Tiny Tots 2.0 Collection + Bella Besties Week, Day 6| Brianna Lepper

Hey y'all!  Brianna Lepper here today sharing a new layout using the super adorable Tiny Tots 2.0 collection.  I'm currently obsessed with triangles and thought it would be fun to create large ones as main elements on my page.  

To start, I traced and cut out triangles using the Plaids and Dotty paper in Bell Pepper as well as the Graph & Dot paper in Ice.  I ran each one through my sewing machine using the opposite color of thread for my stitching.  So for the Bell Pepper papers, I used blue thread and for the Ice papers, I used yellow thread.  I popped them all up on foam tape and adhered them to a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed down to 11x11.  I adhered that piece to the top of the Be Brave 12x12 patterned paper and ran that through my sewing machine.  

I used the four triangles as placements for my title, photo and embellishments.  I made my title using the Aria Alphas in White and the Wonky Alphas in Bell Pepper.  My photo is of my oldest son Noah, while he was taking a bath in his old blow up rubber ducky bathtub.  It was the cutest thing and this photo was perfect to use with this collection.  He was almost two in this photo and I can't believe how quickly time flies by!  He's going to be sixteen in August!

I matted my photo using a few other patterned papers and adhered it down to the triangle on the far right.  I added the cute rubber ducky Trinket Puffy sticker as well as some Ephemera icons that look like bubbles. 

A yellow Cute Clip was the perfect addition to my photo and added that nice pop of color.

I had so much fun embellishing using more Ephemera Icons and Words and Ciao Chip Chipboard stickers.

Here's one last photo of my page: 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way!  Have you incorporated triangles into your pages?  They're fun to create with and make great spots for your embellishments and photos.  See you in my next post friends!

Tiny Tots + Bella Besties Week Day 4 | Karlla Dauer

Hello Bella Friends.

Karlla here, and I'm so happy to share a new layout with you.

"Bella Besties" makes me so happy. I love the color of this line. for these projects I chose to work with monochrome. highlighting the pink tones "Tiny Tots 2.0 + Bella Besties".

For the background of the project, I mixed the pink papers "Bella Besties" with the "Play Date". I love to rip the edges of the papers and lift them up to give that detail. I just did it in one corner and worked on it.

I love frames. I chose to use the beautiful frames you find on "Ephemera" for my photos. I thought it super fun.

On the diagonal of the photos, I created arrangements with the beautiful embellishments from the "Tiny Tots 2.0" collection. A mix of ephemera, Play Time Puffy Stickers and chipboard. I also used "Puffy Stickers - White Trinkets". I love these accessories. I use many layers of foam tape to add dimension to the elements I want to highlight.

finally, "Borders Paper" helped me with the title of the layout. I loved this coloring and the seam holding the strap.

Hope I have inspired you. Thanks for stopping by today and playing with me.

See you soon.

Xx Karlla.

Tiny Tots + Bella Besties Week, Day 3 | Virginia

Happy Wednesday, today I'm sharing a few slim-line cards I created with the fun Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. Even though I don't have 'tiny tots' on my most recent camera feed, that doesn't stop me from thinking of all kinds of ideas for this adorable line. As the cardmaker in my family I always have a stash of birthday cards on hand and the cute Tiny Tots 2.0 cute animals and phrases are perfect for any birthday occasion (young and wise).

On both cards I used the numbered patterned paper for the birthday 'age' idea. I like that the numbers are multi-colored to coordinate beautifully with the ephemera and other papers so you have the option to go with any color way for your cards. 

Love the Bella Besties hearts/ombre papers! I used the green ombre paper (circle punched and dry embossed) to highlight the embellishment grouping on the Roarsome card and the yellow ombre paper was used as the backdrop for the Dino-mite card. 

Thanks for dropping by, have a wonderful day!

 

Supplies Used:

Tiny Tots 2.0 patterned papers, chipboard, ephemera, epoxy shapes

Tiny Tots 2.0 & Bella Besties Day 2 | Laura Alberts

Hello friends! Laura Alberts here again with another fun layout using the new Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. This time, I'm scrapping my darling girls playing in their wading pool. Here in the southern USA, our summers are hot and long, so we have to find creative ways to cool off!

