So Loved: Creating a Heart-Filled Scrapbook Layout with Bramble Fox Cut Files | Debbi Tehrani

This Valentine scrapbook layout is all about celebrating love through layers, texture, and heart-filled details, created using a Bramble Fox cut file, Perspextives, a stencil, and Paper Snips. While these photos weren’t taken on Valentine’s Day, the Valentine-themed elements felt like a perfect fit for documenting moments that simply express love—like these sweet photos of my friend and her granddaughter. I scrap exclusively in an 8 x 8 format, which means products often appear a little larger and more impactful on my pages, making it an ideal size for showing off the gorgeous Bramble Fox products. The bold reds, pinks, and mint tones made the Loved title from the Everyday Words pack and the butterfly and heart Perspextives from the Butterfly Kisses pack an easy choice. To build depth and visual interest, I also incorporated the new Hearts Background cut file, the Brick Wall stencil, and Paper Snips from the February Fox Box Plus, layering everything together for a cozy, love-soaked finish.

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Valentine-themed products aren’t just for one day—use them anytime your photos tell a love story.

One Title, Endless Possibilities

The starting point for this layout was the beautiful cursive Loved title, from the Everyday Words pack, which includes four versatile titles in a variety of colors. I love that these titles can be mixed and matched depending on your color palette—or even used on their own for a clean, simple title. Here, I customized the title by pairing it with alphabet stickers to create “So Loved,” giving it a more personal feel while still letting that gorgeous script Perspextive word shine.

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Don’t feel locked into premade titles—mix fonts and materials to create something uniquely yours.

Built on Beautiful Hearts

The Hearts Background cut file is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly user-friendly. The backing elements are included in the cut file, which makes assembly quick and stress-free—always a win. I backed the hearts with papers from an older BasicGrey Valentine collection, and the colors worked perfectly with the Bramble Fox pieces. Bramble Fox cut files are hands-down the best I’ve ever used—they cut smoothly and cleanly every time, even the intricate cut files. I created my subtle background texture using the Brick Wall Fox Cut Stencil #49, which adds interest without overwhelming the design. This awesome stencil is a must-have and includes brush swatches and paint splatters, so you really get five stencils on one sheet!

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Older patterned papers often shine brightest when paired with clean, modern cut files.

Flutter & Heart

The butterflies and hearts Perspextives used throughout the layout are from the Butterfly Kisses pack, which includes an assortment of colors that work beautifully together. I used all of colors on this page to repeat shapes and tones across the design, helping everything feel cohesive while still playful, and I still have a handful of them left for another layout!

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Repeating shapes—like hearts and butterflies—helps guide the eye around the page.

Happy Mail Details

How darling are the little mailbox and love-letter Paper Snips from the February Fox Box Plus? These fussy-cut pieces add such a whimsical, storytelling element to the layout and perfectly create their own little cluster in an open space beneath the cut file.

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Small themed ephemera pieces are perfect for filling visual gaps without adding bulk.

The Final Sparkle

After leaving my layout overnight—a favorite habit of mine—I came back with fresh eyes and knew it needed just a little something extra. I added shiny red pearls and stamped phrases to finish things off, giving the page that final pop of texture and shine.

💡 Debbi’s Design Tip: Walk away before calling a layout “done.” Fresh eyes always catch what you missed.

This layout was such a reminder that love doesn’t need a special date to be worth documenting. Valentine-themed products aren’t just for one season—they’re perfect anytime your photos tell a story of connection, care, and togetherness. From the layered hearts to the finishing touches, this page celebrates the kind of everyday love that deserves a place in our albums, and I hope it inspires you to reach for heart motifs and soft details whenever your photos call for them—no calendar required. Be sure to visit the Bramble Fox shop to see all the new goodies—especially the loads of awesome new cut files that are perfect for adding heart and personality to your pages. Until next time, keep scrapping the stories that feel like love, no matter the season.
