Cut Files

Living the Dream layout | Unforgettable collection | Anita Bownds

Hi crafty friends, Anita here with you today sharing a sweet layout using the beautiful unforgettable collection
The layout is all about my kitty Kushan who thinks Eve’s beanbag is one of his beds…I’m sure he probably thinks he’s on a big pink cloud. So Today I had to include the bows and tassels on my layout I decided on the bows As I had a idea of floating heart balloons in the air.
I started by selecting 3 pattern papers from the 6×8 paper pad and using a cut file from the silhouette design store and cut 3 heart balloons out then I hand stitched around each balloon using a matching colour thread then I added some twine to the back and double sided foam tape to pop it of the page then I layered them onto my trimmed white cardstock on a angle.

 

Then I matted my white on pattered paper sprightly and machine stitched around the border of the white cardstock  then using more patterned paper from the 6×8 paper pad I matted my photo on 2 different papers .
Then I added fussy cut flowers from paper glorious on each side of my photo

 

Then I pulled the twine down straight to the bottom of my photo and adhered my title from the ephemera pieces then I added accessory stickers and ephemera around the photo

 

Then I use 3 of the bows from the bows and tassels to add on each of my balloons then tucking flowers from the ephemera pack around the bows to add a extra pop of colour and to finish of the layout I added clear stickers and enamel dots

I hope I’ve given you some fun inspiration using the bows..

Our Stories | Unforgettable Collection | Guest Designer Danni Visser

Hi lovelies!  It’s Danni here today sharing another guest designer layout with you.  This time I was very keen to get playing with the freebie cutfiles that match the new Unforgettable collection.

I first cut a large section of the heart wreath cutfile on my Silhouette machine using white cardstock – I just love the way white pops on the gorgeous papers in the collection. I went ahead and backed some of the cutfile with different papers from the 6×8 paper stack, making sure to leave some open spaces to keep it light and airy.

For my background paper I chose Lacewing for that gorgeous peach floral B side, then I tore strips from Natural Beauty and Story Teller (my two favourite papers from this collection so far, I can’t stop using them!).

I layered the strips to the left side of the page and added a crepe paper ruffle underneath for extra texture.  I made sure to curl the edges of the torn paper strips up a little, then slipped the cutfile under the edge of the ruffle, creating a half-wreath peeking out from beneath the layers.  This created the perfect spot for my pics to go.

I added some layers behind my pics with the 6×8 paper stack and tissue paper, added a little dimensional foam and placed my photos overlapping each other slightly.  I then embellished my photos using some ephemera, a flair button, tiny word stickers and one of the adorable bow embellies.

At the top right of my page I created a small cluster with a label sticker for the date.  I also added some floral embellishments peeking out from between the paper layers to the left of the page.

My title fits perfectly in the space between, with the foam title words again making the most perfect addition to the page.  I can’t get enough of these gorgeous script titles! For finishing touches I sprinkled some enamel dots around the page in groups of three, splattered some white ink and added my journaling inside the circle of the wreath cutfile using a white gel pen.

I love how perfectly this layout represents my photos of my husband and I enjoying the sunshine in the garden, and how perfectly the colours match the peachy coral dress I wore.

I hope you like this layout as much as I do! Thank you so much for joining me today.  Happy scrapping!

Living The Dream | Unforgettable | Amanda Baldwin

Hi Cocoa Vanilla Studio Friends!

Amanda here, & this week the design team are shining the spotlight on the gorgeous UNFORGETTABLE TASSELS & BOWS.

I know, what a fun assignment! I couldn’t wait to get creating, and I even made a process video of this layout too!

Here’s what I came up with….

“Living The Dream” 

 

 Swoooooon!!! The UNFORGETTABLE collection has my heart!

Such a precious & beautiful layout for my two darlings! Living the dream indeed!

And nothing says ‘dream’ quite like a dreamcatcher, right? I couldn’t resist suspending the TASSELS and feather DIE CUT EPHEMERA pieces from that delicate cut file. So super pretty!

** Note: Cut file is called: Boho Dreamcatcher by Lilium Pixel SVG from the Silhouette Store **

Here’s a better look at my layout….

So very beautiful!

