Scrapbooking Layout | My Life 365 + Luna Puffy Alphabet | Conny Craig

Hey Crafty Friends,

This week, we're excited to participate in a challenge featuring January products from the vibrant ML365 collection alongside the whimsical Luna alphabets. I felt inspired to craft an extra-long title using these beautiful alphabets to make my project stand out.

To start, I prepared a fresh white background by applying mixed media techniques with Distress Ink in Broken China and Salvaged Patina. I gently sprinkled this colorful mixture all over a 10 1/2" x 6 3/4" piece of white cardstock, creating a lively and textured backdrop. Once the background dried thoroughly, I added the cheerful title, "All I want to do is go outside & build a snowman!" positioning it about 5 1/4" down the center for a balanced look.

Afterward, I enhanced the white cardstock by backing it with Bella Besties Graph & Dots paper. I chose the calming blue side featuring a graph pattern, paired with the playful pink side adorned with polka dots, ensuring that I left a neat 1/8" border all around the white cardstock. Finally, I took an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet from the delightful My Life 365 Snow Much Fun paper collection and centered all these elements beautifully, bringing the whole composition together.

I backed up my photo of the "Snow Much Fun" collection. I placed the photo about 1 inch in from the white background, right on top of the title. To the right of my title, I used the "Stay Warm" Bella-Pops. I also added snowflakes to the right. I cut two 1.5-inch circles from the "Snow Much Fun" collection featuring cute snowmen. I added enamel dots and finished the layout with the snowflakes.

Supplies used:

Paper- Double Sided January, Bella Besties Collection - Graph and Dot Pink and Blue 

Bella- Pops- Stay Warm

Luna Alphabet Puffy Sticker - Black 

My Life 365 Snow Much Fun Cardstock

 

Winter Mini Album! | My Life 365 January | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! It's Tara with Secretbees Studio! I don't know about you but here in Colorado we are in the thick of winter. It's been snowing and it is freezing outside- brrr. What better way to stay warm and cozy than to be inside crafting a cute little mini album. A ring bound mini like this one, created with the My Life 365 January papers and embellishments, is simple to create and oh so cute!

There are seven pages in this mini and each page, besides the 'Winter' tag, is a bit longer than the previous one. This makes for a super appealing look when the album is all stacked together! I used a combination of the tags, journal cards and die cuts to create the pages which also include a couple of photo flips and a pocket with tags!

One of my favorite parts of this collection are the adorable penguin icons! There are many featured in this mini along with some of the other charming embellishments too!

Even though red is not necessarily a January color, there are pops of it in the papers and die cuts of the collection so I did include some of the red patterned papers from the Bella Besties collection as well! I also added in plenty of red sentiments and even a tiny heart sticker from the Luna Alphabet!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope this project brings a bit of cheer to your wintery day!

Sweater Weather Scrapbook Layout | Brianna Estrella | My Life 365 + Luna Alphas

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm so happy to share another layout using the My Life 365 collection. This week, the Creative Team is pairing the January portion of the collection with the Luna Alphas in a creative way.  Here's what I came up with: 

To start, I chose my Luna Alpha colors first. I ended up choosing McIntosh, Blueberry and Pink. I thought those matched my photos and the January section the best. I wanted to highlight them in a fun way so I cut out three 2x10 inch rectangles inside a piece of white cardstock.  I then carefully traced them on another piece of white cardstock so that I could use those lines as a guide to fill in each rectangle with the Luna Alphas. I filled each one and then I added foam tape all over the rest of that page. Next, I lined up the other piece of white cardstock that I cut the rectangles out of and adhered it right over my base.

I wanted each of the rectangle boxes to stand out a bit so I drew in some black lines around each one. Simple and effective!

Next, I matted my photo strip using a scrap of the Snow Much Fun paper and then backed it with a few tags that I fussy cut from the January paper. I added some white twine through each one as well. 

I then added a third tag to the bottom left corner of my page and adhered the 'January' die cut from the Ephemera Words pack right next to it.

I started to embellish the rest of my page by sprinkling in a few Ephemera Words and Icons pieces as well as some Bella Besties Trinket Puffy Stickers in McIntosh, Peep and Blueberry. I love this color palette so much!

Here's one last look at this snowy page!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! If you're looking for some creative and fun ideas to use up your alpha stickers, tune in each day this week for some inspiration from the Creative Team. See you next time friends!

xo, Brianna

Thank You Card Inspiration | My Life 365 Collection

Welcome Bella friends...

