Grateful Heart | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here today with a fun traveler's notebook layout.  I used the new Background Check TN Decorative Page cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

For this layout, I mainly used the Everyday Musings and Joyful Day collections by Pinkfresh Studio.  To begin the spread, I cut out the frame portion of the cut file using white cardstock.  I then backed each section with a different patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pads.  The smaller patterns in these paper pads are perfect for backing cut files!  Next, I adhered the cut file to a piece of woodgrain patterned paper and a cardstock base, trimmed to fit in my album. 

I added ephemera, cardstock stickers, and puffy stickers to embellish the frames, using foam dots to add dimension to some of the pieces.

For the other side of the layout, I layered patterned papers behind my photo and used ephemera and puffy stickers to embellish around the photo.  

A white acrylic piece from Color Cast Designs, layered over a tag, worked perfectly as a title for the spread.

I love how this page came together using this traveler's notebook cut file!  

Thank you for joining me today!  I hope you will check out this and the other fun cut files available in The Cut Shoppe store!

Hey friends!  I'm back today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the Hexagon Heart cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Heart cut files are my favorite ones to use on layouts.  When I saw this geometric heart, I couldn't resist using it in a big way on my spread.

For this layout, I used mainly the Pinkfresh Studio Joyful Day collection.  I began the page by using my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the file using white cardstock.  I backed the cut file with some pink striped patterned paper from my stash.

Next, I layered some patterned paper behind my photo, and added some ephemera pieces and puffy stickers around the photo.  I also fussy cut a few elements from the patterned papers in this collection and added them to the page.  A large "happiness" puffy sticker serves as my title.

I added a small embellishment cluster at the top of the other page, using more ephemera pieces and puffy stickers.  How cute is that little pinwheel?!?  I wish there had been more of those in the pack!

At this point, I felt like the page was missing something, so I tore the background paper in two spots and added some patterned paper behind the torn areas.  To finish off the spread, I splattered some white acrylic paint.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will try using a large cut file on your next project!
