The Cut Shoppe: Love

Today on The Cut Shoppe blog, I have a layout using some of the fun new cut files!  I fell in love with the 12x12 X to the O background cut file!  I used an ombre pattern from Bella Blvd's Valentina collection. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but I love how it looks!  

I used the Kitchy Cursive Alphabet Cut File for my title as well as added coordinating stickers and sequins.

I have a pretty large stash of sequins from my Teresa Collins Designs collections and I love adding them to layouts!  I also used a cut out wood veneer heart from Freckled Fawn! 

Showing more of the coordinating stickers from Valentina....for more shine, I used a gold photo clip by Studio Calico. 

Thank you for stopping by tonight!  Check out all of the fun files at The Cut Shoppe on Etsy!  Have a wonderful night!

Clear Scraps: Woof! Mixable Album

Happy Monday! Today on the Clear Scraps blog I have a mini album using the new 

Woof Mixable Album which is perfect for photos of your favorite canine!  I love our little pug, Max and he is the star of my album!  I used Echo Park Paper's Bark collection to decorate this cute mini. 

The first page is an acrylic word which I colored with red alcohol ink and lined with white paint.  

The next page is a chipboard shaped bone with fits a wallet sized photo perfectly.  I covered the page with patterned paper. 

On the backside of the page, I added a spot for journaling. I created a pockket out of patterned paper as well as added a cute coordinating sticker on top.  

I used a kraft tag to type up some info about our sweet puggie and added ribbon from May Arts. 

Next up is an acrylic page shaped as a fire hydrant!  I again used red alcohol ink to color the page and then embellished.  

I covered this heart shaped chipboard page in paw print patterned paper. I used white acrylic paint to line the edges after using a sanding tool to smooth any excess paper.  

The last page is an acrylic shaped dog house with a paw print cut out of the middle.  So cute!  

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you'll check out all of the new product at the Clear Scraps shop!  

Have a great night!

The Cut Shoppe: Wish

Hello! So sorry I haven't blogged since the blog hop! The holidays were busy and I've been working on some projects for upcoming DT assignments!

Also, I accepted a position as social media coordinator for Teresa Collins!  I have been a huge fan of Teresa's for over ten years so I'm excited and honored to help promote her company.  I love her as a person as well as admires how she inspires others to craft and tell their life stories!  

Today, I have a layout up on The Cut Shoppe blog using a cute, new birthday themed cut file set! When I saw this, I knew I wanted to scrap this photo of my adorable niece! I took this at her birthday party in November...she was so excited to blow out her candles!  I love the look on her face! 

Here is the cut file set I used:  Party On. As you can see you have many shapes/phrases to choose from.  I love the circle/star wish file as well as the cute banners. 

I used the "wish" file as my title and layered it on top of the ephemera from Maggie Holmes' Confetti collection. 

Using the banner file,  I made multiple cuts from different patterns and layered across the bottom of my page. I then stitched through with my sewing machine.  

Showing some of the many embellishments that coordinate with Confetti...including chipboard, stickers, and ephemera pieces.  

I created another banner across the top of my page as well...I am a big fan of using them!  

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll check out The Cut Shoppe on Etsy to see this and many more great cut files!
