Let Us Adore Him and Puffy Stickers - Tegan

Good day Bella Blvd friends! I am sure you are loving the Let Us Adore Him collection as much as I am. I couldn't wait to create another layout with it...come take a look! It was perfect for documenting a photo from Christmastime at Disney World a couple years back!

I used the heart die cut piece from the Let Us Adore Him The Reason Cut Outs as the anchoring piece for my photo. I backed it with the red and green Grace and Humble Patterned Papers. I then embellished my photo with the super cute Chipboard Stickers and Ephemera die cuts. Isn't that camel die cut just the cutest?! I also focused on using the coordinating Let Us Adore Him Puffy Stickers. I decorated the heart cut out and finished my photo embellishment cluster with them. I love the little details they add! 

Here I layered the darling Ephemera tree die cut, aqua floral chipboard sticker, and navy floral puffy sticker. I used some more Let Us Adore Him Puffy Stickers and the Blueberry Aria Puffy Stickers to create this part of the title.

I then used the Punch Aria Puffy Stickers to spell out 'Merry' again. I embellished this section with a yellow chipboard flower and Puffy Stickers. I love the whimsical feel the Aria Puffy Stickers adds, don't you?

I used the aqua tiny dot Prince of Peace Patterned Paper for the background. It makes a great soft base for the layout so the rest of the elements pop!

What is your favorite part of the Let Us Adore Him collection?! It is all so cute - I don't think I can pick a favorite part although I do love all of the Puffy Stickers ALOT! 

Thanks for joining us today! I hope you are inspired to grab some of the Let Us Adore Him and the coordinating Puffy Stickers for your next project!

Let Us Adore Him Week Day 1 | Sarah

Happy Monday! I am excited to share another layout with you using the Let Us Adore Him collection! 

For this layout, I was inspired by the idea of light. As I was using a sweet photo from Christmas Eve a couple of years ago, I wanted to bring in the elements that make Christmas Eve so special to me, and light stood out in my mind. I love the idea of stars representing light, so I wanted that to be the focus of the layout. 

I started by cutting stars using the shapes option in the Cricut software and the offset tool to add a layer. By making the stars double layered, I was able to incorporate lots of patterned papers! I focused on using patterns with a dominant color in the forefront and the more multicolored patterns as the back layer. I also distressed the edges of each star. 

Once I had a general idea of where I wanted the stars and photo, I traced around them and lifted them up so that I could create the background. I started by using distress oxides and an ink blending tool to give each star a halo in a coordinating color. I then used distress inks in their liquid form (distress reinkers) to add another layer of color. Once that dried, I used the Bella Blvd Seeing Stars cut file as a stencil to add more stars around each color cluster. 

When the background was dry, I put the stars back on the page and used adhesive foam to pop them up and add a little dimension. I placed my photo on the page with a couple of patterned paper mats with distressed edges. 

I then got busy adding some embellishments around the page. I used stars from the puffy stickers in this collection and a few stars from the Trinkets puffy stickers in coordinating colors. I also added some phrase stickers from the Doohickey sheet and a couple of phrases from the ephemera found in the collection.

I used the Florence Alphas in coordinating colors to build my title above and below the stars. I love how these letters look on the page! I added a few enamel dots and my journaling, and I called it done! 

I hope this layout inspires you to create something special to capture your Christmas memories! 

 

Thanksgiving Week Day 6 | Tarrah

Hi creative friends and Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Tarrah back with you to share a new scrapbook layout for Thanksgiving Week! I was very lucky to recently go away on a scrapbooking retreat with some girlfriends, we had a blast of course! This photo was taken out at one of our lunches. I printed the photo in black and white and I love how it pops against the gorgeous bright colours in the Home Sweet Home collection I have used for this layout!

I firstly chose the pink ombre paper for my background paper and began building my layout. I placed 2 of the border stickers from the Doohickey Stickers at the very top of my layout. I then cut out a few papers fairly small from the Home Sweet Home collection and adhered them down, bending the edges of them and tearing the edges to add some texture. I decided to cut out the Thankful title cut file title using my Silhouette Cameo machine. I cut out the 'Thank' part of the title in one of the darker blue papers and the 'Ful' part of the title from one of the pink papers. I used foam tape to pop these up from the page. 

