Beautiful Dreamer

Hey everyone, it's cut file Saturday at Paper Issues today!  Every month Paper Issues gives you a free cut file to play with.  How awesome is that??

Check out this month's file....isn't it amazing?

So I decided to play a bit with this file.  I only used the ends of the pattern and I created some flowers with it.   I don't usually play much with the files but this was fun!  I used the Bella Rouge collection from Pink Paislee.  I have almost used every single bit of this collection!!

And a few close ups

Hey everyone, it's new issue day at Paper Issues.  This week it's all About The Face: macro photos, portraits, school pictures, team photos, selfies, funny faces, close ups, bad photos, vintage photos, IG photos, etc., use August printables.

I decided to create a LO about myself (something I don't do enough).  I used the I am collection from Simple Stories and kept the design pretty simple.

And a few close ups:

Hey everyone, I'm here today with my last DT project for Love My Tapes.  I've had so much fun working with these tapes the last few months.  The possibilities are endless and they really make crafting easy!

Today I'm sharing a LO.  I cut out some chevrons with my Silhouette Cameo and then I covered them with washi.  I really like the effect it created!

And some close ups!

Check out the Love My Tapes store for a wide variety of tapes! 

Beach life

Hey everyone, it's Die Cut Saturday at Paper Issues today.  My all time favorite photos to scrap are summer photos.  The beach, the pool, the sun...I love it all!  Today's cut file is perfect for those beach photos you have!

I cut out numerous Beach life titles and created a background with them.  This is my 3rd LO with this Treasure Map collection from OA, I just love it!

You can see more projects with this cut file on the Paper Issues blog!

Hello card

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new card.

This design was really simple to make.  I just did a layer of washi take on white cardstock and then I added a cut file design on top of it.  I then added black outlining to make it pop.  I made the sentiment using fun foam with a die.

Here's a close up of the washi!  Don't you just love all those bright colors?

Check out the Love my tapes store to see all the fun washi tapes available!
