Fall Projects & To the Moon Day 4 | Niki Rowland

Hey everyone! This is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) back today with a fall layout and video using the To the Moon collection.

I have mainly focused on the To The Moon Bella Besties Collection Pack. I pulled out papers in Orange, Bell Pepper (yellow) and Pickle Juice (green). I also pulled out papers from the To the Moon collection that would also work: the wide striped paper, a green polka dot paper and a yellow paper with orange circles.

I cut up the striped paper and selected the stripes I wanted. I distressed the edges of each and stuck these to my background which is the Orange ombre paper. I also trimmed down my background, distressed the edges of that too and stuck this to a piece of white cardstock.

I wanted to make some origami corn embellishments as my photo is of my children eating corn at a recent trip to a sunflower farm. I found a great tutorial on YouTube which is here if you would like to watch it too.  I made these from green paper and yellow paper. For the green leaves I used the plain side but for the yellow side I used the hearts – they reminded me of the kernels on the corn! I made three of these, two big ones and one small.

I then used some cut files leaves, which I cut using my Silhouette Machine. I used the remaining part of the ombre green and yellow papers to cut leaves in varying sizes and shapes, and apples and pears too. All the cut files I used are by Bella Blvd and are linked below.

I stitched through all the leaves using gold thread and my sewing machine. I arranged these onto the layout around my photo together with the apples, pears and three corn embellishments that I made. I then added Heart Hugs in greens and kraft. I finished off with Trinkets Puffy Stickers and an acrylic title ‘perfect’ and a few splatters of paint.

Thank you very much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this layout, and enjoy watching the video below.

Happy scrapping

To The Moon Fall Projects Day 3 - Tegan

Good day Bella Blvd friends! On today's layout I used the adorable To The Moon collection to create this fun fall layout! I made sure to focus on the red, orange, aqua, white, and navy coloring in the To The Moon Besties Patterned Paper kit. I had SO MUCH FUN using this astronaut/boy themed collection to document some fall pics of my nieces! I call it 'Out of This World Fall Fun'! Come take a look! 

I used the super pretty Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Ice Patterned Paper for my background paper. All of the ombre papers make amazing backgrounds! I then blended some of my favorite To The Moon chipboard stickers and patterned papers with the coordinating Bella Besties patterned papers. I used the darling Florence Alphabet Stickers in Guacamole to start the title!

Here I used the Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Blueberry Patterned Paper and the Bella Besties Graph & Dot Patterned Paper in McIntosh layered with some To The Moon papers. The Bella Besties papers make great layering pieces! I then embellished this photo with adorable robot and astronaut chipboard pieces and a black corrugated Heart Hug sticker. Isn't that robot just the cutest?!

I then used the super fun Aria Puffy Sticker in Orange to finish the title. I then finished off the page by using clusters of the Trinkets Puffy Stickers in McIntosh around the page. I love dimension they add! What is your favorite part of the To The Moon collection?! 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I inspired you to grab some of the adorable To The Moon collection and some Bella Besties Patterned Papers for your next fall project!

Fall & To The Moon Week Day 2 | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a fall layout using the To The Moon collection and the Bella Besties. I also used two of the Bella Blvd cut files.

I went through the papers of the collection and picked the Borders, Little Explorer, Out Of This World, Reach For The Stars and The Sky’s The Limit and cut strips to make rosettes with them. Then I cut the Fall Leaves Outline cut file, for this I used the Bella Besties in Blueberry, Ice, McIntosh and Orange.

To build my layout I glued the rosettes and my photo, then I added the leaves from the cut file.

For my title I used the Autumn cut file. To finish my layout, I added the word days to the title and some Trinkets.

I love how this layout tuned out. Hope you all like it and get the inspiration to create beautiful things. You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Fall Projects + To the Moon | Sarah

Hello to all my Bella friends! Sarah (@redoaklines) here, today on the blog, and I'm kicking off this week with a brand new fall project I created using pieces from the To the Moon collection coupled with its Bella Besties papers. I love how all of these papers work seamlessly together for any project.

