Bella Blvd Celebrates iNSD 2024....

Welcome friends... today is iNSD 2024 and Bella Blvd is celebrating with lots of Scrapbook fun.... plus a fun card by ME. Today I am showing you how to use your scraps when creating a card. 

BUT FIRST...

Head on over to Instagram and hop along... 

there is a prize that you will not want to miss your chance to win. 

YAY! for cards even when we are celebrating Scrapbooking. When scrapbooking you always have scraps and we can find ways to create with them so they do not go to waste. So of course I have created a Bella card using the New Let's Scrapbook collection. 

My challenge for you today is to use those Stripes and Polka Dots scraps you have let over. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

You can trim down to whatever size fits your left overs. I trimmed these Let's Scrapbook papers to 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 on the top and the bottom measures 3 4 1/4. For the top I used Paper Party backer paper and added the Clear Cuts Be Happy right on top. I love layering the Clear Cuts on the designer paper. For the bottom I used Scrappy Talk backer colorful stripes. 

Adhere these papers to your card using liquid glue. When you layer the Clear Cut using a clear tape runner that goes on clear. I used the Thermoweb tape runner. 

To hind that seam in the middle I cut one of the Borders and trimmed off the heart design. You can really use any of these borders. I would use whatever you have left over. It measures 1 x 4 1/4, so you really do not need a big piece.

I also fussy cut one of the hearts and popped it up in the center. You do not have to do this. I just love dimension. 

Using the Let's Scrapbook Ciao Chip board I added this sentiment. It is already sticky on the back but I added some foam tape to give it a little more dimension. 

To finish I added those fun Scissors also from the Ciao Chip board. 

That is always enough to create a card. 

You can even create a card to coordinating with your scrapbook page.. why not... Right?

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful iNSD celebration.

Stay Cool...

Happy May blog friends.. today I am all about the beach with this Waffle Flower card that I created using old and new, so let's get started.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel 4 x 5 1/4 on yellow cardstock and adhere to the card using liquid glue.

Stencil the Waffle Flower Duo-tone Squares using blue, purple and yellow inks. Any will do, I say use whatever company you love the most. Sprinkle a little Copic Opaque mixed with water on your stenciled background and let dry completely.

Die cut the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die on your stenciled background and then add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. Center the best that you can. 

Stamp out these fun images from the Waffle Flower Stay Cool stamp set on white cardstock using black ink and color the images using your favorite medium. Die cut the images using the coordinating dies. Now create a fun scene or just add them to your card for cuteness. 

Finishing with stamping the sentiment directly onto your background using black ink. 

Yes, to summer.. right? I am dreaming of beach time or pool time.. I'll take both.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day.

Bella Blvd: Just Because... Mother's Day Themed Cards

Welcome blog friends.. today I am sharing two Bella Blvd Mother's Day cards using the new Just Because Collection.  This collection is so beautiful and easy to create with so let's get started.

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!

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.

Pick out two of the hearts from the Just Because Ephemera Icons, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the upper right hand side of the card.

With this gorgeous Just Because collection you can really create colorful and fun cards that will always bring a smile to the person you are creating for.

Pretty Pink Posh... Thank you...

Happy Saturday blog friends.. today I am sharing another fun Pretty Pink Posh card that is full of sparing fun and my favorite flower, the Tulip. So let's get started, shall we?

Die cut the Tulip from the Pretty Pink Posh Big Easter Cupcake die set on pink and red cardstock for the flower and green for the stems. Die cut 15 stems and 13 flowers and fill a white panel A2 size until your background is full of tulip fun. Adhere your panel to your card base using liquid glue.

Bloom...

YAY! for Friday.. I have been back from my trip almost a week and I am ready to go on another. It is nice not having to clean up after yourself or cook and wash dishes.. LOL If you did not know I went on an Alaskan cruise last week and it was fantastic. Perfect weather and just loved every minute of it. 

Today I have created a card using Picket Fence Studios. I just love this set, so let's get started. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut this cool  Picking Shear A2 cover plate die on black and white striped paper. This paper is from the MFT Black & White Strips 6x6 paper pad. Add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card base.

Stamp out two of the Picket Fence Studios Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy on white cardstock using black ink. Stamp the flower on an A2 panel and only stamp in the corners and then color using your favorite medium. Die cut the flowers using the coordinating dies. Since we only stamped on the edges of an A2 panel your will not need to trim off any edges. Just die cut and line up on our die cut panel and adhere to your card. On the lower flower add foam tape and on the top flower use liquid glue. I then added some NUVO Crystal Drops Simply White in the center of the flowers. Make sure to let dry completely before handling. 

Stamp out these fun sentiments from the same set Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy on white cardstock using black ink and then die cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card using some foam tape. 

Finishing with a little sparkle from the Spellbinders Paper Arts Color Essentials Gems. 

So simple... just a bit of coloring and really that was not that hard. I used two Copic markers and then I was done. 

That is all for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful Friday!
