Seed Packets Layout by Kelly Daye


Hi friends, it’s Kelly Daye  here with a layout using the Seed Packets from the 20 Spring Cut Files and both the Blooming Wild and Splendid collections which are perfect for your spring projects!
I cut the Seed Packets from white cardstock then once paper-backed, I added a white frame around each seed pack and chain stitched with all 6 strands of DMC Floss. I added a wide border at the bottom of the layout using Blooming Wild Paper 7. I made a curved channel in the border and placed my title there using the Splendid Mini Foam Thickers. I also chain stitched both sides of the title. To give the white cardstock background on the top portion of my layout a little texture, I added Paige’s Doily Cut File, also cut from white cardstock. This white on white technique is subtle and doesn’t compete with everything else on the page. One of my favorite things to do on a layout is make a pretty collage with all-the-things. Including a vase from the Floral Die CutsChipboard StickersMini Flower Puffy Stickers, a bird from the Ephemera Die Cuts, a rainbow from the Cardstock Stickers, and a pink Chipboard Round surrounded by a round Chipboard Frame Sticker. Did you notice the stitched yellow circle with pink flowers in the collage? Cute hey?!  It’s actually the backing to the letter O from the Chipboard Alphabet Outlines. There are some cool patterns in there that you won’t see in the other patterned papers like the pink starry frame around the petunia seed pack - it’s actually the back of one of the Blooming Wild Boxed Cards. Look to these products for unique papers that help personalize your layouts!
I hope you feel inspired to scrap your own spring moments with Paige’s 20 Spring Cut Files and pretty collections like Blooming Wild and Splendid! I can’t wait for the garden stores to open again for the spring season!

Happy Silly Girls Layout by Kat Flores


Saturday, March 16, 2024

Hello scrappy friends! Kat Flores here and I’m so happy to be back on Paige's blog sharing my final design team layout! I’m ready for spring and I can't wait to fill everything again with flowers and lots of color! For my layout I chose the Flower Border from the 19 Spring Cut Files along with the Blooming Wild collection.
I started with Paper 13 as the base and I cut stripes from Paper 10 to make borders. I added hand stitching to the paper borders. Once I had that done, I glued them down across the center of my page and then I cut the Flower Border from white cardstock. I decided to not back the cut file and leave it as is. I cut a Floral Die Cut in half to tuck behind the cut file then I tucked the cut file pieces behind the paper stripe borders. I fussy cut extra flowers from the Floral Transparency and added white sequins over some of the flowers. For extra texture I splattered white and gold paint. For placing my photos, I used frames from the Ephemera Die Cuts and stickers from the Sticker Book to decorate them. For my title, I overlapped letters from the Thickers tone-on-tone then added hearts from the Puffy Phrase Stickers. To finish I wrote journaling over a tag and added butterflies across the page, all from the Ephemera Die Cuts.
I love how this page turned out! I really like the contrast between the white cut file and the dark blue background. I hope you are inspired to check out Paige's 19 Spring Cut Files and the Blooming Wild collection!

Butterflies Layout by Jackie Ashton


Thursday, March 14, 2024

Hi everyone! Jackie Ashton here with my next design team layout using Paige's Butterfly Background from the 19 Spring Cut Files paired with the colorful Blooming Wild collection.
I cut this Butterfly Background from white cardstock and backed each butterfly using various scraps of patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pad and the 6x8 Paper Pad. Once I’d back the file, I added it to Paper 6, leaving a slight border around the edge. I backed my two photographs using patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, distressing the edges, and I added foam to the right photograph to give it dimension. Behind my photograph I added two tags cut from Paper 9 as well as Chipboard Frame Sticker which I cut in half and added to each side of my photo mat. For my title I used the lovely Thickers and added a sticker from the Cardstock Stickers as part of my title. I finished my layout with Chipboard Stickers and Cardstock Stickers.
I love how this turned layout out and I hope you can get some inspiration to use Blooming Wild and the Butterfly Background from the 19 Spring Cut Files! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Spring Tree Layout by Heidi Lewis


Wednesday, March 13, 2024

Hello friends, Heidi Lewis here and if you are anything like me, sometimes life cuts into your scrap time! Lately I've been loving quick and easy layouts. This layout featuring the Tree from the 19 Spring Cut Files and paper-pieced birds only took me an hour to make but still provides a wow factor with color and dimension!
The first step in making this layout is to punch one each of the following shapes from 8 sheets of double-sided patterned papers: 2.5 inch circle, 1 inch circle, and 1.75 inch triangle. If you don't have paper punches, consider using an electronic cutting machine, metal dies, or even tracing and hand-cutting your shapes. Get creative! If you want to copy my layout exactly, I used the following Splendid papers for my shapes: Paper 4, Paper 5, Paper 8, Paper 9, Paper 10, Paper 12, Paper 17, and Paper 18. I also punched (4) 7/16 inch squares from Paper 11 and cut them in half. The next step is to assemble the birds. I folded the 2.5-inch circles in half and secured the halves with a foam square to create the body of the birds. Then I folded the 1-inch circles in half to create the wings. I cut the bottom edge of the triangles with fringe scissors and then folded the triangles in half to create the tails. I used the B-sides of the papers for the bodies and the A-sides for the tails and wings. An Enamel Dot creates the eye while a small triangle creates the beak. The last step is to assemble the layout. I cut the Tree from white cardstock, placed the tree on a plain sky blue background, and arranged the birds on the tree. Then I added (1) 3x4 picture (2) 2x3 pictures as if they were hanging from the bottom branches of the tree. For embellishments, I layered flower Sequins over the flowers in the tree. A lemon branch Chipboard Sticker overlapping one of my photos fits oh-so-perfectly with the tree theme. The mini Thickers title finishes off the page.
If you are ever short on scrap time, minimalism is the way to go! But being minimalist doesn't mean you have to sacrifice colorful or dimensional design! I hope you feel inspired to check out Paige's 19 Spring Cut Files and Splendid collection!

