Christmas Cut File 13 of 25 - Grinch Layout by Inessa Persekian

Hey friends, welcome back to the blog! Inessa Persekian here today sharing a festive new layout featuring Paige's Grinch from the new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection. This layout that is extra merry, extra bright, and FULL of personality - because yes, it features the Grinch and Max! I had the best time putting this page together and I love how playful and story-driven the final page feels.

I started with the purple Festive and Fun Paper for my background and added lots of machine stitching using gold thread for that holiday shimmer I love. The stitching gave the page an instant cozy, handmade feel. Next up was the Grinch cut file, which was such a joy to work with. I backed the file using a mix of papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad along with cardstock from my stash. To give it that extra sparkle, I added glitter glue accents - a little shimmer on the Grinch’s outfit and the cutest tiny glittery touch to Max’s nose. I used a 4x4" picture matted with white cardstock and patterned paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I added a second 2x2" photo, also layered on white cardstock and red patterned paper. These smaller layers helped balance the larger cut file. From embellishments, I added a Chipboard Sticker title, Puffy Stickers, Cardstock Stickers and a Tags Ephemera Die Cuts. I truly love how everything came together - bright, whimsical, layered, and full of texture. And of course... the backstory! This photo of my bestie was taken a couple of years ago when we waited six hours (yes, SIX!) to meet the Grinch. It was supposed to be a quick two-hour wait, but you better believe we captured the mood of the day while stuck in that never-ending line. It’s one of those memories that deserved a layout all on its own! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Paige’s Grinch from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Hello friends! Jackie Ashton here today sharing a layout featuring the Baubles from Paige's new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 paired with her Very Merry Christmas collection.

The Baubles are such a perfect festive design, full of charm and holiday sparkle. I wanted this page to feel joyful, colorful, and layered - bringing together all the things I love about Christmas crafting. To begin, I cut the Baubles from white cardstock and backed each ornament with patterned papers from the Very Merry Christmas collection. I stayed traditional with Good Cheer (red) and Stories of the Season (green) papers. For the background I used a sheet of plain white cardstock and added soft stenciling with red ink. The stenciling adds a lovely layer of interest without overwhelming the page and I love how the effect looks behind the baubles. Once the background was ready, I adhered the backed cut file using foam adhesive. This step really makes the baubles pop! I backed my 3x4" photograph with the same patterns from the 6x8 Paper Pad to keep the color scheme consistent. The double layer of paper helps draw the eye toward the photo while blending beautifully with the rest of the page. I finished my layout using Phrase Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Puffy Stickers, Icon Ephemera, Tags Ephemera, and Enamel Dots. I love how this page turned out! Traditional, textured, and full of holiday spirit! Paige’s Baubles cut file is not only beautiful but so versatile, making it easy to create a layout that feels festive and fun. If you’re working through the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 this one is an absolute delight to play with! Thanks for stopping by and I hope this page inspires you to check out Paige’s Baubles from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Wonder & Light Layout by Paige Evans

Hello scrappy friends! Here is a layout I made for the 12 Days of Holiday Giving over on the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog! I designed a Christmas Lights Star Cut File which you can download for free HERE then used my new Very Merry Christmas collection with Pinkfresh Studio to embellish!

To create this colorful and festive layout, I started by cutting out the cut file from white textured cardstock. I backed the 24 light bulbs with a solid color paper from the rainbow striped paper called Merry Memories – it has 8 stripes of color, which equals three bulbs from each color.

Once the light bulbs were backed, I hand-stitched around them with tone-on-tone thread for extra texture & interest. I made my background from a light pink textured cardstock background and splashed cosmic watercolors around to add a little sparkle & shine.

Aftering attaching the cut file to the background with foam squares, I tucked two 3x4″ photos inside and then made my title with one of the colorful Chipboard Stickers.

Finishing details include fussy cut holly leaves placed on top of the cut file, a few sentiment Puffy Stickers, journaling written on a Tag Ephemera Die Cut, and a sprinkling of Enamel Dots inside and around the star.

Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see how you use this Christmas Lights Star Cut File and I hope you check out my Very Merry Christmas collection with Pinkfresh Studio!

Christmas Cut File 11 of 25 - Candy Border Layouts by Audrey Mutschall & Antonia Sherlock

I'm delighted to share two layouts made with today's Candy Border from the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 by Design Team Members Audrey Mutschall & Antonia Sherlock!

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with another festive layout featuring Paige’s Candy Border from the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection.

