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!

Off grid | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! Today i´m sharing a TN page in my album using the Off Grid cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

It´s a really simple page to document my father´s birthday, i´ve started by cutting the file in white cardstock, and choose a plain yellow cardstock as a background.

Add my tittle on the top of the grid, using one of the ephemera pieces from the My Favorite Story collection by Pinkfresh Studio and a puffy alpha.

Use the mini alpha punch board from We R Memory keppers to create the age and put the numbers on the bottom right side of the page. And decorate the page using some stickers and ephemera.

And that´s all for today! Thank you so much for passing by, don´t forget to take a look at all the cut files available on The Cut Shoppe.

Market Fresh | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! Today i´m sharing a layout from my album, i´m using the Market Fresh cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I made a little shaker, using the cut file and my fuse tool. I have used the cut file as a guide to fuse the plastic and then filled up with sequins. I cut the file two times, one to use in front and the other to back the plastic. That way i have the two sides cover and don´t look wierd when you flip the shaker. Because i didn´t adhere it to the page i just use the handle to put it in one of the rings of the album.

I´m using the new My Favorite Story collection from Pinkfresh Studio collection that i think it´s perfect for Spring projects.

This page it´s about a flower festival that i went in Frebruary, dedicated to Camellias. Besides flowers they also have little cakes with "camellias" that i thought are really cute and have to eat one.

For the tittle i mixed stickers with stamps, and use different elements from the collection to decorate my page.

Thank you so much for watching! Don´t forget to go grab your file on The Cut Shoppe and make your one shaker, i think it always add a fun touch in your album.

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.

Boys Rule | Kylie Kingham.

Hello everyone. It's Kylie here, back with a new layout to share with you all. I've been having lots of fun with one of the newest cut files to be added to The Cut Shoppe's website ,which was the 'Love Always' cut file. 

I've kept the overall theme of my layout masculine using some of my most favourite colour combinations to back the cut file. I backed each small heart separately which took some time to do so but I was very happy with how it looked once completed. It was adhered to my background page with foam tape, so that it sat up a little which helps give the appearance of depth and dimension within your layout.

Only a small amount of embellishments were added to support my photo which was adhered to the lower portion of my layout.

Once completed and I was happy with the finished balance and result, I added a fine hand drawn border around the outer edge. This was done with a fine tip black marker.

Thanks for taking a look at my layout today. I hope it gives you a little inspiration for your own creating. Until next time,

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.

Happy Together | Kylie Kingham.

Hello friends. It's Kylie with you all and today I am sharing a new layout I have created, featuring the new 'Square Off' cut file now available on The Cut Shoppe website. I decided to create a love heart within the square by backing it with a contrasting paper to its background.

It became pretty clear straight away that this cut file could be backed many ways to create many varying patterns. It would also be lovely as a coloured background. I began my layout by layering 3 different papers for my background so that it gave a nice border to my page. I used the gorgeous 'So Happy Together' paper collection by Simple Stories.

Once my cut file was backed I added my photo with foam tape, so that it sat up from the background to give dimension. This was then supported and surrounded with some cut die cuts for extra colour.

I really didn't want to 'over crowd' my background so I added a cute cluster of embellishments to the opposite side to my photo, keeping it minimal. This way the heart I created within the square background was still the main feature of my design.

Once completed I loved how all the layers and colour worked so well together...

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my layout today.Don't forget to stop by The Cut Shoppe website to see all the amazing cut files available.

Take care,

Squared Away | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! Vânia here, today i´m sharing a page of my ring bound Travler´s Notebook made using the Squared Away cut file and the Eat Beat digital stamp, as always you can find this products on The Cut Shoppe.

I´ve started by creating the layout of the right side of my page using Photoshop and the digital stamps. Then print it with my home printer.

To decorate the pages i use some bits and pieces from an old Dear Lizzy collection, named Saturday.

On the left side i chose to use the Squared Away cut file, resizing and adapting the file to the format that i need. I then backed the file using some different patterned papers that match the color scheme of my page.

And that´s all for today! Thank you for passing by!
