Teen Vibe Carson Collection | Burger Time | Annette Allen

 

Hello Bella friends... Annette Allen here you today and I am all about the boys today with the new Teen Vibe Carson collection. I am having a blast creating with this collection.  I can think of all kinds of fun cards to create for the boys. It is always hard creating for the boys but with this collection it sure does make it easy. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Cut an A2 panel on the Let's Talk paper and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue.

 

Cut out the Friend sentiment from the Daily Details paper and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card. 

 

 

Pick out the FRIENDS sentiment from the Doohickey stickers and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the bottom of the FRIEND sentiment, leaving it hanging off just a bit. 

 

Pick out one of the small hearts from the new Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers (Bell Pepper) and add it to the I on the Friends sentiment. 

 

Pick out this fun HAT from the Ephemera Icons and add some foam tape to the back and add to the left corner of the Friend sentiment. 

 

Finishing with a strip measuring 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 of the Lets Talk Baker paper and a strip of the Daily Details Backer paper measuring 1 1/4 x 1 1/2. Adhere the two together and tuck it int he middle and under the Friend sentiment and adhere it using liquid glue. 

 

Nothing like a good friend card and I think this gets the point across... don't you think?

 

 

Next up it is Burger Time... ok this could be a girl card too. 

I am all about a good hamburger and french fries, so you can imagine my excitement when I seen this cute Bella-pops. I just knew it was for sure going to be BURGER TIME. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Cut an A2 panel on the Daily Details Backer paper and adhere it to the top of your card base using liquid glue or a tape runner.

 

Cut an 4 x 5 1/4 of the cool Screen Time paper and adhere it to the center of your card using liquid glue or a tape runner. 

 

 

Add to the center of your art the very fun Hungry Bella-Pops. They are already sticky so you just peel and stick. 

 

Now time for this fun sentiment BURGER TIME. Pick your letters from the new Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers Orange and Blueberry. Add them to your card. (They are already sticky so just peel and stick.)

 

Finishing with a few of those new Be Brave Epoxy dots.

Just Because: Mother's Day Cards

Welcome Bella friends.. Annette Allen here with you today and I am getting crafty with the Just Because collection with these two Mother's Day themed cards.

I know all our moms like flowers for Mother's day so this first card is filled with flowers that will last forever. I really love them sentiment because this is actually one of the things that my mom and I say to each other and then hang up the phone before the others says me more... 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on the Just Because Sing Me A Song backer Purple panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4 and die cut or cut a 3 inch oval in the center. Now add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your white card base. 

Choose some of the pretty Just Because Ephemera Icons and one of the Doohickey sentiments to go with the bella-pops Flower Garden and create a scene that your mom will love. I used foam tape on the Ephemera Icons for little dimension and then added the Flower Garen bella-pop in the center. 

Finishing with this adorable little bee and the sentiment. Hope my mom likes it...

Next up we have more of a simple card that really sends the message of Happy Mother's Day!

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on the Just Because Hello paper and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue. 

Pick out the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Just Because Ephemera Words and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of your card. 

Add one of the bella-pops Full Bloom flowers to the O on the Mother sentiment.

Just Because| Mother's Day Cards| Stephanie Buice

Hello everyone! Stephanie B here today sharing my latest project for Bella Blvd!

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I wanted to create a few cards to inspire you to make a few of your own. With all of the cute ephemera in the Just Because collection, you're sure to find the perfect pieces for just about any occasion.

Here are the two I created to share with you today...

I wanted to make sure my cards were colorful and happy, so I stuck to the beautiful color palette Just Because has to offer.For my first card I added a mix of papers to my card base, then went ahead and embellished with that cute little hedgie, how adorable is she with her little flower crown!?
For my final card I just had to use the "happy Mother's Day" ephemera words piece, talk about perfect! I added my papers to the card base, then finished it off with the large flower cluster piece topped with my sentiment. Easy peasy, right!?

I hope you'll give them a try for the special mommas in your life.

Thanks for stopping by, and from me to you, happy Mother's Day Friends!

Mother's Day Cards...

Welcome Bella friends... Annette Allen here with you today and I am so excited to be sharing these fun Mother's Days cards with you all. Mother's day is right around the corner and well the Just Because collection is perfect to create your mom a special card.

I know you all see it... on this first card my focus is LOVE, because that is what we think of when we think of our Mother. I used the Bella Blvd Love & Promise Acrylic Words combined with the new Just Because You Are Loved Puffy Stickers to create my special message. 

I used a basic scalloped rectangle to die cut the Blooming Beauties designer paper and adhered it to my A2 card base using foam tape. I then cut a square measuring 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 on the large pink polka dot designer paper. I added foam tape to the back and adhered it to the center of my scalloped rectangle. 

