Hello friends! I’m still working my way through some fun Christmas collections. Next up is Bella Blvd’s Fa La La collection. Since they didn’t make a 6×6 paper pad for this collection, I purchased the 12×12 sheets instead. The patterns are still small enough to work for cards. I also bought the coordinating ephemera pack. I love all the sweet images and designs in the collection. Plus, there’s a bit of pink and that always makes me happy.
I kept my cards fairly simple and didn’t use any dimensional adhesive. I always try to make some Christmas cards that won’t require additional postage to mail. I made a total of 34 cards and still have some 12×12 paper leftover.
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
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. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Bella Blvd’s Fa La La collection.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
Beautiful cards! The way you pair the papers is perfect every time! I have a question about the Bearly glue? Why is it better than the art glitter glue? Thanks Kristie and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed using this paper collection. 🙂 I think both glues are great! There are a few advantages with Bearly Art Glue, in my opinion. I recently shared a comparison video on my YouTube channel.:)
Cute cards! And super cute ephemera! I am impressed by how many cards you were able to get from each design! TFS!
Thank you, Jennifer! I really love Bella Blvd collections. Even if they aren’t making 6×6 paper pads anymore. 🙂
Hi Kristie,
I love how you layer your sentiments, do you have layered banner/fishtail dies or do you just do them by hand? I have looked and looked and can not find layered dies. Thanks!!
Thank you so much! I just add the layers to the banners myself and cut the fishtail by hand. It would be nice if there were dies available. 🙂