To make up the rest of the title, I took the Florence alphabet stickers in Bell Pepper and spelt out 'For'. I then took the Friends word from the chipboard icon stickers and placed it down under the Thankful and For titles. I love the mix of fonts and colours in my title. I added lots of the Doohickey Stickers and phrases from the Ephemera Icons pack from the Home Sweet Home collection around my page to help tell the story. I also took some die cut hearts from the Ephemera Icons pack placing these around my photo, I just love all those colours!!

I love to layer things on top of my cut files so I placed a die-cut and a sticker on top of the 'Thank' part of the cut file. On the right of my photo I popped up the pennant that says Friends Are Our Chosen Family with foam tape. I love this saying and it goes perfectly with the theme of my layout! Lastly I placed some of the small hearts from the Puffy Trinket Shapes in a few different colours around my page, I stamped the date stamp and sprinkled some white mist on my layout too.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Bella Blvd blog today! I hope you all have an wonderful blessed Thanksgiving with your family.

Happy creating!

Happy Thanksgiving | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are having an amazing day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Home Sweet Home collection and three Bella Cut Files.

I started my layout by cutting the cut files. For the Happy Thanksgiving and the Hearty Background cut files, I used white cardstock, and for the On The Vine cut file, I used the Graphic & Dot in Pickle Juice. Once I had cut all my cut files, I want through the papers of the collection and picked the Welcome Home, All My Love, Daily Details, Mosaic Tile and Home Sweet Home, and backed the Happy Thanksgiving cut file with them.

To paint my background, I used Distress Oxide in colors that match with the papers. I also used the Hearty Background as a stencil.

To build my layout, I glued the Happy Thanksgiving cut file and my photos. Then, I fussy cut some flowers from the Welcome Home paper and made three clusters with them and the On The Vine cut file. To finish my layout, I added Ephemera, Doohickey and Trinkets Puffy Stickers.

I love how this layout tuned out. Hope you all like it and get inspired to create beautiful things. You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Thanksgiving Week Day 3 | Melissa Mann

Good morning!

This is Melissa here with you today on the blog and I have a new Thanksgiving themed layout. Those of us here in the United States are celebrating Thanksgiving this week and I dug back in the photo archives and found some photos from Thanksgiving of 2019 to scrap and share with you all here :-)

I knew two things about this layout: I wanted to use a big title and I wanted to use several photos. I downloaded and cut out a digital cut file from the Bella Blvd Silhouette store that said "TURKEY DAY" and cut this out using Kraft card stock. 

I also knew that I wanted to use some earthy, darker toned papers for this project. I used a piece of rust colored card stock and a piece of brown Bella Besties pattern paper in Pony. I backed my card stock with the pattern paper and used a lighter piece of pattern paper from the Home Sweet Home paper collection to layer down the length of my layout. I found four photos I wanted to use and converted them to black and white. I placed these in a grid and backed it with the yellow pattern paper from Home Sweet Home.

I created a couple of embellishment clusters on either side of my grid using stickers, puffy stickers, chipboard, and die-cuts. Once I had all of this situated, I figured out where to place my title but I needed something to anchor my title down. I decided to take a strip of the same yellow pattern paper from Home Sweet Home and stitch the title to it with my sewing machine. I notched one end of the strip of paper and adhered it down at the top of my layout. I typed and placed my journaling underneath it. 

SUPPLIES USED:

1. Bella Besties Graph & Dot - Pony
2. Home Sweet Home - Daily Details, Mosaic Tile, & Houseplants
3. Home Sweet Home Doohickey Stickers
4. You Are My Sunshine Ephemera 
5. Home Sweet Home Ciao Chip
6. Trinkets Puffy Stickers - Bell Pepper

Thanksgiving Week | Sarah

Happy Tuesday, Bella friends! I can't believe we are already approaching the end of November. How is it that December is just around the corner?! Are you all ready for Thanksgiving?! I know I am ready to get my feast on, hehe.

Anyway, It's me Sarah K. (@redoaklines) back on the blog, and I'm continuing Thanksgiving projects week!

Here's how I felt inspired:

 

I worked with lots of pieces from the To The Moon Collection for this layout. I know, I know - it's not conventionally made for Thanksgiving projects, but no fret! I used the fun "Happy Turkey Day" cut file from the Silhouette design store, and I used photos from a Turkey Day a few years back.

 

I started my layout by cutting out banner shapes from coordinating patterned papers. Then I layered some older Thanksgiving photos. I also stapled some arrows and tabs from the ephemera icons pack to add more dimension to my project.

I created embellishment clusters of stars around my photos. These clusters consist of pieces from the ephemera icons pack and puffy stickers.

