unforgettable you | orange gearle

Hi!  Orange Gearle here with a layout using an older photo of my daughter. Was she really that little?? Here is my layout:

I cut out The Untamed Heart cut file using my Silhouette Cameo and some white card stock. Here is a look at the cut file:

I grabbed my November Clique Kit and got busy backing the cut file with papers from Amy Tangerine's Shine On 6x6 paper pad included in the kit. 

For my title I used a card that says, "Unforgettable" above the photo, and a tag below my photo houses the word "you".

I typed my journaling and added it beside the photo. I also used some of the AT phrase stickers for a few more sentiments under my photo.

I added some clusters of hearts around the edges -- where the cut file stops and the white card stock starts -- all the hearts on this one! 😍 Then some stitching and tangled thread to finish it off!  I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by! XO o.g.

November Guest Designer | Joanna Bandelin

We are so excited to introduce you to our November Guest Designer!  Please welcome Joanna Bandelin!!  Joanna caught our eye, with her awesome projects using cut files from The Cut Shoppe, on Social Media.  We love her fun style and can't wait to share what she created.  Let's get to know a bit more about Joanna, before we see her gorgeous layout!

Hello scrappy friends, I'm Joanna & I'm so happy to be guest designing this month! I've been a part of the scrapbooking world for almost 15 years. I've made lots of handmade cards & I try to keep a project life album for my family every year, but my heart is in creating scrapbook pages. I love the process & seeing the end result. I became a die cutting fan back when the original Cricut came out. I fell in love with that machine when I first saw the commercial on TV years ago, and now I use cut files on almost every page I make.  

A little bit about me, I live in Southern California with my husband and 2 daughters. My girls are my muse & the center of my layouts. I am a hairstylist by trade & run a small salon in a little mountain town. My other hobbies include photography, sewing, cooking & reading. My style is pretty much anything with pops of color and anything cute! 

For my layout I used the Untamed Heart cut file. I loved backing it with pretty papers, enjoy!

Thanks so much for sharing with us Joanna!  Now, let's see what she created, using the Untamed Heart cut file. 

WOW!  Such a fun design!  Joanna did an awesome job with the patterned papers she chose.  And the embellishments add a really awesome touch to the layout.  This cut file also works great with machine stitching, and we love the white stitching Joanna added to her layout!

We loved having you this month Joanna!  You can find more of Joanna's work by checking her out on Instagram!  Make sure you head over to follow her, for some great inspiration!

Current Mood Layout with Neftali

Welcome back TCS fans! It is Neftali with you today, back to share some more cut file inspiration. Haven’t you all been loving the cut files? I totally have and that is why I’ve recently been playing with the older ones. I just can’t let some of them pass me without playing with them, even though there are so many gorgeous one coming out twice a month. Today I am playing with the “Untamed Heart” cut file shown below.

This design seems like a classic staple cut file to me, and I was so excited to be able to finally have it in my hands! I decided to use up some more of my favorite Crate Paper collections to create this layout:

As you can see, it’s just a big ol’ mix of Crate Paper goodness on a page. I used the CP Good Vibes, CP Here + There, and CP Wild Thing papers and embellishments to create it.

I decided to use a fun photo of myself from last summer just acting silly for the camera. The collections have so many mixes of patterns and colors that I felt they went will with the mix of patterns I am also wearing.

To add a special and more feminine touch to my layout, I added two small doilies to back my photo. I feel like they add the perfect female touch to these bold colors all around.

I was also super excited to use some black splatters from a brand new black mist I just recently added to my collection. It’s also a staple, and it pops so well against this page.

As you can see, I had sort of a diagonal set up around my photo from the title at the top left of the heart to the pink flower and glitter thicker leaves and the bottom right.

To add a little something to my heart cut file, I also added a mini cluster to the top right of it with matching colors and textures.

My final detail was to rip my page and create that popular peek-a-boo embellishment with a thicker heart inside of it on the bottom right of my page. I also added some staples and went back around my heart to add a few more staples in two more areas.

