Explore the Bahamas Layout by Paige Evans

Hello scrappy friends! I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! Here is a layout I made for the virtual Scrap & Learn event this summer using my Adventurous collection (supplies linked at the end)!

It's no secret that I love a floral wreath design and this page features the floral and leaf die cuts from Adventurous. Trace a round place and place the flowers on top then voila - a beautiful and easy page! I love to give my flowers and leaves texture by bending up the petals. A smattering of white acrylic paint and enamel dots across the background creates additional layers of interest.

Be sure to follow along with Scrap and Learn for when they announce more virtual events with and without kits!

SUPPLIES: Patterned papers, die cuts, stickers, Thickers: ADVENTUROUS; white acrylic paint

Ho Ho Ho Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with my first Christmas layout of the season using Sugarplum Wishes and Paige’s HoHoHo from her 25 Christmas Cut Files 2020 (all supplies linked at the end)!

I cut the Ho Ho Ho title from white cardstock and backed it with a variety of patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pad. I glued some of the papers directly to the cut file and then used foam tape to adhere some of them beneath the cut file. This design would also look really cute with the letters popped up above the cut file using foam tape! I chose pink striped Paper 11 for my background and I lightly spattered it with white acrylic paint to break it up a bit. Then I used red striped Washi Tape to add a border at both the top and bottom of the layout. I matted my photo with turquoise and red cardstock, as well as a layer of vellum and then I adhered it to the cut file. Lastly, I embellished with a Paperclip, Floral Die Cut, fussy cut flowers from Paper 1, and a Foam Sticker. Have a happy holiday season!

Merry Christmas Layout by Ashley Neu

Hi friends, it’s Ashley Neu here for the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team to share my next layout! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas so it’s time to take out Paige’s gorgeous Sugarplum Wishes collection. The Merry Christmas Lights cut file was exactly what I needed to add to this fun colorful Christmas layout (supplies linked at the end).

To begin the layout, I grabbed Paper 11 and trimmed off the first row of trees from the top. I wanted to do some sporadic stitching on the trees so I picked a couple dozen trees, poked holes, and hand stitched with coordinating embroidery floss. After adhering this paper onto pink cardstock, this became the base of my layout. The Merry Christmas Lights cut file was cut from white cardstock and backed with papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I used 2 of each pattern within the letters. To give the strands of lights attached to the words some sparkle, I backed them with glitter cardstock. To help the lights pop even more off of the background, I twirled coordinating embroidery floss around my fingers and tucked it under each light. This makes the lights appear as if they are glowing! Lastly, after attaching the cut file and my photos to the background, I added 3 flowers from the Floral & Snowflake Die Cuts. I didn’t want to go too embellishment heavy as my background was already pretty busy. I hope you love this layout as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by!

One Fine Happy Autumn Day Layout by Yui Oku

Yui Oku here today sharing a new layout using Paige's Tricks & Treats collection and her Banner from the 20 Autumn Cut Files!

I knew it would be better to back the banner with a simple patterned paper to make the text easier to read, but I really love this floral Paper 1 and I really wanted to use it! So I did! Because this isn't a Halloween layout, I was careful to not include skeletons or spiders. I placed Floral Die Cuts on the flower part of the cut file then put frames from the Ephemera Die Cuts over photos. For the title I used Mini Foam Thickers and Puffy Phrase Stickers. I sprinkled Enamel Dots around the banner to finish. The background is Paper 5 which has a subtle stripe pattern to let the elements on top pop & shine. In the photos, it was my daughter's birthday and we had a picnic in the park at her request. I'm happy to be able to capture our memories with a layout full of flowers. I hope you are inspired to try Paige's Banner from the 20 Autumn Cut Files!

Daily Walk Layout by Valerie Bisson

Valerie Bisson here today with a layout featuring Paige's Leaves from the 20 Autumn Cut Files to document pretty fall photos.

