Grateful | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook.  I am loving any and all things fall-related right now, so I could not resist using the Fall Is Here cut file from The Cut Shoppe. 

Here's the project I created:

For my layout, I used mainly the Pink Paislee Truly Grateful collection by Paige Evans (from my October Citrus Twist Kits).

To begin the page, I sized the cut file to fit in my traveler's notebook.  I cut it out using white cardstock and used a variety of patterned papers to back the leaves on the file.  Next, I cut the cut file in half so that it would fit in my traveler's notebook.  I added my photo and used a puffy phrase sticker (trimmed in half to fit in my TN) for my title.

To embellish the page, I used ephemera pieces and puffy stickers.  I also added some stamping to a few areas on the page.

This traveler's notebook layout came together so quickly using this fun fall cut file!  Here's another look at my TN layout:

Fall | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the new Leaves Are Falling cut file, paired with the Fall Favorites Digital Stamp Set.  Fall is my favorite season, so I could not wait to create a spread using these fun designs from The Cut Shoppe!

Today, I am documenting a photo of my sons, taken last fall.  I thought the colors worked well with the Pink Paislee Again & Again collection.

To begin the layout, I sized the cut file to fit in my TN album and cut it out using white cardstock.  Next, I cut out the letters of the word "FALL" using a pink floral paper.  Rather than backing the cut file, I decided to use dimensional foam to add the letters.  I love how the cut file pops against the woodgrain patterned paper!

To finish off this page, I created a small cluster in the bottom corner using a phrase sticker, ephemera tag, and puffy stickers.

For the other side of my spread, I added my photo and backed it with patterned paper and vellum.  I used a tag and some puffy stickers to embellish around the photo.  I printed the word "favorite" from the digital stamps onto some vellum, trimmed it out, and stapled it to the photo.

Next, I printed a circular piece from the stamp set onto some vellum and punched it out.  I printed a leaf design, also from the stamp set, onto some patterned paper and fussy cut it out.  I adhered it to the center of the vellum piece.  I love this added pop of color and texture!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Make sure you check out the new digital stamps available at The Cut Shoppe.  They are perfect for using on their own on a project or pairing with a cut file.  See you again soon!

Travel | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my travel album.  I used the new Ready Set Go TN Decorative Page cut file that just released yesterday at The Cut Shoppe.

I was inspired by this cut file to create a layout for my New York City travel album.  The Pink Paislee Horizon collection, by Paige Evans, was perfect to pair with this cut file.

To begin my spread, I cut out the cut file using white cardstock.  I backed each letter with a patterned paper from the collection and backed the top portion of the file with a striped paper from my stash.  To complete the title, I used some pale pink puffy stickers.  I then added a few stickers to embellish the page and added some machine stitching. 

For the right side of the spread, I chose a photo from our NYC trip- our first time taking the Subway.  I trimmed some patterned papers and adhered them to the edge of the page, adding some machine stitching for interest and texture.  I layered some ephemera pieces and stickers around the photo to embellish this area.

I typed my journaling, trimmed it into strips, and adhered it to the layout.  I added the date using my favorite Heidi Swapp roller date stamp.

My layout came together so quickly using this cut file!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  I hope you will check out this cut file and the other TN Decorative Page cut files available at The Cut Shoppe!

The Ton's 4th Anniversary Blog Hop - Day 3

Hello & welcome! I am excited to be a part of The Ton's 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3! You should have arrived here from Tazhiana Gordon's blog.

The Ton is celebrating 4 years this month and Effie has introduced 9 new designs for this release. There are some free gifts with purchase promotions ongoing. Head over to The Ton Stamps' blog for more details. The Ton Stamps is also doing some giveaways! For more details, be sure to read to the bottom of this post.

I love Effie's designs and decided to make a traveler's notebook layout using the new Hustle and Grind Sentiments Set. The brush font on this set is awesome, and the empowering sentiments worked perfectly with the layout I chose to create documenting my 2019 goals.

To create this layout, I began by stamping a variety of triangle shapes from the stamp set to create my own patterned paper. This is one of my favorite ways to use stamps. I used The Ton Stamps Mini Ink Cubes in a variety of colors, including the Ruby Red, Orchid, and Amethyst Couture Minis Sets. I also used Ranger Archival Ink in Shadow Gray and Jet Black. I love the added interest this provides on the spread.

I stamped the word "husle" from the stamp set on vellum, trimmed it into a banner shape, and used my Tiny Attacher stapler to adhere it over the photo. I then stamped another sentiment from the set onto a label and added it below the photo. I love all of the sentiments on this stamp set!

For the other page of my layout, I stamped the title using a sentiment stamp from the set and Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black. I then stamped more of the triangle shapes from the set using the same ink colors I used on the other side of the spread. This helped to make the pages more cohesive. To embellish the spread, I added die cuts, labels, puffy hearts, and enamel dots.

Here is one final look at the completed project.

There is so much you can do with this set, and I look forward to creating with it again soon!

Absolutely Love

Hello again!  It's been a while!  I love sharing all of my crafty projects with you, and I hope to make blogging more of a priority in the new year.

I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog today sharing this fun traveler's notebook layout.  I used the Crazy Love cut file from The Cut Shoppe Etsy store to create this spread.

I used mainly the Citrus Twist December 2018 Main kit to create this layout.  I started by choosing the background paper, a patterned paper with a beautiful mixed media look but none of the work!  It is from the Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 collection.  I cut out the cut file using white cardstock and backed it with a navy dot paper.  I just love the bold look of this cut file!

I layered some die cuts and puffy stickers from the American Crafts Journal Studio collection, and added the other portion of my title using Pink Paislee Thickers.

For the other page, I used more of the die cuts to layer behind my photo.  I then used the puffy stickers, die cuts and an arrow paper clip to embellish the page.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you will come back soon to see the new projects I am creating!
