My Happy Place | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends!

It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the awesome Geometric Frames cut file. 

Geometric Frames

I cut the design from white cardstock and then adhered straight onto another sheet of white cardstock. I really like how the white on white looks. I didn't use any patterned paper on this layout, instead I chose to use just cardstock and embellishments.

I placed my photo in the very centre frame and placed a die-cut frame over the photo,  I love this butterfliy so much. I then picked out 2 round frame die-cuts to go on either side of the photo. I placed another die-cut inside to frame on the left and also layered a flair button over the top. On the right side, I placed an ampersand die-cut, a wood veneer heart and an enamel dot inside the frame. 

I added at least one die-cut to each of the other frames also, sometimes even adding more than one. I mixed things up a little by adding some wood veneer pieces, some enamel dots and some phrase stickers to embellish. My title is the blue 'My Happy Place' die-cut, it was the perfect title for my page about my nieces being in one of their happy places, which is outside! 

To finish my page I added the date stamp and one of the metal clips just below my photo. Make sure to check out this very versatile cut file in the store, there are so many fantastic ways you could use this design, it would look great with different papers or photos behind each frame, you could fill each one entirely with embellishments too!

Happy creating!

Hi everyone!

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a fun new layout using the awesome and VERY popular Photo Album cut file!

I cut the cut file design out of some pale pink patterned paper from the Amy Tangerine 'Oh Happy Life' collection and then chose 5 other papers to back the frames with. I added 5 selfie photos of myself from some places that I have traveled to. Travelling is another of my passions!

Photo Album cut file

The photography elements like the camera from this collection were perfect to match with the Photo Album cut file I love how everything ties in well and co-ordinates. This cut file is awesome to use for multi photo layouts!

Once the frames were backed I added my photos to the centres making sure to put back the middle of the frame also. I then stuck the entire cut file to plain white textured cardstock and went ahead and started embellishing.

 I added 2 of the cute rubber charms from the Oh Happy Life collection, plus also tucked in 2 of the floral pieces from the die-cut pack. My title is 'Happy' also from the die-cut pack and its popped up with foam dots to make it stand out a little. I also added some of the cute clear stickers, enamel hearts, skinny washi tape and a flair button from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by The Cut Shoppe blog today! Check out The Cut Shoppe store for this cut file plus so many more amazing designs too!

Happy creating!

Brush Them Chompers

Hey there! It's Devra here today. I have a confession. I did it again. I used multiple cut files. Maybe that's my thing? Anyway, my other confession, is that I had no real plan when I began this page,

I knew I wanted to use the new Buffalo Plaid  cut file. I really wanted to stitch it. So I converted the cut line into stitching lines. That's when my plan tarted to come together.  I hadn't intended on filling it with paper, but it was too plain. I offset the file internally, and voila, that part was done.

Now that I had a plan, I chose photos, which led me to paper, and frames!  I love frames!  I also like to be kitschy.  The 'smile' frame from the  Instant Camera and 'cheese' frame from Say Cheese  fo with my photos so well I had to use them!  The colors are bright and bold, the frames around my photos are perfect and in the end this no plan thing worked out well!

Thanks so much for looking today. I hope I've inspired you to try multiple cut files on one project. See you next time.

Happy Monday! ♥

I'm sharing a layout of my sweet Lucy with you today. She loves laying in the sun, often reluctant to come in the house, she throws herself down in the yard and refuses to get up. I laugh every time she does it and finally got some good pictures of her pouting. 

I created this layout using the Say Cheese cut file:

Here's a close up of some of the awesome cut files available in this set:

Thank you for letting me share!

Hope you have a wonderful week ahead and keep checking the blog for amazing inspiration ♥

Limited Edition

 Hello scrappy friends! It's Zinia here sharing a layout I create with some of the most recent designs from The Cut Shoppe store.

The cut files are used are Instant Camera and Quirky Quotes. I wanted to make a grid using the lovely frame designs but I cut my paper pieces a bit too small and I failed aligning them properly in my Silhouette mat. So I had to re-think the whole design and find a creative way to use my pieces cause I didn't want to waste that pretty paper.

I ended up layering the frames on the side of the page creating a big cluster of photos and embellishments. I used different little pieces to hide the badly cut sides so that nobody could tell there was a mistake behind these lovely layers.

I used a mix of the American Crafts Hazelwood collection and some of my favorite Maggie Holmes lines. They worked out really well with the pastel colors and the pops of bold details.

So that's it. I really hope you enjoyed this layout and the little tricks I used to cover my "failed" cuts. I will see you again soon with another project. Till then, happy scrapping!