I started off my page with Paper 7 from Tricks & Treats to cut the Leaves and then backed them with paint splattered white cardstock. Next I chose the golden yellow paper in the 12x12 Project Pad from the Adventurous collection for my background. With my photos across the center I placed Washi Tape from Tricks & Treats along the top and bottom edges for a fun added detail. Next I added the leaves scattered across the top and bottom sections of the layout. For a homespun feel I added hand stitching to all the leaves with a backstitch. I also stamped leaves in various Distress Oxides with the Garden Shoppe Acrylic Stamps, Garden Shoppe Exclusive (Thankful and Blessed) Acrylic Stamps, and Splendid Acrylic Stamps mixed in and around the cut files. After this I took the same ink colors watered down for paint splatters across where the cut files were placed. I then topped that with gold metallic paint splatters. I finished my page with a few embellishments and a title. This included the xoxo Puffy Phrase Stickers, the "Lovely Day" and journaling spot Ephemera Die Cuts, Mini Thickers for the title, and Charm Staples from Adventurous, and word stickers from the Garden Shoppe Sticker Book.

Hey Hi Hello Layout by Paige Evans

Here is another layout I made for the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine which you can download and browse for free HERE! I used my Adventurous collection to create a stitched paper hearts in a grid layout.

I have a process video for this layout, woohoo!

The main focal element is repeated stitched paper hearts and I made a cut file which you can download for free HERE. I backstitched through them with coordinating colors of thread and then placed them in a grid across a pink paper background found in the 12x12 Project Pad. I topped each heart with a small embellishment and replaced two of the hearts with heart-shaped photos (you could replace even more hearts with more photos!). Printed journaling strips finish up this page!

Be sure to check out the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine and try creating a similar page with my Adventurous collection and the Heart for Stitching cut file! Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for stopping by!

Fall Beauties Layout by Sophie Delorme

Sophie Delorme here today sharing a cute autumnal page created with Paige's Adventurous collection and four cut files: Fall Cursive, Leaf Swirls, a Leaf and one more Leaf.

I chose a gorgeous pink paper from the 12x12 Project Pad as my background and added white gesso and inks from my stash to the center. I did an offset cut with the Fall Cursive title and used Paper 18 to back it. I backed the leaves with vellum and several fall colors using Paper 9, Paper 18, and a beautiful pink floral from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I centered my photo on the page, placed the leaves all around it, and added a few Floral Die Cuts as well. I completed my title with Mini Thickers, handwritten journaling on a label, a few sequins, and stamped the date. I love to create non-traditional autumnal layouts with bold colors and the Adventurous collection was perfect for that!

Hay There Layout by Phil Donahue

Phil Donahue here back on Paige's blog with an autumnal layout featuring the Adventurous and a Tractor from the 20 Fall Cut Files Bundle. This layout showcases some mixed media, a simple way of backing a cut file, and three cute photos of my niece playing on a tractor during a visit to a local farm!

To begin, I cut the Tractor out of white cardstock. Using the Cricut Design Space contour tool I created a solid shape from the cut file. I cut that out of a pink plaid paper from the 12x12 Project Pad and adhered the Tractor over top. An ombre plaid paper from Tricks & Treats served as my base background. I added white and gold texture paste to the paper using a wonky grid stencil. I tore strips from Paper 10 and Paper 22 from the 12x12 Paper Pad to create a border at the top and bottom of the layout and anchor the photos and cut file. Next, I created my title using the large alpha Thickers and embellished with enamel dots and Floral Die Cuts to finish the layout! I hope you found some inspiration from this layout and try Paige's 20 Fall Cut Files along with her Adventurous collection!

Wander Around Cozumel Double-Page Spread by Paige Evans

Do you prefer double-page spreads, single 12x12 pages, or are you a fan of both?!? I'm trying to make more DPSs! Here is one I created for the Scrap and Learn event this summer using my Adventurous collection and a border of handmade paper suitcases perfect for documenting a day in the colorful and vibrant city of Cozumel, Mexico!

