Stamping Bella Oddballs Oz Dorothy and Toto

Hi Lovelies..

Today I'm sharing another card from the new release at Stamping Bella..  this Oddball is from the Oz set..  it's Dorothy and Toto.  Those red shoes are just about to be made use of!

I coloured and fussy cut the image, then stencilled a circle for the background.  I stamped through the stencil with a twinkle background for the magic that's going to happen as she clicks her heels together..

Stamping Bella Wedding Trio Girl

Hi Peeps...

It's Bellarific Friday - and as it's the fourth Friday of the month - we highlight images from the current release.  I chose to use the gorgeous girlie from the Wedding Trio for my card - with lots of pink!

I coloured and fussy cut her - then I added lots of glitter.  I then used a 3D embossing folder on pink cardstock - sanding the raised parts with emery board - which lightens those parts.  I adhered that to the card, then added a sentiment from the Celebrate and Congratulate sentiment set.

Card Info:

Lawn Fawn Bee Mine x 2

Hi Lovelies...

Well, it's another pair of bee cards from me today...  this time using the Lawn Fawn Bee Mine little stamp set.

I coloured up the images, then added a little sentiment that I'd created on the PC - as the sentiment in the set is obviously 'bee mine'.. and is more for a romantic card.  I just wanted to be able to send these to people to make them smile - sending them a little bit of love.

My second card uses the flowers in the set - and for this one I decided on pink.

Images - Lawn Fawn Bee Happy

Sentiments - done on PC

Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Collecting Crystals

Hi Peeps...

Well after all the excitement of the new release yesterday, we're back today with our Bellarific Friday cards!  As it's the second week of the month, we are using images that aren't from the current release - so I chose to use this gorgeous Curvy Girl Collecting Crystals.

I coloured the image with Copics...  then stamped a little sentiment.  Then I used a border die to give the edges a little interest.  I chose some pretty patterned paper for the base, and used 3D foam tape to adhere the coloured panel.

Hi there...

Today it's the second day of SNEAK PEEKS of the fabulous new release from Stamping Bella - available from Thursday 13 April!

For my first card, I've used the Mini Oddball Cotton Candy and Pug.  Again, I coloured and fussy cut her before creating a cloudy background for her to be adhered to.  I diecut a smaller square and used a cloud stencil, before using Prismacolor Pencils for the grass. I used 3D foam pads to adhere the image. Then I added the diecut square to a larger piece of pink gingham paper.

Now I have some gorgeous Fairytale characters!  This first one is the Fairytale Princess...  I coloured her and fussy cut her, before creating a stencilled background for her to adhere to.  I stamped a sentiment from the Fairytale Sentiment Set which I thought was apt.... then gave her lots of glitter (which is hard to see in the photograph), on her veil and overskirt.
