Melissa Mann continues our Five Days of Love event with a beautifully layered layout, complete with lots of color, pattern and texture. We love how she created her title using the January Digital Cut File, and since we’re all about love this week, we think you will love it too!
Hey everybody! I really loved the “True Love” die-cut file included in the January 2017 Digital Cut File and wanted to highlight it on the layout that I’m sharing with you today.

One of my favorite things to do when working with cut files is to take the file and enlarge it to create a BIG title on my layout. I wanted to subtly enhance the title since it was cut on white card stock and I was backing against a white piece of vellum with black text. I used my sewing machine to add a bunch of stitching to the title and then used foam dots to adhere to my layout.
The bottom half of the layout was created by simply placing three blocks of patterned paper down on the background pattern and layering the 3″ x 4″ journaling tags from the January 2017 Exclusive Kit with my photo on top. Some of the die-cuts from the January kit were then sprinkled around and I hand-wrote a tiny bit of journaling on the cards.
I hope you are enjoying your January kit and the other January exclusives! Be sure to tag us on social media with #ellesstudio so that we can see your work, and possibly feature you in an upcoming blog post!