LEFT PAGE

RIGHT PAGE

Paper piecing these suitcases together and turning them into a colorful border brought a huge smile to my face the entire time I was creating this page. Have I mentioned that I love scrapbooking? Oh so much. Even after 24 years, the joy I get from putting memories and pretty paper things together can't be beat!

Different depths of adhesive brings the suitcases to life and creations dimension and shadows.

Autumn Layout by Monique Lowe

Monique Lowe here with a colorFALL layout documenting the most magical rainbow! I’ve used Paige's Autumn Title and Leaves designs – both from the 20 Autumn Cut Files and Adventurous collection!

To complement my rainbow theme, I’ve used a bright and colorful selection of patterned papers and embellishments from Adventurous. To start, I cut the Leaves from white cardstock. To back them, I used the offset tool in Silhouette Studio to add extra thickness to the edge of each leaf, then deleted all other cut lines, leaving a solid shape for each leaf. I cut these from a rainbow of patterned papers from Adventurous as well as an exclusive patterned paper from the 12x12 Project Pad and Paper 3 from Blooming Wild. To back the leaves, I added a thin strip of liquid glue to the center of each white leaf - this allowed for the edges of the leaves to lift when attached to the colorful backing. I added machine stitching in coordinating colors down the middle of each leaf. Using the rainbow of patterned papers, I cut the Autumn Title and hand stitched the edges using a backstitch and coordinating embroidery threads. With my main decorative elements ready, I focused on my background. Using a sheet of Paper 17 from Blooming Wild I covered it in a layer of white gesso - this helped soften the pattern but still allowed a bit of the leaf detail to shine through. Using a selection of shimmery yellow, orange and gold watercolors I added a hint of color and splatters to the background to give it an autumnal glow. Once dry, I placed the letters horizontally across the page, overlapping each other in rainbow order. Continuing this color sequence, I created an arch over the letters using the Leaves Cut File. I added in Floral Die Cuts along with a few Mini Puffy Stickers, my favorite being the cute little birdie sitting on the first "U"! I backed my three photos using tissue paper and Paper 12 and placed each photo slightly offset in a horizontal row below the large title. I punched a little tab using the same patterned paper and stamped the date, tucking it in beside the photo on the left. To finish off my layout I extended my title using the word ‘happy’ from the Puffy Phrase Stickers, along with a Chipboard tab and Mini Thickers. Happy Autumn Rainbows couldn’t have been more perfect for this magical rainbow! Finally, I trimmed ¼" off each edge and stuck my page onto a sheet of Paper 16. This gave my layout a subtle border, finishing it off perfectly. Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look at my new layout using Adventurous and the 20 Autumn Cut Files! I hope you feel inspired to add a splash of rainbow to your autumnal layouts too!

Montreal Layout by Kelly Daye

Kelly Daye here with a layout featuring Paige’s beautiful Adventurous collection and part of her One Day At A Time cut file.

While on our way to an east coast scrappy event, my bestie Nadine and I visited Montreal. It was for only one day, but we made over 16,000 steps that day!! I cut "One Day" from white cardstock three times because I like the depth created by gluing three cut files together. I paper backed it with colors from Paper 18. I love all the colorful frames on pretty Paper 17, they introduce so many colors you can use on the rest of a page. It’s a little change-up from white, but still a neutral background. I made a banner from the metallic wordie paper found in the 6x8 Paper Pad. It adds some nice bling! I used a scallop punch to make the navy trim from Washi Tape. A little cluster of elements decorate a Chipboard label. I’m loving the colorful Mini Alpha’s spelling out ‘Old Montreal’. My photo is backed with a pretty postcard and tag from the Journaling Ephemera. Once in place, I created generously layered clusters using the Floral Ephemera, Cardstock Stickers, Enamel Dots, Mini Puffy Stickers, Chipboard flowers, flowers from the Sticker Book, and fussy cut butterflies from Paper 19. I love that there are so many different types of floral elements to layer up in Adventurous including vellum, chipboard, cardstock, rub-ons, and stickers. They make every page interesting, colorful and happy!
