Hey friends! I'm here to "wrap up" cut outs week with a fun digital page!
Call me crazy, but I'm SO READY for January to be over, and that has me looking towards... Valentine's Day! I thought I would harness some of that red and pink love and create a layout FULL of hearts with the heart cut outs!
Backing cut outs with lots of patterned paper is ALWAYS my favorite way to use them! SO much fun!
What's your favorite way to use the cut outs? Do you like to fill a page with them, or cut them out and use them in smaller bits?
Cut Out Used: Heart Attack Digital papers from: Illustrated Faith You Are Loved; Squeeze the Day; Mom Life Elements from: Illustrated Faith You Are Loved Collection
Hi everyone! Lauren Seals here today sharing a fun layout using the Happiness Cut-Out. I have fallen in love with using the cut-outs. They are easy, the perfect touch, and add so much dimension to your projects.
I used the Wish Big birthday boy line to create this fun and super easy layout. I love that with the cut-outs they make it easy to create something that looks like it has a ton of work out it but is so easy to do with adding so much!
Here is a close up showing all the dimension that was also added to the layout using the cute trinkets. I used all the different sizes of hearts of the puffy trinkets to add some depth to the page.
If you haven’t tried out the fun cut-outs you definitely need to! With the template that they include it is so easy to assemble to add all this detail to your projects.

Hello, Bella fans! Tya here! I am up on the blog today sharing my latest Digital Scrapbooking post with you. Well, this week on the blog, my paper scrapbook friends are highlighting out awesome Cut-Outs -and I wanted to share with you how if you are a Digi scrapper, you can achieve a very similar look to the Cut-Outs by just playing with your Blending Options!
If you look closely at my "Winter" title - it does look like the colored letters are back behind the white border. The steps to achieve this are super simple. Create your title and make sure you add a pretty thick stroke around the letters that are white. Next, right-click on your layer. Go to the "Blending Options" tab and when the menu opens up click on "Bevel and Emboss" and then in the menu on the Bevel and Emboss screen, locate the Direction menu, and then click on the "Down" button, This makes the letters sink behind your stroke, resembling the Cut-Outs. This is a super fun way to add interest to your titles and make them pop!
I used the adorable "Holly Jolly Christmas" digital collection to make this fun, wintery themed layout! I love the colors and the navy was the perfect match for my photo! I love it when a collection matches my photos perfectly!
Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Crafting my friends!
Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today sharing a new layout for Cut Outs week! Have you had a chance to create with these yet? They are awesome. If you don't own a die cutting machine or if you do and are simply short on time or don't want to fuss with the process, these Cut Outs are perfect! They come to you precut and ready for any project. They now even come with instructions and templates which makes creating with them even easier. There are quite a few different designs that you can find here. I'll have a process video that is at the end of this post so please make sure and check it out! Here's my layout:
For this layout, I chose the Wonderland Cut Outs because they were perfect for the photos that I wanted to document. We ended up getting a pool put in and it happened to be completed (electrical and heating need to still be hooked up) the day before Christmas. After the boys opened up their presents on Christmas Day, they had a wild idea of jumping in the pool even thought it was freezing. It was the best moment and it was something I wanted to document for sure. We have worked so hard to get the pool and have saved and planned for 2 years so this was very exciting and cold of course lol.
I used the Fa La La collection and backed the Cut Outs using the patterned papers in blues, pinks and reds. I popped them up on foam tape and created somewhat of a square design by having the snowflake sections frame everything. Before adhering the pieces down, I did some mixed media on a piece of white cardstock using some Shimmerz Paints from my stash.
After my background was dry, I went ahead and adhered everything down including my photos. I matted them using a piece of the Blueberry Freehand Graph and Dot 6x6 patterned paper. I love the pop of the darker blue. I also added a pink scalloped border sticker from the Cardstock Sticker sheet and a white Festive Cute Clip to the top photo.
Next, I went through the Ephemera Icons and layered up a few pieces around my page. I also pulled the adorable Snowmen Bella Pops and thought they were perfect since it was a cold, wintery day!
Then, I added a few bits of tangled thread using the same color scheme around the page and also pulled in some of the matte enamel stickers as well. They really look like candy buttons!
Next, I got out the Ciao Chip chipboard stickers and adhered the snowflakes around my page.
I added onto the title using the White Aria Alpha stickers and also used the Florence Alphas in Blueberry to add the date. Lastly, I took a few white Epoxy hearts and added some into my embellishment clusters. For my journaling, I used a skinny Posca paint pen and didn't realize that the ink would still be pretty thick. I think I'll stick with my normal journaling pens next time!