Cut a piece of white cardstock measuring 1 x 3 1/4 and adhere it to the center of the pink polka dot using foam tape. 

Create the sentiment using Love & Promise Acrylic Words (LOVE) only with the Just Because Puffy Stickers and replace the O with one of the Bella-pops Full Bloom flowers. 

Lots of dimension on this card.

Sending love with Bella-pops and Ephemera Words...

Cut the Yellow Striped designer paper from the Dancin' Daises measuring A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and die cut a 2 1/2 inch circle in the center. 

Cut a 3 inch square of the Clear Cuts To You From Me and adhere it to the back of the circle using foam tape. The foam tape with add a little space between the layers. 

Add the Bella-pops Just Be You cardstock sticker to the lower half of the circle. On the top part of the pop add a little foam tape before adding it to the circle. 

Finishing with this special message to your mom from the Just Because Ephemera Words. Add the sentiment with foam tape. 

Thank you for stopping by today for a little Mother's Day inspiration using the new Just Because collection.

Spring Themed Cards With The Just Because Collection

Welcome Bella friends.. Annette Allen here with you today for my very first post as a Creative Team Member. I am so excited to be able to share with you all different cards that you can create with the beautiful new Just Because collection. Today we are focusing on Spring. 

BEEcause there are so many cute bee's, I just had to create with them for my first projects. This cards focus is the bees and how all the designs coordinating perfectly with each other. 

I used two mod rectangles to die cut the Just Because Cute Messengers. I used two sizes and both sides of the Cute Messengers patterns. You can use just a standard square die cut to layer these designs. We just want to be able to see both of these adorable patterns on this card. When layering the patterns I used foam tape on the top design to give my card a little dimension. 

I die cut a standard circle and trimmed off the right side so it lines up with my square. I added a little yellow ink in the circle and adhere it to my card using from tape. I then picked some of those cute new Just Because Ephemera Icons to create a scene that is for sure to bring a smile. I added some of them using foam tape and the others liquid glue. As you can tell I love dimension on my cards. 

To finish I added this lovely sentiment from the Just Because Ephemera Words... because You Are Bee-utiful!

Next up we have this rainbow/polka dot filled card that just has me dreaming of Spring. 

For this cards background we used the Just Because A Great Day, that I cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and adhere to the lower half of my card base A2 size. I then cut the pink polka dot to 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 and adhere to the top part of my card base. I then cut a strip 1/2 inch of the Dancin Daisies yellow  strips and adhere it to the center of where the two patterns meet in the middle. I also added 1/4 strips of the the small pink polka dots from the Cute Messengers and adhere it to the center of the yellow strip. 

Die cut a small 2 1/2 inch circle on the yellow strips background and adhere it to the center of the card using foam tape. Find that cute rainbow in the Ephemera Icons and adhere to the center of the circle using foam tape. 

Now let's add those cute Bella-pops we all love. These are from the Just Because Fluttery Bella-pops. They are already a sticker so all you have to do is peel and stick. Just look at those wings on the bee... LOVE!

 

Finishing off with one of the many sentiments you can find in the Just Because Ephemera Words. Life is Beautiful!

Thank you all for stopping by today.... May the beauty of Spring find you. 

Lake Life & Besties Cards | Stephanie Buice

Hi everyone! Steph B here today, sharing some cards I created for this week's assignment. This time around we were asked to create projects using Bella Besties, Lake Life, Letter Scrambles and to focus on the color green, I hope you like what I came up with!

For my first card I used paper strips to create the background, and then built on top of that. I mixed a few ephemera pieces, and the arrow Doohickey sticker, then finished it off with some Blueberry Letter Scrambles.

My second card was one that I think could make a great and easy go-to template for any occasion. I simply trimmed three paper strips of differing widths into tags, added my greeting and a little ephemera piece to finish it off. The possibilities with this one are endless!

My third and final card was one of my favorites of the three. I love how easily this one came together with a few fussy cut flowers and butterflies. I used the "Friends" ephemera piece and Letter Scrambles stickers for the sentiment, and it came together rather quickly once I had a based figured out.

I hope you like my cards and decided to give some a try for yourself!

Have a great week,

Stephanie B

Bella Besties | Cards

Hey friends! Erica here with you today to share some colorful cards using Bella Besties and the EIEIO collection!

For my first card I used some left over paper strips from my last Bella project you can see it here! I have so many strips leftover and thought it would be fun to use some on a card! I glued down the strips at a diagonal on a white trimmed down card base. Next I matted it onto some pattern paper from the Bella Blvd EIEIO collection. I added some Bella Besties Trinket Puffy Stickers and two white Heart Hug to put my sentiment on with Florence Alpha Stickers.