 

 

It is time to send out Thank you cards... right? I created them according to the season and the NEW Bella Blvd My Life 365 collection sure did make that easy. I picked out the January set and paired it with the Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers to create these two cards. Let's get crafty...

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

I cut a strip measuring 2 x 1/2 x 4 1/4 of the Snow Much Fun paper and adhered it to the bottom of the card base using liquid glue. 

 

Cut the snowflake strip from the January paper and adhere it to the top of the first strip using liquid glue. 

 

 

Machine cut or die cut a 3 inch scalloped circle on the Clear Cuts Remember. 

 

Add this adorable Penguin from the Stay Warm Bella-Pops to the clear cuts scalloped circle using foam tape. 

 

Flip the clear cut scalloped circle over and add foam tape only where you can see the penguin and then add it to the center lower half of the card. 

 

 

Personalize this card with a fun Thank you using the Blueberry Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers, of course I had to add a heart in the mix. If you follow the line of the designer paper it should end up pretty straight. 

 

 

How about another simple card? I center my card design on the main focus and today that main focus is those cute Snowman Ephemera. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Machine cut or die cut a scalloped rectangle with an opening in the center on the Clear Cuts Remember for our scene. I use dies for most of my projects, but I know that there are many different cut files to choose from to get the same results. It does not have to be exactly like this one. 

 

I cut out the large snowflake image from the January paper using scissors. Adhere the snowflake to the top inside the rectangle using liquid glue. 

 

Pick out these adorable Snowmen Ephemera from the My Life 365 collection and adhere them to the center of the card using foam tape. Leave a little room at the bottom for our sentiment. 

 

Add UR from the Mcintosh Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers to the snowflake. 

 

Finish the sentiment from the Doohickey stickers and add it to the bottom of the snowmen. U R Simple the Best... 

 

Let's finish with a few of those Luna Alphabet Puffy Sticker hearts you know I love. I used the same color as the UR (Mcintosh).

 

There you go... two simple cards using the new My Life 365 Collection. I can't wait to use the other months in this collection. More cards coming your way. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 

Happy Bella Blvd creating....

My Life 365 | January Handmade Cards | By: Annette Allen

 

Welcome Bella friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing two cards that I created using the new My Life 365 collection. This collection is full of year around fun, with each month celebrating the season. I have two cards that I created using the January month, so let's get started. 

 

January is a winter month and the January set is full of winter fun. 

 

 

First up we have this adorable snowman who is all bundled up for this fun snow day. Cheer someone up with a fun snow day card. I know depending on where you live, you can be snowed in. This will brighten someone's day for sure. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Die cut or machine cut a scalloped rectangle on one of the Bella Besties Gingham & Stripes papers. Adhere your scalloped rectangle to your card base using liquid glue.

 

Cut a rectangle measuring 3 1/4 x 4 on the January backer paper. Add some foam tape to the back and adhere it the card at the lower half of the larger rectangle. 

 

Pick out this adorable Snowman from the January paper and trim around the oval that the snowman is in and then add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

 

 

Let's spell out BRR♥︎♥︎ from the Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers White and add them to the top part of the smaller rectangle. 

 

Finishing with the It's A Snow Day from the Ephemera Words. Trim down and add to the card using foam tape. 

Lots of dimension for this card. You might be wondering can I mail this with one stamp... you sure can. It is still under the limit for just one stamp.... cool ha. 

 

Next up we have this adorable little penguin peeking through so sweetly. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Die cut or machine cut a scalloped rectangle on the Snow Much Fun paper with the center cut out of it. We want just the frame part of it for this card. 

 

If you used a die with the center cut you can use it again on the Remember Clear Cuts and keep the center part only for this card. If you are using a cut file, cut a rectangle that fits into your rectangle frame. 

 

Add some foam tape to the frame and adhere it to your card. 

 

Add some acetate clear tape to the back of the Clear Cuts and adhere it to the center of your frame. 

 

Die cut or machine cut a tag with an opening in the center on the Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dot paper (pink). It does not have to be the same shape as mine, any tag with an opening will do. 

 

Add your cute little penguin from the My Life 365 Ciao Chip behind so she is peeking through the opening of the tag. Cut a little piece of the Snow Much Fun paper and add it to the back of the penguin. 

 

 

Cut a small strip of the January paper (blue polka dot) measuring 1 1/4 x 3/4 and another strip of the Bella Besties Gingham & Stripes (pink) measuring 1 1/4 x 1/2 and adhere them together and then add them to the top of the tag. 

 

Pick out this adorable bow from the Ciao Chip and add it to the top of the tag. 

 

Let's add one of those cute hearts from the Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers Ice to the penguin. 