That’s all I did to create this fun layout. I loved using my mix of Crate Paper stash and finally using a cutfile that I have seen be recreated in so many ways throughout the years. I’ve got one for my own books now!

So, have I inspired you to grab your favorite supplies and create something fun with the “Untamed Heart” cut file? I sure hope so! Thanks for stopping by, friends! x

Cute | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends!

It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the new Untamed Heart cut file found in the The Cut Shoppe Etsy store. 

I have lots of Crate Paper goodies in my stash so I pulled out some of the Gather collection, as soon as I saw the plaid background paper I have used here I knew the Untamed Heart cut file would be perfect for this paper.

I cut the cut file out of a cardstock I didn't care too much about, once cut I pulled up the entire outer edge piece, I then washi taped it to the background paper to use as a guide for where each triangle was going to be placed. The triangles I left on my mat as they were, using these as templates for the inside pieces on my background paper. I was able to use up lots of my already cut up papers and traced the template ones on to the patterned paper ones. 

Once all the triangles were adhered in place, I machine stitched around the outside of the heart and through the middle and around each triangle also.   

This photo is of my youngest niece who is 1...isn't she adorable!? I just love this photo of her in her cute little tartan skirt! This collection goes with this photo perfectly. I used very few embellishments once I had the heart finished and the photo placed as I didn't want to cover up the heart too much.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Stay Colorful | Donna Espiritu

Hello, crafters! Donna here with my take on one of The Cut Shoppe's files, "The Untamed Heart" cut file.

I love how super cute my layout turned out!

I cut the file twice. I cut the file first using the papers from the Stay Colorful collection by Dear Lizzy. 

Then I matted the colorful triangles with a white cardstock. I lifted some of the edges of the triangles so it's not totally flat on the surface.

I mounted the photo on foam tape and placed a mixture of flat/layered stickers and chipboards as embellishments. Using a black Micron pen, I wrote the journaling around the heart.

Lastly, I splattered pink, coral and white misting sprays while the photo is covered, for some messy texture.

That's all for now and I hope you liked my layout!

Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting,

♥ Beautiful Day | Shannon Morgan

Good morning friends! I'm bringing you this layout today featuring these awesome files: Untamed Heart and (a fast becoming favorite) The Working Title 

I really couldn't think of better files to use to celebrate Mack's 8th Grade Graduation and the earthly Fathers who lover her. Mack graduated with honors and she's now a freshman. I can't read handle that part, but I can handle that she's loved and supported by a great community and led by two great men. 

Here's a close up of that great title:

I used foam dots to have it pop off the page.

Thank you for letting me share with you! 

Make sure you're checking The Cut Shoppe for new files, Ashley is adding them all the time!!

New Cut Files | Favorite Moment

New Cut Files are in the shop today, and it's time for me to share another layout with you!  This one even has...wait for it...a PROCESS VIDEO to go along with it!  YAY!  I used the new Untamed Heart cut file.  This is a fun design and one that you will find around the scrappy world, but I definitely wanted to have my own design for the shop.  You can do so many things with this cut file.  Here's a look at how I used it.

 

I chose a geometric patterned paper from the Crate Paper Wild Heart collection.  I love the look of the two different geometric patterns combined.  I used the 6x8 paper pad for the positive triangle shapes from the cut file.  I usually tend to use 6x6 or 6x8 papers with cut files, because I like the way the smaller patterns look with the design.

Before adding my photo and embellishments, I machine stitched around the heart and the inside lines.  The stitching adds a fun quilted look to the cut file.  I placed a few ephemera pieces behind my photo to help it stand out from the background, and then layered a few stickers from the collection on the photo.

Once I had everything finished around the photo, I used a few other embellishments to create a visual triangle on the layout.  I decided not to add too many other embellishments, because I really liked the look of all of the patterns and colors in the Untamed Heart cut file.

If you would like to see how everything came together on this layout, make sure you check out my Process Video.  I would love for you to visit my YouTube channel and become a new subscriber, if you haven't done so already!  :)
