Three Fall Page Ideas & Free Cutting File

Today I am going to be sharing a few of my creations using the BRAND NEW Scrumptious Collection. I created three layouts with this fun, bright, and festive collection. I remember when Heidi first showed me Scrumptious, I was so excited to CREATE layouts with it! My first page is called "The Patch." I got this inspiration for this one from sort of a corn maze. Well, a very symmetric one at that ;) . I love combining patterned paper to create my own patterns. The Scrumptious collection is JUST perfect for this page! Take a peek!

 Next, I created this fun fall layout of my family celebrating Halloween last year. Again,you will see that I love to use TONS of patterned papers together (and sewing too). In this layout and then one above I specifically created this layout to feature those AWESOME brads! I love the way they pop on a page. My favorite thing about Scrumptious collection is everything is coordinated so well. It is easy to combine the papers without getting that cluttered look! Here is my second page.

On to my third page which I created a cut file for. This shape sort of reminds me of a spider web so when I created it, I had that in mind. The Scrumptious papers fit into this design so well. You can see how well the colors of the collection make the colors of my photos pop! How cool is that. I hope you will like our 2nd giveaway. A free cutting file I created.

Layout + Free Cutting Files

Hey there. This is Pam and today I am sharing my page that I created with a free cutting file. I started with an idea of overlapping half circles over one and other and realized that after I created my design, it kinda looks like mini rainbows! I repeated the design and then erased out some of the half circles. 

Here is how my layout came out. 

 

  

  

Supplies: Chickaniddy Date Night: Awesome Blossom (DN14OS01), Cutest Couple (DN14OS05), Together is Better (DN14OS09), Downtown (DN14OS03), Plaid is Rad (DN14OS12), Sticker Sheet (DN14EB02), Mini Banner Stickers (DN14EB03), Mini Sticker Tags (DN14EB04), Enamel Hearts (DN14EB07), Brads (DN14EB06); Twirly Girly: Paper Posies (TG14OS05), Tea Party (TG14OS03), Keepsakes (TG14OS040, Piggy Tails (TG14OS12); Gold Foil Paper (CN14SP001).

Rainbow Technique and Free Cutting File!

Hi all, we are having a giveaway at the Chickaniddy Crafts blog, so hop on over there to leave a comment and be in the running. We are have a challenge related to my pages below: http://www.chickaniddy.com/blog/

On to my first project. I created a rainbow background and put my elements on top of it. I cut various patterns at about 1/2 inch wide and about 10 inches long and created a rainbow which went from pinks to blue and back to pinks. I die cut my title out and placed it directly over the pattern to create a neat effect.

 You know what I love about the Chickaniddy collections? At the bottom of the patterned paper, on the flip side of the product information, there is a pattern that you can cut out and use. I will try to indicate which papers I used came from what strips of paper below (they are in italics).

Here are some close-ups

Supplies used:Twirly Girly paper: Birthday Girl (TG140S02), Party Dress - bottom strip dark yellow (TG14OS06), Grandma's Quilt - pink pattern and bottom strip dark green, (TG140S10), Tea Party - Light Yellow strip (TG14OS03), This and That -bottom strip dark orange polka dot (TG14OS07), Itty Bitty Ballerina - bottom strips gray polka dot (TG14OS08), Piggy tails Yellow stripe and gray polka dot (TG14OS12); Sticker Sheet (TG14EB02); Brads (TG14EB06)

Date Night paper: Downtown (front and back pattern) (CN14OS03),Spiffy Tag (DN14OS07); Mini Sticker Banner (DN14EB03); Mini Sticker Tags (DN14EB04), Sticker Sheet (DN14EB02)
Other: White cardstock, Yellow cardstock, Silhoutte machine



DON'T FORGET: I have the cutting file for my next page under the product list.  On my second page I am going to go into step by step on how I created this look. This layout was completed using lots of strips of paper and patterned paper cut into strips (about 1/2 inch wide) and cut into a circle. I started with cutting a ton of strips of paper from both collections and laying them out on the table. I did not use every single one, but this helped me when figuring out which ones to use. Here is a photo of that.

Next I die cut my background using a cutting file (the free cutting file) I created for my Silhouette. I did this next because I wanted to know how large to cut out my circles. I cut out slightly larger circles on my silhouette because I wanted to be able to fill the circle entirely with patterns underneath. Here is a photo of my die cut.

Next I got out all of the extra circles I created, figured out where they would go, and started to add my papers to the circles. For each circle I adhered one color line but with different colored strips to each circle. I cut off the ends so the end product would be circles with different color lines. The main colors I used were: Dark grey, grey, light grey, dark blue, light lime green, darker greens, mint (blue/green), dark yellow, orange, pink, and dark pink. Here is a photo.

You will see in the final product here I chose to add circles from the sticker sheets over some of the patterns because I thought it looked better. I also embellished my page quite a bit,  and added my text and photos.

Here are close-ups.

