Bella Blvd | B🐾W WOW! | Mother's Day Inspiration

Welcome blog friends, today I am sharing from the newly released Bella Blvd BOW WOW! collection. If you are a dog lover you have got to get your hands on this fun and colorful collection. 

First up is this cute little puppy sharing some love for his Mom, who take's good care of him all year long. 

Create card from white cardstock measuring 4 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Cut a panel measuring 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 on the SMILE MAKER Backer paper and adhere it to the card base using liquid glue.

Cut an A2 panel on the SIT STAY SPEAK Paper and adhere it to the center of the card base using liquid glue. 

Cut three strips of the PAWPRINTS ON MY HEART Paper Backer measuring 1 x 4 1/4 and adhere them to the card starting at the bottom using liquid glue. Leave a small gap between each strip. 

Cut three strips measuring 3/4 x 4 of the TOP DOG Paper (make sure to not cut on the design) cut between the white space. Adhere these strips in the center of the PAWPRINTS ON MY HEART Paper Backer paper using liquid glue. 

Cut two strips measuring 1/8th of the DOG PACK Paper and adhere these strips in between the three strips using liquid glue.

Pick out this adorable pup from the Ephemera Icons, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of the card. 

To finish pick out this I LOVE YOU Heart and red heart from the Ephemera Words and adhere them to the card using foam tape.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a strip measuring 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 of the DOG PACK Paper Backer and adhere to the lower part of the card base using liquid glue.

Pick out the We ❤️ You sentiment and Flower garden from the Ephemera Words. 

Add some foam tape to the lower half of the flower garden and adhere it to the card where the designer paper meets the card base. Do not put foam tape on the top part, because we are going to tuck these cut pups behind it. 

Pick out these two pups from the Ephemera Icons and adhere them to the card using liquid glue. Tuck them behind the flower garden, so it looks like they are peeping out. 

Add the We ❤️ You sentiment using foam tape to the back and adhere it to the right side of the card by the flower garden. 

Let's also add one of those Dog Lover Epoxy hearts to the sentiment. 

Simple but oh so cute.... don't you think?

Lunar New Year Challenge | April Inspiration

YAY! it is April and time for another fun Lunar New Year Challenge.

Four amazing Sponsors, four amazing prizes.

Link up HERE

Today I am sharing some inspiration from one of the awesome sponsors Altenew.

This card can be used for a Birthday or for just telling someone they are amazing. 

I have created this card using Altenew:

• Paint-a-Flower Flowering Dogwood stamp set
• Tangerine Grove
• Halftone Cover Die
• Watercolor Paper Set (4.25x5.5)
• Watercolor 36 Pan Set
• Watercolor Brushes (Round)

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On one of the Altenew Watercolor Papers, watercolor the entire panel using yellow, orange and red. Use the Altenew Watercolor Brushes for a smooth blending. Set aside and make sure to let dry completely before die cutting the Halftone Cover Plate. 

On another sheet of the Watercolor Paper stamp these pretty flowers from the Flowering Dogwood stamp set. Make sure to use an ink that is made for watercoloring. We do not want the ink to smudge. 

Watercolor the flowers using the Altenew Watercolors 36 Pan Set. Lots of colors to choose from, so use whatever colors make you happy. I am a pink and orange kind of gal. I watercolored the flowers using the Altenew Brushes, they are round and sure do make watercoloring easy. 

I did not have the coordinating die so I did a little fussy cutting after the image was completely dry. 

Add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

Stamp this pretty sentiment from the Tangerine Grove stamp set on white cardstock using black ink. Trim down and add it to your card using foam tape. 

To finishing I mixed a little gold with water and sprinkled the card for a little sparkle. Make sure to let dry completely before handling. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a crafty fun day and don't forget to link up.

Bella Blvd: My Life 365 Collection | April Inspiration

Happy April everyone. This is my favorite month of the year. It is when Spring starts and how awesome is it that Jesus has Risen? What a wonderful blessing. Today I am sharing two cards that I created using the My Life 365 collection. This is the April set that is part of the collection. Let's springy. 

First up we are celebrating that Jesus has Risen with this sweet tag fill card. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size. 

