Dashing through the SNOW! // Audrey Yeager

Are you in the holiday spirit?  I love scrapping the Christmas holiday and winter photos, and there are so many great cut files in the store.  I used the new "Sleigh Ride" cut file from the store along with the "Season's Greetings" file for my title:

Sleigh Ride

Season's Greetings

I began by cutting my sleigh from the Sleigh Ride cut file from gold foiled cardstock.  I first cut the title from white cardstock, but later changed it to navy.  I backed the sleigh with red patterned paper.

Next, I began adding some gesso to my background papers, and cutting a "hill" shape from my tree patterned paper. 

I tucked my photo into the sleigh and added some die cut presents, candy cane stickers, and a machine stitched Christmas tree die cut behind it.

To jazz up my sleigh even more, I added a tiny set of single bells to the front, and some layered flowers from my stash.

Finally, I added some due cut snow flakes, tiny house stickers on the hill, and my title near the sleigh.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday files!

Hey TCS friends!  Marsha here again today sharing a new holiday layout in my traveler's notebook.  I used the fun Peace & Joy cut file from The Cut Shoppe Etsy store.

I sized the cut file to fit in my traveler's notebook and cut it out using white cardstock.  I love how it pops against the red patterned paper!  I also cut out the snowflake pattern several times using vellum and layered it over the cut file, adding the snowflake cut out of white cardstock on top.

For the other page, I stitched the vellum snowflakes at the top and bottom of the page.  

I layered some patterned papers and crepe paper behind my photo, used a notebook punch to punch the edge of the paper, and chose to do a flip up using washi tape.  Next, I added the journaling to a tag behind the photo.  I added a few embellishments and called the layout done. 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will check out the holiday cut files at The Cut Shoppe, perfect for all of your seasonal creating!

Hello there, friends! Enza here with you today to share a Christmas layout created with the Totally Triangles and Very Merry cut files.

 

I had been thinking about using the Totally Triangles cut file for a while. As I thought it would be perfect for a masculine layout, I was just waiting to create a page about my son with it. After cutting it out though, I realized I could make those triangles look like little Christmas trees by just backing them with some patterned paper and gluing a star on top. I liked the colors in the Pink Paislee Moonstruck collection and decided to go for it. Although the pink and blue hues are a little unusual for the theme of the layout, I really liked the final result and the magical feel of it.

To keep the page light and soft, I decided to back only some of the triangles with different patterned papers. The idea was to create an horizontal design. I also added some stitching, alternating gold and white embroidery floss for extra texture. The acrylic stars are part of Ashley's Tinsel Town collection.

 I wanted to create more separation between the picture and the background, so I printed a copy of the same photo in black and white and placed it behind the one in color.

Next, the little presents. I cut them out of white cardstock and backed them with more papers from the collection. As I thought they were blending too much with the background, I outlined the image to create a little border. Some sequins and a few rub-ons from the collection completed the layout.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my process. Visit The Cut Shoppe Etsy store for these and many more inspiring cut files.
