Louise W created this layout using the So Noted range from Carta Bella. She's combined some Prima stamps with various frames to build a stacked block look to the cluster of photos and elements, adding focus but leaving white space and balance on the page.

This second layout from Louise was also created using the So Noted range from Carta Bella. She's created a soft watercolour background and while wet, torn strips which she's used in pieces around the photo edge to add colour and interest. She has finished the layout using a circle of Zazz glitter glue, created with a Crafters Workshop template.

The Cool Summer Collection from Carta Bella is gorgeous! The collection has very cute iconic summer images and pretty patterns. The colour palette has all your soft gelato colours of your favourite ice cream flavours. This whimsical and fun filled collection is perfect for card making and scrapbooking projects. Leanne had a lot of fun with the bright patterned papers creating these three cards.
Leanne felt the very cute cloud paper made the perfect backdrop for this card. After creating the pinwheel by hand from a 2 inch square Leanne then used pinking shears to create extra strips to decorate the tips of the pinwheel from the co-ordinating papers in the 6x6 paper pad. She used the stickers to personalise the card and also added some additional trims from her stash. To frame her card Leanne hand stitched and distressed the edge of the card front. .Leanne liked the way the beautiful soft pastels really work well together in these papers.
The classic combination of pink and brown is one of Leanne’s favourites. To make this card she combined these colours with a hint a turquoise found in the striped paper she chose. Using cloud dies to form the top of the cupcake and her trusty paper crimper for the bottom cupcake started to take shape. To finish it off she rolled a strip of paper around some twine to form a candle for on top of the cake. The good times ticket together with a couple of hand cut flags and a light application of some crystal glitter glue finished off the card. Leanne has used foam mounting tape under the good times ticket and cupcake top to add some dimension to her card.
Spots and checks are featured right throughout this collection and on this card Leanne used the multi spot paper together with a soft floral turquoise and plain pink to create this card. The inclusion of plain coloured paper in the 6x6 pad takes all the hassle out of colour matching your paper to cardstock. Leanne also used the greens and browns in the plain papers to create perfectly matched punched leaves as well. The die cut Sizzix border was trimmed and some crinkle ribbon was threaded through the punched edging of the border. To finish off the card Leanne used her distress tool and folded and sanded the paper to reveal the white paper border and applied glitter to the matching buttons.

The very talented Jen Chapin from the Carta Bella Design Team created this stunning layout using the Cool Summer collection. You can see how well she has used scraps of patterned paper to frame the photo. Her selection of embellishments includes chipboard pieces and brads from the Cool Summer collection. She has also added some machine stitching and used foam mounting tape to add dimension. Thank you so much for sharing your layout with us Jen!
Natasja Verbeek, another one of the clever Carta Bella Design Team members, has also used the cool summer range for this gorgeous layout! Natasja has used similar papers from the Cool Summer but given them a completely different look. Using a plain coloured base and die cutting and hand cutting the clouds she has created her own distinctive look. Incorporating patterns behind her die cut layer added dimension as well. The layout has lots of dimension with the foaming up of the clouds and the clustering of stickers and embellishments. It’s great to see just how versatile the collection is – thank you Natasja for sharing your layout with us too!
The beautiful layout, bookmark set and card were all created using Carta Bella products by the very talented Patricia Roebuck. Her eye for design and layered details bring the beautifully co-ordinated ranges to life. You can see more of her work on her blog here.
