Snoopy Trail Layout by Jackie Ashton

Hello! Jackie Ashton here sharing a layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection, this time creating a layout full of layers, texture, and little details.

In the UK over the summer months, several towns and cities do an art trail - each place using a different animal or character all decorated. These sculptures are placed around the city and you follow a trail to find them. This summer where I live they did Snoopy sculptures. It helps local charities make additional funds and give people the chance to visit parts of the city that you might not have visited before! For my layout, I started with a sheet of white cardstock and added a soft color wash of blue ink down the center. For the main design, I selected several designs from the 12x12 Paper Pack and cut them into strips ranging from 1" to 3" wide. After distressing the edges, I cut the strips down lengthways and arranged them down the center of the page, staggering the different lengths to create movement and interest. I also tucked lace trim over the paper strips which adds a lovely touch of texture and softness. My 3x2" photograph was backed with a few coordinating pieces of patterned paper before being added to the page using 3D foam. I love using foam to lift my photograph slightly from the page and give the layout a little extra dimension. To the right of the photograph, I added a vellum envelope. I printed the photographs of the sculptures into photo strips to tuck into the envelope. I decorated the front of the envelope with a few scraps of patterned paper and an Ephemera Die Cut, making the envelope part of the overall design while still keeping it functional and this is a great way to hold multiple photographs on your layout without it being too crowded. For even more texture, I added stamped and hand-stitched circles alongside circle Chipboard Stickers before finishing the page with a scattering of embellishments from Crafted Moments. I love how all the different layers, textures, and small details come together to create a layout that feels dimensional without becoming too busy. I hope you get some inspiration from my layout!

The Beauty of Now (Butterflies Wreath) Layout by Paige Evans

Hi scrappy friends! Here is another layout we made on the Alaskan Cruise & Crop using my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio and featuring my Butterflies Wreath Cut File. The class PDF with instructions for this layout (including the digital download for this cut file and all the other ones I used), plus (13) more 12x12 layouts and a mini album can be purchased HERE.

Before adding the Butterflies Wreath Cut File I splattered paints across the background of the light blue cardstock to create movement and texture. I topped the Butterflies Wreath Cut File with fussy cut butterflies and butterflies from the Floral Die Cuts. In the empty space on the cut file I added a photo and clustering of embellishments such as Puffy Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, Chipboard Stickers, and Cardstock Stickers.

A sprinkling of Metallic Enamel Dots around the butterflies adds another layer of interest and a pop of shine! Thanks for stopping by today! Let me know if you have any questions and have a happy scrappy day!

Love Blooms Here Layout by Inessa Persekian

Hey friends, Inessa Persekian here and today I’m sharing a colorful layout using Paige's Love Blooms Here Cut File and her Crafted Moments collection! I love how this one came together!

I started with the mini floral Create Your Way Paper for my background then layered on white textured cardstock trimmed to 11x11" along with a little border of the navy floral Dream In Color Paper. That little navy border adds just enough contrast to help the layout pop, while also pulling in more of the purple tones from the cut file. I cut the Love Blooms Here Cut File from white cardstock and used papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to back the letters. But I also wanted to try something a little different. I printed four of my photos at 2x3 and used the photos to back four of the letters instead of patterned paper. I absolutely love how this turned out! It’s such a fun way to work more photos into your layout while still making the cut file the main focus. Before adding the cut file to my background, I added a little pink ink behind it. I simply used a dauber and lightly smudged the ink onto the cardstock in a circular motion. Since I was working with a white cut file on white cardstock, that little bit of color really helped define the cut file and make it stand out from the background. Once everything was layered together, I finished the layout with a mix of Floral Die Cuts, Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers, and colorful Enamel Shapes. I love mixing all of those little embellishments together and sprinkling them around the layout for those final pops of color. I think this layout turned out really, really beautiful, and I especially love the photos tucked right into the cut file! I hope this gives you a new idea for using cut files, especially if you’re looking for a fun way to incorporate more photos into your layouts!

