Expreso Yourself by Caroli Schulz

Hello there!! Caroli here, and today I want to share this layout I made using fabulous Espresso Yourself cut file.

I love coffee, its smell and its delicious taste, so when I saw this cut file I knew I had to make something with it to document my love for it. 

I still had some leftovers of Cream & Sugar collection from Doodlebug design, this was one of my fave collection last year and used almost all of it, but it was just perfect for the subject of my layout, so I had to figure out how to make the best use of the tiny scraps I had. 

For this reason (and since I almost had no embellies of this collection) I decided to use the big title as main embellishment of my page, and loved the result! 

As you can see, I backed the title and also I cut some of the letters in patterned paper and adhered them over the cut file using some foam dots, with a nice volumen effect. 

I also used my sewing machine to stitch some of the letters too, love this effect and use it often.

Since most of the elements in this layout are on left side, I wrote my journaling on the right side, just to keep the balance of the design. I journal about how I love coffee and evrything coffee related, this was the perfect cutfile for this purpose!

I love this layout,it documents something that makes me happy, and it looks pretty as well.  I hope you liked it as well and got inspired to work on your scrapbooks, thank you for stopping by, have a great weekend!

Adventure Awaits

Hello everyone!

Nathalie here sharing a new layout  for the Cut Shoppe featuring two cut files, the new Brush Up Alpha, and the Arrows with Attitude cut files.

I started this layout by sketching some circles in the center of the page, and welded the Brush Up Alpha around the outer circle to create the title.  I used the sketch pens to draw the designs, and use a piercing tool to create the stitching guide on the page.  I used a few hours of Netflix to complete the stitched design.

To bring attention to the picture, I played around with the Arrows with Attitude cut file to create the cut-outs in this page.  I am using the new Bella Blvd.  Alex Collection to back the cut-out arrows.

To complete the layout, I added a few details around the picture, and my journal lines below the picture.   I really like the final look of this layout, and I hope you draw some inspiration from it.

Thank you for visiting the blog today, and don't forget to check the Cut Shoppe Etsy Store to find these, and the new cut files that were just released -they are beautiful-.

See you all soon!
