Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Pinterest Inspired

It's always been fun to browse thru Pinterest, looking at the endless ideas and inspirational images that are out there. Our designers always enjoy taking whatever image we provide them, and using it in whatever way inspires them the most as they work on their projects. It's amazing to see how many different ideas and designs can be inspired by just one image.

”Hello” card, by Carina Lindholm.

I just love polka dots so I was so inspired when I saw this picture. On this card I punched out circles in different sizes, patterns and colors and adhered them to my white card base. And with a black pen I draw a frame on the card base and some faux stitching around the circles. I also used a black sticker arrow from Bella’s new cardstock stickers and black letter sticker from the trick or treat collection.

Supplies:
Play Date: Today Is Beautiful, Park Play, Daily Details; Trick or Treat: Alpha+Bits; Daily Chevies: Arrows Black & White; Crochet Hearts: Scallop; Button Market: Wood Mix

”Grattis” card, by Carina Lindholm.

On this card I cut out a bunch of different colored circles from the Family chaos paper and adhered them on the camera die cut. I covered the card base in grey camera paper before adhering the die cut to the card using pop dots. I also decorated my card with a pink feather and a green crochet heart.

Supplies:
Snapshot: Borders, Family Chaos, Paper Pieces; High Five Alpha Stickers: Pink-Red; Crochet Heart: Pickle Juice; Feathers: Punch

“Live Laugh & Let Be”, by Gina Lideros.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut feathers out of vellum paper and embellished them with enamel dots and gold confetti pieces before layering them with Bella Blvd Saltwater and Oreo-Black feathers. I love the look combined with the Snapshots collection. It is so playful and fun just like the teen girls in my photo.

Supplies:
Snapshots: Hurry Up!, Borders, Daily Details, Captions; Trick Or Treat: Leaf Storm, Alpha+Bits, Captions; Feathers: Oreo-Black, Saltwater; Crochet Hearts: Saltwater

"My Friend", by Yohko Takiguchi.
