Bella Blvd. Mix and Match

Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Bella Blvd. Blog today sharing two cards for their Mix and Match Feature.   I was so excited to get a box of newly released product just in time to make these cards. 

I used a mix of paper and elements from the following collections.

• Baby Boy (He Stole my Heart)
• Let's Go ( Baggage Claim, Mrs Blueberry Enamel Hearts)
• Illustrated Faith (Paper Pieces)
• She Blooms (Paper Pieces Die Cuts)
• Cute Clips (Pretty Boy)

For my second card, I chose an Easter theme.  I just love this pretty basked filled with eggs.


Here's what I used on this card.Sweet, Sweet Spring (Paper Pieces Die Cuts)

• Sweet Baby Girl (Sweet Safari)
• Zoo Crew (Train Ride, Borders)
• Cute Clips (Baby Girl

It's so fun to mix and match all the collections from Bella Blvd.  Stop by their blog to see more projects! 

Top 15 Projects of 2015

The Paper Issues Creative Team is sharing our Top 15 of 2015.  Head on over to the Paper Issues blog for tons of inspiration.  

I made this card for Paper Issues using paper from the October Afternoon - Summertime Collection.  I love this collection....I used almost every single bit.

Love this cute photo of my son and it was perfect for this layout that I made based on a sketch by Jennifer Chapin for Paper Issues using a mix of paper from Echo Park.

This card was made using a cut file designed by Kathy Skou for Paper Issues and paper from the Simple Stories - I Am Collection.

I made this layout based on a Paper Issues - Pinspire Me Mood board.  I love this color combo and all the fun patterns from Bella Blvd.

More Simple Stories - I Am and a sentiment with Paper Issues Snarky Stamps on this pretty card.

The October Afternoon - Treasure Map Collection was a perfect fit for these beach photos.  I cut the splash title with my Cameo and outlined it with red.

This is one of my all time favorite cards.  The Pink Pailsee Cedar Lane Collection is full of all my favorite colors with just enough sparkle.

This card was made witht he Bella Blvd. - Star Student Collection.

I am really inspired by the scrapbook sketch challenges over at Paper Issues.  This one game together so easily and I just love the way the paper matches Rusty's collar.

This card was made for a challenge for the Paper Issues Crop.

Another puppy layout with Fancy Pants - Oh Deer Collection.

A Summer layout with October Afternoon - Summertime Collection.

I used Echo Park for this card based on a sketch I did for Paper Issues.

Bella Blvd Creative Team - Mix and Match

Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I made with paper from Bella Blvd.   Bella Blvd uses the same colors on all their pape which makes mix and matching collection so fun and easy.

For this card I used one of the Art Prints from the Whatever is Lovely collection along with some paper from the Family Frenzy Collection. 

The "thank you" on this card is from the 3x4's in the Whatever is Lovely Collection.  I trimmed the card down to make it square and the chevron is one of the art prints from the same collection.  I mixed those two pieces with a pattern paper from the Make it Merry Collection.  

It's so fun to mix and match collection.  The possibilities are endless. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bella Blvd + Craftwell + Tombow Designer Team Up

Hi everyone!  Bella Blvd is having a week long team uip with Craftwell and Tombow.  Craftwell send us their Ebrush System to use with the Tombow markers.  I had so much fun playing with these fun products.

I knew right away I wanted to try a rainbow card.  The Bella Blvd - Just Add Color Collection was a perfect fit for the Ebrush.

I masked off my card to exposed 7/8" strips and then added color with the Ebrush.  Next, I trimmed rectangles from white cardstock and applied the alpha to create my sentiment and popped those up with foam dots.

My second card was inspired by the paint splatters on the Color Chaos Collection.   I die cut the "Hello" from white card stock using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used the eBrush to add color to the panel and then backed it with black.

For my final project, I used the Ebrush and a stencil cut with my Cameo to add a cute cupcake to a muslin bag.  I embellished with a Bella Bow, some Enamel Dots and DooDads and a sticker.  This would be a fun way to give a gift card or small gift.
