Beautiful Layout | Yarelys

Hey Bella friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you my new layout. To make this layout I used the collection My Candy Girl, as well as two cut files.

I started my layout by cutting my cut files. I cut the Seeing Stars Background cut file out of white cardstock and painted it with the Vicki Boutin Art Crayons in light blue, then I backed it with the Sprinkled With Love paper. For the Shooting Star cut file I used the Bubble Beauty paper; I cut just the star indifferent sizes to layer them and add dimension.

 I also cut a big star out of white cardstock, then I cut strips of several papers from the collection, cut a border with a punch and cover the star with them.

It’s time to build my layout! I glued the stars and my photo with adhesive foam to give them dimension. To finish my layout I added Ephemera, Doohickey, Bella-Pops, Washi Tape and Epoxy.

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

Have a lovely day!

To the Moon & Besties Meet Summer Day 4 | Yarelys

Hey Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you my new layout. To make this layout I used the collection To The Moon as well as the Bella Besties and one of the cut files.

To start my layout cut the cut file, I used the Lattice Background cut file. Then I cut squares from several papers of the collection and the Graph & Dot papers. I cut squares in different sizes to layer them and create dimension.

After cutting the squares and the cut file, I drew three squares in a white cardstock and painted them using the cut file as a stencil. I also hand stitched around the three squares.

To build my layout, I glued the squares and my photo with adhesive foam to give them dimension. To finish my layout I added Ephemera, Ciao Chip, Doohickey Stickers, Epoxy, Bella-Pops and Puffy stickers.

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

I went through the papers of the collection and picked the My Hole Universe paper to cut my cut file. I used the You’re The Best cut file from the Silhouette Design Store by Bella Blvd. I also picked the Imagine paper for my background and the Out Of This World paper to make a frame for my layout.

To The Moon Week and Heart & Ombre Week Day 3 | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper here today sharing a new layout using the new and amazing To The Moon collection along with a Bella Blvd cut file, The Sky Is The Limit.  You can find this cut file and other Bella Blvd cut files here.  There's a process video at the end of this blog post so make sure to check it out to see how this page came together!

 

 

To start, I cut the cut file out on a piece of textured white cardstock and backed it using a few different 12x12 patterned papers.  I wanted a fun mixed media background so I took a few Distress Oxide inks in blues and ink blended them onto another piece of textured white cardstock.  I sprinkled on some water, waited a few seconds and lifted the water with a paper towel.  It lifts up some of the color and creates some fabulous interest on my background.  I also added in some gold spray to add even more sparkle.  I wanted the background to kind of resemble a night sky.

 

 

I love how the background turned out and how the cut file just pops right on top of it.  

 

 

Next, I matted the photo using some of the papers in the collection and added some foam tape to the entire cut file.  I adhered the cut file to the page and tucked my photo underneath it.  I started embellishing using the Doohickey Cardstock Stickers and created a cluster to the right of the photo.  I also pulled in some of the Ephemera pieces and made 2 more clusters on the page.  In doing this, it will make your eyes go around the entire page especially since my son is looking to the left in the photo.  I didn't want the right side to be completely empty.

 

 

I popped a few of the Ephemera pieces up on some foam tape and added some tangled thread under each one.  I also pulled in some of the new It's a Boys World Puffy Stickers and Matte Enamel Dots and added them to each cluster.  

 

 

Here's another embellishment cluster: 

 

 

To finish off this page, I added some quick journaling and spattered some white acrylic paint around my layout.  

 

 

This layout came together so quickly and I love how it turned out!  Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope I've inspired you in some way.  Have you picked up this new collection yet?  I have so many ideas for it and can't wait to share them all with you!  Check out my process video below and I'll see you next time.  Bye friends!

The Sky Is The Limit Layout | Yarelys

Hey Bella friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout featuring the new collection To The Moon. For this layout l also used two of the Bella Blvd cut files.

I went through the papers of the collection and picked the Outer Space, The Sky’s The Limit, Reach For The Stars, Out Of This World and Shoot For The Moon to cut the Rocket cut file. Then I cut the The Sky Is The Limit cut file out of white cardstock.

For my background I made a cloud stencil and paint a sky, for this I used the Vicki Boutin Art Crayons in navy blue, grey and black. Once I had my sky painted, I did yellow splatters.

Now it’s time to build my layout! I glued the rocket and my photo with adhesive foam to create dimension. Then I glued the The Sky Is The Limit cut file, which I used as my title. I used adhesive foam in the sky and limit words to add more dimension.

