Guys Will Be Guys Mini Album | Teen Vibe Carson Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! It's Tara with Secretbees Studio with a new project to share with you! This is my first creation with the new Teen Vibe Carson collection and it's amazing!

This mini album will not only hold great photos of your teen boy but it will also look great as shelf or desk decor! I created the easel itself from sturdy card stock and then made four pages to go along with it. Each of the pages was covered in the fabulous patterned paper of the collection and then totally decked out with all of the awesome embellishments! The cover of the album is made from the Stars Clear Cuts acetate that is included in the collection.

Each page has a side tab for easier flipping and features a spot for a photo in a mixture of sizes. The icons and ephemera were layered together with lots of the multicolored epoxy stars and dots of the collection!

 

The icons and ephemera of this collection are perfect for so many stages of a boys life! You have sports, trucks, games, fashion and of course food. I had so much fun designing these pages and adding all of the fabulous stickers, chipboard, icons and ephemera! If you are in the market for a teen boy collection, look no further- this one has it all!

Gamer | Teen Vibe Carson Collection | Scrapbook Layout | Yvette Weber

 

Yvette is here today, and I'm thrilled to share my first layout using the vibrant and fun Teen Vibe Carson collection! This collection, with its lively color palette and charming embellishments, is not just inspiring but also a personal favorite. It's a joy to work with and perfect for highlighting the remarkable guys in our lives. As part of this week's assignment, we were asked to include more than two photos using the Carson collection. I used three fun photos that captured my son enjoying his game time, adding a personal touch to the layout!

 

 

I had so much fun cutting out circles of all different sizes from the Let's Talk, Limited Edition, Athletic, Streaming, and Control Freak patterned papers. Then, to make my photos stand out, I cut three large circles at 3 3/4 inches and added some lovely hand-stitching around the edges. I also cut three smaller circles at 3 inches and stacked them together before placing them horizontally across my pages.

 

 

I then arranged all the circles diagonally across the page, starting from the top left corner and ending at the bottom right corner. This creates a visually striking layout that guides the viewer's eye from the title to the photos, ensuring that each element of the layout is seen and appreciated!

 

 

The puffy sticker phrase' Food Screen Sleep Repeat' perfectly captures the essence of my son's favorite pastimes, and I thought it would be a fun and relatable title for this layout.

 

 

I added a few more elements around the page and completed it with black paint splatters and small punch stars. The overall result is perfect.

 

 

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today. I truly appreciate your time and hope you enjoyed my latest page. I hope it inspired you to scrapbook and create your own unique layouts.

Yvette xoxo

Welcome Bella friends... Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing from the NEW Teen Vibes Carson collection. It is all about the boys today. This collection is full of sporty fun that you can use to create cards or to capture those sport moments on a scrapbook page. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Cut an A2 panel non the Athletic paper and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue.

 

Die cut or machine cut a foot ball out of the Just Chillin paper and white cardstock. Add the football to your card using foam tape. 

 

Pick out these other fun sports themed images from the new Ephemera Icons and Ciao Chip and layer them in the middle of the card using foam tape and liquid glue. You can pick out any images you like because there are so many to choose from. Don't be scared to layer them.

I then added some of the new red Be Brave Epoxy dots here and there. 

 

Finishing with this fun sentiment from the new Ephemera Words 

 

Don't you just love that fun Athletic Paper? 

Creating a card to give your athletic kid or husband will for sure bring them some encouragement.

Teen Vibe Caitlyn Scrapbook Layout | Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Erica here to share my first 12x12 scrapbook layout using the Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection!

I am so in love with this new collection! I love the pops of black and the florals! This collection can be used for more than just a teen which I also love! I decided to create a layout to document my skateboard loving niece!

I found a super cute cut file from The Cut Shoppe that I thought would be perfect with my photos and this collection. I cut the file out with some black textured cardstock to help the colors in the collection pop even more. 

I backed the file with different pattern papers from the Caitlyn collection. Once the file was backed I added foam adhesive all over the back and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed down to 11x11. Next I added a piece of black cardstock that is sized to 11.25x11.25 and then matted onto the 12x12 Glam pattern paper. 

I added my photos around the layout and created some embellishment clusters around each photo. I used the Epic title piece under one of the photos along with one of the Doohickey stickers. To finish off the layout I added my journaling and a few enamel stickers. 

Super colorful and I just love how it turned out! Another page for my nieces scrapbook! Thanks so much for stopping by the Bella Blog today!

