October 31st | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends!

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing some Halloween inspiration!

I am getting a little low on Halloween embellishments but still have loads of papers! I decided to enlarge and cut out the 31 in the star from the Wicked Fun cut file set. I cut it out from a multicoloured stripe paper and I was happy with how it turned out. 

The Wicked Fun cut file set

I decided to adhere the cut file straight onto some white cardstock, tucking part of my photo under the top right of the cut file. Because the paper I chose to cut it from has lots of colours in it, I was able to add lots of different coloured embellishments too!

I have been wanting to use up some of my Thicker stash lately too so I added 'October' over the cut file using some black chipboard Thickers. I had a web doily left over from another project so I tucked that into the bottom right of the cut file design. I then added a spider sticker over the top, it was the perfect addition to add to the web. 

I used lots of other stickers, die-cuts and a super cute flair button too. I added some black cotton thread underneath the flair button and tucked some in over on the right hand side of the photo to balance it out. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to create a Halloween project using some of the awesome cut files in store!

Happy creating!

Simple Halloween Mixed Media Layout | Helen Gullett

Hello everyone... Helen is here with a simple Halloween mixed media scrapbook layout. On my layout today, I use the Wicked Fun cutting file and the Road Trip Printable.

On the background 12x12 cardstock, I sprayed the yellow Marabu Art Spray. I let it dry on the side while I work on the cutting.

I used the spider web and title from the Wicked Fun cutting file on this layout. I enlarged the spider web to fit on the background cardstock. Using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut it with black cardstock and then I added some of the Shimmer Creative Medium for extra glitter and sprakle on the web. It dried pretty quick. After that, I added the spider web on the base cardstock with adhesive glue.

I printed and cut the tag from the Road Trip Printable. I wrote the date and glued the tag behind the photo. Then, I added them on top of the spider web with adhesive glue.

I cut out the sentiment with yellow and black cardstocks and stacked them together to get the shadow effect on the die cuts. I also added some of the Shimmer Creative Medium on the word "First" for the shimmer and sparkle.  And then, I added both die cut words on the page using adhesive glue.

I am so happy that I am making progress with finishing my daughter's baby album.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day...

Halloween Boo!

Hi crafty friends! Kelly here today sharing a fun Halloween layout using the Ghost Town Digital Collection and the Wicked Fun Cut File.

For my layout today I knew I wanted to use multiple images from the Ghost Town Digital Collection! I used my wide format printer to print a 12x12 pattern paper from the collection to use as my background. I then used the Print Then Cut feature on my Cricut Explore for a few of the ephemera pieces included within the collection. Keep in mind there are maximum sizes for the Print Then Cut feature. For easy reference I've created a diagram posted below. You can also find more information on Cricut's Website.

I also used the "patterns" feature within Cricut Design Space to cut the bat from the Wicked Fun Cut File. I love this feature within DS because it allows me to size the patterns to fit within the image. This way I don't have to print the entire pattern on a sheet of cardstock! I've included how to use the "patterns" feature in my process video.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to scrapbook. I think it's because I only create a few pages a year and then I tuck away all of the papers, ephemera, photos, etc so when I grab my Iris container (okay let's be honest...it's containers...not container ha!) it is like seeing new product for the first time! Fun products like the cut files and ephemera pieces just add to the fun!

Here's the process video I promised! I have also had multiple requests to create a video showing how to upload cut files from The Cut Shoppe into Design Space from start to finish. That is coming within the next couple weeks so keep your eye on my YouTube channel!

Thanks so much for joining me today!!

Wicked Fun!

Hello friends!  Candace here today to share another Halloween layout with you!  So far my favorite cut files ever from The Cut Shoppe are the Halloween cut files.  I adore them all!  I had a "wicked fun" time creating with them this year!  For my first Halloween layout I decided to use the Wicked Fun cut file from the shop.  Here is a look at how fab it is...

I paired this cut file with the adorable collection from Crate Paper called "After Dark".  Here is a look at the final layout including some close ups.

Here is a video of the entire process of me putting this fun layout together.  Enjoy!  Can't wait to share my next Halloween layout with you!  Have a beautiful day!

Trick or Treat!

Hello! It's Jennifer and I'm on the blog today to share a layout I created using some of the fun new Halloween cut files in the shop! This is one of my favorite times of the year and I love scrapping Halloween and fall photos!

For my title, I used the "Trick or Treat" cut file from Wicked Fun. I also layered the cute star/circle border underneath! 

For my background, I used the Wacky Web cut file with a fun black and white print paper! 

I love the contrast with the white cardstock background!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Check out these fun cut files in the Etsy shop!  

Have a wonderful day!

Going Batty

Happy October 1st!  I love the month of October, and my kids have already asked me about a million times how much longer it is until Halloween!  So I thought we would kick off this month with some fun, new Halloween sets in The Cut Shoppe!  Today, there are 5 new cut file sets available and a Printable Cut Ups!  I created a layout using the new Wacky Web cut file and the Wicked Fun cut file.

I cut the Wacky Web fairly large from Black card stock and backed it with a few patterned papers from the Crate Paper After Dark collection.  Before adhering it to the background paper, I added some White machine stitching.  Then I added pop dots under my photo, and clustered embellishments from the After Dark collection around the photo.  For the title, I used the Dear Lizzy Documentary Cork Thickers, and placed them on the outside edge of the web.  And since the title of my layout was Going Batty, I definitely had to use the bat image from the Wicked Fun cut file set.

There are a lot more sets in The Cut Shoppe today, so make sure you stop by and check them out!  Here's a look at what you'll find!

Supplies:  Wacky Web cut file & Wicked Fun cut file:  The Cut Shoppe; Patterned Paper, Chipboard, Enamel Dots, Stickers, Bits & Wood Veneers:  Crate Paper; Flair Button:  A Flair for Buttons; Thickers:  American Crafts; Tiny Attacher:  Tim Holtz; Die Cut Machine:  Silhouette Cameo