 

Finishing with this sentiment from the Doohickey stickers. 

 

 

So much fun in two cards... don't you just love winter? Cards can be created from all seasons.

The Cutest Cookie | Merry Mingle Collection | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here with another layout using the super adorable Merry Mingle collection. I took this photo of my daughter last year using a snowman cookie from Starbucks. It was a cute trending circulating on social media and I knew I had to participate. I’m so glad that I did! Here’s my page:

To start, I chose to add two strips of the Let’s Decorate 12x12 patterned paper to the top and bottom of some white cardstock. I then took the Cookie Exchange paper and trimmed two pieces into a 4x6 size.  I centered those and adhered them down onto my page. Next, I matted my photo using the Ornament Exchange paper. I popped it up on foam tape and placed it right in the center of my layout. 

I wanted some embellishments to frame my photo so I built two clusters on each side using some Ciao Chip Chipboard stickers as well as some Epoxy stickers.

Next, I created my title using the Luna Alpha stickers in McIntosh, Bell Pepper and Gulf. 

Here’s the 2nd part of my title:

Next, I added in a few Puffy Icons and then some of the red smaller dots from the Epoxy stickers. I also added in some phrase pieces from the Ephemera Words pack. 


Here’s one last look at this sweet page:

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I’ve inspired you in some way. I’ll see you in my next post friends!

Santa photos with Merry Mingle l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! I am super excited to be posting my first layout using the festive new Merry Mingle collection! I knew exactly the photos I was going to scrap for this layout.... I have just been away in Australia for 3 weeks holiday to see my family and while out shopping with my sister at the local mall she suggested we get photos with Santa, and being a scrapbooker I couldn't say no! 

I cut a strip of the striped patterned paper, distressed the edges and stuck it down to a sheet of white cardstock. Then I mounted my three photos using red, green and pink patterned papers. The photos were then stuck down with foam pads, over three more paper layers, all edges were distressed of course! 

Next... the fun bit is adding the embellishments! There are plenty of cute Santa elements, including the Secret Santa Bella-pops so these definitely needed including! I also picked out some colourful trees, string of lights, holly, and word ephemera. 

Then I just needed to add my title, so used the 'santa' Cut-Out which I layered up over different coloured fussy cut letters (having the templates included in the Cut-Outs pack makes it super easy to do!) and four different coloured Luna Puffy Alphas. To finish off I added my journaling below the title, and added white paint splatters to the embellishment clusters. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! I hope you have enjoyed my first layout using the new Merry Mingle collection and feel inspired to get scrapping those festive photos!

It's All About Autumn Vibes With One Fall Day! l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! I love Autumn and all the beautiful colours associated with it, so the One Fall Day collection was just perfect to document my photo about a night out while away for the weekend recently. We were in a lovely pub called The Gunton Arms which is on a deer park in North Norfolk (in the UK), the log fire was burning and it just had such cosy vibes! 

I started with a sheet of cream cardstock and then layered 1" distressed strips of patterned papers across this to create an autumnal rainbow!  

My photo was mounted firstly on a blue patterned paper then I added a layer of the leaf paper behind that. These were added to the background using foam pads on the top edges only.

Then I picked out coordinating embellishments to create a tone on tone effect along the bottom of the photo. I just picked out any pieces that worked with my photo.... food and drink related elements, sweaters and lots of leaves!

I decided that some hand-stitching would add an additional texture so added some cross-stitches in thread to match the background strips.

To finish off I added a title using the fab, new Luna Puffy Alphabet Stickers.... I went for black but now looking at it wish I had used one of the colours instead! Oops! 

I did add some gold watercolour splatters along the embellishment cluster, as that goes so perfectly with autumn colours!

I hope you have enjoyed my latest layout using the One Fall Day collection and feel inspired to get scrapping those Autumn/Fall photos! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Multi Photo Fall Layout with Layering and Texture Using the One Fall Day Collection

Good morning Bella Blvd fans! Suzanna here today to share with you a multi photo Fall layout that incorporates coordinating Cut-Outs with the One Fall Day layout.

Here's a look at the finished layout;

Look at all that Fall (or Autumn) goodness! I had to stop myself from adding more as it's already a pretty full layout, but I could have seriously kept on going. The One Fall Day has a plethora of fabulous bits and pieces for all your projects. From pumpkins to leaves to acorns to trees to trucks.

Having chosen the Fall leaves and Happy Fall Cut-Outs as the central elements of my four photo layout, I opted to use a patterned paper background. My personal preference is for "naked" Cut-Outs or to use them to frame things, not to actually back them. The colored patterned paper really let the white pop and be central to the page. I did, however, back the leaves with coordinating colored B side patterned papers so that they melded into the page but the crispness of the white draws your eye to the photos.

