Ain't Life Grand

Hi! Irit here and I'm excited to share with you my latest project using some great heart cut files from The Cut Shoppe. I created a large shaker element on my layout, here it is-

I created this layout to document a visit to the children's museum in Schoenbrunn palace in Vienna. At the end of the exhibition everyone can dress up as queens and kinds, so much fun!

 Here are the cut files I used-

I cut one of the hearts from Bless your heart, adhered it to a piece of acetate, and then adhered that to a piece of pink patterned paper, but leaving a little opening to pour in the sequins.

I used another heart design from Everyday Essentials as a smaller embellishment, and backed that with light blue patterned paper.

I love the whimsical feel of this layout! Thanks so much for stopping by, and make sure to check The Cut Shoppe for these cut files and more!

Hi there! It's Flóra back today on The Cut Shoppe blog. My latest layout was made with the awesome Washi Love cut file set. Zinia's beautiful project really inspired me to try this cut file. 

First I cut out the washi stipes from different papers. I used monochrome and patterned papers as well. My idea was to create a backround from the colorful stripes, so I made an order. It was important to placed the vivid colors in the middle, so they guide the eyes to the photo.

I made a shaker pocket and filled up it with the tiny cut out pieces. The shaker pocket idea on a scrapbook layout comes from Suse Fish. I think it's so clever, I have long wanted to try. I backed the transparent packet with a piece of vellum, so it can pop out from the busy background.

Then I created my title and embellished my project. This time I also used stamped sentiments to complete my page.

That is it for today. Sure, I will use again and again the Washi Love cut file, as it's so cool. My favourite is the one with hearts. I can imagine it could be super cool in a real washi size. :-) Visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy store for more awesomeness. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Hello Awesome Baby

Hello all!

I am beyond excited to have my first layout for The Cut Shoppe!   I have been a fan of Ashley's designs since the day i purchase the Let's Cut Class (to learn how to use my Cameo);  from then to now being in the design team (with all these amazing ladies) has been a blessing.  Thank you Ashley!

For this first layout, I wanted to document this little angel (I am lucky to babysit him once in a while!);  so I chose to use two cutfiles to create my background,  Around & Around  and Boys Rule.  I welded some of the pieces together, and added pocket shakers on the empty spaces of the scribbled circles  (this is my interpretation of the rattles this sweet baby loves so much).  

The welded background

Next,  I chose the teal background paper from the new Sunny Side Up Digital Collection (I had the entire collection printed to fit a 11x17 in format at Staples -the largest size cardstock they had at hand-).   A large border of Crate Paper's Bloom Collection (Delighted) was machine stitched to frame the layout.  Next I added the picture, and  formed clusters around it with some cut-outs from the Sunny Side Up collection, MAMBI's Soft Spoken series chipboard stickers, and Heidi Swapp's MInc Icon collection.

The Sunny Side Up collection was perfect to document this day

The title was created using the Open Letter Alpha cut file (a personal favorite).  I used foiled vellum (Hello Love from Crate Paper's Hello Love collection, and paper 02 from MME's Necessities collection) to back the words, as they matched the color of the sequin in the shaker pockets.

Here is the final layout after a few more details were added...

I am super excited to have shared this layout with you.  Leave me a comment if you have any questions about the layout.  

Don't forget to check the store THE CUT SHOPPE to find all these cut files, and many more (they are truly beautiful designs)

Till next time,  Happy Craftin'!
