Hello Fall | The Cut Shoppe

Hi everyone,

Today I am back with you to share a new design team layout created for The Cut Shoppe! I have created a Fall themed layout today...

I used pieces from 2 different cut file sets to add to my layout today. I loved the Fall banner from the Feeling Fallish set and cut it out from the red paper in the Pretty Little Studio Oakley Avenue collection. I also used the top Autumn leaf from the Autumn Acres set and cut it out from the plaid paper from the same collection.

The Oakley Avenue collection by Pretty Little Studio was designed by Ashley Horton, the owner of The Cut Shoppe. Its a really cute collection for Fall projects and I love pulling it out to use. 

I love how the leaves turned out using the plaid paper! I machine stitched through them for some added texture and detail. I added some wood veneer leaves from my stash and I like how they blend in and add to the Fall theme.  

I love how the Fall banner looks in the red paper, it really pops off the page and makes a statement against the white paper. By adding the 'Hello' from the Oakley Avenue collection above it, it made the perfect title for my page! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Smile | Pinkfresh Studio Escape The Ordinary | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone,
Today I am back to share a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

This week I was inspired by some of the hexagon shaped elements included in this collection. So I pulled out my trusty hexagon punch that punches 2 size hexagons and punched a few from some of the different papers in the 6' x 6' paper pad.

I like how the different colours look mixed together in the hexagon shapes. I added a few triangle embellishments to break up the triangles a little bit. The butterflies in this collection are my absolute favourite so I just had to include my very last one that I was hoarding on this layout!

I have scrapped a photo of myself as I don't scrap myself all that often, I guess my family will want to remember what I looked like one day...well hopefully anyway ha! I mounted my photo on some Kraft cardstock...I like how it looked blended with the other colours. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure you check out the all new awesome Sassy store for delicious goodies that you just have to have!

Wander | Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

I have had this photo printed for so long and never really found anything that I liked to go with it until I was working with this awesome collection again the other day!

Outdoor photos are just perfect! 

 I started out by cutting out a leafy background cut file from white cardstock and then backed a couple of random leaves with one of the papers from the 6' x 6' paper pad. I then machine stitched the cut out down onto another sheet of white cardstock.

I popped the photo up with some foam tape and embellished mostly around the photo to draw your eye in. I picked out green, gold and hints of blue embellishments as they were the colours in the photo. I chose 'Wander' as my title using those super cool leatherette alphabet stickers!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure you check out the all new Sassy store...it has received a makeover and its awesome!

Wish | Make a Wish | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Cocoa Vanilla Studio for the 'Sew Good' theme this week!

We could either include machine stitching, hand stitching or even faux stitching! I decided to include my favourite - machine stitching! I love how machine stitching adds texture and interest to a page.

I used the gorgeous Make a Wish collection to document photos of my gorgeous niece Amelia's 1st birthday! I decided to use a cut file to mimic a present and backed the open spaces with some of the beautiful papers from this collection!

Once I had the papers backed behind the cut file, I then carefully and I mean carefully machine stitched around the outside edge of the present cut file.....you can see in the close up shots some of the detail! I then popped up the cut file using foam adhesive for extra dimension!

I included 2 photos and tucked them into the left side of the cut file and used Make a Wish embellishments to decorate my layout! The flair button is one of the exclusive flairs! I just love the vellum pieces from this collection...I used lots of these to add pops of colour poking out from the sides of the photos and the present cut file.

I then finished my layout off by machine stitching around the entire edge of my layout! Check out the Cocoa Vanilla store for the gorgeous Make a Wish collection and all the other pretties too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Grateful | The Cut Shoppe

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a Fallish themed design team layout created for The Cut Shoppe using the gorgeous new Cut and Fold Floral Leaf cut file!

The Cut and Fold Floral Leaf cut file

I decided to cut the cut file from white cardstock so that the colour underneath would pop through. I love how the pretty pink colour shows through after I folded the leaves back and stitched them down.

I used bits and pieces from both the Cedar Lane and Twilight collections by Pink Paislee from my stash for this page. The wood veneer leaves are also from my stash! 

I wanted to showcase loads of the gorgeous design of the cut file so I kept the focal point in the centre by placing my photo here and embellishing mainly just around the photo.

I added a little bit of black and gold mist to finish off!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Skate Life | Pinkfresh Studio Escape The Ordinary | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

This paper I have chosen for my background, is my absolute favourite paper from this collection! I just love how different and out there it is! I think it suits a skate boarding photo perfectly!  

I matted my photo with one of the papers from the 6' x 6' paper pad and adhered it to the top row of triangles. I then pulled out all the embellishments that suited the skate boarding photo....things like Adventure, Fearless, Go Where You Feel Alive etc.

I added lots of the chipboard and puffy triangle stickers to further enhance the triangles in the paper, I also stamped the 'You're a Star' using the Escape the Ordinary stamp set. Lots of the small die cut stars and some black mist finished off my page!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Make sure to check out the Sassy store for this collection and loads more that may take your fancy!

Happy creating!

Choose Your Own Path | Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone,
Today I am back to share a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

I started off this week with a blank sheet of white cardstock and I wanted to add some mixed media in colours that matched and went with the Escape The Ordinary collection. I didn't put any gesso down first and went ahead and did the packaging technique using some watercolours to achieve the colour wash effect.  

White the cardstock was drying, I drew some different size triangles freehand in my Silhouette Cameo software and chose some of the papers from the 6' x 6' paper pad to cut them out from. I then placed them horizontally across my page with the points both upright and facing down also.

I then machine stitched through the centre on the horizontal in black thread to add some definition and texture. The photo I am documenting is one of my eldest son going to his Year 7 camp earlier this year..it was definitely perfect to use with this collection as it has an outdoor feel to it. 

I then embellished using the chipboard stickers, ephemera, cardstock stickers and puffy stickers. The You'll Move Mountains' and 'Choose Your Own Path' are both popped up on foam tape for some dimension. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Check out the Sassy store for this awesome collection plus so much more too!
