Creating A Tag Card For My Friends Birthday..!

Today I’m sharing a very special creation a 3-layered Steampunk tag
I made for one of my beautiful best friend Wendy,
 all the way in NSW, Australia.

Now, anyone who knows me knows my heart belongs to Shabby Chic.
Soft florals, lace, delicate details… that’s my comfort zone.

 But Wendy absolutely loves mixed media, and shabby chic isn’t
 really her preferred style of creating.

So, this tag was a little bit of a challenge for me as I was
stepping outside of my usual palette and textures.

Instead of my soft and romantic approach,
I found myself leaning into a more Victorian-inspired feel
with rich tones, layered textures, metallic touches,
gears, depth and detail.

I suppose I was creating more from a Victorian mindset rather
than overthinking “mixed media” as a style.
And you know what?
I even surprised myself!

Most importantly… Wendy absolutely loved it.

And truly, that’s all that matters.

Creating something with love for someone you treasure makes
every challenge worthwhile.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog.
I truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Wishing you a creative and wonderful day and don’t forget
to keep unlocking the Artist within you.

Scrapping Away With My Grandson...!

As most of you know, my forte has always been creating and teaching 

cardmaking, album design, and anything “off the page”,
especially when it involves resin clay, rice papers,
and a touch of Shabby Chic early Victorian elegance.
romantic, layered style has truly become
my signature over the years.

But recently, I felt a little tug on my heart…!
a quiet calling to return to scrapbooking for a while.

Cardmaking and album creating are simply what I do best.
 they come naturally to me. Scrapbooking, however,
is a different canvas altogether.

A 12x12 layout is not just a larger card.
 it’s a story that needs space to breathe.

 And I’ll be honest, it took me a little while to adjust.

For weeks I’ve been hiding away in my craft room,
designing layouts, reminding myself that I wasn’t making a card,
I was building elements across a full page.

We all have our weaknesses and our strengths.

Sometimes we just need to gently push through
the uncomfortable stage to rediscover something beautiful.

And I think I’ve finally overcome that little fear.

So, this marks the beginning of a personal journey back into scrapbooking.

Some layouts I create may simply be for me,
not everything will turn into a kit.
Sometimes creating just for the love of it is exactly what the soul needs.

This particular layout features my handsome first-born grandson,
captured in the park behind our home and the very place were
he has grown up playing on the swings.

Creating this page felt incredibly special,
preserving those everyday moments that mean the most.

For this layout, I’ve used a combination of Craft O’Clock papers,
along with treasured finds collected from here,
there, and everywhere.

I also have something exciting in the works..!

I’m currently experimenting with a newly launched product from our distributor
 that allows you to create your own chipboard using your personal dies.

Imagine being able to cut your own chipboard elements and finish
your projects with a unique touch that is truly yours!

The product will be available on my website next week,
 and I’ll be announcing its arrival across all my media platforms.

Cardmaking Kit - Shabby Chic Christmas...!

Step into the world of Shabby Chic,

where my heart truly comes alive.
There is something so magical about working with elegant papers,
layering my treasured laces, flowing ribbons, handcrafted flowers
and beautiful embellishments.
When I step into my studio and begin creating,
I am completely in my glory.
Every detail is chosen with love, and every layer tells a story.
This very special kit will be launching at the biggening
of July 2026 on my website.
https://www.bellarosecreativestudio.com.au/kits-kits-kits

I will be preparing only 26 kits,
 as I can no longer source these stunning papers.
Once they are gone, they are truly gone.
As always with my kits, you will have leftover papers and
embellishments so you can continue creating additional cards
 and tags beyond the main project.

I love knowing that your creativity doesn’t stop
 when the kit is completed.
Please stay tuned to the website in July,
if you would love to secure one.

Unfortunately, I won’t be putting aside names,

as I want this release to be fair for everyone.

                                                     Welcome, my beautiful Creative Bellas,
                                Today I am beyond excited to unveil something truly special..!

This collection was created from the heart.

Every paper, every embellishment, every delicate detail has been thoughtfully
chosen to reflect elegance, romance, and timeless beauty.
Soft florals, graceful tones, and layered textures come together to create
cards & tags that feel luxurious and meaningful.

The magic of this kit isn’t just in the stunning finished cards
it’s in the abundance.

After you’ve created the featured designs, you will still have plenty
 of beautiful papers left to continue creating.
That means more cards, more tags,
 more layers, more embellishing 
 and more opportunities to make something uniquely yours.

I always ensure our kits are generous, because
 creativity should never feel limited.

 embellishment touches, this collection allows you to

Cardmaking Kit - BellaRose Spring Fairy...!

What Makes Our BellaRose Card Kits Special..!

One of the best parts of our Cardmaking Kits is abundance.

You don’t just create the featured cards, you’ll have enough
of the carefully selected papers
left over to design even more cards or beautiful coordinating tags.

I always make sure you receive generous quantities so your creativity
can continue flowing beyond the original project.

The enriched collection of papers I’ve chosen for this kit
was simply a joy to create with.

Every pattern, texture, and tone was thoughtfully selected
to work harmoniously together.

And of course… the magic truly happens when you add the
BellaRose embellishment collections. 

Those special touches of delicate trims, florals, chipboard, and
embellishments, elevate each card into something extraordinary.
