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.

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!

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.

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!

Baby it's cold outside | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends!  Vânia here, today i´m sharing this layout that i made using the Winter is Coming cut file from The Cut Shoppe. It´s a really simple page, with a little mixed media touch.

This cut file it´s for travaers notebook, but i think it can also be used for a 12x12 layout. And that´s what i did.

I´m using Felicity Jane papers and some Crate Paper stickers. Also used some texture paste and a stencil to create a snowflake wave on the top and bottom of the page, mixing the sticker snowflakes with the cut file ones.

I add a little white border at some of the shapes, because i think it really helps to stand out from the background.

And that´s all for today, thank you so much for passing by!

Sleigh Ride | Vânia Fonseca

Hello crafty friends! Vânia here, today i´m sharing two pages from my December Daily.
I made a little pocket in one of the pages using the new Sleigh Ride cut file, that you can find on The Cut Shoppe.

When i saw this cut file i know i have to make something with it, because it´s just so cute. So i think it was a nice idea to made a little pocket, as if you´re storing your wishes inside the sled.

If you have kids, i think this is also cute to store their letter to Santa, or even a list of the presents you want  to give to your family and friends.

I´ve start by backing the cut file with some patterned papers from the Snowflake collection from Crate Paper. Also made two more "presents" to give a little more height to the pocket and made some bows using thread.

The left page, it´s a simple one about my day 6, with a selfie of me and my brother.

With the journaling printed directly in the photo and some stamping below.

And that´s all for today, thank you so much for passing by!