Lastly, I want to talk about the Florence alphabet stickers - which I love and use ALL THE TIME! To make my title pop, I gave it some color by adding some Florence alphabet stickers to document the month and year of these photos. The hearts in the "O" and the "0" are also from another Florence alphabet stickers sheet. To be honest, I love that these alphas come in an array of colors, all of which coordinate with any of the Bella collections.

That's all I have for now. I hope that I've inspired you to create something beautiful. Or maybe you're inspired to create something you're THANKFUL for! If you do end up making something using any of the Bella collections, we'd love to see it! Please feel free to share with us on Bella Blvd's socials by tagging us.

As always, thanks for letting me share my work with you today, and thanks for following along.

Until next time,

Sarah.

THANKGIVING week | Nathalie

Hello there!

Nathalie with you today to kick off Thanksgiving week here, in the Bella Blvd Blog.   I have to say that my favorite project of the year is my Gratitude Journal, it totally has made me focus on all the small blessings. So, i pulled one of my entries from the journal to crate this page using a few goodies from Bella Blvd.

 

I started this page with the photo  and  a few Aria Puffy stickers.  I just put the picture on the layout (Bella Besties), and used a ruler to add my large title using a rainbow of colors.

 

I wanted the title to be one of  the highlights of the page, so I pulled Aria puffy stickers, and glued them on the page in rainbow-colors order.   I made sure that   there was plenty of space available for the photo.

 

 

I chose the YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE collection to complete the page.  I created two tags from the papers and layered them behind the photo.  

 

 

In order to frame the title, I used a few papers from the YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE collection to create the paper strips and  glued them at an angle at the corners of the page.   I made sure that the paper strips meet at specific spots on the layout, so that I can add interest to the page.

 

 

To finish the page, I changed the last word to an acrylic piece.  This brings texture to the page, and breaks the monotony of the puffy stickers.   I added a few butterflies to add movement to the page, and make the viewer eye move through the page.

 

 

I love how this turned out, and I hope this inspires you to create a project that documents your gratitude using Bella Blvd. products

 

XO

Let Us Adore Him Sketch Week Day 6 | Karlla Dauer

Hello Bella Friend.

I'm so excited to share this layout with you.

I love to work with sketch and I think it's amazing how it can be interpreted in so many ways.

For this sketch, I wanted to bring all the joy and color of the "Let Us Adore Him" collection.

I used white paper as a base and in the back I added a beautiful "Light of the World" paper.

I loved that the white cardstock managed to highlight both the main part of the project as the patterned paper in the background.

Still on the white cardstock, I outlined the entire project with a delicate stitching, like the four rectangles with different prints.

I played with the various overlapping elements of the collection. I like to abuse the foam tape.

Can highlight and create these beautiful dimensions in layouts.

I hope you liked my version, and I look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Have a wonderful day!

Xx Karlla.

Let Us Adore Him and Sketch Week Day 5 | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper back with you today sharing a new layout for Let Us Adore Him Week.  We are also working with the gorgeous November Sketch that I think you will all love as much as I do.  Here's my layout: 

 

 

Here's the sketch for November: 

 

 

To start, I took these 12x12 patterned papers from the collection and trimmed them all down to 2x8.  I then took my tab punch and punched out a few tabs similar to what the sketch called for.  I kept to the sketch for the most part and didn't deviate too much away from it.  I loved the design and thought it was so fun to work with.  I distressed the edges of all of my paper pieces, popped them up on foam tape and adhered them to a piece of textured white cardstock.  

 

 

Next, I matted my photo with the Noel 12x12 patterned paper to bring in more of the pretty colors from the collection.  I got out both ephemera packs and pulled a tag, florals, trees and holly berries.  I created a few clusters around my page and popped things up on foam tape and added a few bits of tangled thread.  

 

 

Here's another embellishment cluster: 

 

 

For my title, I used the Merry acrylic word and added onto it using the Florence Alphas in White.  I also pulled in the red scallop border sticker from the cardstock sticker sheet and a chipboard tree from the Ciao Chip sticker sheet as well.  

 

 

As a finishing touch, I added in a few floral pieces from the Joy Puffy Stickers to add a few more pops of color to each cluster. 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that I've inspired you in some way today.  Do you enjoy working with sketches?  I do!  It's a great jumping off point for any project and it really takes a lot of the work out for you.  If you're short on time or just need a little push in the right direction, sketches really come in handy!  ;) Have a great day and I'll see you in my next post.  Don't forget to check out my process video down below.
