Pumpkin Spice Layout by Elsie Robinson


Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Hey everyone, it’s Elsie Robinson here sharing another layout using Paige’s cut filesTruly Grateful collection! Now, this might be a super unpopular opinion, but I hate pumpkin spice lattes! I know. For a girl who’s favourite season is Autumn, it almost feels like sacrilege to not like this staple seasonal drink. But when I saw this Pumpkin Spice Latte cut file, it was too cute to not use on a layout!
 I firstly started by cutting the Pumpkin Spice Latte cut file from white cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo 3. I used several scraps of orange patterns to back the pumpkin and I used Paper 04 to back the cup - I love that deep pink pattern! I used white glitter paper from my stash to back the whipped cream and I used vellum to back the rest of the cup to give the look of a plastic lid.

For some extra interest on my background I was inspired by the cut file to create my own faux coffee cup stains. I used brown watercolour to paint the bottom of a coffee cup which I then stamped onto my paper and then added splatters to create a more authentic coffee stained look.

For my title I used the navy alphas (from the Pick-Me-Up collection) to spell out ‘pumpkin spice is really not nice’ which is a play on the phrase ‘pumpkin spice and everything nice’! I drew and cut out a speech bubble from Paper 06 to pop the title on, which I placed next to my photo. To embellish, I used a combination of Ephemera Die CutsCardstock Stickers, and Puffy Stickers. I also placed a 2" strip of Paper 18 across the bottom of my layout which I felt grounded the design and made everything come together nicely.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you check out Paige’s cut files for more inspiring designs!

  4. Pumpkin Spice isn't really a "thing" here in England so I don't know whether I would like it or not. However, I do like your layout! the coffee cup rings behind are inspired and everything goes so well together. I also like the stitched details.
