Just shows you how so many of there products go together perfectly... so let's get started.

Cut a white panel 4 1/8 x 5 1/2 and stencil the Crafty Background Stencils using the colors that you love. Once you are done with the stenciling adhere your panel to the card. 

Die cut the NEW Graduation Cap Shaker Dies on black and white cardstock. Create your shaker on the top part of the hat and instead of using acetate I used vellum and filled my shaker with the new Celebration Shaker Beads. Once you have your hat put together, stamp the sentiment on the white part using the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set in black ink. Now adhere your grad hat on the card using foam tape. 

Die cut the Large Celebrate Shadow Die on dark pink and white for the backer. Adhere them together and then add some foam tape to the back and adhere to your card.

Pretty Pink Posh April Release Blog Hop...


Welcome everyone to the Pretty Pink Posh May release blog hop.
I am so excited to be guest designing again for another fun release. 


Yay! for baby themed products, I know that we are all excited about all the cuteness that you are going to see. So let's get started. 


Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on white cardstock A2 size and stencil the new Pretty Pink Posh: Baby Words stencil. I used two blue inks for the stencil. Adhere your panel to your card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the large Eyelet Circles die on white cardstock. Leave the die in place after you die cut and add a little green and blue ink LIGHTLY on the lower half of the circle. Remove the die and see how fun the ink looks. Add your circle to the card using foam tape. 
 
Die cut the new Pretty Pink Posh Baby Rattle Shaker die on white cardstock. Use your inks to add the color to the handle. Die cut the large circle die again on white cardstock and then again with the small circle in the center. This will create the frame for the shaker. Add some ink to the circle frame. 

Die cut the large circle again on acetate and adhere it to the back of the circle frame. Now add some foam tape to the back of the circle frame but make sure you can not see the foam from the front so use thin foam tape. Now let's add some of those fun new Sweet Dream Shaker Beads and then adhere the white circle to close the shaker back. 

Add the handle and the decorative rattle scalloped border. Stencil the word BABY from the Baby Words stencil on the decorative part using blue ink. Add a few of those fun beads from the Sweet Dream Shaker Beads. Die cut the bow and adhere it to the handle and add more of those beads in the center of the bow. 

Stamp out these adorable images from the new Baby Basics stamp set on white cardstock using black ink and color them using your favorite medium. When it comes to the onesie I just stamped the strips using blue ink and then die cut all the images using the coordinating Baby Basics coordinating dies.  Add all your images to the scalloped circle. 

Finishing with the sentiment stamped from the new Sentiment Strips Occasions Stamp Set on white cardstock using black ink. Die cut the sentiment using the Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips dies. Die cut a decorative strips on white cardstock and add a little green ink and adhere them together and then to the card. 


Don't you just love that little shaker...... SO FUN
 

We can't forget about the girls.. pink.. YES, please
Are you loving it so far?


Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut a piece of pink cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue. Center the best you can.

On a white A2 panel stencil the new Layered Onesie stencils using light and dark pink. Die cut the panel using the large Eyelet Rectangle die and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

Stencil a white piece of white cardstock with the new Layered Onesie stencils with light and dark purple ink. Make sure the paper is big enough to die cut the Big Easter Cupcake bottom on. 

Die cut the new Baby Mug Additions on white cardstock and add some ink to the images. 

Using the die cut Cupcake bottom, let's create a scene using the fun baby images. Use some foam tape here and there when layering the images. 

Stamp the sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips Occasions Stamp Set on white cardstock using black ink. Die cut the sentiment using the Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips dies and add it to the card using liquid glue and foam tape.

Hello Beach Time...


Welcome friends.. YES, I am ready for some beach time and I love watching the sunsets. These two sets went together perfectly.... so let's get started.


Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on kraft cardstock 4 x 5 1/2 and adhere to the center of the card base using liquid glue.

cut a white panel measuring 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 and stencil the Lawn Fawn Beach Sunset Stencils. I did not use the palm tree stencil just the sunset theme. It lines up perfectly so pick your sunset colors and stencil this fun designs. 

Die cut the Spellbinders Day at the Beach dies on colored cardstock and piece together your fun scene. I used foam tape here and there for little dimension when adding this scene to my card sunset background. Adhere this panel to the center of your card. 


I love that the sentiment is on the hat... what a fun set. I just got it but this set is older and I got it in the clearance event they had going on last month. I think you can still get it.

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.

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!
