Beautiful Layout | Yarelys

Hey Bella friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you my new layout. To make this layout I used the collection My Candy Girl, as well as two cut files.

I started my layout by cutting my cut files. I cut the Seeing Stars Background cut file out of white cardstock and painted it with the Vicki Boutin Art Crayons in light blue, then I backed it with the Sprinkled With Love paper. For the Shooting Star cut file I used the Bubble Beauty paper; I cut just the star indifferent sizes to layer them and add dimension.

 I also cut a big star out of white cardstock, then I cut strips of several papers from the collection, cut a border with a punch and cover the star with them.

It’s time to build my layout! I glued the stars and my photo with adhesive foam to give them dimension. To finish my layout I added Ephemera, Doohickey, Bella-Pops, Washi Tape and Epoxy.

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. Thank so much for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Catching Up With Stars & Stripes Week - Day 4 | Melissa

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! 

Since we had You Are My Sunshine reveals during Stars & Stripes week, we were unable to share Melissa's awesome project! So today we're playing catch up because we wouldn't want you to miss out on her hard work and creativity!

Here is what Melissa had to say in her post...

Good Morning, Bella friends! This is Melissa here today with you and I have loved all the fun projects we have shared on the blog this week. I really loved working on my project for this week since it was all out red, white, and blue!

I started my project by using the "Seeing Stars" digital cut file that is available in the Silhouette Design Store HERE. I cut this out on white card stock and then layered that over a piece of dark blue pattern paper from the Fireworks and Freedom Paper Collection. 

This created the background for my project and added a bunch of already cut out stars that worked perfectly with the design of my project. Next, I spritzed some red and blue ink across the white card stock and let it dry. While it was drying, I cut out a large circle on a piece of scrap paper and once the ink was dried on my card stock, I used the circle as my template to get the first circle stitched on my paper with my sewing machine. I sewed multiple times in white thread and then placed some of the die-cut stars on my layout and then stitched those down with some blue thread. Lastly, I stitched around a few more times with red thread. 

Next, I layered my pattern papers and photos in a block and adhered down in the lower right hand corner. I knew I wanted to use the acrylic word "SPARKLE" and came up with the title "She Puts A Sparkle In Our Eye" which was layered above and below my pictures. I typed a single strip of journaling and glued that down underneath my title. 

Lastly, I used the acrylic patriotic stars, ciao chip, and doohickey stickers to fill in my stitched circle. 

Here is a picture of the full layout:

To the Moon & Besties Meet Summer Day 5 | Erica

Hey friends! Erica here with you today for Day 6 of To the Moon & Besties Day 6!

The colors in this collection are so much fun and perfect to document photos of our little Liam Jay! He loves being outside and playing on his swing set! The seesaw is his favorite! I pulled out some papers from the To the Moon collection to run through my die cutting matching with some of my stitched star dies.

For my background I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Mustard but it turned out more of an orange color which is actually perfect for this layout! I layered up some stars and scattered them around the page. 

I printed my photos at home and they are around a 2x2 size. I matted them using papers from To the Moon and popped them up on the star die cuts. 

Bella Besties are perfect to mix in with all the collections! I added some star puffy trinkets all around the page for a bit of contrast. I love how the black really pops with all the colors on the page. 

For my title I used one of the Ciao Chip from To the Moon and mixed it up with some Aria Puffy Alphas in Black. I love how this layout turned out and Liam's big happy face just shines on this page! 

It was so much fun to use the To the Moon collection to document one of Liam's favorite summer activities! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

To the Moon & Besties Meet Summer Day 4 | Yarelys

Hey Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you my new layout. To make this layout I used the collection To The Moon as well as the Bella Besties and one of the cut files.

To start my layout cut the cut file, I used the Lattice Background cut file. Then I cut squares from several papers of the collection and the Graph & Dot papers. I cut squares in different sizes to layer them and create dimension.

After cutting the squares and the cut file, I drew three squares in a white cardstock and painted them using the cut file as a stencil. I also hand stitched around the three squares.

To build my layout, I glued the squares and my photo with adhesive foam to give them dimension. To finish my layout I added Ephemera, Ciao Chip, Doohickey Stickers, Epoxy, Bella-Pops and Puffy stickers.

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. Thank so much for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

To the Moon & Besties Meet Summer Day 3 | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It's Tarrah back with you today to share a new Summer themed scrapbook layout featuring the awesome To the Moon collection together with Bella Besties!

I took the My Whole Universe paper and got my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the i LOVE Summer cut file from the different colors in the paper. I love how the title turned out! I trimmed down the Bella Bestie white heart and ombre paper and adhered it slightly on a slant to the Out of This World paper turning over the top left corner. I then trimmed off the excess paper as needed.

In the title, I decided to take the heart out that represented Love and I replaced it with the die-cut sun from the ephemera icon pack. I then layered the chipboard sun from the chipboard sticker icons over the top of the die-cut one. I then adhered the super small epoxy sticker sun from the Spaced Out epoxy sticker pack on top of the chipboard one. Also from the chipboard icons, I added 2 of the cute clouds above the title. I also added the chipboard arrow below the title and also added a strip of thin blue washi tape.

I adhered my photo using foam tape on the left of the 'M' in the Summer title, here I tucked in a tab die-cut on the left of the photo and trimmed down the dark blue scalloped border sticker from the Doohickey Sticker sheet and added the short piece at the bottom of the photo. I took the remainder of the scalloped sticker and added it to the top of the heart/ombre paper. On top of the photo, I added a tiny epoxy cloud and in the middle of the 'R' letter, I added a sun sticker popped up with foam tape and another sun epoxy sticker on top of the regular sticker. I took the 'I Heart U' from the Mr. Robot Bella Pop and the cloud from the Soar High Bella Pop and added them to the right of the photo. I love the dimension that the Bella Pops bring to a layout!

A few last things I added were some heart die-cuts, the flag die-cut on the left of the photo to look like my son is holding the flag and some of the puffy enamel dots from the Boy's World puffy stickers pack Lastly I stamped the date stamp.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Bella Blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it!

To The Moon & Besties Meet Summer Day 2 Tuesday | Melissa Mann

Good Morning, everyone!

I'm sharing a brand new project for this week that was made with the new To the Moon paper collection and the Bella Besties paper collections. I love how all of these paper collections work together seamlessly for any project you may be working on.

To start my layout, I backed a piece of Kraft card stock against a pattern paper from the To the Moon collection. I then layered a piece of vellum over the Kraft card stock. I cut a large circle out of a piece of scrap paper and then cut it apart like slices of pie. I pulled a selection of eight different patterned papers and cut a piece of the "pie" from each one and then layered that on the base of my layout. I stitched the edges of each piece of pattern paper down with my sewing machine. I layered my photo over another piece of Bella Bestie's paper and more vellum. 

The next step was to get my title and subtitle down. I used the Aria Alphabet Stickers and the Florence Alphabet Stickers to create my title around the upper half of my circle. To continue the fluidity of movement and enhance the circles, I punched more circles out of pattern paper and place them around the large circle I created with the pie shaped pieces of pattern paper. I used chipboard, stickers, matte dots, and die-cuts to complete the project.

I loved how this project turned out! Full of fun and color :-)