Handmade Flowers Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here sharing a new layout featuring handmade flowers and Paige’s Crafted Moments collection.

I started by fussy cutting flowers from the One Good Thing Paper to use for the centers of my flowers. Next I cut circles and scalloped circles in various sizes from lots of different papers in the 12x12 Paper Pack and 6x8 Paper Pad. I layered these pieces on top of each other to create simple, whimsical flowers, and stuck foam tape between each piece to add dimension. It was so much fun deciding which patterns to use for each flower and I always love seeing as many pretty papers together as possible! I arranged the flowers onto a pale pink cardstock and then used a chainlink stitch and embroidery floss to add stems to each one. I cut out leaves from green leafy patterned paper and added them in a few places. I matted my photos with the yellow Beauty Ahead Paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad and arranged them side by side at the bottom of the page. Lastly, I embellished with Ephemera Die Cuts, Puffy Stickers, fussy cut butterflies, and Enamel Shapes. I loved making these pretty handmade flowers and I hope it inspires you to make some for your next project!

Together Layout by Antonia Sherlock

Hello crafty friends! Antonia Sherlock here and today I’m sharing a 12x12 layout featuring the beautiful Stay Present Paper from Paige's Crafted Moments collection!

I really love this beautiful, delicate Stay Present Paper and the soothing color combination and I wanted the paper to take center stage on my layout. So I decided to stitch along the repeating pattern to give it some emphasis. I used the backstitch for the curved lines and added a French knot to each end of the swirly lines that make up the hexafoil shapes. I repeated this throughout the whole page. I added a gold Metallic Enamel Dot to each of the star shapes - this was a good way of using up the largest gold dots in the pack (the photo covers up one of the stars, which was perfect, as there are eight large dots in the pack - just enough to add one to each of the visible stars). I centered my photo on the top third of the page and added embellishments in two clusters. I created a third cluster for the journaling spot at the bottom of the page. I used lots of Floral Die Cuts on this page alongside some the Ephemera Die Cuts and Cardstock Stickers. I added the title using the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and completed the layout by adding Enamel Shapes. I ended up trimming down the paper and layering it on pale pink cardstock to create a delicate frame. I hope you find my layout inspiring - I had so much fun creating the stitched details on this truly beautiful paper! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sunshine & Summertime Layout by Ali Skifton

Hi crafty friends! It's Ali Skifton here on Paige’s blog today sharing a bright and cheerful summer layout featuring her Crafted Moments collection and a fun cut file called Sunshine & Summertime.

I chose five different patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to back the Sunshine & Summertime cut file. I chose colors that complemented the outfits Anne and I were wearing the day we sailed away on our cruise, making the whole page feel extra colorful and coordinated. I used foam tape to pop the title and sun off the page for a little added dimension. I embellished the centers of some of the letters with Metallic Enamel Dots for a touch of sparkle. I added Ephemera Die Cuts, Floral Die Cuts, and Cardstock Stickers around our photo and along the bottom of the page, along with a pretty bunch of flowers Puffy Sticker as a fun accent. For the background, I double-matted the white cardstock on yellow cardstock and then framed the entire page with Beauty Ahead Paper to give the layout that extra pop of color. I love how bright, happy, and summery this page turned out and it makes me smile every time I look at these photos from the start of our cruise! Wishing you all a wonderful rest of your summer!

Good Things (Umbrella Cut File) Layout by Paige Evans

Here is layout I made with the Take Note collection by Simple Stories and my Umbrella Cut File!

Instead of traditionally backing each segment of the Umbrella with a different patterned paper, I opted to back the majority with one colorful striped paper - this made the backing process soooo much quicker than usual! I backed the handle with a yellow paper and the bow with a red paper.

I flipped the backed Umbrella upside down onto a light blue cardstock background and then "filled" it with photos and lots of floral and butterfly embellishments. A little spritzing of white acrylic paint ties everything together and mimics rain. Thanks for stopping by!
