"Summertime Fun", by Lisa Dickinson.
One of the newest collections from Bella Blvd is Fresh Market and it’s so ideal for all the summer photos you’ve been taking the past few months! The fun fruit theme in the happy color palette Bella is known for makes it so much fun to work with. I mixed it up with papers from other new collections - Family Frenzy and Make it Merry, as well as the staple supplies in Color Chaos and Just Add Color.
For this layout, I selected two photos - one horizontal and one vertical. Using two differently-oriented photos is always challenging for me, as I never know quite how to arrange them to avoid a large gap. To solve that, I cut one of the one of the 3x4 cards cut the Fresh Market Daily Details paper to serve as my title block. It fits perfectly between the photos and helps create a nice visual triangle. To soften all the straight lines and corners created by this block, I added various sized circles around the edges.
To embellish the page, I chose several circular chipboard and stickers and also used a circle punch to punch a few cute summer icons from the patterned papers. There are so many cute graphics within Bella Blvd designs, so don’t be afraid to trim them out and use them for accents now and then!
Supplies:
Fresh Market: Whole Lotta Seeds, Fruitful, Daily Details; Family Frenzy: Donut Day, A Lot Going On, Treasures & Text; Make It Merry: Treat Exchange; Color Chaos: Oreo Black Strandz, Pickle Juice Strandz; Just Add Color: Daily Details; Ciao Chip Elements: Flowers & Clouds, WhatNots, Hearts & Stars
“Donut Worry Be Happy” card, by Julia Akinina.
I love the cute donut patterns on the new Family Frenzy paper. That's why I decided to create two donut cards as a gift to the prettiest cafe in our town - Donut Bar, where they make delicious coffee and pretty good donuts! I left my cards on the inspiration board of this bar. I cut out the elements from the Donut Day sheet of paper and used it as an embellishment on my card. The main sentiment of my card I found on the sheet with daily details.
Supplies:
Family Frenzy: Donut Day, Around the Block, Daily Details, Treasures & Text, Little Bits; Enamel Dots: McIntosh, Guacamole, Bell Pepper
“Coffee+Donut=Together” card, by Julia Akinina.
This card is more layered and there are many embellishments on it. I love the pretty little card from the daily details sheet of paper. You can see the sentiment on it is "We're better Together". I used the wood textured cardstock for the background of my card and I love how the paper matches with the kraft paper. Golden stars die cuts are perfectly finished my card and added some accents on it.
Supplies:
Family Frenzy: Donut Day, A Lot Going On, Around the Block, Daily Details, Borders, Treasures & Text, Little Bits; Enamel Dots: McIntosh, Guacamole, Blueberry
These are all gorgeous! LOVING Julia's cards!!!!