One last shot of the layout:
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I had so much fun with this layout and I hope that I've inspired you to create or even go and purchase some Cut Outs! They really are super convenient and so nice to have on hand. The possibilities are endless and you get multiple Cut Outs in each package, so you'd be able to create a few projects with just one. Thanks again and I'll see you in my next post!

Hello Bella Blvd Friends! Today, I'm using the Over the Rainbow Cut Outs in my Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters Scrapbook. The pages are about 7.25x9 to give you an idea. I used the full rainbow, trimming it to go across both pages, and trimming just the tip off to give it more of a 'floating' feel. Since I'm using the Over the Rainbow Cut Outs, I went with the ombre side of Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Oyster to really make the rainbow colors pop.
I printed my photos to about 3x4, then placed under each of the clouds, trimmed and adhered. I happened upon this selfie of my 12-year old on my phone, and with her almost being a teenager, the rainbow was a perfect to fit to her changing personality. I backed the rainbow part of the Cut Outs with Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Pickle Juice, McIntosch, Plum, Ice, Bell Pepper, and Orange. I filled these areas with coordinating colors from Guacamole DooDads; Florence Alphabet Stickers in McIntosch, Bell Pepper, Ice, and Pickle Juice; Trinkets in Bell Pepper, Blueberry, Plum, McIntosch, and Orange.
The Over the Rainbow Cut Outs comes with a separate row of clouds. I decided to trim them in half, and tuck them under my Oyster Bella Besties paper on either side for a tone on tone texture to the edges.
To finish, I used the Hotness Acrylic Word, Pennants, and the Trinkets in Black.
Loved using the Cut Outs! My first time too. They are so nice to have ready to go, and then gives you so many options to use them. So try them out as I did here by using photos behind parts of the Cut Outs, fill the rest with Bella Besties and coordinating colors, then use some of the Cut Outs tucked under your background pattern paper for a tone on tone and textured look! Have fun and hope you share!
This week I am kicking off a week full of Bella Blvd Cut Outs inspiration! I love this new product from Bella Blvd and if you love the look of cut files on a project then you are going to love all the inspiration we have to share this week!
Cut Outs are cut from thick smooth white cardstock and the newest release also come with a cutting template. If you do not have an electronic cutting machine but love the look of cut files then this is the product for you! They are also great to pack up to take to a crop! Today I am using the 100% Awesome set that comes with two cut outs. A large beautiful title piece and a row of super cute stars both ready to back with pretty pattern papers!
I used the Bella Blvd Let's Go On An Adventure collection. I really love the Fairy Garden paper in this collection and the beautiful florals in the ephemera pack. I knew right away I wanted the Fairy Garden paper to really stand out so I matted a piece of smooth white 11.50x11.50 cardstock to it. I just love the black paper with all the pretty colorful flowers. I also used this pattern paper to back some of the letters of the title cut file.
I picked a couple more papers from the Let's Go On An Adventure collection to back the rest of the letters and then cut my photo out using a circle die from Pinkfresh Studio. This die has some diagonal stitching marks that help add a little interest to the photo.
I created a few embellishment clusters around the cut out and used the super cute fox from the ephemera pack. I also fussy cut a couple of the cute foxes from the Shy Foxes pattern paper in the collection. I love how clean and simple this layout looks but also love the pop of black. This is definitely one that I will hang up in my office. To finish off the page I add a few matte enamel dots from the Bella Blvd Cooper collection.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my layout today! Don't forget to come back tomorrow for even more Bella Blvd Cut Outs inspiration!
today I'm back with a new layout using the Chloe collection.
When I thought about what I would create for this layout, an idea popped into my head, where I would make cat heads and use thread all around to stitch and add little embellishments, like beads and sequins.
I thought about the best way that I could do that and I decided to cut out white cat heads, in different sizes, adhere them to patterned papers in rainbow colors, cut them out, leaving a border and then stitch on that same border, adding the embellishments.
That's exactly how I did it and I think it turned out amazing!
For the background, I put gesso all over my white cardstock and then I used acrylic inks to create this mixed media rainbow design. I just put some drops of acrylic ink on the paper, smooshed it around with a brush, spritzed some water and let it spread on the page by turning the paper up and down. I repeated that with seven colors, until the rainbow was complete. I dried it with my heating tool and then added white splatters for more detail.
With all those cute sparkly cat heads, I didn't really need a lot more. I placed them on my paper the way that I liked and chose a photo of my cat, Kätti. I matted it on white paper and adhered it next to my self-made embellishments. Then I used two tags from the die-cuts pack to place behind the photo.
