Welcome back to our 8th cut file freebie this year – this one is all about circles – one of my favorite page elements. Something so easy to use, on virtually any type of project! Here is what this month’s free cut file looks like:
This month I have invited Nicole Martel, a talented contributor from our Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine Reader’s Spring 2015 gallery, to join us!
I asked her to use the cut file in any way she wanted, on any type of project, and check out the amazing page she sent me.
Supplies: Cardstock: American Crafts, Patterned Paper, Stickers: Enamel dots: Bella Blvd., Star jewels: Freckled Fawn, Stamps: Chickaniddy Crafts (circle and stars), Mommy Lhey (happy), Hero Arts (cloud and sun), Watercolor paints: Royal & Langnickel, Pen: Marvy, Mini stapler: Tim Holtz
I think it is awesome how Nicole incorporated the watercolor paints to her cut image!! So smart and a great effect on the page. Here is what Nicole had to say about her page:
"As soon as I saw the cut files, I knew I'd be able to create something fun with them. I LOVE circles and the cuts files were perfect for what I had in mind. I decided to cut the "arrow and hello circle" from white cardstock. Then I used my Stampin'Up Aqua Pen and watercolors to alter the cardstock. I love that the cuts can go with a variety of themes."
I have always been a big fan of using circles on my pages and also used the “hello”circle as well as the ring circle in the cut file. I chose to use the ring cut from several different patterns of paper to create a grid and added the HELLO one as part of my title. Last minute, I added the leftover inside of the rings to each of the rings, tilting the paper pattern slightly in each ring.
Supplies: Patterned paper, Stickers, Clear Stickers – Amy Tangerine for American Crafts; Enamel dot buttons – Shimelle for American Crafts; Large Alphas – Crate Paper; Enamel Dots – My Mind’s Eye; Flair – Scraptastic Kit Club; Chipboard Hearts – 7 Seven Paper; Ink – Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze
You can see that I layered the sun shape with various different papers and stitched them together, adding some wood buttons to add some sparkle to the center.
Thank you so much to Nicole Martel for joining me today on the blog! To check out more of Nicole’s work and find out what she has been up to, please visit her:
