Hello friends! I recently purchased Bella Blvd’s newest Cooper and Chloe collections. Both are absolutely adorable. I really like that Bella Blvd is now including 6×6 paper pads with all their collections. I decided to start with the Cooper paper pad. I also purchased the coordinating ephemera and 12×12 Bella Besties.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 38 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just under 6 1/2 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here is the cardstock I first pulled before starting on the cards. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 5 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Blue Oasis – Bazzill
Caramel Apple – Bazzill
Orange – Coredinations
Chocolate – Bazzill
Milkshake – Bazzill
Gray – unknown
Black – Recollections
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. I also included some sketches by Queen & Company that were designed to work with their Foundation die sets. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Bella Blvd’s Cooper 6×6 paper pad.

Thank you so much for stopping by my website and for your continued support!
Super cute cards and –wow– 38 cards! You have been very busy lately! I really liked this collection with all the bright colors and cute doggies. Did you use up all the ephemera or does your daughter get that as well? I’m sure she’d put it to good use. I am not sure I have a favorite because they are all so sweet, but I really liked the scenes you created in the beginning. TFS and thanks for all your videos lately. They have been very inspiring!
Thank you so much, Jennifer! Yeah, the paper just seems to keep going this time. Lol! But that’s good since it’s super cute. 🙂 I still have quite a bit of ephemera leftover, but only 1 dog image. I generally share most of my extras with Penny. It makes her happy. I hope you have a lovely weekend. (I’m editing another 6×6 video.)
I absolutely love your videos! I can’t stop watching them. I get so caught up in them I could sit for hours watching. I have to say I love the new Bella blvd Cooper. I bought it as soon as I saw your video sneak peaking it. We are a family of Dog lovers so I am sure I will be making the 6×6 pad cards with it very soon. Thanks again for all your hard work putting together these amazing videos for us to get caught up in. Be safe 🙂
Aw, thank you so much Laurel! I appreciate your kindness and support. I don’t even have a dog and I love the new Cooper collection from Bella Blvd. The images are so cute! I can’t wait to get started on the Chloe collection. Lots of pinks in that paper pad. 🙂
Wow, Kristie, this is a terrific collection of cards. I wasn’t sure I’d be totally enamored, but looking at each card, I can see how cute and sweet this paper pad is. You did an outstanding job on the cards. Very appealing. Thanks so much for being so dedicated in making the videos and sharing them so quickly. I know it takes so much time to create, but then to photograph and edit, as well as posting to the blog, it sounds daunting. But you do and outstanding job. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jeanne! I don’t even have pets, but I couldn’t resist this darling paper collection. I’m glad I decided to get the coordinating ephemera. The dog images are so cute! I hope you have a lovely weekend! 🙂