I am going to share again in the product list the bottom strips of the paper in italic.
Supplies: Twirly Girly paper: Rosy (TG14OS01) Birthday Girl (TG140S02, Tea Party  gray/ white diagonal, bottom strip light yellow (TG14OS03), Paper Posies - bottom strip orange (TG14OS05), Party Dress (TG14OS06), Keepsakes - pink w/writing,  green pattern, teapots, bottom strip pink (TG14OS04), Grandma's Quilt - pink pattern and bottom strip dark green (TG14OS10); Itty Bitty Ballerina - solid orange, solid gray, solid dark pink and bottom strips gray polka dot (TG14OS08), Never Grow Up (TG140OS11), Piggy tails - pink notes, yellow stripe, gray polka dot,dark pink pattern), and bottom strip dark pink polka dot (TG14OS12); Alpha Stickers (TGEB01), Mini Banner Stickers (TG14EB03); Mini Sticker Tags (TG14EB04), Enamel Hearts (TG14EB05)

Three Pet Pages Using Same Collection and Free Cutting Files

Hi everyone it's Pam here today sharing three pet pages with you using the brand new Chickaniddy Date Night Collection. This collection is so versatile! I am going to show you how to complete three completely different pet pages using different color combinations and papers. For each page I am going to share with you the color palette in paper form to help you get inspired.

My first page is about my dog, Gabby. She is such a loving, loyal dog. I wanted to capture in a not too girly but still in a sweet way- ya know she is a German Shepherd ;). The Date Night collection has all of the right colors to scrapbook here. I chose a little orange, with touches of mint, florals, and a great brown background.

Here is a close-up of how I did my journaling. I typed it out and put in the right amount of space so the papers and stickers would not overlap the journaling.

As for the color palette I chose, here is the color palette.

Supplies Chickaniddy Date Night Paper: Dance School (DN140S02), Cutest couple (DN140S05), Together is Better (DN140S09), Backwoods Lovin' (DN140S10), Downtown, (DN140S03), Spiffy Tags (DN140S07), Plaid is Rad (DN140S12); Alpha Stickers (DN14EB01); Sticker Sheet (DN14EB02); Mini Sticker Banner (DN14EB03); Mini Sticker Tags (DN14EB04); Enamel Hearts (DN14EB07); Brads (DN14EB06)

other: Tangerine Colored Cardstock, White Pen

For my next page I went with a whole different color palette. I created this fun layout about my dog and snow. It RARELY snows at all here so it is a treat for a dog who grew up mostly in northern Ohio. She just loves to snow even if it is a dusting. For this color palette, you can see I chose brighter colors from the Date Night Collection like the mint green,blues,oranges, and patterned white papers. I even die cut some foil paper with the word "fun". This page was inspired by a layout by Diane Payne here on the Chickaniddy blog!

Here is my color patterned paper palette.

Supplies Chickaniddy Date Night Paper: Cutest couple (DN140S05), Together is Better (DN140S09), Downtown, (DN140S03), Spiffy Tags (DN140S07), Plaid is Rad (DN140S12);  Mini Sticker Banner (DN14EB03); Mini Sticker Tags (DN14EB04); Enamel Hearts (DN14EB07); Brads (DN14EB06); 12X12 Silver Foil Paper (CN14SP002)

other: Tangerine Colored Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Photo Corners, White Pen


For my last page, I used the softer, sweeter patterns for a page about my dear cat. Mia is 14 years old but just as beautiful as ever. Her calico fur still looks great. I wanted to include softer muted colors so I would not overpower my photos. I chose the softer oranges, mints, grays and off white patterns. SCROLL down for a free cutting file of the hanging hearts!

This is the color palette I used.

Shapes Plus Banners...Plus new cutting File!

Hi everyone!! This is Pam and I am going to be sharing what I have been working on lately. I have been pairing strips of paper (I am calling them banners) with shapes. You will see this with a couple of different layouts I have completed recently. The first page features hearts plus a banners. I created this cutting file in Photoshop and then cut it with my Silhouette in may different sizes. I cut the middle heart out in a different pattern and adhered them to my page. Here is the result: a fun Valentine's page with lots of hearts! (I will be giving this cutting file away soon on this blog, so make sure you come back to get it)

 "Love You" by Pam Callaghan

For my next page, you can see I used the same idea, but with stars. I mean, what goes better with Iron Man than some stars representing his power? My son loved his costume so much, I needed something that expressed his enthusiasm for it. Here is my page and digital cutting files after that!

Now onto the digital cutting files. These files are for personal use ONLY. Contact me if you would like to use them for anything other than a personal file. Here is a preview first.

Chickaniddy Page Plus Free Cut Files!

Hi there! It's Pam here again sharing another layout and cut files!  I  created for the CHA winter show for Chickaniddy Crafts. I also included cutting files, .svg, .studio, and .jpeg that I created that go with my page. I love SHAPES on pages. If you checked my pinterest boards you will see this along with my gallery. I love to create them and pin them. :)

This page was inspired by a dartboard and the focal point of it is my parents. They are such a great couple and been together for almost 50 years, wow! I currently have the Silhouette machine and I created my own template to use for my page. I will share this below. I cut out the pieces with different patterned papers. Next, I created tabs and typed out the text in Photoshop. I have included this in my templates, so if you want to print them out and write on them, that would work really well! The Chickaniddy Date Night Collection worked perfectly for my page!
Here is my page to start out with!

As you can see I used a ton of paper, embellishments, stickers, and such. This was such a fun page!! I just LOVE the Chickaniddy Crafts Date Night collection!

Here is the JPEG file for the outside round template. Below are the SVG and STUDIO files links. I put the entire shape in the cutting file in case you wanted all one color. If not, just delete the ones that you don't want.