I started this page with a white cardstock base which I trimmed a one inch length off the left hand side. You’ll spy that I machine stitched half an inch of the beautiful woodrgrain pattern paper, CV-UF008 NATURAL BEAUTY to this side. Next, I fussy cut that darker based floral, 4″ x 6″ note card, from pattern paper, CV-004 PRETTY BITS. I trimmed this 4″ x 6″ note card so that I could butt the 6″ lengths together to create the appearance of a 12″ floral paper & then attached it to the back of the woodgrain trim. SO pretty! I love how effective this looks!

Before I adhered the Boho Dreamcatcher cut file to the page, I layered two of the larger DIE CUT EPHEMERA floral swags to the base, so that they would peek out beneath the dreamcatcher. I also removed some of the cut file feathers so that I could thread the tassels onto the cut file ‘strings’, and then covered the remaining cut file feathers with those amazing DIE CUT EPHEMERA feathers.

With the cut file prepared, I glued it onto the white cardstock base, but was careful not to glue the ‘strings’ down. By leaving the strings loose, I created a sense of realism as the TASSELS, and feathers, dangled from the dreamcatcher. This also created flow and movement, as well as soft dimension and texture! What a fabulous way to incorporate those darling TASSELS into my design! Here’s a closer look at those pretties….

They really are somethin’, aren’t they?!! And those feathers are just divine!

I embellished the rim of the dreamcatcher hoop with more pretty DIE CUT EPHEMERA florals, as well as a few fussy cut butterflies from pattern paper, CV-UF005 LACEWING. The larger butterfly is also fussy cut, but this time from pattern paper,    CV-UF004 PRETTY BITS.  I layered my DIE CUT EPHEMERA title, Living The Dream, over this larger butterfly & then embellished with a few of the CLEAR STICKERS too!

I framed my precious photo with one of the circular frames included in the DIE CUT EPHEMERA pack, and then foam mounted it to the center of the dreamcatcher. I love how the pattern on the circular frame reminds me of a mandala or, yes, you guessed it, the dreamcatcher! I just love repetition in design!

For finishing touches, I covered the ‘beads’ on the dreamcatcher cut file with those pretty ENAMEL DOTS, and added a tiny spot of journaling with the ACCESSORY STICKERS.

 

Simple. Beautiful. Amazing!!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my layout! Clearly, it was TASSELS for the win today!

You can see more in my process video for this pretty page HERE!

Happy Arty Days,

Shine Bright | Unforgettable Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello there! It’s Michelle back today sharing a new layout using both our new collection Unforgettable and the FREE Cut files designed by Gwen. LOVE LOVE LOVE the designs within the set, especially the circle of hearts design. This whole layout came together pretty quickly by cutting one main floral piece, 1 massive cut file and then tucking random bits here and there.

I started by cutting the design out in silhouette studio using the reverse of the GARLAND paper and then adhering it flat to the white cardstock using the centre edge only. I curled all the hearts up for a touch of dimension. Next I fussy cut the entire wreath design from the same paper and adhered this to the bottom half of the cut file using foam tape.

When it came to the photo I didn’t want it to stand out or compete with the florals, I felt it needed to blend together so I printed it out in black and white. I chose a close up photo of Leila from a few years back as its one of my very favourites. I backed the photo using the woodgrain pattern of the NATURAL BEAUTY paper plus a couple of off cut strips from the 6×8 paper stack I used on previous layouts. I tucked the right side of the photo under the layers of florals and ephemera pieces. I also added a couple of the leaf strand cut files from the FREE SET.

To the left of the photo I added the title using the new foam title words and a stack more bits from the ephemera pack, a flair button, clear sticker and enamel dots to mirror the opposite side of the layout.

Once I felt the entire circular design was a good balance of florals and colours I splattered it all with gold colour shine, including the photo as I ALWAYS forget to cover it up. Super happy with how this turned out, pretty similar to the idea I had in mind when I started which is pretty good. It doesn’t usually run so smoothly HAHA

Well thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to pop by our facebook group to chat all things CVS and don’t forget to download the FREE cut files!!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping
Michelle xx

 

 

