New Free Cut File – Shattered Glass

Scrapbook Nerd and the Cut Shoppe

 

Hello friends and fans!!

It is the beginning of a new month, which means time for a new cut file release!   YAY!!!

This month, our friends over at the Cut Shoppe  have created a super fun cut file,
“Shattered Glass”. This cut file is so fun and versatile, you will want to use it for your next
project.

Some of our creative team members have been playing with this cut file, and you are going to see how versatile it can be in the next projects.  First up is Nathalie.

 

She used the Silhouette Software to create the background for her scrapbook page by welding a polygon and the cut file.  The blank space in the middle of the background now becomes the perfect place to add her picture.

 

 

 

She used the colors and papers in Vicki Boutin’s All The Good Things collection to back some of the cut out empty spaces, and to create a bit of mixed media where the picture would be placed.  Then embellished the page with the coordinating add-ons from the All The Good Things collection from American Crafts.

 

 

Now before you run to the store for your free download, let’s take a look at what Joy created with this cut file:

Joy was inspired to create some masculine cards with this cut file. After cutting the file at approximately 8.5″x11″ she used it like a stencil with some Distress Inks. FREE Shattered Glass cut file, cards by Joy for scrapbooknerd.com

One of the perks of cutting paper stencils is that you can use the cut for a project when you’re doing with the inking. If you use the stencil with paint the paint will dry and create a protective layer on your paper stencil and make it more durable to use again and again. 

Joy created a big enough panel to make two cards from this one piece of cardstock.

Joy used a fine black marker to create a sketchy look on the stenciled paper to give the pattern a bit of pop and because she was going to use black cardstock on each of the cards.
These cards are fun and slightly snarky will used for her husbands birthday week.

Letting the background do most of the work Joy kept the sentiments simple and she did not use much to embellish the cards fronts.
