Yes... More Stamping Bella Sneak Peeks!

Hey Lovelies...

It's Day 3 of the awesome sneak peeks from Stamping Bella - tomorrow is RELEASE DAY!

    For my first card, I've used the gorgeous Bundle Girls Winter Friends...  they are such a cute pair!  I created a Distress Ink blended background which I splattered with water to create the falling snow.  I fussy cut the girls so I could adhere with foam pads.

Then for my next card, I used Glenda Loves Gifts..  with the sentiment that comes along with her.  I fussy cut her of course, and just added a strip of designer paper for her to lay on!

I used my white gel pen to give her dress a simple pattern.

And lastly, I've used Sloth Wreath - he looks sooooo cute clinging on to the wreath and having a little laze around!  I can never understand why they don't fall down once they're asleep in that position!

Hope you like my makes today and that you'll have your shopping list ready for tomorrow..... I can't wait to buy!  

Pop on over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see more inspiration from the Baberoonies...  and to check out ALL the fabulous images in this release!!!

More Sneak Peeks!!

Hi Lovelies...

OK, it's Day 2 of the Stamping Bella Sneak Peeks!!  And I have lots to show you... starting with Uptown Girl Katrina's Christmas Kisses...  isn't she gorgeous???  

I popped her in a glitter card frame with red card surround.... no fussy cutting on this one.

Next, it's Uptown Girl Wren and her Wreath..  with LOTS of fussy cutting - but I love doing that..  it's mindfulness at it's very best.

I diecut a loopy panel (Altenew Tangled Loops Die) to create a shaker card for her to be adhered to..  with lots of crystal sequins!

And lastly today, this is Mochi Ornament Girl... I do wish I could capture the glitter on the ornaments..  but you'll have to use your imagination!  I created a snowy night sky for behind her with Distress Inks, then popped her on a slimline card - which I created using my usual rectangle dies - elongated!

Check out the Stamping Bella Blog today to see more amazing cards and images.... it's soooo exciting, and I promise you, you'll want them all!!!

Curvy Girl Collecting Crystals

Hi Lovely Bloggers..

It's Bellarific Friday which I love, because it gives me an excuse (not that I need one), to colour up a fabulous Stamping Bella image..  this time from the current release... I chose to use this gorgeous Curvy Girl Collecting Crystals.  

My daughter used to be a crystal collector - there are still lots left in her old room.  I do love the rose quartz and often go hold it when I need a little 'love' - as it's the stone of universal love - it's supposed to purify and open the heart.  

I coloured and fussy cut the image - then dry embossed her a little to give a roundness to the dress.

Now I've been struggling to get envelopes here in the UK to fit my 5.5 x 4.25 inch cards...  so I've treated myself to an envelope score board so I can make my own.  Of course, as there's no sticky on the ones I create, I have to use a sticker..  so I stamped, coloured and diecut this fabulous Uptown Girl Seal of Approval - she looks just perfect on the flap, don't ya think?!

Hope you like my makes today..  don't forget to pop over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see more inspiration from the lovely Baberoonies..  they never fail to amaze me with their wonderful makes!

Little Dancer

Hi Lovely Bloggers..

Today I have a card using one of the gorgeous September images from Wendy at All Dressed Up Digital Stamps.  This is Little Dancer - she was so lovely to colour, and would be perfect for any little would-be dancers that you know.

I coloured her with Copics, then created a panel with blended Distress Inks, finishing with Picket Fence through a circle stencil to give a bokeh effect.  I thought this was perfect for this image - it's like the stage lights!  I finished the panel off with some tiny silver stars and a silver mirri strip before adhering the the card.

Altenew Floral In 'n' Out Border Die

Hi Lovelies...

Today my cards were really quick and easy..  I used the fabulous Floral In 'n' Out Border Die from Altenew to create the white side of the card, then on the first, I used a Distress Oxide blended panel behind.

On the second card, I just used a panel of pink card behind - and love it just as much.  I finished off both with some gems, and a little sentiment from The Stamp Market Tons of Type sentiment set.  I stamped them in Versamark, before heat embossing with gold embossing powder, then adhering with foam pads.

Hope you like..  please say hi if you do as I'm wondering whether to continue blogging - or whether to just use Instagram and Facebook as blogging seems to be losing it's interest from people.

A Rainbow of Happy!

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Remember the rainbow backgrounds I created?  Well I've been playing with another!  This time, I used it with the Simon Says Stamp Chunky Happy die (designed by Cathy Zielske) - and I loved how it turned out!  I diecut three to give it some depth and weight - then adhered to my rectangular card panel, which in turn is backed by red card.  

I added a couple of gems, then heat embossed the word birthday (from another SSS set) in gold on black card.. and it was done!  Simple, but effective I think and I'm really into rainbows as the moment!

Hope you like..

Fairy Butterfly Wings

Hi Lovelies...

It's new release time at All Dressed Up Digital Stamps - and for my card, I used the gorgeous Fairy Butterfly Wings.  Of course, she deserved lots of pink and glitter... it's such a shame I wasn't able to capture the sparkle on the photo... but I promise it's there!

I coloured and fussy cut the image first.  Then I created a background by using Distress Inks through a circle stencil..  then splattering with water... and THEN stamping and heat embossing with sparkly embossing powder!

Rainbows, Unicorns and Glitter

Hi Lovelies...

Remember the rainbow background I made recently for behind the Paper Hug die?  Well I made a few (cos I love rainbows so much).. and here's how I used another of them!

I diecut an MFT double stitched rectangle, then stamped the sentiment at the top.  I added a few stars cut from white glitter card and tinted with Copics... and some tiny gems too.  Then I coloured and fussy cut the little unicorn to finish.  I used fun foam to back the rectangle and give it a lift away from the background.. and it was done!

Hope you like my make today.. and that you'll say hi!

Just a Note....

Hi Lovelies...

I made this card last week for a good friend who's had an op...  I just wanted to let her know I was thinking of her, so not really a get well soon, but more as it says, just a note!

I used the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Day Stamp Set, and did a little bit of smooshing with Distress Inks to create the lower half of the card - I do love the effect it gives.  I also sprayed it with Perfect Pearls to give a sparkly effect.