Captured | Unforgettable Collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi Cocoa Vanilla friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am sharing another layout featuring the gorgeous brand new Unforgettable collection! I am also featuring one of the stunning FREE cut files by Cut To You. The Unforgettable collection and the cut file go together beautifully!I chose a pink, grey and white colour scheme for my layout today, I pulled some of the papers and lots of embellishments that were in that colour scheme and started out by cutting the cut file on white cardstock, I cut the file out with the intention of leaving some of the design inside the cardstock. I loved how I could pop out the hearts and create a dimensional look with them. I backed the cut file design with the pink paper and then machine stitched around the circle – you can see more detail in the photo below. I then matted the cut file and pink paper onto one of the grey patterned papers. The photo is of my sister and I at our brothers wedding a couple of years ago, not often we get photos together with both my sister and brother living in England now. I added lots of paper layers underneath my photo and used foam tape to pop up my photo from the page. In the photo below, you can see I added a cluster of embellishments including some die-cuts and accessory stickers, I used foam dots again to lift up the camera die-cut and I also added one of the enamel dots to the centre – hooray for enamel dots making a come back in this collection! I love them! Over one the right hand side is another cluster featuring some of the floral and butterfly die-cuts. I also added one of the cute bows to the right of my title. My title is one of the gorgeous foam word titles, these are brilliant to add to any project, they make a statement and they really pop off the page too! I added one of the larger butterfly die-cuts to the left of the title to balance out the with the smaller one on the right hand side. A couple more enamel dots and a couple pf the gorgeous clear stickers were also added for some extra interest and texture.

Make sure to check out the Cocoa Vanilla store to download your FREE Unforgettable cut files that co-ordinate with the Unforgettable collection perfectly!

I hope I have inspired you in some way today?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy creating!

The Best | Unforgettable | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends today I have a pretty layout celebrating the relationship between my daughter and I. I have used the new stunning collection UNFORGETTABLE.

Firstly I used a scallop border cut file, cutting it at 11x 7 inches using the lovely Natural Beauty paper. I then set about creating a grid design cutting 5 3×3 inch squares using various papers from the 6×8 inch paper pad.

Then it was a matter of embellishing each square. Here i cut another square slightly smaller and added over the 3×3 inch with foam tape to add height. I have used one of the Accessory Stickers, again added with foam tape tucking an Enamel Dot slightly behind it. I finished this square off with the gorgeous camera Flair.

I cut this floral square from the Pretty Bits 12×12 paper layering it on a dark pink square from the 6×8 inch paper pad. Again I added with foam tape. I added some of the tiny die cut flowers, black hearts from the Foam Titles finished off with a tiny butterfly I fussy cut from the 6×8 page with butterflies. I added enamel dots to some of the flowers.

I created my title under the floral square using the black foam word titles framing it with some fussy cut tiny butterflies.

I created my final paper embellished square using a smaller floral paper from the 6×8 inch pad and adding the die cut Living the Dream as my sub title. I added blue paint smears from the Clear Stickers to create a subtle contrast. I added the gorgeous floral bunch from the clear stickers to the right edge of my white cardstock and lastly a Clear Sticker butterfly.

 

You could of course add more photos to this design. I just love the black foam titles, they really add a wow factor! Well that’s it from me today, thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful creative week!

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another blog post. Today, I am playing with the lovely Unforgettable collection as well as some fun cut files from Cut To You!

I started my layout by choosing four 6×8 papers and cutting out these layered butterflies that I attached using my Tiny Attacher. After cutting and assembling the butterflies, I used my circle punch hoard to punch out photos of my darling friend, Charlotte as well as circle photo mats. I thought it would be fun to play with a different shape on this layout. While I had my cutting machine on, I cut out these branches with a cut file from the Cut To You shop that you can get for free!

I decided to keep embellishing around my photos pretty light as I knew that I had the larger butterflies as well as the branch elements. I chose to use some doilies for texture and add a few bits and pieces from the ephemera pack to add some color and texture. I also added a tassel and a bow to each of my photos to add more texture and visual interest to my background.

After creating my embellishment and photo clusters, I glued the circles as well as the branches to my background. I chose this woodgrain paper because I love a good woodgrain pattern and I thought it would go really well with the florals I chose for my layout. After adhering the photos and the branches, I worked on arranging the butterflies around the page. My title came from the foam titles pack and I added some enamel dots around the page for some added interest and the icing on the cake.

That’s all I have for you today, crafty friends! I hope you enjoyed this layout and are tempted to give the Unforgettable collection a try.