I then went through the die-cuts and chipboard stickers and grabbed all the pieces that I thought I could use. I placed them on my layout and then I also added some enamel hearts.
For my title, I used chipboard words. The "cat" one was gray. To make it stand out more, I painted it black using my black ink from Liquitex.
Then I adhered my title above and on the photo.
I really like how it turned out, especially the beads and sequins on the cat heads. :)
I hope you're inspired to create a cute cat layout using this super pretty collection,
Hi, Bella friends! I still can't believe we've made it through the holidays, and we are already into a new year. After a long, and very tiresome 2020, I'm ready for all the good 2021 will bring. With that being said, I'm excited to be starting off the year sharing some fun Bella projects with you all. For today's project, I focused on using the purr-fectly adorable Chloe collection and some Bella Besties.
I wanted to use two photos on this layout, so I started with putting down my photos onto the layout. From there, I started to embellish around them. One way to embellish my layout was by using the Florence alphabet stickers. I wanted to make my title stick out, so I used a whole rainbow of colors.
And to further embellish the Florence alphabet stickers, I added some coordinating Bella Besties hearts to the letter "O"s. It really brings out the "meow"s with the hearts in the middle. Don't you just love simple ways to make something look that much better?!
I used a Bella cut out for the paw to add more feline fun! I added some fun Chloe patterned paper to it to make it really show up on my layout. And again, I added more Florence alphabet stickers to the bottom of my page; the bright letters add so much color to my layout.
Voila! Meow layout complete! That's all I have for now.
I hope my layout inspired you in one way or another to document your furbabies. And if you do get around to creating something, please feel free to share with us over on the Bella Blvd FB page. We always love to see what you make.
Until next time,
Sarah

Hi everyone Lauren Seals here sharing a ‘purrfectly’ cute and sweet mini album designed with Chloe & Bella Besties. So much cuteness for all cat lovers in this 6x8 mini album.
My favorite part of this mini album is how the cover turned out creating the background using the hearts Bella cut-outs along side the papers from the Chloe line & a variety of Bella Besties. The cut-outs add so much depth and make it so easy to create your whole design for the base of your project. Paired with the Bella Besties is absolutely perfect with the little bit of pattern they add so much dimension.
I used the Chloe ephemera icons & words to add some fun little layers and embellishment clusters throughout the album. As well as one of my favorite things from the sticker sheet, the photo corners. I love love love using these on the outside my pocket pages in mini albums.
I also used the Bella aria alphas to create some fun titles for the cover and throughout the album. They are such a great size to add to your mini albums to personalize and add dimension. I love a good grid style layout and they are so much fun to do in a mini album to create extra space for journaling, pictures, and of course embellishing. I love also how fun they look using the Bella Besties as they add so much extra looking texture to your layout or project.
I don’t personally have cats but this line is so fun and cute for all the cat lovers. I also think it is perfect for even scrapping pics of your little girls and all their fun cat toys, clothing, and stuffed animals. Simply sweet, bright, and cheerful even beyond the cute kitties.
I love in mini albums how many fun techniques you can use to add so much depth and dimension as well as texture. I even added a fun little shaker pocket using my pocket page and the border sticker to seal it shut.
I had so much fun creating this fun mini album with all the colors, all the depth, and all the cuteness! I can’t wait to share with all of you again soon.

Good day everyone! On today's layout I used the kitty-themed Chloe collection but just pulled out all of the general themed pieces to create a non-themed layout. I also mixed in some of the timeless and fabulous Bella Besties papers and embellishments!
I usually document all of the fun and good things about life, but the turning of the new year left me reflecting on how 2020 was kind of tough and changed me as a person. It felt SO GOOD to document this part of life as well. I love how this layout turned out!
Here I mixed general papers from the Chloe collection and some of the coordinating Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre patterned papers to create my own fun embellishments using hexagon and star shaped punch tools! I finished off each star with puffy stickers from the Bella Besties Trinkets Puffy Sticker Sheets! I also embellished the around the page with adorable Bella Blvd Heart Hugs, which are 3 dimensional corrugated cardboard stickers. I love the texture they add to my page!
My new favorite alphabet stickers have to be the awesome Aria Puffy Alphabet Stickers! Here I used the Ice and Punch Aria Alphas for the title. I used the Florence Number Stickers to finish off the title with 2021. All of Bella Blvds collections and Bella Besties papers and embellishments mix and match so well, wouldn't you say?!
What is your favorite Bella Blvd Bestie? Is it the Hearts & Ombre Patterned Papers or the Puffy Stickers? There are so many great choices, I can't pick just one! I had so much fun mixing them with the Chloe collection to create this fun and colorful layout! I hope you like it as much as I do!
