Let Us Adore Him - Sketch Week Dy 2 | Melissa Mann

Good Morning, friends! 

This is Melissa here today and I have a new project using the Let Us Adore Him collection and the fabulous sketch for this month!

I used a digital cut file for my white card stock background from the Bella Blvd Silhouette shop to create the stars and circles. I layered the white cardstock over a piece of pattern paper from the Let Us Adore Him paper collection. I love the multi-colored striped sheets that are in each collection and this made the perfect background to get a different peek of color through the the cut-out stars and circles on my background.

I splattered some ink in shades of red and black on my background and let that dry. While the ink was drying, I cut out three trees using the Evergreen Forest digital cut file from the Bella Blvd Silhouette shop and then distressed the edges of them with a sanding block. These were then stitched down on my layout using my sewing machine.

On each of my trees, I "decorated" them with small punched out shapes from more pattern papers from the Let Us Adore Him papers. I also used a couple of die-cut trees from the Ephemera pack.

Once my background was completed, I layered my photo with a couple of pieces of pattern paper and vellum. These were adhered down and then I furthered layered some more die-cut pieces and punched out stars around it. I placed my title above my photo using the Florence and Aria alphabet stickers. My journaling was typed out and placed in the upper left hand corner.

Supplies Used:

1. Let Us Adore Him Paper Collection
2. Starry Night Background Digital Cut File
3. Evergreen Forest Digital Cut File
4. Let Us Adore Him Doohickey Stickers
5. Aria Alphabet Puffy Stickers - Guacamole
6. Florence Alphabet Stickers - McIntosh
7. Let Us Adore Him Ephemera
8. Joy Puffy Stickers
9. Christmas Mix Enamels

Let Us Adore Him Sketch Week 1 | Sarah

Happy Monday! There is nothing better to inspire a little creativity than a beautiful sketch! I loved using the December sketch by Niki Rowland to create this piece! 

I started with the background using the Bella Blvd Seeing Stars cut file . I used the cut file and coordinating distress oxides to mimic the background of the sketch.

I then used the Bella Blvd Evergreen Forest cut file to cut a couple of trees in white. I used strips of the green patterned papers from Let Us Adore Him and fringe scissors to cover the trees. I also added distress oxides behind the trees to give a little glow! 

I then placed my sweet photo of our family towards the bottom right corner of the layout layered with two layers of patterned paper from the collection. I added flowers and leaves from the Ciao Chip pieces, puffy stickers, and Doohickey sheet in two clusters on opposite corners. I also added some phrases from the ephemera pack and Ciao Chip to the bottom left of the photo. The acrylic title “joy” finished off the photo. 

I created a cluster in the top left of the layout using phrases and words from the ephemera pack and Doohickey sheet. I added some journaling and dots from the puffy stickers around the page and finished off my layout with glitter! 

I hope you will use this sketch to get creative this week! Have a wonderful week!!

Let Us Adore Him + Puffy Stickers & Florence Alphas Week -Day 6 | Sarah

Hello, beautiful Bella friends! Tis the season! Can you believe we're in December?! I honestly can't believe how fast this year has been; it flew! Anyway, it's me Sarah (@redoaklines) here today on the blog, and I'm sharing another layout using the Let Us Adore Him collection with the help of puffy stickers and Florence alphas.

Here's what I created:

 

Did you know that the Bella Besties Puffy Trinkets come in a ton of different colors? There's one for every color under the rainbow, and I wanted to showcase how these colors match with the Let Us Adore Him collection. If you haven't already seen all the colors that these puffy stickers come, make sure to go and check it out! You won't regret it; they were meant to match up with every released Bella collection.

 

 

I started off by framing two photos with coordinating papers from the Let Us Adore Him collection. I then went mixed media happy and added inked hearts off to the side. To further embellish around my two photos, I scattered JOYs off to the side of my photos using Florence alphas in a rainbow of colors that matched my inked hearts.