I started by cutting the Candy Border twice from white cardstock and backing each piece with a variety of papers from the 12x12 Paper Pack and the 6x8 Paper Pad. Next I flipped one of the designs upside-down and placed it below the other one on a background piece of white cardstock. I cut a 2" section off the bottom of the white cardstock in a scalloped pattern and then added a piece of the candy cane stripes Made With Love Paper behind it. I sewed a border using a chain link stitch with white embroidery floss along the scalloped edge then added French knots in red embroidery floss for a little pop of color. I matted my photo with pink cardstock and a piece of the red Good Cheer Paper then added a title using the Phrase Cardstock Stickers and a Chipboard Title. Lastly, I added some sprinkles, sequins, Enamel Dots, and fussy cut candies from the Made With Love Paper. I hope this inspires you to create a layout with Paige’s Candy Border from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and to pick up her Very Merry Christmas collection for all your holiday projects!

Hello crafty friends! Antonia Sherlock here today sharing an interactive page from my December Daily album documenting my love for all things Christmas! I used the Candy Border from Paige's new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection.

To start, I resized the Candy Border cut file to fit my album. I used cardstock both for the main shape and for the backing – I wanted to keep it simple so it can stand out on the page. Next, I created the background and the pocket. I used 12x12 papers for this as the overall size of the page was the size of the album dividers, which was slightly bigger than 6x8". I used the blue snowflakes Holiday Style Paper for the background and the green leafy Stories of the Season Paper to create the pocket. The top edge of the pocket follows the shape of the cut file – this can be achieved by using different features on your cutting machine, but a standard shape pocket would be equally sufficient and easier to create. I used paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad to create a couple of tags for the pocket – the pink tag opens out to reveal more photos. I decorated the page and the tags using the Icon Ephemera Die Cuts, Tags Ephemera Die Cuts, Cardstock Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, and Enamel Shapes. I hope you enjoy this page it inspires you to check out Paige’s Candy Border from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Hello again friends! Ali Skifton here sharing a merry & bright layout using the Lightstrand Heart from Paige's new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

I backed the pretty Christmas lights with the rainbow stripe paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad and added mini foam squares to lift them off the white cardstock background for extra dimension. I used different ink colors to match each bulb and create a soft glowing effect then sprinkled coordinating Enamel Dots around the lights for a fun touch.

For the title, I used the Chipboard Sticker “Love” to document our heart photo from our trip to Chicago.

Christmas Cut File 8 of 25 - Peppermint Layout by Ali Skifton

Oh what fun! Ali Skifton here sharing a festive layout for the Paige Evans Design Team using the Peppermint from Paige's new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

I had such a great time turning this Peppermint cut file into a shaker element - especially using the Wood Stars which I painted a bright holiday red. It turned out to be the perfect design to document my adorable Peppermint the Reindeer drink from Disney! Of course, I had to include the deer and hot cocoa mug Icon Ephemera Die Cuts along with the sweet penguin, poinsettia, and holly Icon Ephemera Die Cuts. I sprinkled Enamel Dots around the clusters for a fun extra pop. For my journaling, I used my typewriter to create simple strips that tuck perfectly onto the page. I hope you enjoy this whimsical peppermint shaker layout as much as I loved creating it and it inspires you to check out Paige’s Peppermint from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Christmas Cut File 7 of 25 - Mittens Layout by Phil Donahue

Happy holidays scrappy friends! Phil Donahue here so happy to be back on Paige's blog sharing a festive layout featuring the Mittens from her 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection.

This layout features a fun, almost chaotic mix of papers which reflects the energy from the photo of my niece and her dad sledding. To begin, I cut the Mittens out from white cardstock then backed it with scraps from the 12x12 Paper Pack and the 6x8 Paper Pad. I added colorful Enamel Dots and Wood Stars and adhered the picture behind the heart shape. I used the vibrant red Good Cheer Paper as my main background and cut Festive and Fun Paper to an 11x11" square and placed it over the top. To add even more interest I used a snowflake pattern stencil and metallic green texture paste over that. I added the photo and backed cut file on the page with foam adhesive and created my title with the Puffy Alpha Stickers and snowflakes from the Puffy Stickers to complete the layout! I hope you found some inspiration in this layout and check out Paige’s Mittens from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Christmas Cut File 6 of 25 - Poinsettias Layout by Nicole Santos

Hello friends! Nicole Santos here today sharing a festive and fun layout featuring the Poinsettias from Paige's new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

