It's a Wonderful day to be Alive | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year! Today I'm sharing an entry in my Journaling Bible using the Tall Titles cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

This cut file set is designed to use in standard size traveler's notebook inserts, but it's also the perfect size to add a large title in the margin of the Illustrated Faith Journaling Bible!

The verse that I wanted to journal on was Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." So when I found this awesome cut file from The Cut Shoppe, I knew that it would make the perfect title for this entry. I used the Felicity Jane Madison collection, and I decided to cut the title out of the woodgrain patterned paper from the kit.

Before I stuck my title down I added some subtle colour to the background using Vicki Boutin art crayons. I also did a little bit of stamping and then I embellished the page with some floral clusters that I fussy cut out of one of the Madison patterned papers. With such a large and eye catching title, I didn't need to add too many embellishments.

I added my journaling in the space on the right hand side of the page, and then I finished the entry off  by attaching a tab at the top of the page, along with another small floral cluster.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! If you're a bible journaler, I hope that I've inspired you to use some cut files in your bible as well! Make sure you go check out the section for traveler's notebook cut files in the shop, as these are a great size for bible journaling!

"Together" Traveler's Notebook Spread | Donna Espiritu

Hello, loves! Donna here to share my first project for August using some TCS cut files and printables.

I created a TN layout using items in the TCS Store perfect for Traveler's Notebooks.

I trimmed a bit of the TN Endless Summer printable and corned punched all 4 sides.

"Endless Summer" Traveler's Notebook Printable 

"Tall Titles" cut file

I used 2 of the printables in the set to back the title and cover cut files.

Since I used a white cardstock to cut both cut files, I inked the edges with light green ink to make them more visible.

I also used one of the cover pages in this set

"Love Rules" Traveler's Notebook Decorative Cover Pages

I added a bit of texture and colors to the background by stamping and splattering spray mists since I used mostly light colored prints.

That's all from me today.

I hope this project inspired you to create something today.

Thanks for dropping by!

Happy crafting,

So Happy Together | Marsha Farris

Hello friends!  Marsha Farris here sharing my first project with you as the newest member of The Cut Shoppe Design Team!

I was so excited to create a spread in my ringed traveler's notebook album using the new Endless Summer Printable and the Tall Titles cut file that were both added to The Cut Shoppe earlier this week.

I opened the Endless Summer Printable in Photoshop and mirrored the Afternoon Rainbow Printable paper so the rainbow border would be the same on both sides of my spread.  I also removed the word "noted" that was a feature on the paper.  I cut out the Tall Titles word "together" using the Picnic Blanket Printable paper and backed it with graph paper, one of my favorite prints to use in my TN.

I adhered an acrylic heart and used some puffy letter stickers to finish off my title.

The photos I used were taken at my family's pond during our annual photo session.  It's always fun to capture some silly shots of my guys.

I used a variety of die cuts on my layout, adding foam to some of them for dimension.  I also added enamel dots, puffy stickers, and stamped the date and the "thankful" sentiment on a couple of the die cut pieces.

I have enjoyed sharing my first TCS project with you!  Thank you for stopping by today!

New Cut Files | Together Is the Best Place to Be

Hello, and happy NEW Cut File day!  We've got a great variety of designs, for you to choose from today!  Lately, we have been adding designs that work great in your Traveler's Notebooks, but could be used for other projects too.  So make sure you check out all of the cut files and our new Printable!  I combined the new Tall Titles cut file with the Endless Summer Printable, for a layout in my Traveler's Notebook.

When I sat down to work on this TN layout, I knew I wanted to use the Pickin' Flowers Printable paper for one side.  I thought about what would coordinate best with it, and went with the Simple & Sweet collection from Pinkfresh Studio. I used the Pickin' Flowers pattern on the right hand side of my layout, and went with White for the left hand side.  I wanted the left of the layout to be less busy, because I planned to use the Tall Titles cut file to create a large title, that could be backed with one of the patterned papers from Simple & Sweet.

Once I had the title finished, I placed my photo on the right side.  I printed it in Black & White to add a nice contrast.  Then I used some embellishments from the Simple & Sweet ephemera pack.  And I thought it would be fun to stamp a few sentiments on the ephemera labels, using the 2018 Summer of Sketches Stamp from Studio Calico.  I finished the layout with a few coordinating enamel dots, and a puffy sticker layered over my photo.

I hope you've been inspired with some ideas for using our newest cut files!  Make sure you visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy store to check them all out!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!