Here's what I created:

 

I focused mostly on the coordinating Bella Besties papers from the To the Moon Collection. Sure, the collection is geared toward out of this world cuteness, but there's a handful of beautiful, vibrant fall colors on these papers that work well with any fall project.

First up, I found an awesome Bella cut file in the Silhouette store. (Did you know Bella has a ton of cut files?!) I used the cut file named "Fall Leaves Outline", which can be found here.

 

 

Again, I focused on using the coordinating colors from the Bella Besties papers. I cut out a handful of various leaves, and layered them to the sides of my photos.

 

Then, I added some phrases from the Doohickey sheets right on top of my leaves to give my layout more dimension. I also added some Puffy Stickers from the To the Moon collection that matched with the papers.

 

Lastly, I used a photo corner punch to create these fun "arrow" shapes using various papers from the the To the Moon collection. I wanted to draw attention to my title and my two photos, so I pointed them all toward the center of my layout.

 

 

I scattered some hearts from the Florence alpha sticker sheets on top of the "arrows" at add a fun, messy look.

 

That's all I've got for now. Hands up if you think Bella Bestie paper collections rock?! Me! Me! I love that Bella collections always have coordinating Bestie papers. It makes it totally easy to find background papers to use. They always match up so nicely with all of the collections, so no need to even try to color match everything. Also, yes to finding all the Bestie papers that work with all those fall projects! It's a win-win over here.

Anyway, thanks for following along with me today. It's always a pleasure to be sharing my latest work with you all.

Until next time,

Sarah.

Sketch Week Day 6 | Melissa Mann

Good Morning!

I was so excited that I got to work with this month's sketch and it is such a GOOD ONE!! 

I loved the multiple photo option and the big title option on this sketch. I stuck pretty closely to the sketch but ended up moving my title just a bit to have the layout flow a little better to my liking.

I started by backing a piece of white card stock to a piece of pattern paper from the You Are My Sunshine paper collection. I used a piece of leftover flower cut-out on the white card stock and layered my pattern paper boxes on top. I stitched the pattern paper boxes together with my sewing machine. I ended up using three photos that were wider rather than longer and layered them cross the bottom of the more vertical boxes. 

Once I had the photos secured, I punched a bunch of hearts out of various papers from the You Are My Sunshine collection and used them in conjunction with a bunch of chipboard hearts from the Home Sweet Home and You Are My Sunshine Ciao Chip. I popped up a few of the hearts using foam dots. 

I filled up the boxes above my photos with journaling, my chipboard title word and ephemera from the You Are My Sunshine collection. I really loved how this project turned out :-)

Sketch Week Day 5 | Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Welcome back to the Bella Blog and another day of sketch inspiration! Erica here with you and I am excited to share my layout using this months sketch for inspiration. 

This months sketch is lovely and I had so much fun creating with it and my Bella Blvd stash of products.

I have been wanting to use the Zoo Crew cut file that is available in the Silhouette Design Store to document one of our summer zoo trips! I knew it would be the perfect title piece for my layout and I placed it towards the bottom of my page. The sketch does now show a cut file but it does have a large title so this works perfectly! 

I started with the Fairy Garden 12x12 paper from the Let's Go On An Adventure collection as my starting point for what colors I wanted to use. This is my favorite paper from this collection and I love to use it! I fussy cut some of the florals on this page because I knew I wanted to add them around the layout. 

I pulled papers to match the Fairy Garden paper from Squeeze the Day, Bug Explorer and the Chloe collection. I backed the cut file and also die cut some stitched hearts to layer up next to my photo,

I mixed up the sketch a bit but it was great to use as my inspiration piece to get my layout started and I love how it turned out! To finish it off I added my journaling and some matte enamel dots from the Cooper collection. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and we can't wait to see what you create with this months sketch!
