Bend Up Flower Petals Layout by Ashley Neu


Hello scrappy friends! It’s Ashley Neu here for the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team to share my next layout featuring the Bend Up Flower Petals Cut File paired with the Blooming Wild collection.
To begin, I cut the cut file from Paper 24 and then bent up the petals one by one. I adhered this paper onto a piece of pink cardstock. I printed 5 photos at 1.75” square leaving a thin white border. I tucked each photo slightly underneath some petals, grouping 2 photos on the bottom left side of the flower. This is where I wanted the main focus to be of the layout. I grabbed the Sticker Book and found the “beautiful” sticker to use as the title. I anchored the title with a sentiment from the Cardstock Stickers. To build up a cluster by these two photos, I added in some florals from the Cardstock Stickers as well as the Mini Flower Puffy Stickers. Next to each of the other 3 photos, I kept the embellishing similar to the other two photos by adding in florals and sentiment stickers. To finish off each photo cluster, I used some Pops of Color in White.
I love the dimension this layout has because of the amazing Bend Up Flower Petals Cut File! I hope you have found some inspiration in this layout. Thank you for stopping by Paige’s blog today!

Spring is in the Air Layout by Sophie Delorme


Hello friends! It's Sophie Delorme here with you today! I'm excited to share my first layout for the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team! I used the Spring is in the Air from the 20 Spring Cut Files paired with the beautiful Blooming Wild collection.
I decided to create a watercolor background behind the cut file. I hand stitched the letters of "SPRING" with white thread and added foam adhesive behind the patterned paper letters to make them stand out more. I also backed the flowers with matching papers from the collection. I used a black and white photo to create a soft look and not compete with the colorful title.
I hope that you like it and that you're inspired to check out the Spring is in the Air from the 20 Spring Cut Files along with the beautiful Blooming Wild collection! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spring Layout by Monique Lowe


Thursday, April 11, 2024

Hi creative friends! Monique Lowe here sharing my first layout for the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team! My page includes a large Spring Title from the 20 Spring Cut Files as well as the Daisy Halves Cut File. I’ve brought them to life using the Blooming Wild collection and hints of Bloom Street.
I wanted to create something colorful and filled with springtime joy to document our DIY garden renovation from a few years ago. First, I cut both designs from white cardstock then backed the title with a rainbow of patterned papers. To help the cut files pop I added chain stitching in coordinating colors to some of the text, as well as doodled lines using a black fine tip pen. For the background, I blended a variety of Distress Oxides to match my title then dabbed the background with water to create a faux watercolor effect. I backed my photos with torn vellum and matching patterned papers. To embellish, I fussy cut butterflies from Paper 16. Finally, I tucked in a few stamped tabs from the Sticker Book, added some sparkly gems, a few confetti flowers, and French knots to the cut file daisies.
This page fills me with joy! I hope you feel inspired to get creative documenting your Spring memories with the 20 Spring Cut Files and Blooming Wild too! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spring is in the Air Layout by Inessa Persekian


Wednesday, April 10, 2024

Hi friends, this is Inessa Persekian (paperandbling on social media!) sharing my first project as part of the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team! I used her Blooming Wild collection and Spring is in the Air from the 20 Spring Cut Files!
I’m all about spring and looking forward to warmer weather. For now I can reminisce with this layout. I love looking back at photos of when my kiddos were younger. This layout comes together pretty quickly. I backed the Spring is in the Air from the 20 Spring Cut Files with a variety of patterned papers from Blooming Wild and accented the flowers with flower ephemera for extra oomph.
I hope you are inspired to pick up the Blooming Wild collection and Spring is in the Air from the 20 Spring Cut Files! Have a fabulous day and see you next time!

Floral Wreath Layout by Danielle Miller


Hi friends! Danielle Miller here today sharing my first design team layout! This is a bright and cheery spring layout made with Paige's Splendid collection and Flower Wreath Cut File!
I started by matting my two photos on white cardstock. I then perused the Splendid collection for papers that brought out the colors in my photos. This was quite easy as the Splendid collection and these photos of my daughter match so well. I chose a paper from the Project Pad as my background paper. I then took the 6x8 Paper Pad and chose multiple options from there to back the cut file. When it was time to embellish I looked to all the embellishments for some complementary colors to add to the flowers. I love to find elements that can add dimension to the cut file. The title is from a mix of the Epoxy Stickers and the Mini Foam Thickers. I also added Cardstock Stickers and some gorgeous ephemera from both the Floral Die Cuts and Ephemera Die Cuts. I hope you are inspired to play with Paige's Splendid collection and her Flower Wreath Cut File!

Just a Girl & Her Flowers Layout by Paige Evans


Monday, April 8, 2024

Here is the finished layout that we made in today's Make With Me Monday featuring stitched paper hearts! 
 I used my Garden Shoppe collection and a heart cut file/template to make the hearts and had fun hand stitching them with coordinating threads. I chose to make my hearts from the black/white floral Paper 5, multicolor floral Paper 2, dark floral Paper 11, dark floral Paper 20, green daisies Paper 8, and yellow floral Paper 21. For the background I used the ombre pink Paper 5 and splattered white acrylic paint as well as Pastel DreamsTropicals, and Vintage Pastels watercolors on top.

Floral Globe Layout by Yui Oku


Hi everyone! Yui Oku here today with a new layout using Paige's Floral Globe Cut File along with Blooming Wild!
To make this layout, first I cut the Floral Globe from white cardstock and then spent time backing all the flowers and leaves. After backing the little pieces I backed the round globe part with vellum and then floral Paper 7. I added my photo on top and then embellished with lots more flowers from the Floral Die Cuts and. Ephemera Die Cuts. I embellished with bits and pieces from the Cardstock StickersSticker Book, and Chipboard Stickers.
It took a time to back the small parts in the globe, but worth it! I hope you are inspired to play with the Blooming Wild collection and Paige's Birdhouse from the 20 Spring Cut Files!