My Tweetie Layout by Audrey Mutschall


Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with a new layout featuring Paige’s Birdhouse from the 20 Spring Cut Files and her gorgeous Blooming Wild collection.
I cut the Birdhouse from white cardstock and backed it with various patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pad. With the backing complete I embellished the birdhouse with a heart-shaped Die Cut, a Chipboard Sticker, and leaves from the Floral Die Cuts. I wanted to add a little extra dimension to the floral clusters on the design, so I used Paige’s Rolled Flower cut file to make pretty little flowers with purple plaid Paper 1, pink floral Paper 10, and yellow Paper 20. If you’ve never made rolled flowers before, you must give them a try! They are super fun and once you start making them you won’t want to stop! Paige’s Rolled Flower Cut Files make them really easy to do. My background is white cardstock that I very lightly tinted with inks in shades of blue, pink, and yellow. My photo is mounted onto a pretty yellow paper from the set of Boxed Cards and I’ve added some sentiments from the Sticker Book at the top, along with a title using some of the letters from the Puffy Phrase Stickers. Lastly, I’ve anchored the birdhouse by placing another Die Cut along the bottom and sprinkled fussy cut butterflies and tiny flowers from Paper 16 around the page.
I hope this inspires you to check out Paige’s bundle of 20 Spring Cut Files and the beautiful Blooming Wild collection!

My Beautiful Family Layout by Paige Evans


Monday, March 11, 2024

Here is the finished layout that we made in today's Make with Me Monday featuring patterned paper pentagons! I used my Bungalow Lane collection with American Crafts and added two photos of our family in sunflower fields. The colors of this collection and the fall photos go hand-in-hand. We also learned how to do the chain stitch, embellish tone-on-tone, create a mixed title, and top it all off with a little mixed media! Download all kinds of pentagon templates to use with & without hand stitching and with & without cutting machines HERE.
Here is the video for re-watching and you can find the Make with Me Monday playlist HERE.

Butterflies Two-Page Spread by Ashley Neu


Hello scrappy friends! It’s Ashley Neu back for the Paige Evans Cut File Design Team to share another double page spread! This time I used Paige's Butterfly Background from the 19 Spring Cut Files and her Blooming Wild collection. You’re going to see how I really made the most of this cut file with a double page spread and one piece of patterned paper!
The base of both of my layouts is white cardstock. The beautiful patterned paper that I picked to be the star of the show is Paper 22. After cutting out the Butterfly Background from the 19 Spring Cut Files from Paper 22, I left the butterflies on the cutting mat for later and adhered the other piece of the cut file to the white cardstock. Because Paper 22 has a rainbow starburst design, I wanted to continue those lines through the open butterflies. I grabbed my ruler and carefully traced where the lines would be.
After poking the holes along the lines that I had traced and erasing the pencil lines, I started hand stitching with matching colors to the starburst design. I wanted to include sequins into the stitching so that’s what I did throughout the whole layout! A tip if you want to save some time stitching and save on materials: adhere your photos if you know where they will be going. There is no need to stitch in those areas! Lastly, I added a title from the Thickers and some small embellishments from the Chipboard Stickers and Mini Flower Puffy Stickers. The tiny puffy flowers were the perfect touch to add on top of the stitching. I used some foam adhesive to pop them up, adding liquid glue for added security.
The second layout was so easy to put together. Previously, I had cut this same cut file from a piece of scratch paper so that I could use it as a template to get the butterflies exactly where they should go. I could have used the original template that I used on the first layout, had I thought of that! :) Placing each butterfly in their appropriate place, I used a small amount of glue to attach each of the butterflies, concentrating it on the body and leaving the wings free to lift off the page. I did add some lines of stitching on numerous butterflies for added texture and interest! I added one 4x6” photo to the layout along with a journaling card from the Journaling Spots. The fussy cut florals are from Paper 24 and the sentiment sticker on the journaling card is from the Cardstock Stickers.
I absolutely adore creating coordinating two-page layouts! I hope you have found some inspiration here today and be sure to check out the 19 Spring Cut Files along with Paige’s other amazing bundles available on her shop. Have a great day!