Cut a panel measuring 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 on the Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dot Bell Pepper. Die cut or machine cut a decorative strip on the bottom of the panel. Adhere this panel to your card starting at the top. You should see your pretty decorative strip at the bottom and will also have some white space. 

Cut out the two tags from the April paper and punch the holes out at the top of the tag. I used a hole punch. I adhered the tags together using foam tape. Angle the tags so you can see them both but make sure your tag holes are lined up. 

Use some burlap string and tie a bow on the tags. 

Add some foam tape to the back of the tags and adhere them to the card. Try and keep them on the Bell Pepper paper. Leaving the white space free. 

Pick out some of those pretty flowers from the Ephemera Icons and add them to your card. I did three on each side, but you can use as many as you like. 

I finished with a little dimension adding some of the Epoxy dots and some of the dots from the Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers Peep and White to the center of the flowers. 

Next up we have bunnies... yes, cute bunnies. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On a white A2 panel adhere a A2 panel of the Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dots (Ice) from the 6x6 paper pad. 

Cut a strip of the April backer paper measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Cut another decorative edge on the top part of the paper and then adhere it to your card using liquid glue.

Die cut or machine cut some grass (or what appears to be grass) on the Bella Besties Freehand Graph &  Dots Pickle Juice backer paper. I die cut two of them and then layered them at the bottom of the card using foam tape. 

Cut out these two bunnies from the April paper using fine scissors. Add them to the card behind the grass using liquid glue. Make them look like they are peek out from the grass. Add some of those cute flowers from the All Year Long Puffy Stickers.

Pick out the two carrots from the Ephemera Icons and add them to the card using liquid glue. 

Let's also add a few more carrots from the All Year Long Puffy Stickers. 

Cut a small strip of the Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dots 6x6 paper (Pony) measuring 3 1/4. 

Trim down the Hoppy Hoppy Hoppy Easter that was part of the bunnies we just trimmed down and adhere  it to the Pony strip we just cut. Tuck it into the grass and adhere it to the card using foam tape. Knew we have a sign on a post. 

Finishing with a Happy Sun from the My Life 365 Doohickey. I added foam tape to the back and adhere it to the scene. 

Adhere your panel to the card and you are done. Lots of steps but super easy.

Bella Blvd | Just Because | Spring Inspired

Happy day Blog friends...  Today  I am on the Bella Blvd Blog and I am totally inspired by Spring. The Bella Blvd: Just Because collection is full of spring fun and let's just say it was easy to create these cards using it. Layering up all these pretty papers just makes me happy. So let's get started.  

First up, I wanted to show you how you can use the Cut-Outs on cards too. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a strip of the Daily Detail backer paper measuring 2 x 5 1/2 and adhere it to the left side of your card base using liquid glue.

Cut out two of the Bows from the Cut-Outs Bloom & Grow. Use the template for the bows to cut the designer paper to fit behind each bow. I used the Daily Details backer paper, Sing Me A Song backer paper, A Great Day backer paper, Dancin' Daisies backer paper, Cute Messenger back paper and  Frameworthy backer paper. Once you have all your pieces adhere to the back, add some foam tape and add them to the card. 

Picked out the You Are Loved sentiment from the Ephemera Words and add some foam tape to the back and add it to the card. 

Finishing with a few of those pretty flower You Are Loved Puffy Stickers. Add one to the center of each bow. 

Inspired by a garden and thinking of flowers. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut an A2 panel out of the Frameworthy backer paper and adhere it to the card base using liquid glue. 

Die cut or machine cut a rectangle measuring 3 x 4 on the Hello paper and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of the card. 

Die cut or machine cut a wreath on the Borders backer paper and adhere it to the center of the rectangle using foam tape. 

Pick out some of the flowers from the Your Are Loved Puffy Stickers and Flourish Epoxy Stickers and add them to the wreath here and there. When overlapping the flowers I used foam tape on one of the flowers. 

Pick out this cute hedgehog from the Ephemera Icons and add it to the center of the wreath using foam tape. 

Add the butterfly from the Fluttery Bella-Pop to the wreath.

Finishing with the sentiment from the Ephemera Words, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card.