Love layout | Unforgettable Collection | Anita Bownds

Hi crafty friends,
Anita here with you today and I’m using the very beautiful unforgettable collection and my layout is all about our kitty Luna who loves following me around the garden to take photos I’m sure she’s thinks she’s part dog…..
so with my layout I started off by choosing a beautiful mandala cut file from Paige Evans
And natural beauty pattern paper and adhered it in the middle of my trimmed white cardstock and with the leftover of the natural beauty pattern paper I backed my white cardstock and then machine stitched around the border

 

 

I chose papers from the 6×8 paper pad to back and add layers to my photo , then using a pink doily and a few ephemera pieces and sticker from the accessory stickers sheet then I added them to the top of my photo and using pattern paper glorious I fussy cut out some flowers to add around my photo and popped them up with double sided foam tape to add dimension

 

Using the foam title stickers I added my title in between the fussy cut flowers then I added a few more die cut ephemera bits around the photo and phrase stickers from the accessory sticker sheet and to finish off I add some enamel dots.

I hope I’ve given you some fun kitty inspiration for World animal day

The Best | Unforgettable | Mandy Melville

Hi friends!

Mandy here today to share another layout using the GORGEOUS new Unforgettable collection! I’m totally loving the beautiful butterflies and the florals in this collection, and I knew that I wanted to feature them on this page! I documented a photo of my eldest daughter Abigail taken earlier this year, and I used this layout as an opportunity to journal about how proud I am of her.

I started by trimming down my white cardstock background and matting it firstly with the Natural Beauty patterned paper (reverse side), then with the Unscripted paper (reverse side). I also added some machine stitching around the white cardstock to give the layout some texture.

Next I matted my photo with one of the papers from the 6×8 Paper Stack, and then I created a pretty floral cluster to the right of the photo. I used one of the larger floral die cuts as the base for the cluster, and then I tucked some extra leaves and smaller flowers into it. I finished it off with some more leaves which I cut out of white cardstock using the beautiful new Unforgettable Cut Files. These are designed by our very own design team member Gwen Wruck, and they’re available to download for FREE here.

As I said, I knew that I wanted to feature those gorgeous butterflies from the collection on this layout. I cut the larger ones out of the Pretty Bits patterned paper and the smaller ones were from the Lacewing paper. I arranged them so that they look like they’re floating from the bottom right up to the top left, giving the layout a diagonal flow. I adhered them with glue just in the middle, so that their wings would lift off the page, giving them lots of dimension.

I also created another smaller floral cluster in the bottom right hand corner of the page. Once again I used a combination of die cuts, along with leaves from the Unforgettable cut file set.

I’m LOVING the addition of the Foam Title Stickers in this collection! They make it so easy to add a title to your layout, and the scripty font is really pretty! Plus I love the contrast that the black adds against the bright colours!

I finished the layout off by adding some typed journaling strips, a few little word stickers, and a couple of the little hearts included in the Foam Title Stickers pack.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! I hope that you’ve been inspired by my layout! I’ll be back later in the month to share some more inspiration with you!

We are family | Unforgettable Collection | Anna Komenda

Hello crafty Friends. It’s Anna here with another project made with brand new “Unforgettable” collection. I made another layout but it’s not surprise for you :) Once again I combined white background and a lot of layers of papers. I also used flowers as they are so pretty and tempting. Luckily I have two girls at home so I can use florals with almost all of my projects.

I also used brand new free cut files designed by super talented Gwen. They are available to download in the CVS store here: https://cocoavanilla.com.au/shop/unforgettable-freebie-cut-files/

Just look how pretty they are:

Pink paper called “Unscripted” was perfect to cut few roses and mix them with ephemera flowers. I set my machine to cut them and worked with my background in the meantime. I used blue Distress Oxide ink and applied it through stencil. Next step was to add some water to make it look more dreamy.

I used a strip of fun pictures of me and my daughter using filters. I love those mini photo sessions of us two. I backed my picture with a lot of paper layers. Using 6*8 paper stack helped me save my 12*12 papers :) I also fussy cut three big butterflies from paper called “Pretty bits”.

My title is a combination of amazing foam titles and some older black alpha stickers. I also added few transparent stickers here and there on the background. It’s a good way to add some special touch to white layout base.

I finished my page by splashing everything with pink and black inks. This kind of little mess is my signature style :) That is all for today. Thank you for stopping by <3 If you need more inspiration, check our FB group – Cocoa Vanilla Studio Community. You can spot a lot of amazing projects there to feed up your mojo.

XO Anna
