Cut & Keep vol.07 (mixy bits)

Welcome to Cut & Keep – Vol. 07, a collection inspired by the Italian philosophy of il dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing. It’s about slow afternoons, open windows, fresh citrus, wandering without a plan, and finding joy in the simple act of being present. This collection celebrates quiet pleasures, everyday beauty, and the little moments that don’t need to be productive to be meaningful.

Designed for both digital and hybrid memory keeping, Cut & Keep – Vol. 07 invites you to pause, snip, layer, collect, and create at your own pace. It tells stories of sunny mornings, market strolls, handwritten notes, garden blooms, favorite corners, spontaneous adventures, and those peaceful moments when time seems to slow down.

Packed with richly layered mixed-media elements, painterly textures, expressive word art, and beautifully tactile details, this collection is full of vintage charm and modern creativity. You’ll find dimensional flowers, butterflies, birds, citrus fruits, bicycles, botanical pieces, ribbons, labels, vintage ephemera, threads, stitching, handwritten notes, frames, tags, transfers, mixed-media layers, and plenty of beautifully imperfect details that make every page feel personal and collected over time.

The colour palette blends warm whites and soft creams with fresh citrus yellows, muted sage greens, gentle aqua blues, warm kraft tones, and subtle charcoal accents. Light, airy, and effortlessly elegant, these colours create a timeless foundation for documenting both everyday moments and meaningful memories.

Cut & Keep – Vol. 07 is a collaboration between Little Butterfly Wings and Studio Basic, thoughtfully designed for scrapbookers who love the freedom of combining digital creativity with hands-on crafting.
