Life Crafted and cut files with Nathalie

Hi there!

Nathalie with you today with a few ideas on how to combine the fabulous EXPLORE Life Crafted kit with this month's digital cut files.  One of the perks of subscribing to Citrus Twist Kits is that you receive digital subscribers only  cut files and additional PL cards that will stretch your kit.   I pulled a few of these files and created a few entries in my albums:

Let's start with a simple idea on using the cut file to create title PL card. 

I cut the "Find Joy Everyday" cut file to create the 4x6 title card in this layout.  The cut file was sized to fit inside a 4"x6" card and cut from white cardstock.  It then was glued to a piece of the Explore kit papers  cut to fit inside  Insert 3 configuration.

I added a few embellishments using pieces from the add on.  The journaling spot was created using digital files and embellished with puffy stickers and some stamped sentiments from the Traveler's Notebook stamp set.

I used a tag  (available in the CTK shop) to add my picture.   A small cluster  was then added using a combination of pieces from both the Explore kit, cut apart elements and Pinkfresh Studio embellishments (available at the CTK shop).

Each month there are new cut files added to the subscriber's perks, and the new BeYouTiful was one that i wanted to use to create the title page for this layout.

The cut file was sized to fit the width of the Life Crafted page, cut from white cardstock and then backed with papers from the Explore LC kit.   I used the woodgrain paper as the background for the page, so that all the colors and butterflies will pop from the page.

The collage  of photos of my girlies fits the 4"x6" space from Insert 3, so all that was left to do was create the journal spot.  This was easy to do by combining pieces from the PL cards, cardstock and puffy stickers and some of the cut outs.  The following video will show you how it was put together:

If you are a subscriber remember to check the Digital tabs to get all this month's cut files.  You can also purchase some of the cut file designs in the CTK digital shop, but consider subscribing to CTK  -our subscribers receive a few perks each month-.

That is all for me today.  If you have questions on how these came together, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Til next time,
