beautiful you {CUT to YOU}

Hi friends! Today I am sharing another layout for CUT to YOU (created by Gwen) featuring the Camera Beautiful You cut file from the March 2018 release.

I wanted this layout to convey a whimsical yet simple feel featuring the camera cut file as a focal point without detracting from the silly photos. 

 

I manipulated the cut file to add to the playful feel of the layout. To do this, I duplicated the camera shape three times (each the same size), rotated at different angles, randomly layered them on each other, and then welded into one shape prior to cutting. 

I wanted to keep the cut file open but with some detail, so tracing the 'beautiful you' on each camera carefully with a black marker added a nice punch without being overdone. Adding some patterned paper and/or tracing paper was also good for a visual effect without being overpowering. 

Adding a few fussy cut flowers, a bit of mist and some enamel dots finishes off this playful page and maintains the focus on these silly faces from my granddaughter. 

Thanks for stopping by. Please do pop on over to the CUT to YOU HQ FB group, we love seeing what you create with Gwen’s beautiful creations!

you & me {CUT to YOU}

Hello all! :) Today I am sharing my first project as a designer for CUT to YOU created by Gwen.

I used the lovely Heart Burst Background Cut File. 

As you can see, I used several different patterns on each side of the heart and scattered them leaving the center area open for visual interest.

I carefully snipped a few of the hearts  away from the cut file so they could be layered upon the photo to add some extra dimension.

Adding a few fussy cut sloths (which are adorable!), some rub on decals, along with a sprinkling of sequins finishes this layout off perfectly.

If you haven't checked out all the AMAZING cut files that are available at the CUT to YOU store, then what are you waiting for?! There is something for everyone.

I look forward to seeing what you create with them... you can do so by joining the CUT TO YOU HQ page on facebook. 

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon. :)
