Love You to the Max with Bella Blvd

Hi everyone! Today I am excited to share my newest layout with you. My favorite layouts are usually ones that have a rainbow design and this one is no exception! I love the fact that the Bella Blvd Heart Hugs corrugated cardboard stickers come in so many different colors. I was able to easily add a rainbow of them to my project! I also love that all of the Bella Blvd collections easily coordinate with one another. I pulled pieces from the Wish Big Boy, Wish Big Girl, Plaids and Dotty, and Island Escape collections for this project!

I started this design by using my Silhouette die cut machine to cut out the main design piece using the Love Meter cut file from the Silhouette Design Store. I then cut that into sections and hand traced and cut out those individual sections onto patterned papers of different colors. I then added the Heart Hugs in coordinating colors above the meter. I enjoy using different textures on my projects, so I love that the Heart Hugs are corrugated cardboard and they add fun dimension! The cool thing about the Heart Hug packs is that they also contain matching enamel dots, which I also embellished my meter design with. The chipboard frog is from the Wish Big Boy collection and the light pink florals are from the Island Escape collection. The multicolor phrase stickers are from the Word Salad Sticker Book. Super fun, right?

I can't get enough of the Plaids and Dotty patterned papers. They make great backgrounds without being overwhelming. I embellished my photo with a Bella Blvd felt bow and, of course, another Heart Hug!

I created my title section by starting with a square of dark blue patterned paper from the Wish Big Boy collection. I embellished that with Punch colored Puffy Alphabet Stickers and Orange and Pickle Juice colored Puffy Star Stickers. And what did I finish it off with but another adorable Heart Hug! 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to make a fun design using Heart Hugs on your next project!

Cut it Up Saturday! - Paper Issues

Good day friends! Here is my take on the Cut It Up Saturday Challenge over at Paper Issues! Be sure to head over to the Paper Issues blog today for free love inspired and heart cut files! I used just one of the hearts and repeated it to create my heart line design. I also used the gorgeous Bella Blvd Valentina line available in the Paper Issues store here!

I am seriously in love with this heart shape! I just copy and pasted it in the Silhouette software to create my lines. Super easy! I backed the cut out with the red kisses patterned paper. Swoon!

And I seriously can not get enough of the alphabet from the coordinating Valentina sticker sheet! It is just soooo cool!  Thanks for joining me! And don't forget! Head over to the Paper Issues blog today to grab the free die cuts!

Ombre Fun with Bella Blvd

Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I wanted to work on a love inspired layout and the Bella Blvd Valentina collection is perfect! I am also still loving the ombre effect so I had to use the ombre patterned paper from this collection. You will love this paper. It does not disappoint! You can find it and the Bella Blvd Valentina collection in the Paper Issues store right here! 

Who noticed that I embroidered around the edge of the layout in an ombre effect that matches the patterned paper? Yes, it did take some extra time and I felt a little crazy! But I am so happy with the way it turned out!

The Valentina collection also has a coordinating sticker sheet that has fun shaped stickers to finish off a layout. I just added foam adhesive under the ones I wanted to pop up a bit. 

I layered pieces from the collection with a tilted photo to add interest to the page.

The font on the alphabet sheet is oh-so-fun too!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to try an ombre effect on your next layout!

Valentine's Inspired Layout!

Good day everyone!  Today I am sharing my Valentine's inspired layout using a non-Valentine's collection.  It was so easy to do... I just pulled out the neutral colors of cream and black.  And then I pulled out all of the pinks, reds, and teals of the collection too!  I used Pink Paislee's Hey Kid and Sentiment Series- and they worked really well on this Valentine's inspired layout about my pooch! 

 

 

I love the vellum banners like the ones shown here... They add just the right amount of interest to the page!  The other pieces are from the ephemera pack.

 

 

 

I placed one picture away from the group of photos for something just a little bit different.  I like the way it turned out!  

 

And I hope I have inspired you to look through your non-themed collections for products that can be used on a Valentine's layout!  As always, thanks for dropping in and have a great day!

Hugs, Tegan
