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!

Delightful Day Together | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here with you today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook.  I used the Delightful cut file from The Cut Shoppe, and I think it is just delightful used as a large title on my page!

For my layout, I used the Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection, along with a few items from my stash.  To begin the spread, I sized the cut file to about 8" high, so it would fit in the TN.  I cut it out using a striped patterned paper from the collection.  I love how it looks layered over the dot grid paper!  Next, I trimmed the cut file to fit in the traveler's notebook, so a portion was on each side of the page.

I added my photo and embellished around it with ephemera pieces, acetate, and stickers.  I also added some stamping.

Next, I trimmed an acetate piece to fit inside of the letter "D"  and layered another acetate piece and a puffy foam sticker over it.

To complete the title, I used a puffy phrase sticker and another sticker from my stash.  I added the journaling, stamped the date, and added a few more acetate pieces to finish off the layout.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I will see you again soon!

Happy | Traveler's Notebook Layout

Hello friends! I'm back with you again today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook. I used the Nothin' But Love Traveler's Notebook Decorative Page cut file that just released at The Cut Shoppe.

The Traveler's Notebook Decorative Page cut files make creating in a traveler's notebook so quick and easy, because they are sized to fit perfectly on a TN page.

To create this layout, I used mainly the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight collection I received in my February kit from Clique Kits. I chose to cut out the cut file using white cardstock so the cut file would stand out from the pink ombre paper. I absolutely adore the hearts on this cut file!

I layered some diecuts from the ephemera pack at the top and bottom of the page to add interest to these areas. I also added some stamping and machine stitching.

For the other side of the layout, I used another patterned paper from the Midnight collection as the background. Next, I added my photo and layered a frame and more ephemera pieces. I did some journaling on a label, and added some stamping and machine stitching to finish off the spread.

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Home

It's great to be back again today sharing a new layout in my ringed traveler's notebook.

I created this layout using the Felicity Jane Jeana digital kit along with some other Felicity Jane stamps and stickers from my stash.

I love the colors and theme of this kit and knew it would be perfect for documenting this photo of my home taken earlier this year.  My Bradford Pear tree was blooming and it's blooms almost looked like snow.

I sized the papers to 4.25" x 8.25" in Photoshop and printed them along with some of the digital ephemera and stamps that I knew I wanted to use on this spread.  I added the "my favorite place" digital stamp to the ombre paper before printing it.  I love this added detail!

I layered a piece of crate paper and some of the Jeana kit papers behind my photo, along with flowers from the kit that I had print and cut using my silhouette cameo.  Next, I stamped a few sentiments and a heart using one of my favorite Felicity Jane stamp sets.  I stapled one of the labels to the top of my photo for added interest and texture.

For the opposite page, I layered a tag and embroidery hoop, both from the digital ephemera.  I used puffy letter stickers for the title and added crochet thread to the tag. 

I love how this layout came together! 

Thanks for stopping by again today.  I have enjoyed sharing another layout with you!

So Happy Together

Hey friends!  I'm back today sharing my first design team project for The Cut Shoppe!

I was so excited to create a spread in my ringed traveler's notebook using the new Endless Summer Printable and the Tall Titles cut file that were both added to The Cut Shoppe this week.  

I opened the Endless Summer TN Printable - Autumn Rainbow paper in Photoshop and mirrored the image so the rainbow border would be the same on both sides of my spread.  I printed the Picnic Blanket printable paper and used it to cut out the Tall Titles word "together" and backed it with graph paper, one of my favorite prints to use in my TN.

I adhered an acrylic heart from Elle's Studio to add more interest and used some Pinkfresh Studio & Elle's Studio puffy letter stickers to finish off my title.

The photos I used were taken at my family's pond during our annual photo session.  It's always fun to capture some silly shots of my guys.

I used a variety of Pinkfresh Studio & Citrus Twist die cuts on my layout, adding foam to some of them for added dimension.  I used enamel dots, puffy hearts, and stamped the date and the "thankful" sentiment on a couple of the die cuts.

Thank you for stopping by today!  

Sweet Baby

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here again today sharing a layout in my traveler's notebook.

I just LOVE documenting my precious niece.  She is just too cute!  This photo was one of my favorites from her newborn photo session. 

I received a mini kit from The Wild Hare Kits and could not wait to use it.  It included a variety of Pinkfresh Studio die cuts, puffy stickers, chipboard, and a 6x6 paper pad.  I used some papers from the She Blooms collection by Illustrated Faith and a mini doily from Doodlebug Designs.

I love using chipboard on my layouts, but find it to be quite dimensional for my TN.  I peeled off a couple of layers of the chipboard and now it works perfectly- still dimensional but not too thick!

I layered some of the die cuts and puffy stickers, stamped the date, and added twine to the tag.  I used my tiny attacher to add a tab to the top of the spread. It's fun having things hang over the edge of the page!

For the title, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the word "Sweet" using a handwriting font and white cardstock.  Pinkfresh Studio white alpha stickers finished off the title.

I had fun adding another layout to my traveler's notebook!  Thanks for stopping by again today!  

Summer Fun

Hey everyone!  I'm back with another spread in my traveler's notebook using some fabulous summer digitals from Feed your Craft and In a Creative Bubble, along with some physical supplies.  This kit worked perfectly to document a recent trip with my youngest son to our local splash pad.

Using my Silhouette Studio software, I traced one of the digital stamps and then cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I love using a large title as a feature on a traveler's notebook spread!

I used Photoshop to alter the wording on one of the pdf images and then printed the pdf  that was included in the kit.  I love creating hybrid layouts because the elements can be customized to any color scheme or style.

I then added stamping and layered some tags, stickers, and acrylic stars- all the little details that make this spread even more fun.

I hope you will try adding a large title to your next TN layout!  Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Sun & Fun

Hello everyone!  You've got to start somewhere, right!?!  This is my first layout share in my little corner of the web.  I created a summer spread in my ringed traveler's notebook using the FREE Summer Sizzle printable from The Cut Shoppe- available in The Cut Shop Scrap Spot Facebook Group.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the images- printing several extras of the flamingo because he is just too cute!  I also used the Beach Bum cut file from The Cut Shoppe to cut the leaves, using both the positive and negative of the cuts and different patterned papers.  This gave the leaves more texture and dimension.

My journaling is on a tag that I tucked behind the photo.  I also did some stamping using a Feed Your Craft stamp set called Pattern Play.  This is one of my most used stamp sets because it can be used on any type or theme of layout.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon!  I have so many fun projects planned that I am excited to share with you!
