Hello scrappy friends, Kelly Daye here! For today's layout, I’m celebrating Canada - my home and native land, the true north, strong and free! These words are from our National Anthem. On this layout I’ve used three of Paige’s cut files plus one of my own which is free on my blog. I’ve used Paige’s Back This Font, Large Leaf, and Mandala cut files. I also used Paige’s happy and bright Blooming Wild collection.
The title, made with Paige's Back This Font cut file, and cut from white cardstock, was paper-backed with a number of classic Paige Evans collections from my stash. They’re all available from AC Digitals. I also created an outline for each letter with the Offset Tool in Silhouette (also available on your Cricut). For more texture, I backstitched with tone on tone DMC floss, using all 6 strands. Paige’s Large Leaf cut file was perfect to make our iconic maple leaves. I made two sizes, 1.5” and 2” so I could layer them for lots of texture. They’re cut from Blooming Wild papers 7, Paper 11, and Paper 24. Some small fussy cut butterflies also decorate the title, they’re from a paper in the Splendid 6x8 Paper Pad. I cut my free Geo Wreath cut file from white cardstock. I cropped Paige’s Mandala cut file with an outline of my cut file then layered both together and back-stitched the decorative frame with the same DMC floss as the title. I hope you’re inspired to use Paige’s collections and cut files to make something pretty today too!
