Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Puppy Dog | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today sharing this cute dog layout using some new Bella Blvd cut files along with the new Cooper collection. If you haven't had a chance to check out Bella's newly released cut files, you can find them here.

First, I chose both the Dog Title and Paw Prints cut files for my layout. In my Silhouette Software, I duplicated the Paw Prints cut file several times and staggered them around the page, to create somewhat of a stencil. I sized the Dog Title a bit larger so that I could use it as a large title. Then I cut everything out on white textured cardstock.

Next, I added some white gesso onto a piece of thick cardstock to prep it for mixed media. Then, I took my Paw Print cut file/stencil and applied modeling paste through it. After everything was dry, I added some colorful and shimmery sprays from my stash right on top. I painted on all of the colors and added water here and there to let everything run and blend. Look at those cute puppy paw prints!

I backed my photo using the 6x6 papers from both the Cooper and Chloe collection. I wanted the Dog Title to sit on top of those layers so I added foam strips to the cut file and adhered that down. I love how the title really stands out against all of the mixed media. I also added a blue Cute Clip to my photo layers to add another element of texture. I just love that blue felt bow!

I felt like I needed more embellishments to the top left of my page so I pulled these cute banner pieces from the Ephemera Words pack to add to my title. I pulled a few paper punches from my stash and punched out some shapes to layer underneath the banner shapes and then ran it through my sewing machine. I added a few stickers from the Chloe cardstock stickers and some epoxy hearts from Cooper.

I most definitely wanted to add a few of the adorable dog ephemera pieces onto my page so I created a cluster to the left of my photo. In the photo, my dog Pippa was looking off to the left so I thought it would be fitting to add some friends for her to be looking at. I punched out some circles and layered them under them and layered a cute chipboard bone and blue enamel dots from the Heart Hugs stickers.

I decided to add a few bits on the right side of my photo so I popped up a cardstock sticker on some foam and then added a bunch of hearts in a cluster right by the cut file. Since I had so many pops of black and white, I finished off my layout by adding washi tape to the top and bottom of my page. I love how it turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I loved working with these new cut files and mixing both Cooper and Chloe together. I was totally inspired to do this by fellow Creative Team member, Erica. What a fab idea! I'll see you next time!
