Kim Jeffress / travel layout

Welcome back to the Cut Shoppe blog. Today I am sharing a new travel layout I have been working on. Several months ago my family and I travelled to Europe for 5 weeks and I have slowly but surely working my way through my memories. Today I want to share my layout about our day at Greenwich.

As you can see my travel album is taking shape with pocket pages, both large and small and for this pocket page spread I used several of the Cut Shoppe's travel cut files. I used Going My Way, Here There Everywhere and Around the World Tags. 

I cut the Going My Way cut file  on white cardstock and I sized it to 4 inches so it could fit in my 4x6 pocket.

I adhered it straight onto my 4x6 card and then added my title stickers around the outside curve. I also added a puffy sticker to the centre of the cut file for added interest.

I also cut the Here There Everywhere cut file on white cardstock.

This time I adhered the cut file on the outside of my pocket page because it was larger than the pocket. I love the way it overlaps other elements of my page.

Finally I cut the Around the World Tags on white cardstock as well. I sized it to fit inside my 3x4 pocket and backed it with some red pattern paper. I added a puffy heart from my stash and stapled the tag to my background paper. 

I love the way my layout came out and can't wait to scrap my next lot of holiday photos!

vacay mode / kim Jeffress

Welcome back to the Cut Shoppe blog. It's Kim here and today I am excited to share my newest pocket page with you using the Vacay Mode cut file set. On our vacation in Mykonos we spent a few hours at a typical Mykonos beach.  When I saw the summer sunglasses I knew that they would be perfect for my photos. The Outdoor Life Digital Stamp set was also the perfect way to also add extra details to some of my photos for texture without the bulk.

I love all the cute designs in this set.

I cut the sunglasses file 6 inches across so it would fit in the 4x6 pocket. I then backed it with vellum and adhered it to the yellow pattern paper background with pop dots for added dimension.

I then used cut the Sea You Soon cut file at 3 inches wide so it would fit into the 3x4 pocket. I also added some detail to my photo with the Outdoor Life Digital Stamp set.

I added my journaling under the cut file flap for a fun interactive element.

Thanks for joining me here today. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

December Daily Spreads with Enza

Hello everyone! Enza here, and today I would like to share a few spreads in my December Daily album. I love using cut files to personalize the pages. Not only holiday-themed ones, but also sentiments and designs that go with the story of the day.

I really enjoyed using the Write This Down cut file. I like the arrow shape, and the sentiments are generic and can be easily adapted to any photo.

Creating dividers is also a lot of fun. Here, I cut four layers of the Make It Merry cut file and adhered them back-to-back, making sure to “sandwich” some patterned papers in between. It came out thick and sturdy. I love it! Just a technical note: since I wanted the textured side of the paper to show on both sides of the divider, I flipped one of the images horizontally in the Silhouette program before sending it to cut. That way the image was mirrored and worked perfectly for what I wanted.

Sometimes you don't need a lot to accent a picture or a page. The sentiment “Celebrate” included in the It's My Party cut file set, with its beautiful and delicate font, gives the right amount of color and detail to this photo.

The next page features the Snow Day cut file. I cut the snowflakes out of white glitter card stock, after modifying their sizes to create some variety.

Finally, I wanted flowers from the Flower Delivery cut file to be the focus of this mini scrapbook layout for day 9. Again, I cut them in different sizes and arranged them on the page. I kept it simple, with just a few embellishments around photo and flowers.

Here are the full spreads:

That is all for today. Cut files are a great way to personalize your December Daily album. Visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy store and get inspired by the beautiful and fun designs.

Thank you for stopping by!

Boys Rule-DIY Project Life Cards

Hello Cut Shoppe friends!  Candace here with you today to share some ideas on creating your own project life cards using the digital cut files from the shop.  To create the cards today I used my new favorite cut file Boys Rule.

Here is a look at the cards I created for today's project.

The first page I created was the cover page for my 2015 album.  Looking back through my album and filling in the holes I found that I needed a cover page.  These DIY project life cards were perfect for the theme of a new year.  Here is a look at the cover page. 

For the "awesome" cut file I stapled the cut file directly to a clear piece of 4x6 acetate and placed it into the page protector.  For the "adventure awaits" card I simply stitched the white arrow cut file to the card.

For the next page I adhered the cut files to 3x4 and 4x6 cards then layered a word strip over the top.  I love how it perfectly told the story of my little guys first pinewood derby.  Take a look...

I hope this inspired you and gave you a few ideas on how to use cut files in your pocket page scrapbooking.  Have a beautiful day and don't forget to stop by the shop and pick up these or any of the other fantastic cut files!
