Bella Blvd | Project Life Filler Cards..

Hello Friends! Today I want to share some project life filler cards created using designer tape as my inspiration.

There's a brand new collection of Designer Tapes designed by the amazing people over at Bella Blvd. The patterns and colours are simple divine!!!

Card 1 | Designer Tape Feather

My first filler card has been styled using a washi/designer tape feather. Using a piece of florist wire, overlap the designer tape and then trim it until it resembles a feather shape. Notch a few triangles from the long edges to give it a fringe look. Adhere to the filler card using wet adhesive.

Card 2 | Punched Shapes

Using white leftover cardstock, punch your shape. I am using circles. Punch a second shape in a coordinating patterned paper to match the designer tape you wish to use. Add the designer tape to one half of the cardstock shape. Trim to match the shape of the punch. With the patterned paper shape, cut in half and adhere to the blank space of the cardstock. To complete the embellishment, add a chipboard icon to the middle of your punched out shape. Add the designer tape embellishment to your project life filler card.

Card 3 | Stamps + Designer Tape

Trim white cardstock to project life filler card size. Add designer tape to the lower edge of the cardstock and add stitching for extra effect. Using a stamp, add a simple sentiment above the designer tape lines. To complete the card, add a few enamel hearts to the top row of designer tape.

Each type of card can be create using a variant on the methods above. Try wrapping a chipboard pieces in designer tape or adding the tape vertically rather than horizontal.

Don't forget to check out all the new patterned designer tapes now available through Bella Blvd.

Bella Blvd | November...

Hey there! I just wanted to share my latest Bella Blvd creation with you! I've been playing with the gorgeous new collection of washi stickers.

The Scrapbook Store | Play More...

Hi Everyone!  I hope your weekend has been creative so far.  I have had a little time to play and am so far holding out with hope for big plans to scrap tomorrow!  *grin*  In the meantime.. I have a layout to share created for The Scrapbook Store.

"Play More"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Elle's Studio: Serendipity; alpha - Jillibean Soup; other - Greatest View badges/flair; Ruby Rock-it cardstock stickers, white paint; tools - Dear Lizzy date stamp, The Crafter's Workshop stencil, black pen.

My July DT Kit supplied me with the gorgeous Elle's Studio: Serendipity collection.  It has the most delightful, soft and feminine colours but I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could create a boyish page.  I have focused more on the teal, grey and yellow colour combinations from the collection and teamed them up with Greatest View badges.

 

I have used a TCW chevron arrows template with white paint sponged directly onto the cardstock.  It is quite hard to see in these photos but if you squint, I'm sure you will see them!  *grin*  I've finished off the edges of my layout with some yellow chevron washi tape from my stash.  If you would like to get your hands on some or all of these products, head on over to The Scrapbook Store before they sell out.  Thanks for visiting..x

 

Bella BLVD | Fire Cracker...

Hello Friends!  I am back to share a little more of the All American collection from Bella BLVD.

"Fire Cracker"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella BLVD (All American); alpha - Bella BLVD; other - Bella BLVD: chipboard, crochet hearts, stickers, flags; paint, brads; tools - typewriter. 

With this layout I wanted to showcase how to use these patterned papers especially if you don't have any 4th of July/Americana photos to scrap.  Living in Australia, I struggled to come up with an idea at first.  Then I saw all the cute little fire crackers in the collection.  Instead of creating a layout with fireworks in the "traditional" sense.. I thought I'd use them in a "metaphorical" way.  Yes.  My middle son has a temper.  *grin*

Journaling: always quick to heat up, followed usually with a huge explosion!

Granted.. His temper tantrums usually come after his big brother has been antagonising him or I have repeatedly asked him to clean his room.. And it is not always a pretty sight.  But I wanted to document this aspect of his character.  Hmmm.  I am hoping that he will eventually outgrow this need to vent his frustrations in this particular way.  And so I scrap it.  The good, the bad and the ugly! *grin*

The Scrapbook Store | So Very Lovely...

Hi Everyone.  We are coming to the pointy end of the year where the kids have school concerts, Rock Eidstedfodds, Ballet Christmas Concert rehearsals and much, much more...  So the days haven't been filled with much scrapping lately.. :) 

But what I can do, is share this layout created with my November Kit for The Scrapbook Store..

 

"So Very Lovely"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Crate Paper (On Trend); other - Crate Paper: washi tape stickers & 12x12 chipboard, Mister Huey's color mist, versacolor ink, We R Memory Keepers washi sheet, button, Fancy That Dies: Hexagon wall paper.

I wanted to create a layout that was graphic in design but also had a feminine feel to it.  The block pattern, created from the 12 x 12 chipboard and "On Trend" patterned paper, has been accentuated by the hexagon wall paper die.. cut from a washi adhesive sheet.
