Falling Leaves | Erica Thompson

Fall is here and I am so excited for my favorite time of the year! I was so excited to see all the new fall cut files from The Cut Shoppe and the Autumn Leaves file is my favorite!

I pulled out the new Paige Evans Truly Grateful collection that I picked up from A Cherry on Top and began to back the cut file with 6x8 papers. The cut file was cut on some white textured cardstock. This did take some time to back but totally worth it! Once it was fully backed I added foam adhesive to the back and adhered to a white piece of cardstock that I had splattered with gold color shine.

The photo is of our sweet girl Lola Bean! I just love her sweet face and she has her chunky scarf on! You can see the pretty fall leaves on the ground and they match her beautiful color! I added stickers on each side of my photo and an epoxy flair from Scrappin Happy Studio that matches the collection perfectly!

We just love this sweet soul so very much! The sweetest most lovable pup we have ever known. Her favorite things are cuddling, sleeping and more sleeping! Everyone loves her and she love everyone...except frogs and plastic bags! She really is afraid of those two things! haha! Here is a look at my completed layout using the Autumn Leaves cut file! I hope you pick this one up along with some of the other fall files in the shop!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

First Day of School | Erica Thompson

Hey everyone! Erica here with you today to bring you a back to school layout featuring the Too Cool For School cut file! This was a Freebie Friyay cut file from a few weeks ago and I could not wait to get it on a layout!

I pulled out some of the Doodlebug Design School Days collection because I thought it would be perfect with this cut file. I used the 6x6 paper pad to back the cut file and I used some Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the paper. This has been my go to adhesive the last few months. I love the primary colors in this collection and I had fun backing the fun images that are also in the different letters in the cut file.

I am documenting 4 photos of Eli James first day of school and his super cool Avengers backpack! He was so proud of it and the blue on the bag matches the blue in the collection! Perfect!

Make sure to check out all the awesome Freebie files in the shop along with the newest release! Here is a look at my completed layout and you can check out my process video HERE on YouTube or catch it down below!

Trick or Treat | Erica Thompson

Hey crafty friends!  Erica back with you to share another Halloween layout! Halloween has always been my favorite time of year! We love to deck out the house, watch scary movies and October 31st can never come soon enough! As soon as the kids get home from school on Halloween we get into costume and get things ready for the night! I love to take the kids out and get their photos taken with their costumes! I know one day they are going to love to look back and see what they dressed up for as kids!  Today I used the Trick or Treat cut file from The Cut Shoppe!  You can find it HERE!

I used the Photoplay Paper collection Trick or Treat!  I cut the file out with American Crafts black cardstock. I love how the colors pop against the black paper! The photos are from last Halloween when we had a superhero theme for our costumes! All 6 of the kids dressed up last year and it was kinda sad because I knew it would probably be the last time my oldest son Drake would dress. He was 18 last year and a good sport and dressed as the Joker! This file was so fun to back and pretty simple! I used a piece of smooth white American Crafts cardstock as my base. I wanted to add some splatters to the page just to add a little bit of some interest. I pulled out some stamp pads from Catherine Pooler that matched perfectly with the Trick or Treat collection. Grape Crush, Orange Twist and Lime Rickey! I love the Catherine Pooler inks so much. The colors are amazing and love how bright they stay when you let them dry on the page.

I decided I wanted to cut my photo out in a circle and place it in the letter O of the word Or.  I love how it turned out! 

I added foam tape to the back of the cut file to pop it up off the page.  I used the card stock stickers that come in the Trick or Treat collection pack to embellish around my layout.  I also used some black enamel dots to my layout! You can never go wrong with a few enamel dots on a project.

For my journaling I used my We R Memory Keepers typewriter to document who was under the awesome costumes and the year! Simple and to the point! I had so much fun with this cut file! If you are looking for some awesome Halloween cut files make sure to stop by The Cut Shoppe and pick some up! Also remember to check out the blog for more Fall and Halloween inspiration. 

Here is a look at my completed layout!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Keep Going

Hello! It's Heather here with my last project for The Cut Shoppe! I have loved my time on the team, and my absence here on the blog doesn't mean I will stop using Ashley's awesome cut files! You can still see what I create on my blog, Crafty Scrapbooker. :)

So for this last project, I wanted to do a reflective page about how I feel about my life right now. Scrapping about my inner feelings is always liberating and I love looking back on these kind of pages to see what I was thinking and feeling at certain points in my life. 

I chose the title "Keep Going" because I thought that was a perfect summary of what I'm feeling right now. I've just got to keep trucking along. :) 

I used the awesome background cut file called "Curtain Call" for this page. I added patterns behind some of the diamond negatives and then stitched over the top of some rows to add some more interest to the layout. I actually trimmed one row of diamonds off the background cutfile so I would have some white space to journal on. 

So that's about it for this layout! Like I said, I have loved my time on the team and I wish all the best to Ashley and all the lovely ladies here! :) 

Sarcasm is my Super Power

Hello everyone, Danielle here! I'm sharing a layout with you today with two of the new cut files that have been added to the store yesterday. For the Hero Up set I knew immediately what picture to use it with. During my last trip I found these PJ's and just for fun I had a pic taken. Now I'm really happy I did. Oh and I still regret not buying them... :-)

I also used a part of the Tiny Triangles background cut file to point to the picture. The papers and embellishments are from the We R Memory Keepers It Factor collection and I added some wood drop chevrons from Pinkfresh Studio.

This is the complete Hero Up cut file set.

And this is the Tiny Triangles 12x12 background

I can't wait to see what you'll create with these cut files, be sure to tag The Cut Shoppe on Facebook and Instagram so we can see your projects.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your weekend!

Fall Days Layout

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's Lee-Anne here and today I am sharing my layout at The Cut Shoppe and now that it is the beginning of Fall, I thought I would create a Fall layout of this handsome little cutie who is my daughter's nephew.

I used the Free Falling Cut Files to create the title of my layout, the leaves and the trees behind the journaling tag.  I love all the texture these cut files give the layout.  I also used some stickers and patterned paper from the Indian Summer Collection by We R Memory Keepers and flair from A Flair For Buttons.  To add a little more depth to the background paper, I used several stencils and some distress inks to give more interest.  Below are a few closeups…

Here is the cut file I used from The Cut Shoppe

I hope you are inspired with my Fall layout.  Thanks for stopping by and check out all the amazing digital cut files in The Cut Shoppe here.   

You're The One For Me

Hello friends! Lee-Anne here with a layout to celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary that my husband and I celebrated on September 5.

Here are some more closeups of my layout…

I put a mixed media spin on my layout and also used the "You're The Rock To My Roll" from the Printables Love Notes

and the heart border below from the Borderlines Too Cut Files 

and also the phrase "You're The One For Me" from the So In Love Cut File for my title that I separated after it was cut and adhered it to the top and bottom of my layout.

These are all available in The Cut Shoppe Store as well as many more and also there are new cut files added every Thursday.  So what are you waiting for? It's time to go shopping!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
