Spring Embossed Cards - FotoBella

Today I am sharing my second project of the month featuring the BoBunny Cottontail Collection. This is the first time I tried using an embossing folder over pattern paper. I selected papers with very small discreet patterns to try this technique. I love how the subtle texture brings extra life and pizazz to the cards. You can see two more card samples featuring BoBunny - Cottontail on the FotoBella Blog HERE.

You can find out more about my cards HERE on the FotoBella Blog.

The background paper is from the Simple Stories collection called Sub Zero. It is the perfect combination of bright colors that celebrates the fun of the Winter months.  I hope I have inspired you to dig out your button collection and feature them prominently on your next project.

Naughty or Nice Layout - FotoBella

Today I'm sharing my scrapbook layout on the FotoBella Blog using the Simple Stories collection called Sub Zero. I created an accordion fold mini album that holds five photos and adds a kinetic element to the layout. You can find the step by step tutorial HERE.

Confession Corner:  The final design of this layout was not my original plan. My first idea was to incorporate five small photos under the main photo. I wanted the photos lined up like little Christmas gifts with bows on top. However, the colors in the photos resisted my idea and just didn't look too good with the background papers. Therefore, I had to go to "plan B" an accordion fold mini album.

FotoBella - Happy Halloween Card

Here is a moderately spooky Halloween card with a slightly vintage feel which is super easy to make. I used lots of patterned papers that perfectly compliment each other and tie the card together because they are all from the Graphic 45 kit - Off to the Races.  Even kits that are heavily themed have loads of smaller patterns that can be used in other projects.  Don't be afraid to stretch your supplies!

Easel Cards - FotoBella

Hello Crafty Friends,
Here are my second projects of the month featuring the glorious Graphic 45 kit "Off to the Races." I hope you enjoy my two easel cards. I did one super feminine card with a touch of lace and the second one was more masculine by avoiding the rose designs. So it is good to note that with what may appear to be a feminine kit, it is possible to make manly projects from this kit as well.

Maculine Cards - FotoBella

Hey There,
If you know someone who is crazy for horses then this is the kit for you. This equestrian theme kit is cram packed with horses racing & jumping.  For the true equestrian lover, there are unlimited possibilities. I began by selecting a card from the ephemera pack. Everything coordinates so easily, it is nearly impossible to go wrong when selecting background papers and mattes. I added small embellishments by selecting ornate metal charms and coordinating chipboard accents.  Truly amazing! Let's go "Off to the Races!"  Find out all about my cards HERE.

www.fotobella.com

 

If you prefer, you can downplay the horse theme a bit if you focus on the abundance of roses and the stunning woman adorned with incredible hats & attire.  Beautiful intricate patterns and elegantly dressed people intermix to the perfect proportion to create a luxurious feast for the eyes as only Graphic 45 can achieve. Stay tuned, later this month I'll be back to share my very feminine cards created from the Graphic 45 - Off to the Races kit.
