Hey friends! Brianna Lepper back with you today sharing a super festive July 4th layout using the Fireworks & Freedom collection! I also paired it with the Time For Fireworks Bella Blvd cut file. Did you know that Bella is always releasing new cut files? Make sure to visit the Bella Blvd section here to view all of them! Let's get to my layout, I had soooo much fun creating this page. I love this collection and who doesn't love documenting such a great holiday!
To start, I cut the cut file out on white textured cardstock. While I was still in my Silhouette software, I went ahead and offset the backing pieces to the letters and cut them out using the Love The USA, Daily Details and Borders 12x12 patterned papers. This made backing the cut file so much easier for me in the end.
I wanted to create some stripes for my background and for the cut file to sit on, so I cut 2" strips out of the Land That I Love, Patriotic, Truck Parade and Love The USA 12x12 patterned papers, roughed up the edges and adhered them down. I then popped the entire cut file up on foam tape and adhered it right to the middle of my page.
The cut file had the perfect place for me to set my photo into and I ended up tucking it right in that empty space! But first, I matted it using some scraps and then added my journaling to one of the ephemera word bubble pieces and tucked it right under my photo layers. Next, I added a Ciao Chip sticker and one of the Epoxy Icons stickers to the corner of my photo.
There is this super cute American Flag heart on the Daily Details cut apart sheet, so I fussy cut it out and used it as an embellishment. I popped it up on some foam tape, added some red and white tangled thread and found the cutest red truck ephemera piece to adhere down next to it.
I felt like the bottom right of the page needed a little something, so I adhered one of the firework ephemera pieces down and layered a chipboard star right on top. To add a circular element, I pulled in one of the epoxy stickers and finished that cluster off with some blue tangled thread. Super simple!
To finish off my layout, I added one more firework ephemera piece to the top left of the cut file and then got out my Trinkets Puffy Stickers in McIntosh and scattered some of the stars around the clusters.
This layout is super patriotic and so fun and totally matches my boys shirts in the photo. I had a lot of fun creating it and hope that you like it! Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!
