cut file that I used...

  

I cut the hearts out of white cardstock and backed each heart with patterned papers from the Crate Paper Hello Love collection as well as the Paige Evans Fancy Free collection. I also added foam tape underneath the cut file to raise it up and give it some dimension.

Here are some closeups...

I created a little cluster in the top left hand corner of the layout using a Fancy Free chipboard sticker, a Prima flower, and a pink polka dot button.

Over the top of one of the hearts I added a black Charms Creations felt heart. I think the black helps to ground the bright colours and also balances out the black title and the stripes down the left hand hand side of the layout. I also popped a flair button from Accent Scrapbooking on top of the heart.

I added a couple of flowers on the right hand side of the photo, and then added my title and journaling underneath.

I finished my layout off with some stamped words and black ink splatters.

I really loved using the Hello Hearts cut file on this layout, and will definitely be using it again! If you love it too, head on over to The Cut Shoppe Etsy store to pick it up for yourself, and while you're there, check out the new cut files that were added to the store on Thursday!

Thanks for joining me here on the The Cut Shoppe blog today. I'll be sharing another layout for the Cut Shoppe later in the month on my blog!

XOXO

Hello everyone, Julie back with you today sharing a layout I did with the fab X to the O cut file.

I cut it out on white cardstock, just shy of 12x12 & mounted it onto that awesome blue marble paper by crate paper ‘hello love’ & then again mounted that onto black cardstock & sewed around the cut file. I choose to print off two photos, one in black & white & another in colour & added a photo mat of layers behind that, putting it towards the bottom right. I half embossed my wood veneers in a teal colour & finished the layout off with ephemera & chipboard pieces.

Thanks for stopping by today & I’ll see you next month xoxo

NOLA Selfies

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's almost Friday, and I hope you're looking forward to a little bit of crafting this weekend!  We've got some great new cut file sets that are available in The Cut Shoppe today, and I have a new layout to share with you, using the Hello Love 12x12 background cut file.

I decided that I only wanted to use a portion of the 12x12 cut file, so I released the compound path and deleted the last two rows of the cut file.  Then I regrouped everything, and rotated it just a bit to add a little tilt to the design.

I knew this would allow me to have a lot of the cut file on the layout, but still have some White space on the left hand side to add my photos and title.  Since I've been sick this week, I decided to go the quick and easy route and add a large striped patterned paper behind the cut file.  This gave me a multi-color look, without having to back each individual circle.  And I also used some acrylic paint to add a little color to some of the hearts.

You can find out more about this layout, by checking out the newest Process Video!
