Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here and I am wrapping up cut file week over here at Bella Blvd! My youngest son, Elijah just started football and he is loving it! I had taken a photo of him after his first game and I couldn't wait to document it. I went to the Silhouette Design Store and browsed through the Bella Blvd cut files and chose the Football Games one since it was perfect for my photo! Here's what I came up with and I hope that you like it!
First, I cut the cut file out on a piece of white textured cardstock from my stash. Then, in my Silhouette Software I duplicated the cut file and released the compound path so that I could have the solid piece of the cut file and cut it using the Hearts and Ombre paper in Black. To create the backing pieces of the cut file, I offset each one and arranged them on my cutting mat so that I could have each letter cut using different colors of the new Hearts and Ombre papers. I chose the colors in McIntosh, Blueberry, Bell Pepper, Ice and Guacamole. Once everything was finished cutting, I glued everything together and moved onto the next step.
Here's another shot of the backed cut file. Before I adhered the cut file to another piece of plain white cardstock, I added a few Shimmerz Paints paint splatters around the whole page to give my background a bit more interest.
I decided to use the Let's Go On An Adventure collection for this layout. I thought it had a lot of elements that would work on this football layout since they're both outdoor related. My sons schools colors are red, white and gray and I thought the color scheme of the collection worked perfectly for it. I backed my photo using some patterned papers from the collection and embellished using some of the Ciao Chip chipboard stickers around the photo. I thought the fox from the ephemera icons was super cute, especially since it was wearing a red scarf!
I added a floral ephemera piece on the other side of the photo and decided to create another embellishment cluster on that side. I grabbed a red and white pennant and adhered that down since it matched his uniform. I added the word 'cheer' right on top using the Florence Alphas in McIntosh to create a little subtitle of 'cheer crew'. To add even more pops of color, I sprinkled the new Trinkets Puffy heart stickers in Bell Pepper around my page.
For my title, I added some of the new Aria Puffy Alphas in McIntosh, Ice and Guacamole. I finished this page off by adding in some tangled thread. I love how this layout turned out! It's so colorful and fun!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope that I've inspired you in some way and hope that you'll check out the Bella Blvd cut files available in the Silhouette Design Store. There are a few new ones that were just added! Thanks again for being here and I'll see you in my next post!
