Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Cards On Thursdays

We have a TON of cards to share with you today. A few of our Card Designers have been busy at work, creating a wide variety of free-for-all cards. Let's check them out!

"I Am Thankful For You" card, by Gretchen McElveen.

I used the 'I am thankful for...' journaling block from the Thankful Cute Cuts sheet to create the background of this card. I added the "You" with the alphabets on the Alpha + Bits Stickers to complete the sentiment. Then I strategically covered up the numbered list on the left side with flowers. It makes for a great friendly card!

Supplies:
Thankful: Burlap, Bountiful, Cute Cuts, Our Spot, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Button Market: Neutrals Mix

"Congrats On Your New Place" card, by Gretchen McElveen.

The Thankful line is not just for Thanksgiving! It is also very homey and family friendly! :) I used it to make this card for some friends who just bought their first home. The flags on this card are not even the new ones designed to go with the Thankful line. They are actually the "Fall" and "Home Sweet Home" flags from the first flags release. And they coordinate so well! Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Thankful: Burlap, Cute Cuts, Our Spot, Borders, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Flags: Home Sweet Home, Fall

"Thanksgiving” card, by Kathy Martin.

Not only are banners trendy and fun to add to projects, they’re a fabulous way to use up a lot of little scraps of paper! It was a lot of fun to create this layered banner and easy because the Alpha+Bits sticker sheets provide a lot of little phrases that work perfectly for this kind of project.

Supplies:
Thankful: Perfect Day, Homey, Burlap, Bountiful, Borders, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Button Market: Checkers, Feminine Mix; Miniatures Stickers: Family; High Five Alpha Stickers: Pink-Red

“Give Thanks” card, by Alice Carman.

I am loving the colors in this collection, with its clean and crisp patterns. I feel like home when I look at collection and it makes me happy.

Supplies:
Thankful: Homey, Our Spot, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Button Market: Merlot Flowers; High Five Alpha Stickers: Blue

“Happy Happy Birthday” card, by Alice Carman.

There’s so much you can do with this collection. It’s colors are so versatile with the other collections in the Bella Blvd family of products that this card was put together in a jiffy. It’s a really simple design and with the help of the Birthday Boy line, it made the card pop.

Supplies:
Birthday Boy: Borders, Cute Cuts; Flags: Birthday Boy; Button Market: Orange Star

“Happy Birthday” card, by Alice Carman.

I love cute outs because it’s so easy to use. It’s great to layer them on top of another to create something new. Also a great way to add texture and height for an eye catching fun card!

Supplies:
Birthday Girl: Celebrate, Dancing Queen, Party Dress, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Cute Cuts; Thankful: Alpha+Bits Stickers; Designer Tape: Pickle Juice Chevron

"Thanks so much" card, by Deanna Misner.

This card uses both the Sonoma chipboard letters and the High Five alphas to create a 2-part sentiment. I chose to split it and use different fonts to make the eye travel across the design and to give it more visual interest. And I can never have enough "Thank you" cards. I thought it'd be a little different to use the texting abbreviation for "thanks" instead of trying to squeeze the whole word in to the small space.

Supplies:
Sunshine & Happiness: Popsicle Kisses, Happy Clouds; High Five Alpha Stickers: Yellow; Simply Simona Chipboard Alphas: Orange; Ciao Chip Elements: Borders; Crochet Flowers: Daisies, Peonies; Flags: Thank You, Floral

"UR So Very Sweet" card, by Deanna Misner.

I had a fun time layering all sorts of chipboard and stickers while making this card. I chose to mix and match fonts, which the High Five alphabets are perfect for. I also layer the chipboard hearts with the chipboard letters to create depth to the card. As an added little touch, I trimmed some Designer Tape and added it to the top corner.

Supplies:
Sunshine & Happiness: Juicy Good Time; Sonoma Chipboard Alphas: Oyster; High Five Alpha Stickers: Pink-Red; Ciao Chip Elements: Stars & Hearts; Designer Tape: Pink Stripe

"Congrats, Baby" card, by Deanna Misner.

I thought this would be a fun card to give, whether to an expecting mom or someone who just deserved a "Congrats" card. My inspiration came from watching Friends re-runs one late night and hearing Joey saying "It's London, BABY" so I thought why not use "baby" emphasized as a card sentiment as in "Congrats, BABY!" So there you have it, a TV show inspired sentiment! Heee!