Frames and word cards from the Daily Details patterned paper serve as great frames for these smaller photos, great for layers and texture. Add in some chipboard Chip Ciao pieces, the lovely layers of Bella Pops and some epoxy glossy goodness and you have a cornucopia of Tree-mendous options for texture, dimension and layering!

The black Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers add that contrast of black that off sets the black found in a few of the photos that needed balancing. While the Happy Fall Cut-Out serves as the main title, the Cary Market Luna Alphabet stickers are a subtitle identifying the location. Note the two small black hearts that also a part of the Puffy sticker options that create a subtle black visual triangle on the page.

Here's one last look at the page!

Thanks for stopping in today! See you back here next time. Be sure to check out my personal YT channel for a process video of how this layout came together! You can find my channel here; https://www.youtube.com/c/SuzannaLee

One Fall Day | Card Inspiration | By: Annette Allen

 

Happy Fall Bella friends... Annette Allen here with you today and I am starting to see the beauty of Fall, so today's cards are created using Bella Blvd One Fall Day collection. This collection is full of fall beauty that you can create all sorts of Fall projects. 

 

Today I am sharing two cards that is perfect to celebration the Fall season. 

 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Cut an A2 panel on the One Fall Day Gobble 'Til You Wobble backer paper and adhere it to the card base using liquid glue.

 

Cut a panel on the Leaf Pile paper measuring 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 and adhere it to the center of your card using liquid glue. 

 

 

Cut a strip of white paper measuring 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 and adhere it to the center of your card using foam tape. 

 

Pick out the letters FALL from the Orange Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers and stick them to the right side of your white panel. 

 

Add the DAY sentiment from the One Fall Day Ciao Chip and adhere it to the bottom of the FALL sentiment. It is ok that the Y goes off the white paper.

 

To finish the sentiment I add the Favorite sentiment from the Doohickey stickers. I trimmed off the end so it was rectangle and adhered it using foam tape. 

 

 

Finishing with decorating our sentiment with a mixture of flower from the Bella -Pops Fall is Here and lots of the Ephemera Icons. So many pretty images to choose from. It is like creating a center piece around your sentiment. 

 

Just because we can, let's add some of those Luna Puffy Stickers from the Pony Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers here and there. 

 

 

Next up we have this cute little squirrel showing a little thankfulness. 

 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

 

Cut an A2 panel on the Hello Fall backer paper and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue.

 

Cut a panel on the Hello Fall measuring 4 x 5 and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

 

 

Pick out some of the fun images to create a scene with from the Ephemera Icons. This collection all coordinating  so there are no wrong choices. Adhere your scene to the center of the card using liquid glue and foam tape. You always need a little foam then layering images so your card is not flat. 

 

 

Finishing with this beautiful THANKful sentiment from the Ephemera Words, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card.

 

But let's add a couple of those cute hearts from the Pickle Juice Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers.

Goofy's Kitchen | Luna Alphas + Spell On You | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I've got a fun layout for you today using the new Luna Alphas and the Spell On You collection. I love celebrating Halloween and we recently went Disneyland with the park fully decked out in Halloween decorations.  We were lucky enough to stay at the Disneyland Hotel and I took my daughter to eat breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen.  She was terrified of all of the characters when they got up close but she did enjoy them at a distance haha! The Luna alphas are such an adorable font and were perfect to use on this cute page: 

I decided to use the Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre paper in Gulf as my base and then adhered strips of the All Tricks No Treats, Bootiful Night and Candy Dots papers that I had trimmed down.  I matted my photo using the the B side of the Candy Dots paper and popped it up on foam tape.  I then put it down more towards the left side of my layout.

Since I chose to put my photo more on the left, I went ahead and embellished on a diagonal to go from the top left down to the bottom right. I embellished that top left section using some Ciao Chip Chipboard stickers. Look at that cute photo! Such a great memory with my girl.

For the bottom right corner, I brought in the Happy Haunting Bella Pop as well as more Ciao Chip Chipboard stickers and Puffy Stickers.

For my title, I chose to make it using the Luna Alphas in Black, Plum, Bell Pepper, Orange and Plum. I'm in love with the playfulness of this font and it really makes this page!

It was time for some small elements so I included a few of the smaller Trinket Puffy stickers from the collection.  I also included a few of the Witchy Matte Enamels as well. 

Here's one last look at this fun layout: 

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!

xo, Brianna
