Dashing through the SNOW! // Audrey Yeager

Are you in the holiday spirit?  I love scrapping the Christmas holiday and winter photos, and there are so many great cut files in the store.  I used the new "Sleigh Ride" cut file from the store along with the "Season's Greetings" file for my title:

Sleigh Ride

Season's Greetings

I began by cutting my sleigh from the Sleigh Ride cut file from gold foiled cardstock.  I first cut the title from white cardstock, but later changed it to navy.  I backed the sleigh with red patterned paper.

Next, I began adding some gesso to my background papers, and cutting a "hill" shape from my tree patterned paper. 

I tucked my photo into the sleigh and added some die cut presents, candy cane stickers, and a machine stitched Christmas tree die cut behind it.

To jazz up my sleigh even more, I added a tiny set of single bells to the front, and some layered flowers from my stash.

Finally, I added some due cut snow flakes, tiny house stickers on the hill, and my title near the sleigh.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday files!

A World of Octobers - Audrey Yeager

Hello everyone!  I am excited to share this fall themed page with you with this adorable cut file called "World of Octobers".

World of Octobers

I began by cutting most of the title from white cardstock, but separating out the word "October" and the leaf and cutting those separaetly.  I covered the background with white gesso and then went over the page with some mixed media sprays.

After that was day, I backed each letter with a different colored patterned paper.

I fussy cut some leaves from other patterned paper, and matted my photos. 

I cut the title from a deep purple cardstock, added a few sequins and other stickers, and I was finished!

You can see the entire process in the video below!  Thanks for watching!

Extraordinary | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cut Shoppe friends,

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the awesome new Extraordinary cut file! 

The Extraordinary cut file 

I cut the design out from white cardstock and then added some craft foam underneath the cut file and stuck it down onto another piece of white cardstock. I also cut out all the insert pieces from the patterned papers with the Cameo so that I could add them back in. 

I just love the depth and shadows the cut file design gives from the dimension from the pop dots, its an effective look with the patterned papers sitting flat on the background too. I added a photo of my littlest man to the biggest star at the bottom. This boy is exactly that too....Extraordinary! He is the dream child, always thinking of others, kind, loving, smart and funny! The Teen Spirit collection by Echo Park paper was perfect to put with this cut file. I love the bright colours against the white of the cut file design.

I kept the embellishing minimal because of the title taking up lots of room and being one of the main focal points. I added a few phrase sticker, die-cuts, enamel dots, cork shapes and wood veneer pieces to enhance the design. Some of the die- cuts I did pop up but others I added just flat to the page.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to create a project using one of the awesome large title cut files in The Cut Shoppe...there are loads to choose from so go and check out the store!

Happy creating!

Bloom

Hello there!

Nathalie here with a new project that features the beautiful Funky Florals cut file, as well as the free cut file from Scrapbook Nerd, "Bloom" designed by the Cut Shoppe.

It is no secret I love white backgrounds for my pages,   and this  time, i chose to also use white cut outs  for the rest of the layout.  So I cut one of the floral images from the Funky Floral cut file from white cardstock, and backed the cuts with papers from the Oh MY Heart Collection.

Using foam dots, the flowers were attached to the page following a circular pattern -as to create wreaths.  The picture was then glued in the gap between the two wreaths.

For this page title, I continued the white on white design, and chose the Bloom cut file from Scrapbook Nerd ( the Cut Shoppe designs all their free cut files).   Once again, I used papers from the Oh My Heart collection to back the center of the flowers in the cut.

Just a few extra embellishments around the page complete the layout.  The secret to bring a white on white layout to life is all on dimension, a few hints of color are always nice too.

I hope this inspires you to visit the Cut Shoppe Etsy Store, and check the designs available at the store.  There are so many beautiful cut files to chose from.

Thanks for stopping by!