I just had to use this gorgeous Cut-Outs from the Adorbs set for these playful photos. I backed it with the beautiful Sidekick patterned paper to get a rainbow of colors in my title. I layered this Cut-Out on the Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Gulf paper. This really makes the title pop!

I loved creating these little scenes on either side of my photos! On the left side, I layered ephemera icons like the rainbow and boat, while on the right side, I mixed a rubber duck with fish and waves! The small Playtime puffy stickers were the perfect accents to these clusters.

I really love this cluster of ephemera icon hearts with a banner across them under the title! It's such a fun cluster. On the bottom of my page, I pulled in a border sticker from the Tiny Tots 2.0 Doohickey set. 

As a finishing touch, I added Nuvo drops and gold ink spray to give the layout a splashy accent! It really helps capture the playful mood of these photos.

I hope this layout inspires you to incorporate these fantastic Cut-Out titles in your layout! Such a fun way to get a big title on the page.

Tiny Tots + Bella Besties Week, Day 1 | Ashley Neu

Hello friends! It's Ashley back to share another Bella Blvd Creative Team layout and this week will be all about the Tiny Tots collection paired with Bella Bestie papers! For my layout, I used a Bella Blvd cut file called Ornate Frame to create a place for my photo and title!

 

 

To start off this layout, I cut the cut file from some white yardstick as well as the black Hearts and Ombre Bella Besties paper to create a pretty shadow behind the white frames. I added my photo to one of the frames, making sure that the photo was perfectly inside the circle of the frame. Additionally, I used some of the black hearts Bella Besties paper to create some photo corners to add to two of the corners of my layout at a later time.

 

 

For the next step, I grabbed the patterned paper named Sidekick from the Tiny Tots collection. It is this gorgeous rainbow striped paper. I cut out each strip and used a border punch to punch out this beautiful and intricate design so that I could layer the strips on top of each other on some white cardstock. I added the frames next to the strips in a vertical fashion to help your eye move down the page.

 

 

Finally, I added my title from the puffy stickers to one of the frames along with a flower and tiny heart die cut. I created a cluster of embellishments on the open frame at the top to showcase how adorable my little girls looked sitting next to each other. Lastly, I added tone on tone embellishments on top of and tucked underneath the strips. I used ephemera pieces and some puffy hearts and flowers from the Trinkets Puffy Stickers. 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this process to creating this layout. It was a lot of fun to make! Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Supplies Used: Tiny Tots Collection- 12x12 Patterned Papers, Ephemera Icons and Puffy Stickers; Trinkets Puffy Stickers in Pickle Juice + Guacamole, Ice + Gulf and Plum; Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre paper in Black; Cut file- Ornate Frame

 

Tiny Tots 2.0 Week -Day 6 | Rachel

Hi friends! This month we are showcasing the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. Already, it's been so fun to see the different ways the Creative Team has used it. My boys aren't really "Tiny Tots" anymore. How many times have I said, "Will you stop growing please?!?!" But that's ok - this month I'll be showing you how I use the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection when you have bigger kids. The collection is filled with all sorts of bright colors, adorable animals, flowers, toys, and such! But I was especially drawn to the bath time ephemera and stickers because I remembered I had the perfect photos to go along with them. My not so little boy still likes to take a bubble bath from time to time.

To get started, I used my Cricut machine to cut out a giant heart. I actually placed the heart aside and used the rest as a template for my circles. I cut out various size circles from the Bella Besties 12" x 12" patterned paper from the Heart & Ombre collection using the heart side. I used four colors that reminded me of bubbles and bath time - Blueberry, Ice, Gulf, and White. Once I had all my circles cut out, I used foam circle tape to adhere them to the white cardstock base and add dimension. In between all the circles I added more embellishments to fill in the heart. The epoxy stickers from the collection were perfect for this, along with the Trinkets puffy stickers. 

Once I had the heart filled in, I backed my photos with white card stock and then added a second layer with the 12" x 12" patterned paper - Be Brave. I chose that one to tie in the yellow with the adorable rubber ducks. Next, I added some ephemera - the mini waves and tug boat totally make me smile. I finished the layout by using the black Florence Alphas and some journaling. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to use this collection no matter what age your children are!

Here's a list of all the supplies I used:

• Tiny Tots 2.0 12x12 patterned paper - Be Brave
