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.

“Turning Two”, by Jodi Wilton.

I was super excited when I saw the Pinterest inspired challenge for this assignment! I started off by LOVING the colors! I chose some lighter, neutral patterns and then mixed it up with some bolder colors. I also really liked the hearts and the "country summer" feeling and decided to really play the hearts up on my layout. I cut 2 X 2 squares out and then topped them with punched out hearts and some crocheted hearts too!

“Friends”, by Kay Rogers.

This photo was taken at my daughter's wedding shower last weekend with her friend from Middle School. I love the bold colors of Scattered Sprinkles. I was inspired by the hearts, but wanted a bolder, black background rather than the burlap.

Supplies:
Scattered Sprinkles: Oreo Sprinkles, Bell Pepper Sprinkles, Treasures & Text, Just Write Journaling; Crochet Hearts: Saltwater, McIntosh, Bell Pepper; Designer Tape: Ice Blue Stripe

“Love Like Crazy” card, by Ashley Marcu.

This Pinterest picture is amazing! I could not wait to combine Bella Blvd's new collections with such great inspiration! I too the heart die cut idea for my first card and layered some stripes behind the super cute Sprinkles paper. The calendar and black backed sentiment provided perfect neutrals to make the colorful paper pop.

Supplies:
Summer Squeeze: Daily Details, Treasures & Texts; Scattered Sprinkles: Bell Pepper Sprinkles, Peep Sprinkles, Treasures & Texts; Designer Tape: Ice Stripe Tape

“Celebrate” card, by Ashley Marcu.

This card takes a completely different approach. Do you see the wood floor in the picture? I decided to create my own out of Sprinkles paper! I love this background! I tied all the color together with my striped banner and created a fun sentiment with the Treasures & Text letters. All the letters are from Scattered Sprinkles except the pink one which I pulled from the Molly collection. I love how this card turned out!
