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!

Fabulous NYE | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  Marsha here again today sharing a traveler's notebook layout.  I was excited to document my New Year's Eve photos, and I decided to use the fun New Year Countdown cut file from The Cut Shoppe as a feature on my spread.

For this layout, I began by cutting out the cut file using white cardstock.  I trimmed the cardstock to fit in my TN album and backed the numbers and "Happy New Year" with black cardstock, so that it would stand out on the page.  I decided not to use the star and 2019 that was in the center of the cut file, but instead trimmed my fireworks photo into a circular shape and placed it in the center.  I love how this turned out!  For the title, I used a gold glitter word and puffy alpha stickers.  I added labels, glitter stars, and some stamping to embellish.

For the other side of the layout, I began by printing my photos in black and white into a collage.  They were not the best quality photos, so I didn't mind printing them at a smaller size.  It also allowed me to get more photos on the spread.  I layered some patterned papers behind the photos and added ephemera pieces, stamping, and puffy stickers to embellish.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Make sure you check out the amazing cut file designs at The Cut Shoppe store.  I will see you again soon!

Best Pals- Thin Line Alpha Cut File- Audrey Yeager

Hi everyone!  I went through the store to find a fun alpha to use on my boy page (and there are LOTS to choose from!  I went with The Thin Line Alpha and cut the word "Pals" on my page below:

The Thin Line Alpha:

This page was also a stash buster!  I first went through my stash to find some colors that I wanted to use.  I was struggling at first with a page design, but one of my goals was to use more patterned paper.  So I just layered some big rectangles of the patterns I liked with the photo on top in a frame.

Then I fussy cut out some stars and others from my stash.

Circle embellishments on the edges help soften the flow of the design.

Some details with border stamps and machine stitching.

Finally, the cut file I used to cut the word "Pals".  I was worried that cutting the letters this size with all the detail they have would be tricky, but they cut so beautifully from patterned paper!

Thanks so much for looking and go check out all the Alpha Cut Files in the store!

Everyday Cute by Joanna

Hi friends, Joanna Bandelin here today. I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook page of my sweet girl in her adorable Minnie Mouse sunglasses. I used the new Geo Frame cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I chose to make the frame a large background and filled the page with lots of fun stickers from the Willow Lane collection by Maggie Holmes.

I cut the frame with some pattern paper and layered it on the white background.  I placed the photo right in the center and built my clusters around it.

I used a large glitter thicker for my title and added some chipboard stickers for lots of dimension on  my page.

I love how the cut file blends into the background and adds lots of interest. 

Thanks for stopping by!

GUEST DESIGNER | Jessica Upton

I am so excited to introduce you to our January Guest Designer!  Please welcome the awesomely talented, Jessica Upton owner of Color Cast Designs!  I have had the chance to work with Jessica and she is the sweetest, and I love the fun products in her store.  She also shares some amazing work on Social Media and I was so happy when she said she could join us this month!

Let's get to know a little bit about Jessica, before we see what she created!

I’m living my best life in the country near Colordo Springs with my husband and 3 kids. My oldest is graduating from High School this year, so much change heading our way as she leaves the nest. I have been scrapbooking for 17 years and about 6 years ago made my favorite hobby into a business, Color Cast Designs! Other than scrapbooking, I love photography, camping, off roading, reading and all things that involve horses!  

I saw The messy circles and knew immediately that I wanted to use them to make a background for a spread in my daughters senior photo album. I contemplated coloring them, but decided to keep them white as I really loved how they popped on the coral background.

I also used a few digital stamps to make my own embellishments to add onto a few circles. I love the impact of the background with my full size photo.

Thank you so much for having me as a guest! 

Thanks for sharing with us Jessica!! It's always fun to see the cut files used on different project types and the Around and Around cut file looks great in your Traveler's Notebook!.  Make sure you are following Jessica on Social Media.  You can find her HERE on Instagram and you can also check out her store, Color Cast Designs. 

 

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!

Sweet Summer Time | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends,

It's Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing a new Summer layout! Its currently very hot down here in Australia so a Summer layout it is today! 

I used the Sweet Summer Time freebie cut file that was included in the June 27th 2019 newsletter. 

Sweet Summer Time cut file

I cut the cut file design out from white cardstock and then backed the title parts with 2 different patterned papers from the Sunny Days 6' x 8' pad. I used the pink in 'Summer' to make it stand out just a little bit more. For the spikes of the sun, I chose a yellow paper from the 6' x 8' paper pad.  

Once it was all backed, I adhered it down to another piece of white cardstock. I then matted my photo with another of the 6' x 8' papers and adhered it to the bottom right of my page. I then started to embellish using chipboard pieces, die-cuts and stickers and puffy stickers.

The 'Vacay Vibes' die-cut piece was perfect underneath the 'Time' word and I just had to add the teal coloured chipboard car here too! A few of the other chipboard embellishments I added are the shell on the left, the heart at the top and the 'Sunkissed' piece right at the top too.
