The Cut Shoppe: Floral Wreath, Happy Times!

Hi Lovelies! 

Today I am sharing my final project for The Cut Shoppe Design Team!

I have absolutely LOVED creating for this awesome team, 

and wish Ashley & The Cut Shoppe all the very best! 

 For my final layout, I have created a super pretty Spring inspired number with the gorgeous new Floral Wreath cut file!

Teamed with the beautiful and bright Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness collection, this layout is a floral dream!

Here's my layout,

"Happy Times"

Oh isn't this gor-jus?!!

The new Floral Wreath is simply stunning! 

I have cut the wreath in white cardstock, and backed it with two of the Happiness 6 x 8" Paper Pad papers. 

Here's a better look at the Floral Wreath......

LOVE!!!!! Absolute floral perfection!

Here's a closer view of my layout.....

To create soft dimension & interest to my wreath, I fold some of the flower petals upwards. I also embellish some of the flower centers with fussy cut butterflies, die cuts, sequins and even a flair button! 

So very pretty! The sequins are the 'Dragon Tales' mix from Spiegelmom Scraps, and they add just the right amount of sparkle to this girly page! 

So my photo isn't lost among all those bright & beautiful florals, I print it in black & white, and also mount it with a die cut frame. Perfect!

I layer my title, happy times, over the wreath too! 

And for finishing touches, I surround the Floral Wreath with hearts and more of those gorgeous sequins! 

And there you have it! 

Spring perfection! 

I hope you feel inspired to use this cut file in your creating!

The Cut Shoppe: All Heart

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome back for more super fun, digital cut file inspiration!

Today I am sharing a cute & sweet layout of my two darlings with 

The Cut Shoppe's,  All Heart file....

"Here Together"

Isn't this adorable?!!

I have combined the All Heart file with the beautiful Pinkfresh Studio: Everyday Musings collection. So bright & beautiful! A really cute & fun page! & those colors just scream Spring! 

The All Heart cut file is one of my all-time favorites! 

Here's a closer look at it....

Such a fabulous design! & you can never have too many hearts! 

Get the All Heart digital cut file from The Cut Shoppe HERE.

Here's a few close up shots of my layout....

Those hearts are really something! 

Loving the mixed colored alphas over the red ones - so fun!  

I layered my sweet framed photo through the center of the design, and embellished it with a few stickers. You'll notice that I kinda filled the hearts in rainbow order, so to draw more attention to my photo, I only used blue embellishments. So striking!

The All Hearts file is ALL kinds of awesomeness! 

I hope my layout has inspired you to use it too!

The Cut Shoppe: Tic Tac XO - I Like You Lots!

Hi Happy Arty Days Friends!

Welcome back for more digital cut file inspiration with my latest creation for The Cut Shoppe! 

Today I am sharing more of the love theme for February!

What can I say, I love all the heart day things!

Here's my layout of my two darlings being very sweet together,

"I Like You Lots"

Nawww! SO adorable!

I have featured the awesome Tic Tac XO cut file & combined it with the Crate Paper: Main Squeeze and La la Love lines. Super sweet!

That Tic Tac XO digital cut file is all kinds of awesomeness!

Here's a closer look at it...

Such a fun design - LOVE!!!

Grab the Tic Tac XO cut file from The Cut Shoppe HERE.

I've cut it with Main Squeeze pattern paper, Spark, and machine stitched the grid lines onto the white cardstock base.

I just adore the tiny hearts pattern paper! Perfect for this larger designed background cut file!

I 'fill' the empty squares of the design with chipboard & ephemera pieces,

and layer my photo onto the heart center.

Lots of pretty heart embellishments adorn my central photo! You'll spy chipboard, glitter, stickers, die cut ephemera and even puffy sticker hearts embellishing this cluster. Love it! 

SO super adorable! 

Those smiley heart faces are perfect for my happy two, & are just the cutest! 

I like you lots, indeed! 

Such a darling layout for my two cherubs! 

I hope you liked my layout, & feel inspired to use the Tic Tac XO cut file in your love theme projects!

The Cut Shoppe: Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Friends! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I am sharing a sweet Happy Hearts Day page for The Cut Shoppe. 

( 'cos there's no such thing as too many hearts, right? ) 

This one is a super sweet n fun, mom & son layout.....

"Happy Valentine's Day"

Sigh! Such a sweetheart! Love this boy! 

I have featured the fabulous Cross My Heart cut file, and combined it with Crate Paper's Main Squeeze collection. Such a fun & playful page! 

Here's a better look at the Cross My Heart file....

Awesome, huh?!

Such a fun digital file, & it also comes in a 12" x 12" size in the same download. 

Get yours from The Cut Shoppe HERE. 

Here's a few close ups for you.....

Nawww! So Sweet, indeed!

I have backed the cut file with the Specialty Red Glitter Hearts Cardstock. 

Love those tiny sparkly hearts! Super effective! 

I foam mount the Cross My Heart file to the white cardstock base, creating both gentle dimension & interest. I then embellish the cut file hearts with a few Puffy Stickers from the Main Squeeze collection - aren't those rainbow ones just adorable?!!

My photo cluster and titles are layered over the mounted cut file, & I embellish the layout with a few more hearts. Perfect! 

So simple, SO SWEET!

The Cut Shoppe: XOXO With Love!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more The Cut Shoppe digital cut file inspiration!

Today I'm sharing a Happy Heart Day themed layout featuring the awesome With Love file!

"XOXO"

Sigh!!!! 

All.the.heart.eyes for these two darlings! 

Absolutely gorgeous!!! 

And the best part? 

The With Love file is a FREE one! Yessss! 

Love me a freebie!

Here's a closer look at the file.....

Download your Freebie FriYAY With Love cut file HERE. 

Let's take a closer look at all this Valentine's sweetness......

I cut the With Love file in a pretty watermelon red cardstock, then back it with pattern papers from Crate Paper's Main Squeeze collection. Using my Fine Liner, I glue the back of the cut file - but only along the outline of the large heart. I attach it to my big photograph, and once dry, I fold all the connecting smaller hearts (a bit like butterfly wings) & then fussy cut the excess photo away. 

The result is simply stunning!!! 

The large black and white photo is so striking against all that pink & red! 

& I just love the texture and dimension the folded hearts create!

For added interest, I create a light layer of mixed media to mount the With Love file & photograph onto. I've used Shimmerz Paints Vibez in Sweetheart & Razzeldazzel Berry around the edge of where the heart  will be positioned. So many pretty splatters and droplets! 

**Remember if you're shopping in the Shimmerz Paints store HERE to type code AMANDA in the comments section of your order to receive a FREE paint** 

(no minimum spend, not valid with any other offers & code has unlimited order use) 

I use the glossy black Main Squeeze 6 x 12 Puffy Phrase Stickers for my title, & subtitles. The remainder of my layout is lots of embellishing with an assortment of puffy hearts, heart stickers, glitter hearts and even sequins! 

Simple, sweet & a perfect cut file for any of your Heart Day projects!

I hope I've inspired you today!

Thanks so much for visiting, 

Hope you all have a very Happy Heart Day on the 14th! 

Happy Arty Days,

Amanda xo
