I'm obsessed with the Adore Alpha die set ( coordinating stamp set also available!), I think it's the best alpha die set out there! It's also two for one since you get outlines and inner pieces as well. Enamel dots for flower centers, and a few die cuts, puffy stickers around my photo. I added the 3d flowers and started embellishing. Using foam adhesive I glued down the cut file on my background. The top bit of my background is the Present and Perfect paper from the Everyday Musings collection, the bottom part is the Travel Icons paper from Out and About, turned on its side. Since I used this stamp cut file I thought it would be great to use the Tickets paper with all the different stamps on it. I also could have done this using my Cameo but it was an afterthought and by then I closed down the Silhouette software and I couldn't have gotten the sizing perfect. Please excuse my fussy cutting, I don't normally do such a bad job.
The white cut file was pretty much invisible on the background so I glued the stamp on a yellow card stock and fussy cut around it, leaving a bit of outline.
On my second layout I used a cut file that will soon be available as a freebie in the Pinkfresh Studio Facebook fan group, so don't forget to check every now and then for new cut files! I backed the flower and leaves with patterned papers and also die cut some layered flowers for additional dimension. I'm all about patterned papers, can't help it! I stamped my date and added my journaling, done and done. I added a few embellies, die cuts, epoxy clip, puffy stickers, not too many because I wanted the papers to shine. I layered some tissue paper and a bunch of die cut pieces, tags and labels behind my photo and glued the whole stack down in the middle, tucking a part of my picture behind the cut file. I thought the street map design fit my photo well. Then I adhered it on the Scenic Route paper. I turned the frame around and added foam tape everywhere, on the back of some of the flowers and leaves too. I then fussy cut out the whole middle part (I actually really loved the cut file on the rainbow paper but I thought it would end up too busy once I add photo and embellies). Once done, I carefully glued the thin frame on the New Places paper, then stitched it down so that it surely stayed put.
I first cut this gorgeous Paige Evans cut file from textured white card stock, then backed it with various patterned papers. Back to my layouts phew! Since most of our photos are travel photos I decided to work mainly with Out and About on both these layouts with a bit of other collections mixed in there (patterned papers).
