Bloom and Grow | Kylie Kingham.

Hello friends! It is Kylie with you all on the blog today with a new layout to share.For this page I have worked with the 'Roses are Red' cut file which is available now on the WEBSITE.

I really wanted to incorporate lots of colour into my design and have used the 'Hip Hop Hooray' collection by Simple Stories. I have layered several designs of paper together to form a framed background. 

My cut file was backed with the same coloured paper to keep things simple.I selected a contrasting paper for the centre of my cut file which was adhered flat to the background. Once my cut file was backed I used foam tape to adhere it over the top so that it gave the appearance of being a frame.Next I began layering various die cuts around the flower wreath, making sure to keep an even balance.

My photo was only printed quite small so that it fitted nicely to my wreath.To finish, more die cuts and stickers were added around my photo for a neat, balanced finish.The cut file has certainly added a lovely 'Spring' theme to my completed design.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Don't forget to check this cut file as well as many more via The Cut Shoppe WEBSITE.

Happy Scrapping!

Happy Details | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  It's Marsha with you today, and I'm sharing another layout in my traveler's notebook.  I used the fun Bless Your Heart cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Here's a look at the layout I created:

Here's the Bless Your Heart cut file:

For my project today, I am documenting two photos of my youngest son and me.  He rarely asks to take photos, so I am always happy when he requests them.  We take one "serious" photo and then take lots using Snapchat filters.    

To begin the spread, I resized the cut file to about 4" wide (to fit in my traveler's notebook) and cut it out using white cardstock.  I then backed it with a turquoise patterned paper.  I trimmed a woodgrain patterned paper into a tag shape as the base for the page.

Next, I adhered another patterned paper to the bottom of the page and added the title at an angle using a die cut and puffy word sticker.  To embellish the page, I used some puffy stickers and a chipboard sticker and stamped the date below the cut file.

For the other side of the layout, I added another piece of the heart patterned paper at an angle at the top of the page.  I added my two photos and used labels and puffy stickers to embellish.  I used another puffy word sticker at an angle on the page to mirror the one on the other side of the layout.

To finish off the page, I typed my journaling, trimmed it out, and stapled it to the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you to use a cut file on your next project.  I'll see you again soon!

You Go Girl | Kylie Kingham.

Hello scrappy friends, it's Kylie back with you today with a brand new layout to share. For today's design I had a lot of fun working with the new 'You Go Girl' cut file which is now available on the WEBSITE.

I really loved the style of font used for this title as it enabled me to use different patterned papers to back each one. I went with a very soft past theme for my layout using the 'Wise & Free' collection by Uniquely Creative. I added some torn edges to my background and once my cut file was fully backed I adhered it with some foam tape. By doing this, gives the impression my cut file is 'floating' on my layout.

I tucked in some cute embellishments behind my cut file title as well as added some over the top.

I printed two of the same photo and backed them before adhering them next to my title. A lot of people ask why I print two photos the same and it is purely for effect. To complete my layout I added a large cluster of embellishments to the lower right hand side of my page for balance. I wanted lots of different layers so it added a nice dimension.

Thanks for taking a peep at my layout today. I hope it gives you some inspiration for your own scrappy fun.

Happy Love Day | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  It's Marsha back again today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook album.  I couldn't resist creating one more Valentine's Day project before the month was over!  I used the fun Love Rules cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Here's a look at the layout:

Here's the cut file:

For my spread today, I am documenting a photo of my youngest son with his Valentine treat bags for school.  He loved making goodies for his friends and teachers!

To begin my layout, I printed out the cut file using white cardstock and backed it with a plaid patterned paper from my stash.  I love using the TN sized cut files, because they don't require much embellishment but look awesome on a page!  I stamped the word "happy" using a stamp set from Elle's Studio and black ink.  To complete the title, I used puffy letter stickers to spell out "day" and stamped the date using a roller date stamp.  To complete this page, I added a puffy heart sticker to the heart portion of the cut file.

For the other side of the layout, I used a grid paper as the base.  I added my photo and used a variety of ephemera pieces to create a grid on the page, overlapping the photo with some of them.

