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.

"Love", by Kat Benjamin.

So, my inspiration from this image is pretty obvious! I was inspired to make a GIANT “Love” title. Since the layout is all about love, I figured I should use the love-ly Valentina collection. I also decided to do something new for me and hand-cut the letter outlines. They’re not perfect and I kind of like that!

Supplies:
Valentina: Love, Cross My Heart, See You Soon, Treasures & Text, Borders, Daily Details; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Frosting; Enamel Dots: Punch; Bella Bows: McIntosh

"You Are Love", by Jennie McGarvey.

You never know how a project is going to go, but with an inspiration piece like this -- I knew I was going to have a fun page. I loved the rectangle sign and the scalloped edges. I knew I wanted to recreate the other all design of the sign on my page, so that is where my basic design came from. Then, after having that all nailed down, I simply embellished and had a page that I was excited to add to my album.

Supplies:
Valentina: Cross My Heart, Borders, Daily Details, Treasures & Text; Crochet Hearts: Punch; Enamel Dots: Milk White; Enamel DooDads: McIntosh

“Love” card, by Corri Garza.

This card was inspired by the large Love on the inspiration photo. I found this screen card in the Silhouette Store and couldn't wait to cut it out. I cut the letters from red card stock and used foam dots to pop them up off the card face. I added some heart stickers and black Doo Dads. Not only is this a cute card it also makes a great display!

Supplies:
Valentina: Cross My Heart, Little Bits; IF Whatever is Lovely: Treasures & Text; Enamel DooDads: Oreo Black

“We Flamin-go Together” card, by Corri Garza.

As soon as I saw the Valentina collection, I fell in love with these adorable flamingos. The Love pattern paper makes a perfect background. I trimmed a piece of the ombre side of the See You Soon paper to fit behind the flamingos. I love the way the colors in the paper match their wings. I finished off my cute card with a bow and a sticker from the Treasures & Text sheet.
