Carta Bella ~ Summer #2

Hi, it’s Anna back with you today! I’m sharing a second layout using the Carta Bella Summer collection. You can find it all in the shop here. 

For this layout, I started with the b side of the summer stamps patterned paper and tore it diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. I adhered this to some white bazzill cardstock. 

The remaining corner of the layout was looking a little bare, so I added some stitching around the boarder. 

I used a 5x3 photograph, mounted on sunflower bazzill and the b side of summer strawberries.  

I cut out three of the large clusters from the summer day floral patterned paper and arranged them around my photographs. 

I tucked a few elements from the frames and tags cardstock pieces around the photograph.

I cut out one of the cut apart pieces from the multi journaling cards and tucked it in to the right of my photograph (I journaled after taking the pictures). 

For my title, I used a foam sticker from the simple stories simple vintage cottage fields collection. I also added in a few of the hearts and a butterfly from the foam stickers too. 

Thanks so much for looking, see you again soon with one more layout from this collection.

Carta Bella ~ Summer #1

 Hi all, it’s Anna back with you today! I’m working with a new collection - Carta Bella’s Summer, which you can find in the shop here. 

I really loved the Lemonade Squeeze patterned paper, so I decided to base my layout on this and paired it with a perfect accompanying cut file “when life gives you lemons”. 

I used the Lemonade Squeeze patterned paper as my base and trimmed a sheet of Powder Blue 12x12 bazzill cardstock down by about an inch each side, making sure the lemons were visible. I distressed the edges of the bazzill cardstock before adhering it to the paper. 

I then set my cameo to work to cut out the cut file, instead of backing the letters on this cutfile, I kept the inner letters and inked them using distress ink in the shade of fossilised amber. I then mounted them onto 3D foam pads to raise them slightly from the rest of the cutfile. I mounted the lemon in two shades of bazzill cardstock and the b side of the summer strawberries patterned paper from the Carta Bella Summer collection. I completed the title with some alpha stickers by doodlebug. 

To embellish this layout, I used a few of the frames and tags ephemera pieces, including two small tags in the bottom left hand corner and the ‘sweet’ die cut to the right of my photo. I also used a few pieces from the Simple Stories Vintage Cottage Fields foam stickers, including the hearts and butterflies. The colours really paired well with this collection. 

And finally I added in a couple of word stickers from the sticker sheet #1 from the P13 collection Summer Vibes. 

I made my personal journaling hidden on this layout. To do this, I used a tag from the So Sweet Tags patterned paper and journaled on it, I added a punched hole and some twine to make it easy to pull out from behind the photo. I raised the photo using some 3d foam pads to allow a little space to slide the tag in and out. 

Thanks so much for looking, have a great weekend! 

See you next time with another layout from this collection.
