Daddy Love and a Sad Good Bye...

Hi everyone!

It's Tarrah McLean back with you today and sadly, its my last time sharing my layouts here on The Cut Shoppe blog but its time to introduce some new members to the team for some fresh inspiration! These girls are super talented so watch out for their work!

Ashley has just included the gorgeous new 'All Heart Remix' cut file in the Cut Shoppe store so I jumped at the chance to use it on my final layout!

I cut the file out using white cardstock as I knew I wanted to back the hearts with different patterned papers. I played around for ages deciding which background cardstock I wanted to use, I pulled out American Crafts Black, Stone, Kraft and Smoke but finally decided I preferred just plain white!

I used the gorgeous American Crafts Amy Tangerine 'Stitched' collection for this layout...I still had some in my stash and I have been stash busting a bit so it was perfect to use! I find the 6 x 6 paper pads perfect to use for these times when using just little bits and pieces of paper!

I machine stitched through the hearts for added texture and to secure the layout. I used some Thickers for my title that I had in my stash however I didn't have a 'y' in this particular style so I improvised and made it with a 'u' and cut up the number '9' to use the tail of it! I am always doing this!

Thank you so much for joining me on the Cut Shoppe blog today and for all your lovely comments over the past few months...I hope I have inspired you in some way to use your Cut Shoppe files!

Happy creating, farewell for now.... 

Rescued & Loved

Hello there! I, Allie, can't even tell you how excited I am about the new Give a Dog a Bone cut file! We have a rescue dog that we are absolutely crazy about, so I couldn't wait to use the "Rescued & Loved" part of this cut file!

I got some sketch pens for Christmas that I hadn't broken into it yet, and I thought they would be perfect for this layout! 

I sketched the title multiple times to make it into a background. I then cut it out once and painted it with watercolor that matched the sketch pen. I then used pop dots to layer the cut file over one of the sketched designs. 

I love the look of the sketch pens mixed with the watercolored cut file! I'm super excited to use every bit of this cut file. I love any excuse to make a layout about my dog! Thank you for letting me share with you today!

You & Me

Hello and Happy Friday!  Gina here with you today and I have a layout using the brand new Sweet Hearts and Love Letters cut files!  I loved taking one of the hearts from the Sweet Hearts set and enlarging it to use on my layout.

To create my layout, I began by painting watercolors on a white cardstock background.  I also flicked white paint and gold spray mist across the page.  Next, I enlarged my heart and cut it out of white cardstock.  I backed a few of the open spaces with patterned papers.  Next, I cut out my title a small heart and a few + signs and added them to my page.  I added my photo and a few cardstock embellishments, thread and buttons.

Supplies: Sweet Hearts cut file, Love Letters cut file: The Cut Shoppe; cardstock, patterned papers, stickers : American Crafts; Other: paint, watercolors, spray mist

Make A Wish

Hi Everyone,

Gina here, and I am excited to share a new layout with you using the Sew Loved cut file.

To create my layout I took the Sew Loved cut file and opened it in my Silhouette Studio software program.  I used a copy + paste option to repeat the pattern several times and then cut the file from patterned paper.  I also used the same method to cut the pattern several times from white cardstock.

I used watercolor paints on several of the hearts, and then grouped them all behind my photo!

Embellishments: American Crafts

Gina here, and I'm excited to share a new layout with you using the Doo-Dads cut file.

Hi everyone,

Gina here, today is my first post for the new design team term and I am excited to share a new layout with you using the Lucky In Love cut file.

I used the Lucky in Love cut file to create my own background paper.  I placed the 12x12 file on my canvas in Silhouette Cameo and then selected sketch to use a black sketch pen to draw out the words.  Once the background was sketched out I used watercolors to fill in a couple of the words.  I also used my Silhouette to cut the Love word a couple of times from patterned paper and then attached them to the layout.  I added a few embellishments to help accentuate my page.

Hi You! & New Cut Files

I'm back today with the reveal of the newest Cut File sets in The Cut Shoppe!  I couldn't decide which set I wanted to use for my layout this week, so I decided to go with two sets, and used the Say Cheese cut file and the Doo-Dads cut file.

I really like the size versatility for both of these sets.  You can enlarge the cut files or keep them small, which is great for layering!  I used two of the frames from the Say Cheese cut file set...one large one around my photo and a smaller one on the left hand side of the photo.  And I mixed in several of the icons from the Doo-Dads cut file set, just to add a few fun elements to my layers!

Make sure you visit The Cut Shoppe today, to see what's new!  Here's a look at the four sets that are available in the Shop today!