To finish my layout I added some of the To The Moon Ciao Chip, Ephemera, Epoxy and Puffy Stickers.

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

Celebrating Mom Week Day 5 | Yarelys

Hey Bella friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here with you a new layout. To make this layout I used the Home Sweet Home collection, I also used the Bella Besties and three of the Bella Blvd cut files.

I start by cutting the Scattered Hearts Background cut file, I used only the half of it, and backed it with vellum. Then I cut the Heart Arrow cut file, I used the hearts to make my flowers. Finally, I cut the leaves of the Flowers cut file out of white cardstock and paint them with two different tones of green.

Now it’s time to paint my background, for this I used the Vicki Boutin Art Crayons in blue, purple and green. Oh! Love How this background turned out!

Once I finished my background, I started building my layout. I glued the cut file, my photo, the flowers I created with the hearts and the leaves. Then I fussy cut and glued some flowers from the Welcome Home paper.

For my title I used the Florence Alphabet Stickers in Peep and the Aria Alphabet Puffy Stickers in Ice. To finish my layout, I added some of the Acrylic Shapes Heart Mix and Trinkets Puffy Stickers in Plum and White.

Fun With Acrylics Week Day 5 | Yarelys

Hey Bella friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout featuring the Acrylic Words and Shapes. To make this layout I used the Let’s Go On An Adventure collection, I also used one of the Bella Blvd cut files.

I start my layout by painting my background, nothing crazy, just a little light blue watercolor. While my background dried, I went through the papers of the collection and picked the No Wifi Script, Daily Details, Morning Meadow, Mountain Peaks, Balloon Ride, Borders, Park Map and Shy Foxes and cut hearts from them. I used the XO Heart cut file from the Silhouette Design Store by Bella Blvd. I cut the hearts in different sizes and layered them to give them dimension.

Once my background dried, I glued my photo and the hearts, and added hearts and phrases from the Let’s Go On An Adventure Ephemera Words and Sticker Sheet.

For my title I used the Happy and Memories Acrylic Words. To finish my layout, I added some of the Trinkets Puffy Stickers in Pickle Juice and Guacamole, Ice and Gulf, Blueberry, McIntosh, and Bell Pepper.

Cut Outs Week Day 1 | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper here today for Cut Outs Week!  I absolutely LOVE working with Cut Outs, they're so convenient and perfect for when I don't want to fuss with my die cutting machine.  I love having them on hand and when I go to a crop later this year, I'm totally taking a stack with me!  This week, we were able to use a collection of our choice so I went with Splash Zone.  It's so fun and vibrant and was perfect to use with a pool photo.  Here's what I came up with!  Make sure to check out my process video at the end of this post to see how this layout came together.  

 

 

To start, I used the template that is provided in the Cut Outs packages.  I fussy cut one of the hearts out and used that to trace on a few different patterned papers from the collection.  This was so helpful because it is sized perfectly!  I ended up choosing patterns with blues, pinks and yellows.  I thought they would compliment my photo best.  When it came to backing the Cut Out, I only backed a few of the hearts.  I wanted to leave the rest open and more of a layering piece.  

 

I gessoed up a piece of the Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre paper in White.  Once that was dry, I added some mixed media to it by spraying a few Shimmerz Paints from my stash right on top of it.  I kept it pretty subtle since I only wanted a little of it to peek out from under my photo.  Then I popped up the Cut Out on some foam tape and adhered it down.  Next, I got to work on embellishing my page.  For my title, I used the "Splish Splash" acrylic word and added some tangled thread underneath it.  I thought it helped make it pop a bit.  

 

 

I added a few of the Ephemera Icons and Ephemera Words around my page.  

 

 

I love layering these pieces around my photo making sure to pop them up on foam to give them even more interest. 

 

 

I fussy cut a few icons from one of the patterned papers and added them into my embellishment clusters.  They're so little and cute!  

 

 

Lastly, I pulled out the Trinkets Puffy Stickers in Blueberry, Bell Pepper, Ice and Gulf and Punch, Peep and Cotton Candy.  I pulled a few hearts from each sheet and added them around my page as a finishing touch.  

 

 

This was such a fun layout to make and I hope that I've inspired you in some way today!  Have you had a chance to add some Cut Outs to your stash?  I highly recommend them, they're so versatile and easy to use.  I love that in most of the packages, you get more than one Cut Out so you can make several projects with just one set.  Thank you so much for being here and I'll see you in my next post!