Fun, Bro! Mini album using Teen Vibe Carson with Conny Craig

Hey Crafty Friends!

It's Conny here, I'm excited to share with you a lovely mini album that I put together using the Teen Vibe Carson collection. This mini album is a special way for me to capture and cherish some important milestones and memories of my husband. It's funny how boys never really stop being teens at heart, right? This collection perfectly captures his interests and hobbies, from his love for basketball games to his passion for playing video games and unwinding in his way. It's all about showcasing his growth and evolution as a man, leveling up in different aspects of his life every day. I love this man so much!

 

Let's get started with the cutting guide.

2 Chipboard covers measuring 4" X 5"
1 Chipboard spine measuring 5" X 1.5"
2 pieces of 110lb black cardstock 5.5" X 6 3/4"
1 piece measuring 3 1/4 X 6 3/4", Control freak paper.
1 piece of 110lb cardstock 6" X 5"
2 pieces of cardstock for inside the album to cover the chipboard measuring 3 7/8" X 4 7/8".
PAGES:
4 7/8" X 4 1/2" - Score at 1/2" - First Page
4 7/8" X 7 1/2 - Score at 4 7/8" and 4 3/8" - Second page
4 7/8" X 12" - Score at 1 7/8", 5 3/4", 6 1/4" and 10 1/8".

Instructions:

To create the book cover, I prepared the chipboard covers, which measured 4" x 5". I added double-sided tape to the covers and then carefully placed them on the heavy 110lb black cardstock. Each piece of cardstock measured 5.5" x 6 3/4", providing a perfect fit with about 3/4 of an inch of extra space all around. Using a book cover guide tool, I trimmed the corners at the proper angles and then wrapped the chipboard, resulting in a finished look similar to the one shown in the photo above.

I repeated a similar process with the chipboard spine, which measured 5" x 1.5". Instead of black cardstock, I opted for a single piece measuring 3 1/4" x 6 3/4" of Control Freak paper.

FOLLOW THE STEPS!

1. Take 1 piece of 110lb cardstock measuring 6" x 5".
2. Score the cardstock at 2 1/8" and 3 7/8".
3. Place the chipboard spine, covered with the control freak paper, in the middle of the scored cardstock, leaving about 2 1/8" on each side.
4. Trim the flaps at an angle that will be adhered to the covers. You can refer to the example photos for guidance.
5. Add double-sided tape to the flaps and also apply a small amount of liquid glue.
6. Adhere the covers to the flaps.

I covered the chipboard inside the album with black cardstock from the Bella Besties, measuring 3 7/8" X 4 7/8".

PAGES:
4 7/8" X 4 1/2" - Score at 1/2" - First Page
4 7/8" X 7 1/2 - Score at 4 7/8" and 4 3/8" - Second page
4 7/8" X 12" - Score at 1 7/8", 5 3/4", 6 1/4" and 10 1/8". Third Page

When selecting papers for the pages, you have the freedom to choose from your favorite collection. However, I have personally chosen Let's Talk and The Guys. These papers all have a 1/2" inch margin that can be adhered to the spine. Furthermore, the third page features pockets that offer flexibility in terms of layout. These pockets can be flipped in and out, and I opted to have them facing each other.

I made sure to leave the last page blank so that I could add a current photo from this month. I enhanced the photo and layered it on top of the cardstock, creating a small cluster of embellishments. That's all for now!

Thank you for stopping by, XoConny!

All The Girl Stuff | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! Tara with Secretbees Studio here with an adorable project featuring the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection! If you have a collection like this one with so many fabulous icons, embellishments and patterned papers, the best way to show everything off is to create a pocket letter!

I used a pocket page that has nine 3x4 pockets, combining the two at the top as one. I picked out just a few of the pretty papers that featured mostly light pink tones and cut them to size. For a bit of flair, I added a single black paper to the center and added in a few black touches throughout the rest of the page. A mixture of ephemera, words and stickers were layered onto the pockets and accented with heart and flower epoxy stickers!

Of course, one of the pockets is filled with shiny sequins and another features an actual pocket that is stuffed with two amazing Bella Pops. For even more shine, I added some glittery card stock to two of the pockets and layered in more silver and pink sequins too! It was so hard to choose the embellishments for the tops of the pockets, but I knew no matter which ones I decided on, it would be a beautiful pocket page!

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Hope I inspired some creativity!