I cut the Poinsettias from the Good Cheer Paper and I love how the bold pattern brings the poinsettia shape to life. To help it pop even more, I added some soft mixed media to my background - just enough color and texture to give the cut file that extra glow without overpowering the page. To balance the design, I tucked a torn strip of the Gift of Togetherness Paper along the bottom of the layout. It adds the perfect touch of grounding. For embellishing, I reached for goodies from the Very Merry Christmas collection: stickers, ephemera, and sweet festive bits that bring in all those classic Christmas vibes. I finished everything off with Wood Stars, beads, and buttons from my stash for that handmade, textured charm I love adding this time of year. This layout came together so happily and it feels like Christmas spirit on a page! I hope this page inspires you to check out Paige’s Poinsettias from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Christmas Cut File 5 of 25 - Ornaments Border Layout by Monique Lowe

Hi friends! Monique Lowe here today sharing a cheerful & festive layout featuring Paige's Ornaments Border from the new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection!

This page is packed with color featuring baubles in a rainbow sequence and sweet photos of my kids decorating the tree. I began with patterned paper strips from the 12x12 Paper Pack, punched them for a lacy edge, then layered each to back the ornaments for a frilly, textured effect. I also added a touch of glimmer paste for a hint of festive sparkle. Two baubles hold some of my favorite tree decorating moments. For the background, I used white mixed media cardstock, a stencil, and clear gloss gesso. Once dry, I added watercolor in matching rainbow shades - the gloss gesso resists, keeping the stenciled details beautifully white. I used foam strips to lift the cut file for dimension, making the ornaments pop off the page. Then I added a torn strip of the Stories of the Season Paper to the top of my page for the ornaments to ‘hang’ from. Now to embellish! I added a Chipboard Sticker title, pretty florals from the Icon Ephemera Die Cuts to a few of the baubles and a festive Tag Ephemera Die Cut. To finish off, I added a scattering of stars - Chipboard and Puffy - following my rainbow theme. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this page inspires you to check out Paige’s Ornaments Border from her bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and her Very Merry Christmas collection!

Season's greetings scrappy friends! Phil Donahue here so happy to be back on Paige's blog sharing a festive layout featuring the Xmas Mix Cassette Tape from her 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection.

For this layout I wanted to feature some of my favorite holiday album covers in colors that perfectly coordinated with my favorite paper from Very Merry Christmas! No matter the collection, I love a rainbow-stripe paper and the Merry Memories Paper was no different! This paper served as the inspiration for the layout, allowing me to use ALL THE COLORS! I created my background using the Merry Memories Paper along with Warmth and Wonder Paper. I resized the cut file to 11" wide and cut it from a light grey textured cardstock. Next, I backed it with large scraps from the collection, papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, along with gold foil and pink glitter paper from my stash. Lastly, I added 1x1" photos above and accented the page with stickers from the Phrase Cardstock Stickers and elements from the Icon Ephemera Die Cuts to complete the layout.

Christmas Cut File 3 of 25 - Rainbow Layout by Monique Lowe

Hi friends! Monique Lowe here today sharing a festive layout featuring Paige's Christmas Rainbow from the new bundle of 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 along with her Very Merry Christmas collection.

To start, I backed the Christmas Rainbow with a mix of papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and theFeels Like Christmas Paper. To give extra texture, I pierced holes along each rainbow arch and added hand stitching with white thread. It took a bit of extra time but I love the cozy, handmade look. The holly berries got dressed up with sequins and beads and I added delicate stitching to the snowflakes too. Pink Enamel Dots in the middle of each peppermint wheel and a star from the Chipboard Stickers found its home at the top of the Christmas tree. Next, I splashed some watercolors onto white mixed media cardstock in coordinating shades. Once dried, I angled the Good Cheer Paper across the left side of the page. Then down went the rainbow, bold and bright! This layout is extra special because I’m documenting my twins’ very first Christmas. It’s hard to believe it was a whole decade ago! Revisiting those photos brings back so many precious memories. I layered this precious family pic with vellum and another sheet from the 6x8 Paper Pad, tucked in a sentiment tab from the Tags Ephemera Die Cuts and florals from the Icon Ephemera Die Cuts, and finished with a sweet Phrase Cardstock Sticker. And that’s my first Christmas layout of the season! I had so much fun mixing stitching, sparkle, and watercolor splashes with the Christmas Rainbow cut file from the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2025 and Very Merry Christmas and just loved revisiting those magical first Christmas memories. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to pull out your festive supplies and document your own Christmas stories, whether they’re brand new or treasured from years past!
