Friday Sketch

Today's post is bittersweet as it's my last as a Bella Blvd. design team member. I've been a part of the Bella Blvd. family for 3 1/2 years now, since their first design team and will miss working with all the incredibly crafty peeps over there!

For my last card I used today's Friday Sketch, the colorful new Invisibles and Color Chaos Strandz papers to create this fun and funky design.

It's been a wonderful three years, Bella Blvd! Thanks for a wonderful design team experience! 

Easter Gift Giving - Bella Blvd. Style

I've got a fun little Simply Spring gift giving project to share with you today made with Bella Blvd's new Invisibles sheer plastic sheets. One of my favorite ways to use these Invisibles is to create fun shapes with them using dies. 

If you're like me and have a lot of dies you will have a ton of creative options for doing this.! 

I discovered this old Sizzix Originals plate and the Invisibles together make some pretty cool bread tags! 

One of the tags was used for this bandage tin filled with Crayola colored pencils. 

Colored pencils are a great alternative to giving candy for Easter! And a great way to share my love of crafting!

The pinwheel was created by simply cutting a four inch square from an Invisible. Then with an awl punch a small hole in the center of your square. Next cut straight lines from all four corners up to an inch from the center hole. Then make small holes in all four flap tips of the pinwheel. I used my Crop-O-Dile for this. Then fold over and line up each punched corner with the center hole using a brad to secure. 

Bear Hug

Hello! One of the things I look forward to doing when warmer weather arrives is hiking! If you enjoy camping or other outdoor activities, the new Camp Out collection from Bella Blvd. is perfect for making pages of those outdoor memories. Or bear hug cards like this one.

I love the natural colors of this line and added a few touches of nature of my own with a wood clothespin accent and some burlap. 

Notice those bear paw prints? They're printed on a transparency! They're called Clear Cuts and are brand new from Bella Blvd! 

Congrats!

I've got a see-through card to share with you today that I created with Bella Blvd's awesome new Invisibles transparency sheets and the Star Student collection.

I love the look of clear cards, don't you? And this doodled design is just so much fun and perfect for school projects!
