Cutie Pie | Happy Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

It’s been a while since I have created with Happy Days collection and as I revisited the collection I knew I had to create a layout inspired by the strawberry paper Lush Blooms ,strawberry side!

This fabulous Cutie Pie cut file is from the Silhouette Design store. I didn’t want a stark white background so used the mixed media effect paper Juicy Fruit. To add another layer I cut some hearts and added randomly my page using Definitive paper, I think the dark blue makes a wonderful contrast against the more subtle colours of the layout.

I added my title letters with foam tape so I would be able to tuck elements under and over, it also creates dimension which when using a larger word title is important so your layout does not appear ‘flat’. I added a floral cluster which I tucked under the ‘C’ letter using the floral die cut ephemera. I added die cut ephemera strawberries over the letters.

To the opposite side I created another floral cluster, I added centres to the flowers using the round pieces of the puffy stickers. I added a die cut cloud to the top of my page, adding with foam tape so I could tuck a turquoise puffy heart behind it.

I chose a 3.5×3.5 inch photo which I matted on a paper from the A5 paper pad. I added this with foam tape, and finished of with a tab from the accessory sticker sheet which I added two puffy stickers and a phrase sentiment banner from the die cut pack.

I just love the dark pink/red strawberries and butterfly added on top of the title cut file, it just makes it ‘pop’. I added some finishing touches such as more puffy hearts, a word sentiment and layering the ‘I’ with paper cut hearts.

This layout definitely has a summer feel and this colour combo is a big yes for me. Also perfect colours to make a black and white photo stand out!

As always, thank you for stopping by and see you again in December, just over a month to Christmas!!!!