My next card use a rainbow die cut that I backed with some papers from the Bella Besties. I popped it up with foam adhesive and adhered down to some matted pattern papers from the EIEIO collection. I used one of the EIEIO Words Ephemera pieces for my title and embellished with some floral die cuts and puffy stickers.

The last card I created is clean and simple. I used a floral die cut from The Stamp market and added colorful petals using Bella Besties Graph & Dot paper. I used the fun and colorful Florence Alpha Stickers for my title and then matted the trimmed card base onto some pattern papers from the EIEIO collection.

Super simple, super colorful and a whole lot of fun! I love how they all turned out and I know whoever receives them will love them just as much as I do! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you get some time to do something creative!

Cards with Our Love Song/Kim

Hi Bella friends, it's Kim and I'm back to share some fun Valentine's Day cards made with the awesome Our Love Song collection. The challenge this week was to add the new Letter Scramble Stickers with a focus on the Clear Cuts. 

 

For the first card, I cut my background paper and popped it up with foam tape and then, I placed another layer on top. Next, I cut some of the clear cuts and made a cupcake.

I love all of the hearts on the acetate and decided to not fill it with anything and let the hearts be the focus. I love the washi with this collection and added a bit at the bottom and placed part of my sentiment on it.

For my second card, I started by creating four layers and separating most of them with foam tape. I used dies from my stash to create a star and a rectangle.

Again, I used  the Letter Scramble alphas for my sentiment, a few ephemera and finished with the puffy stickers.

For my final card today, I used a large piece of the Clear Cuts and covered my card front with it. I pulled some ric rac from my stash to add to the top and bottom. I love adding texture on all my projects. I cut some hearts and used the Letter Scramble with the ephemera words for my sentiment and then, I added hearts and the cutest little cassette tapes and my card was done.

I feel like these cards have a total candy vibe, with a love theme and I added lots of hearts to thrm. This collection is loaded with hearts and I love it, so I had plenty to choose from. I added a lot of the puffy stickers and some epoxy stickers too. They are absolutely some of my favorite embellishments. I love the dimension they add to my projects. 

Thanks for joining me and have a wonderful day! Kim

Our Love Song Cards with Maree

Hi Bella Friends,

I'm here to share some fun cards today using the Our Love Song Collection and a few Letter Scrambles mixed in. These cards would be perfect for Valentine's Day or just to show someone how much you love them. I kept the base of the cards similar to make a little set. I used the pink paper called 'I love you' for the base of each card. I also used the gorgeous Letter Scrambles in the color 'Punch' to match the bright pink paper.

 

The first card I made, I layered up some gorgeous papers from the collection pack. I used simple rectangle nested dies for a clean and simple look. I added the cassette tape ephemera and some of the smallest Letter Scrambles to add the word always. I finished it off with some sweet epoxy stickers.

For the next card I knew I wanted to use the pink cassette from the Ciao Chip and based my card around that. I added the word love from the 'Punch' Letter Scrambles. Again a couple of sweet pink epoxy hearts finished off the card.

For my final card I used the black dot paper called 'Our Mix'. I used the Letter Scrambles to create the 'I heart you' sentiment. I selected the love, love, love banner from the words ephemera, then I used the pink Washi tape mounted on white card stock to create the final detail.

I am certainly no expert card maker so I liked the simple process of using the rectangle nesting dies and the collection pack papers to keep a cohesive look. I am really happy with how these cards turned out. Have an amazing day!

Cards I Merry Little Christmas & Letter Scramble I Heather Cerulo

Hi there! Heather here today to share 3 wintery cards using Merry Little Christmas along with the Letter Scramble alphas. There are so many great winter icons in this collection that it is easy to transition from Christmas to winter crafting!

 

 

My 3 cards focus on using the adorable pieces in the ephemera packs included in this collection. First up, is a fun design with the die cut trees in the background of the card, with a sentiment strip layered overtop. Adding the word Brr with the Macintosh Letter Scramble alphas was the perfect finishing touch. 

 

 

For my second card, I started with the Ice Letter Scramble alphas to create the phrase Winter Wishes as the focal point on my card. I then tucked some ephemera on the diagonal and added some snowflakes to create a visual triangle.

 

 

Last, and possibly my most favorite is the snowflake blizzard I created with papers from the Merry Little Christmas collection and a metal die. I layered the snowflakes behind the ephemera title, tucked a cute word above with the Letter Scramble alphas and finished it off with lots of sequins!

 

 

I hope you are inspired to create! I had a lot of fun making these cards, and can't wait to get them in the mail to some special people!
