Slice

Hey there! It's Devra her with you today sharing this page I made using The X File. This is file that has been around for a while. I've never used it, but always wanted to. So here it is.

I love circles don't you? They are so easy to use on layouts. They make everything happy! This cut file has the added bonus of the X in the middle. I was thinking 'X marks the spot' kind of goes with my son's first time hitting golf balls with his Grandfather.  

Today I cut the file out of patterned paper. I decided to back only some of the circles. I didn't want it to look too busy. I like some of the open white space! I used a few embellishments to finish it off.  I love how this cut file is both background and embellishment too!

Thanks for stopping by today. You can find this and all the amazing cut files in The Cut Shoppe. We always want to see what you make, so share with us in our Facebook Group.  See you next time.

Adventure Awaits with Jennifer

Hello everyone,

this is Jennifer with a new project for The Cut Shoppe!

This layout took a while to put together - somehow every single one of my chosen products refused to cooperate. But I beat them into submission in the end. ;)

For this layout I combined The X File 12x12 cutfile and the Around & Around cutfile.

I stayed monochromatic with both cutfiles and background - I used black cardstock for the background, white cardstock for Around & Around and black and white striped patterned paper for The X File.

I backed the Around & Around circles with colorful paper. The other cutfile I used only partially because the stripes made it quite busy.

Here and there I added a few extra X File circles to the background. Together with the other circles it created a diagonal design.

I kept both my patterned paper and embellishments bright and colorful to counteract the dark background. I makes the layout bright and cheerful despite the stark black.

For my title I combined a big chipboard word with some alpha stickers. I used the packaging technique on the chipboard word to combine three of my main colors: yellow, pink and turquoise.

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

xoxo
