Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Sweet Summer Girl / Bella Besties Summer Themed

Hello Bella Friends! Gloria Parra here today with a new summer themed layout using the fabulous Bella Besties!!! If you are not familiar with our Bella Besties, they are the best friends and the perfect addition to all other Bella products! Oh how I adore those besties, they are so much fun to create with and help us stretch our collections with their basic patterns and vibrant colors.

Today's layout is a Summer one!!! My daughter is a huge fan of ice creams, popsicles, snow cones and cotton candies; treats are one of her favorite parts of summer! So, I decided to create a layout about this…

Using all my Bella Besties, I created a sun ray on my white cardstock background. I cut 2 different sizes of rays and created a sunburst with all the summer colors in my two Bella Besties pack. I distressed each of my rays to create some texture and dimension on my layout.

My photo is a 4” inch circle with a circle frame that measures 4.5” inches. I placed it in the middle of my sunburst.

For my title I used a “Sweet Girl” Cut Out and two big ice creams that I backed up with some more Bella Besties patterned paper. I love the Cut Outs products, you get a beautiful die cut piece without the trouble of cutting it yourself and dealing with a die cutting machine. I also used some Florence alpha stickers to add them “summer” subtitle.

I then embellished the 2 sides of my title with some ice creams found in the embellishment pack and chipboard sticker from the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. This collection was the perfect complement to my Bella Besties.

I then added a couple of stickers and embellishments on my rays in a monochromatic way, which I love to do! I finished my layout adding some puffy stickers in the same colors of my rays.