 

 

Then, I found all the Puffy Trinkets that would coordinate with the Florence alphas that I used to create the JOYs. I embellished with a bunch of puffy flowers scattered in their designated color zone.

 

 

For my "December Joy" title, I combined pieces from the Ephemera Icons and stickers from the Doohickey sticker sheet. I, of course, had to add another puffy sticker as center of my flower that I used as an "O". I also added scalloped border strips underneath the title to make it stand out more.

So, who thinks the Let Us Adore Him collection is awesome?! Me! Me! I've been having so much fun creating with it. The colors are so wonderful, and I love how this collection really shows the joy of the Christmas season. I'm also really into the Bella Bestie Puffy Trinkets and Florence alphabet stickers (obviously) because they match with all of the collections that have been released. No need to color match everything with these; I call that a win!

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

Let Us Adore Him, Puffies & Florence Week Day 5| Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Erica here with you today to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout featuring the Let Us Adore Him Puffies and the Florence Alphas! 

I started out with the new Bella Blvd Cut Out The Reason! I cut the heart cut out in half and backed it with papers from the Let Us Adore Him collection. 

For my background I used a piece of white textured cardstock that I trimmed down to 11x11. I used some Catherine Pooler inks in It's A Girl and Party Dress to create some color around where the heart would lay. I added foam adhesive to the back of the backed heart cut out and stuck down to the page. For the second half of my heart I filled in the spot with fussy cut hearts from the 12x12 Purity paper and puffies from the Let Us Adore him collection. 

My photo is from my holiday creative weekend with one of my crafty friends! I added some layers of pattern paper behind my photo and created a cluster in the bottom right corner of my photo. 

I used the Florence Alphas in Mcintosh to create my title going around the left side of my heart. To finish off my page I matted the white cardstock on a piece of Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre in Punch and then matted the whole thing onto the Purity 12x12 patter paper. I love how it turned out!

Let Us Adore Him, Puffies & Florence Week- Day 4| Niki Rowland

 

Hey everyone, this is Niki @nikiclairecreates and I have a new layout and video to share today using the Let Us Adore Him Collection. I really love this cute collection which is packed full of pretty Christmas colours and icons.

I opted for a star theme today and cut out several stars from the patterned papers in the collection. I used metal dies for this and cut three different sized stars from five different papers. I wanted some solid pink too so grabbed a sheet from my Bella Besties pack. I then scored each of the stars five times from each point, then folded them all to create 3D stars. I love the effect and they are so very easy to do!

I arranged all my stars onto the layout together with my photo and a few squares from the ephemera. I arranged these on both sides of the layout, leaving a gap in the middle. I wanted my title to be the middle feature of the layout so having that gap worked as a great place for my title.

I created my title out of an ephemera word ‘Christmas’ and then used the beautiful Florence Alphabet stickers in red to create the rest of the title, which reads ‘the magic of Christmas’.

I then added lots of adorable puffy stickers! I used the ones from this collection to add trees and stars. I also added red puffy Trinkets – hearts and stars. I also added enamel stars and a few dots too.

I finished off the layout with splatters of white paint. I absolutely love how this one turned out. Enjoy watching the video below.

Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping

Let Us Adore Him + Puffy Stickers and Florence Alphas Day 3 | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Hope you are having an amazing day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Let Us Adore Him collection and one Bella Cut File.

To start my layout, I went through the papers of the collection and picked the Humble, Noel, Prince Of Peace and Rebirth, and made four 3D Christmas trees. I also picked the Peace On Earth, Light Of The World, Grace and Oh Holly Night papers and used them to cut the Evergreen Forest cut file.

Now it’s time to build my layout! I glued my photo with adhesive foam to give it dimension. Then, I glued all the trees.

For my title I used the Florence Alphabet Stickers in Gulf, McIntosh and Guacamole. To finish my layout I added Puffy Stickers, Ephemera, Doohickey and gold splatters.

I love how this layout tuned out. Hope you all like it and get inspired 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!
