FREE Beauty and the Beast Book Nook Cut Files

Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie and that’s saying a lot since I’m a huge Disney fan! Miss Mandee is also a big fan since she designs so many wonderful Disney inspired paper crafting projects including this stunning Book Nook. This layered die cut design features Belle and the Beast silhouettes dancing on the iconic staircase in Beasts castle with candelabras on the sides (a nod to Lumiere) and a big chandelier hanging above. She’s also used rose pattern paper for the backdrop and rolled paper roses on the front to represent the Beasts magic rose. She’s sharing these cut files for FREE that you can use with your electronic die cutting machine to make your own Beauty and the Beasts Book Nook to place between your Disney scrapbooks on a shelf.

Click here to visit the Miss Mandee blog to get the cut files.
