Wonderful Washi

You gotta love washi ! It comes in so many lovely colors and patterns and there's a million and one things you can do with the stuff! I have a Crafts - Washi Tape board on Pinterest that's loaded with ideas and creations. Recently I pinned this washi stickers post which gave me the idea for today's card design.

Instead of creating stickers, I used the negative punches as a design for my project. I used some of my favorite Decorative Tapes from Bella Blvd. and a die cut sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

What have you made with washi lately?

Love You the Mostest

In addition to fall activities and Halloween coming up in just a few short days...love is in the air! It's always there, right? Perhaps you're celebrating an anniversary or you just want to say "I love you the mostest!" Handmade cards like this are a fun way to express your love anytime.

I started making this card with an idea to pair up some of my favorite Bella Blvd. Designer Tapes and went from there adding a fun new Paper Pieces die cut from the Snapshots collection and dressed them up with some of my favorite Bella Blvd. accents...buttons, a crochet heart and mini flag. I love it! How about you? 

I have a busy morning planned so I must run. I have to bring Latte, one of our big fluffy cats, to the vet for a teeth cleaning, drop Christopher off at track-out camp and then head to the grocery store. But I've scheduled some paper play time this afternoon so I can create some more projects to share on the blog with you!

T.G.I.F! :)

Summertime

I have a quick card share for you...a summertime creation I made a little while back. Ah how I already miss summer! Mostly the sunshine and longer days, both of which have been absent quite a bit this month.

I used Bella Blvd. products for this project...Designer Tape, Flags, Button Boutique and Daily Chevies paper.

How about that bicycle? Isn't it fun? That's a die cut shape from My Favorite Things. Oh how I adore dies! :)

Thanks for the get well wishes for Christopher yesterday. He's as good as new today and went to track-out camp this morning. I hope he has a great time with all the activities they have planned!

Have a terrific Tuesday! :)

Happy Boo Day!

Hello! Yesterday I was in the mood to play with washi so I pulled out my tray of tapes and picked some favorite Bella Blvd. Designer Tape styles. Once I had these colors picked out I realized the Trick or Treat collection would coordinate perfectly! 

Eek! I love the color combo, how about you? And I like the way I can always find Bella accents to match anything I create! In this case these black buttons called 'text' fit the bill.

Thanks for letting me share my work with you. I hope you have a boo-tiful Thursday! :)

Petaloo & Bella Blvd.

Hi!

Did you enjoy my  team-up project yesterday using Doodlebug and Kiwi Lane? Would you like to see more team-up projects? This week Petaloo and Bella Blvd. are teaming up to bring you lots of fun projects and a chance to win some awesome goodies!

For my first project I created a card with Bella Blvd's brand new Sand and Surf collection and accented it with gorgeous Petaloo flowers, brads and trim.

For Valentine's Day I made my favorite guys some heart shaped sugar cookies and I thought Bella Blvd's Love and Marriage collection along with Petaloo's large mulberry flowers were perfect for preserving these yummy memories. 

Lastly I created this fun little floral trinket box by topping it with a laying of Petaloo flowers and a Bella Blvd. button and flag.

The sides of my box was so easy to cover with Bella Blvd's designer tape. No need for paper and glue! :)

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!
