Happy spring layout for THE CUT SHOPPE
Thursday, March 26, 2020
Hey friends,
it's Lisa on the blog and today I'm sharing my last layout for TheCutShoppe.
The cutfile I'm using is called Happy spring, you can find it by clicking on this link. :)
For this layout, I wanted to use very bright spring colors, so I chose pink, yellow and mint. I went through my paper scrap stash and chose all the ones that I thought would look good together, then I traced all the letters on the mint and pink papers and cut them out.
For my background, I created three stripes of color, using acylics, on a white cardstock sheet. Then I adhered my letters to the mint and pink sections. I wasn't careful with the placement of the letters, I wanted them to be a bit crooked, so that when I placed the cutfile on top, they would't match perfectly. If you have been following me for a while, I'm sure you know that I like doing this. I like when the letters peek out from the sides.
The yellow section was still empty at this point. I wanted to place my photo there but I also needed something else to fill up more space. So I went back to my cutfiles and used one of the flowers from the Spring Flowers cutfile. I backed it, as well as my photo, with a yellow patterned paper. I thought it would be cool if the flower had a stem going down to the green section. So I cretated a stem with leaves and a cute little knot.
I went through my stash and chose a lot of cute little details to add. Stickers, ephemera pieces... I added them all to the corresponding section. To finish I splattered some paint.
I hope you like how it turned out.
I want to thank Ashley Horton again for giving me the chance to work with her great cutfiles.
Don't forget that you can still purchase cutfiles on the CutShoppe website!!! :)

Better together for THE CUT SHOPPE
Tuesday, November 12, 2019
Hey scrappy friends,
today I'm sharing a new layout I made using a beautiful new cutfile. It's called FALL FLOWERS and is available on the CutShoppe website.
I cut it out of orange cardstock and to back it, I used yellow cardstock. I let my Silhouette machine cut out the yellow backing piece, which I had created by selecting only the contours of the flowers. That way, it was faster and I didn't need to hand-cut it.
As you can see on the photo, when I adhered the pieces to my white cardstock, I placed the orange piece slightly higher than the yellow piece, which makes the contours of the yellow piece peek our and I think this gives a very cool look. For the centers of the flowers, I used a scalloped circle punch and punched them out of different bright pink patterned papers.
Then I placed an embellishemnent in each of the centers. I used gems, buttons and brads. I really like the look that it gives and I adore the pink, yellow and orange colors together. Of course, I also needed to frame my layout... I used a cardstock sheet with the same color as the bright pink flower centers.
I matted my photo on some scraps of paper and added it to the layout. I wanted to bring some mint color in and also to do a bit of mixed media but I loved the layout so much so far and I was scared to ruin it... :) So I used some clear stickers from my stash which had splatters and splotches in different colors. I used some of those behind my photo and also on the sides of the layout.
Then I added my title. I used gold chipboard stickers saying: "Better Together". I also added this cute little pink cat from the latest Dear Lizzy collection.
To add more mint color, I cut out some simple leaves and adhered them next to some flowers. Then I added some clear bee stickers and black splatters and I was done.
Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon! :)

HUGS AND KISSES layout for Pink and Paper
Monday, May 14, 2018
Hi friends, it's Lisa back on the blog today :)
Last time, I used the boy part of the cute Pebbles Night Night collection to make my layout. This time, I'm using the girl part.
Again, I wanted to make a layout that wasn't in the theme of this collection at all. The Night Night collection is a baby collection, but since I don't have baby photos to scrap, I used the elements of the collection that weren't screaming 'baby':)
So, as you can see, you can easily use baby collections for totally different layouts.
To start, I did a little bit of mixed media on the background, using distress oxides. I thinned them out whit white ink spray and water and smooshed them on the paper with a piece of plastic packaging.
Then I made gold, pink and teal splatters all around the page.
I took four little photos of myself, that I backed on some of the patterned papers from the collection.
Then I used a lot of embellishments to scatter all around... Cardboard stickers, puffy stickers, ephemera and gold thickers.
I attached some of the embellishments directly on the page and some of them I adhered with foam squares, to make them pop.
I really love how the page turned out. I was really easy to make and as you can see, not baby related at all. I love all the cute designs of this collection and the soft pastel colors.
Hope to see you here again, thank you so much for stopping by today :)
