Cards on Thursday

Hi!

It's time once again for Cards on Thursday and 'tis the season to get creative with Bella Blvd's Christmas Wishes collection. My first card combines a few favorites, tags, Kraft stock and negative die cuts.

I love these bright and festive colors and patterns! For my second card I pulled out the Designer Tape and Ciao Chip alphabets.

Oh what fun! I like how the two cards look together, how about you? For more stunning cards from my teammates, hop over to the Bella Blvd. blog. You're sure to be inspired! I was!

World Card Making Day

Hello!

Did you know it's World Card Making Day? Isn't that awesome?!?! Bella Blvd. is celebrating the occasion with cards from the new design team and giveaways! Every hour, on the hour, will be loaded with inspiring card creations and there will be some great prizes to win along the way!

Here's my card creation for the event.

I had fun playing with Designer Tape and stitching to create this colorful background.

My card is topped with yummy Ciao Chip stars.

Ooh la la, I love these colorful chevron stripes!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Bella Blvd. for a fun-filled World Card Making Day!

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Head

Hello there!

Would you believe I still have summer CHA projects I haven't shared yet?  Here's a page I created with Bella Blvd's new fall line called Thankful.

These colors are perfect for autumn and this blue background paper is a favorite of mine, called Turkey Tracks. Isn't that a cute name?!?! I used an older picture of Christopher that I cherish!

Kids, they grow up so fast, don't they?

Accents include Button Market styles, Ciao Chip, High Five Alphabets, Designer Tape and Flags. It's fun to mix and match all these Bella Blvd. embellishments!

'Tis the season for pumpkins! If you would like to see more Thankful projects, head over to the Bella Blvd. blog.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the page.

Core'dinations & Bella Blvd. Team-Ups Week

T.G.I.F! It's the last day of Team-Ups week with Core'dinations and Bella Blvd! Have you enjoyed the week? Have you been inspired by all my teammates projects and from the ladies at Core'dinations? I have one more project to share with you, a scrapbook page.

I've fallen in love with the Core’dinations Jillian Dot! This card stock combines three of my favorite things, bright colors, texture and polka dots!  Pair it with the Bella Blvd. Baby Girl collection and you have the perfect mix of whimsy which is ideal for documenting this very special mother’s day gift from my son.

The pinwheels were made by doubling up two die cuts so that they have two different colors. I discovered you can print on the Jillian Dot paper, just make sure you print after you do your sanding.

I added lots of cool Bella Blvd.accents, Flags, Designer Tape, Ciao Chip and a Button Market flower shaped button. For my title, I used some alphabet dies.

So, do you think Core'dinations and Bella Blvd. make a great team?

Be sure to check out all the great projects and giveaway opportunities at Core'dinations and Bella Blvd!

You Are Sunshine

Let me start this post by saying, "I love Pinterest!" Yesterday morning while surfing my beloved Pinterest, I came across this pin of a banner made with washi tape!

Immediately my paper crafty brain kicked into high gear and had to make one of those cuties for a card! And as they say, "...the rest is history!" ;)

Lucky for me I have these new Designer Tapes from Bella Blvd. to play with! And they match perfectly with the new Sunshine & Happiness line!

Did you notice I made one of the cloud die cuts with Designer Tape too? I did that by attaching a couple rows of  tape to a piece of vellum and then ran it through my die machine. The neat thing about using clear vellum is that your tape will remain transparent!

The round chipboard accent is Ciao Chip from Bella Blvd. and the 'many thanks' stamped sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Well, I'm off to browse Pinterest! ;)
