Happy spring layout - Lisa Fonseca

Hey friends, 

it's Lisa on the blog and today I'm sharing my last layout for TheCutShoppe.

The cutfile I'm using is called Happy spring, you can find it by clicking on this link. :)

For this layout, I wanted to use very bright spring colors, so I chose pink, yellow and mint. I went through my paper scrap stash and chose all the ones that I thought would look good together, then I traced all the letters on the mint and pink papers and cut them out. 

For my background, I created three stripes of color, using acylics, on a white cardstock sheet. Then I adhered my letters to the mint and pink sections. I wasn't careful with the placement of the letters, I wanted them to be a bit crooked, so that when I placed the cutfile on top, they would't match perfectly. If you have been following me for a while, I'm sure you know that I like doing this. I like when the letters peek out from the sides.

The yellow section was still empty at this point. I wanted to place my photo there but I also needed something else to fill up more space. So I went back to my cutfiles and used one of the flowers from the Spring Flowers cutfile. I backed it, as well as my photo, with a yellow patterned paper. I thought it would be cool if the flower had a stem going down to the green section. So I cretated a stem with leaves and a cute little knot. 

I went through my stash and chose a lot of cute little details to add. Stickers, ephemera pieces... I added them all to the corresponding section. To finish I splattered some paint. 

I hope you like how it turned out. 

I want to thank Ashley Horton again for giving me the chance to work with her great cutfiles. Audrey, I wish you all the best for your future projects. :) 

Don't forget that you can still purchase cutfiles on the CutShoppe website!!! :) 

Thank you for the support and nice comments on Instagram.

See you,

Lisa

Floral Wreath Spring Inspiration | Amanda Baldwin

Hi TCS Friends! 

Amanda here, sharing a super pretty Spring layout with the gorgeous new Floral Wreath cut file!
Teamed with the beautiful and bright Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness collection, this layout is a floral dream!
Here's what I created,
"Happy Times"

Oh isn't this gor-jus?!!

The new Floral Wreath is simply stunning! 

I have cut the wreath in white cardstock, and backed it with two of the Happiness 6 x 8" Paper Pad papers. 

Here's a better look at the Floral Wreath......

LOVE!!!!! Absolute floral perfection!

Here's a closer view of my layout.....

To create soft dimension & interest to my wreath, I fold some of the flower petals upwards. I also embellish some of the flower centers with fussy cut butterflies, die cuts, sequins and even a flair button! 

So very pretty! The sequins are the 'Dragon Tales' mix from Spiegelmom Scraps, and they add just the right amount of sparkle to this girly page! 

So my photo isn't lost among all those bright & beautiful florals, I print it in black & white, and also mount it with a die cut frame. Perfect!

I layer my title, happy times, over the wreath too! 

And for finishing touches, I surround the Floral Wreath with hearts and more of those gorgeous sequins! 

And there you have it! 

Spring perfection! 

I hope you feel inspired to use this cut file in your creating!

Happy Arty Days,

Spring Vibes - Caroli Schulz

Hello there! It's Caroli and today I want to share a new layout I made using one of the gorgeous cut files designed by Ashley.

Today I'm sharing this layout I made using Hello Spring cut file:

I also used these flowers exclusively designed for Scrapbook Nerd and available for free at their website:

Here is my layout, I used patterned paper and embellishments from Spring Things collection by Doodlebug Design, and a pic f my little girl few years ago. 

I cut several flowers and combined them with acetate and paper embellishments, I love how these clusters came out.

Something I love is to use my sewing machine to stitch over cut files, in this case I stitched all over the letter

My layout has a lot of volume and color, just perfect for a spring themed project! 

I hope you liked this idea and give it a try, cut files + sewing machine = success! :)

Before you go, make sure to mark you calendars for our NSD event this weekend! I will be sharing a project that hopefully will get you inspired, stayed tuned!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely day!

Bloom & Grow by Jill

Hey friends, I'm back with another  layout using some Spring-themed cut files from The Cut Shoppe Etsy store.  I used the adorable Flower Garden file on this page about my daughter.

I started by sizing the file to be centered on the bottom half of my page, then cut it out of pink patterned paper.

I backed the file with a multi-colored paper, pulling out the light and bright pinks in the photo to match.

I added a few coordinating embellishments, then placed the word YUM right on the photo; I've been into adding embellishments on the white space of my photos lately, covering up unimportant items like the shopping cart in this picture.

I love how the cut file really shines on this layout, and a few touches of gold embellishments finished off this page!

Thanks for checking out my newest creating for The Cut Shoppe!

Spring!

Hi everyone, it's Monique here sharing a colorful Spring layout. Last Saturday I visited the "Keukenhof" for the very first time in my life. For those of you who've never heard of the Keukenhof: The Keukenhof can be found in The Netherlands and is the best day out among flowers! There are more than 7 million bulbs in bloom this Spring and there are about 800 different kinds of tulips! For my layout I definitely needed a Spring cut file and was so happy I could finally use the cut file I've been eyeing for ages: the Social Butterfly!

Using Doodlebug's "Spring Things" collection I created this page:

and this is the "Social Butterfly" cut file from The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store I used:

Here are a few close-ups of my layout: I cut the Social Butterfly cut file from a very colorful Doodlebug paper as I wanted to place it on a white background: 

I placed a lot of fun die-cuts over the butterflies in a way you can still sees part of the butterflies;

After sewing here and there on my page I was done! Really love the result! Hope you do too. 

For lots of other Spring cut files make sure to visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store! Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today! Wishing you a wonderful day!

Spread Your Wings cut file

Hi Girls! It's Flóra sharing a spring themed layout on The Cut Shoppe blog. For this project I used the gorgeous Spread Your Wings cut file. I love it so much that I cut it out three times to create 3D effect. I chose the Pink Paislee - Paige Evans Oh My Heart collection, because I thought it would fit to my fun scrapbook page idea.

In this photo you can see all the three layers. I placed them on above each other and fix them with machine stitching. In some places I cut the upper two layers so the wings can "fly" and create the 3D effect.

As I was working with a white cardstock I had a feeling my layout is too empty. First, I added colorful enamel dots and later I enhanced the fun look with tiny paint splatters.

Instead of alpha or word stickers I used a card as a title. I adhered two 2"x2" photo and few chiboard stickers for embellishing. I didn't want to over decorate my layout, as I think the Spread Your Wings butterflies needed to be in the focus.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope find some new ideas here. Find the Spread Your Wings cut file in The Cut Shoppe. Flóra

Hoppy Easter

Hi! It's Flora here and this is my first post on The Cut Shoppe blog. I am very-very excited. The new Hoppy Easter cut file set really caught my eye, maybe because I am in crazy spring-Easter mood already. I have chosen a family photo to scrap from last year when we were all together on Easter Monday.

The star of my layout is the huge title what I backed with Pink Paislee papers from C'est La Vie collection. I found some old My Mind's Eye Sky's the limit 6" papers in my stash what perfectly matched. I love how the pastel color combo turned out!

I have fussy cut the air balloons and the bird, then I have created two buntings. I also added enamel dots, paper flowers and in the end black labels to balance the dark spots of the photo.

From this cut file set my favorite is the bunny with the tiny tail. So cute! I had to add a mommy and little girl rabbit with flowers to my layout.

I also created few Easter greetings cards with these bunnies, you can find them on my blog.

I hope my layout inspired you to create some spring or Easter themed projects. Don't forget to visit The Cut Shoppe etsy store and pick up this great set of cut file. Have a wonderful day and happy Easter!
