Gift Boxes for St. Nick Day!

Good morning everyone! Today I am sharing my first creation as a member of the 2018 Bella Blvd Creative Team. I am so excited! I love working with Bella Blvd products and the Santa Stops Here collection is no exception! I created these little gift boxes in no time using the Holly Pillow Box cut file I found in the Silhouette online store.  

I used the adorable blue snowflake patterned paper for the base of my first pillow box. I then added a strip of fun candy cane striped paper around the box. I easily finished the box using a pink Bella Blvd Cute Clip bow, an adorable elf ephemera piece, and a cute Santa Epoxy Sticker. 

I die cut the second box out of the coordinating candy cane patterned paper. I used another strip from the Santa Stops Here Borders paper to wrap around the middle of the box. Again, I easily finished the box off with another Bella Blvd Cute Clip bow, ephemera piece, and cute matching epoxy sticker. Who wouldn't love to receive these little boxes?!?!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to craft a goody box or two for a loved one!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Summer is All About Cool Treats!

Good day everyone! I am so happy to be showing off the fun summer themed Beach Day collection from Carta Bella Paper! I love Beach Day’s vibrant color palette! This collection is perfect for documenting any warm weather activity, such as family night at the local ice cream place! I just can’t get enough of the cute pineapples, popsicles, and flip flops! What is your favorite part of Beach Day?

To create my circular background elements, I used the fun new Scallop Circle Die Set. I used the larger die to cut out circles and scalloped circles from the royal blue patterned paper, the green solid paper, and the orange ombre paper. I then created a fun background design that would allow my embellishments to really stand out!

The coordinating sticker sheet includes this fun alphabet and adorable sunglass sticker. And, the matching enamel dots are the perfect accent to finish off the page!

I love that Beach Day also includes some everyday summer elements that I could use since I don’t go to the beach very often. And this white woodgrain patterned paper with the rainbow stripes that I used for the background is my favorite patterned paper in the collection. It just screams summer!

Isn’t this yellow and white striped flip flops sticker just the cutest? I just love embellishing the sticker elements with enamel dots!

Thanks for joining me. I hope I have inspired you to create your own summer layout and not just made you hungry for ice cream today!