Next, I added more stamping using two stamp sets from Elle's Studio.  To finish off the page, I added some staples and faux stitching to a couple of spots on the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you to use one of the awesome Traveler's Notebook cut files from The Cut Shoppe on your next project!

Espresso Yourself | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! 

Vânia here and today i´m sharing a 12x12 page that i made using the Espresso Yourself cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I love coffe, and i couldn´t start my day without my expresso. So i made this layout to document my love for this small cup of coffee. 

I´m using a couple of different Maggie Holmes collections some bits and pieces from Heritage and some from Willow Lane.

I´ve start by cutting the file using white cardstock, then chose different patterned papers to back the cut file. I put my photo inside the letter O and create a little embellishment cluster around it. 

Also grab a couple of different stamp sets from my stash, coffe themed, and stamped a couple of phrases and fake coffee splatters in some of the letters.

To Finish the page i add a couple of stickers and some ink splatters to my page.

Thank you so much for passing by, see you soon!

Be My Valentine | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  It's Marsha here today, and I'm back with another layout in my traveler's notebook.  I used the oh so fun Be My Valentine cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Here's the layout I created:

Here's the Be My Valentine cut file:

For my project today, I used lots of January 2020 release products from Elle's Studio.  To begin the layout, I sized the cut file to fit in my traveler's notebook and cut it out on white cardstock.  I backed the words and heart with different patterned papers.  Next, I adhered the cut file to another patterned paper and added it to the traveler's notebook.  To embellish the page, I added some puffy heart stickers and a die cut heart.

For the other side of the layout, I layered a tag behind my photo.  I stamped a label and sentiment onto some patterned paper, trimmed it out, and added it to the top of the page.  I used some phrase stickers and a leatherette sticker to frame the photo.

I did a bit more stamping at the bottom of the page and added a puffy heart sticker.  To finish off the layout, I added a messy hand-drawn border around the edges of the spread.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to check out all of the fun new designs at The Cut Shoppe store.  I will see you again soon!

So Rad | Kylie Kingham.

Hello there friends! It is Kylie back with you on the blog today to share a brand new layout I have been working on. My son's albums have been looking a less full to my daughter's lately so I wanted to create a layout for him. Searching through The Cut Shoppe store, I was drawn to the Brick House cut file, and knew it would make a perfect background for a 'grunge' styled layout.

This layout came together particularly fast, thanks to it being so easy to back. I've kept it pretty simple by adding a contrasting border in navy and backing the grunge styled paper with a solid piece of wood grain themed paper. (This paper collection is 'Boys Rule' by Cocoa Vanilla Studio.) For texture, I was going to add a machine stitched border. However in the end I decided to add a free hand drawn border with a black marker. I thought this tied into the grunge styled theme better.

I added my photo to the background with foam tape, so that it sat up a little for dimension. Surrounding my photo I have added some different coloured and styled frames overlapping each other.

To complete my layout I have added some different styled titles again with foam tape, over the top of the frames. I did this in a manner so that it gave a nice balance and so that it was not looking too over crowded. I thought some of the titles best described my boy! 

This has been a cut file that adds a great amount of texture and detail to your layout but hasn't needed a lot of embellishing.It looks great just as it is!

Thanks for stopping by to see my layout today. I hope it gives you a little inspiration for your own creating.

Love Grows Here | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! Vânia here and today i´m sharing a layout that i made using the Love Grows Here cut file available at The Cut Shoppe.

I´ve started by cutting the file in white card stock and then chose some patterned papers, mainly from the Horizon colllection from Paige Evans, to back the file.

To adhere the file i used foam adhesive to give a little dimension. 

For the tittle i mixed puffy stickers with alphabet stickers and then stamped the date using a roller stamp.

To embelish my page i use flowers, butterflies and glitter hearts. On the center of each flowers i made a little dot using Nuvo drops. And finished my page with some ink splatters.

And that´s all for today, thank you so much for passing by, don´t forget to go grab your file here.
