Happiness | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  Marsha here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the Hexagon Heart cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Heart cut files are my favorite ones to use on layouts.  When I saw this geometric heart, I couldn't resist using it in a big way on my spread.

For this layout, I used mainly the Pinkfresh Studio Joyful Day collection.  I began the page by using my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the file using white cardstock.  I backed the cut file with some pink striped patterned paper from my stash. 

Next, I layered some patterned paper behind my photo, and added some ephemera pieces and puffy stickers around the photo.  I also fussy cut a few elements from the patterned papers in this collection and added them to the page.  A large "happiness" puffy sticker serves as my title.

I added a small embellishment cluster at the top of the other page, using more ephemera pieces and puffy stickers.  How cute is that little pinwheel?!?  I wish there had been more of those in the pack!

At this point, I felt like the page was missing something, so I tore the background paper in two spots and added some patterned paper behind the torn areas.  To finish off the spread, I splattered some white acrylic paint.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will try using a large cut file on your next project!

New Cut Files | Good Times

It's my favorite day at The Cut Shoppe...NEW CUT FILE day!!  I had a hard time deciding which cut file I wanted to use on my layout for today, because I love all of them so much!  But I can never resist a heart shape, so I went with the Hexagon Heart design.

My initial thought, was to use cut the Hexagon Heart around the same size as my background and back the individual spaces with patterned paper.  But, I decided to change things up a bit and cut the design a bit smaller, to include more of them on the layout.  I cut 8 of the hearts from White card stock.  Then I used 6x6 patterned papers from the Pink Paislee Whimsical collection by Paige Evans, to back each of the hearts.  I staggered them on my background paper and then stitched down the center of each one.
 

I also thought that I wanted to cut the Hold My Heart cut file and use it for my title.  I did cut it from Black card stock and layered it over my background, but I felt like it was too much, so I decided to leave it off.  I really liked the simple look of the Hexagon Heart cut file in the background with the pops of color from the patterned papers.  

In the end, I decided it was best to add my photo to the one full heart on the layout, and cluster my embellishments around it.  I went with a small title, using the Good Times sticker from the Whimsical sticker sheet.  I wanted to add a bit more embellishing to the layout, without covering up the hearts, so I created two more clusters with some of the frame stickers.  I popped both of them up with some foam pieces and placed a flower ephemera piece in each one.  And for a finishing touch, I placed a few of the epoxy stickers around the page.

All of our NEW Designs today would work great for upcoming Valentine's Day projects, but I love that they work well for everyday layouts, too.  Make sure you head over to The Cut Shoppe Store to check out all four designs!
