Flowery Gnome - Take 2

Hi Lovelies..

It's Bellarific Friday time again... and this week we're celebrating using images from the brand new release! I chose to use the Flowery Gnome as he's one of my favourite of all the gnomes... but shhhhhhhhh don't tell the others - or there'll be a gnome riot on my hands!

I wanted to use strong colours so chose peaches and pinks - to tone with his red hat of course.

Hi Lovelies...

Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend.  As it was so lovely and sunny here in the UK, we spent quite a lot of time gardening..  and are now feeling the after effects!  Oh... the aches and pains!!

But I've also been colouring up these little ducks from MFT.. they are sooooo cute!  I decided to fussy cut them and create a little scene, with a background behind the circle die cut.

I did smile when I was colouring these little ducks.... my nickname a few years back was 'Ducky' - as I had a house full of stuffed duck soft toys!  I think one or two are still around somewhere... I should dig them out!

Spring Greetings...

Hi Lovelies..

I'm sharing a card today that I made using a fabulous Pretty Pink Posh Stamp and Die..  perfect for this time of year too...

I've got to admit, even though I love fussy cutting, this one would have taken me hours so I weakened and bought the die!

There are some gorgeous spring flowers in this image - including tulips and daffodils, and lots of greenery too..  I coloured it all first, then die cut and adhered to my card with foam pads - after stamping the greeting on the card in the centre.

Card Info:

Image, Sentiment and Die - Pretty Pink Posh Spring Wreath

Other Dies - MFT Border, MFT Stitched Rectangle

Paper - scrap from stash

Colouring - Copics

RV63/55, R81/83/85, Y17/38 YG17/23

Glossy Accents

Gem

I do love how it turned out.... it looks clean and fresh and very spring-like.  Hope you like it too.

Big hugs

New Beginnings, New Memories...

 

Hi Lovelies...

Yes.... it's Bellarific Friday again at Stamping Bella - and today we're highlighting images that aren't from the current release.  I had a card to make for my daughter's house move...  so I chose to use this Tiny Townies Fairy House as it's so sweet!

I went for a matt and layered style as I was then able to add the sentiment easily - the house leans to the right so it gave room on the left!

Card Info:

Image and Sentiment - Stamping Bella Tiny Townies Fairy House

Die - MFT Double Stitched Rectangle

Colouring - Copics

So what did you think of the wonderful new release???  There are SOOOO MANY brilliant images and gorgeous rubbah in this one - we're absolutely spoiled for choice!

Don't forget to pop over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see more inspiration from the Babes... and then also to the Sistahood Facebook Page to share your Stamping Bella creations and join the the fun.

More Stamping Bella goodness...

 

Hi Again...

Today I'm back with more of the goodies from the brand new Stamping Bella release.....  these Tiny Townies are amazing!!

My first card uses Tiny Townies Playing Hopscotch..  I LOVE the sentiment that goes with this adorable image!! 

And my second card uses Tiny Townies Playing Jacks.....  which is something I remember vividly doing..  it was one of my favourite games!  I could bounce the ball and pick up all 10 jacks in one go....  just call me Champion!!

I decided to use lots of bright colours on these cards so that they were fun.  I did the backgrounds with Distress Inks and a cloud stencil.

I don't know about you, but I think that this release has GOT TO BE one of the very best I've ever seen!!!  So much gorgeous rubbah - my only problem is where I'm going to store it in my ever full craft room!

Big Big Hugs...

Yayy... the Stamping Bella New Release is HERE!

Hi Lovelies....

YAYYYY!!! After all the teasers over the weekend, it's now time for the AWESOME NEW RELEASE at Stamping Bella!!  Believe me..... you have never seen such a fabulous lot of amazingness!!  Hope you're sitting comfortably...  this is a long post!

I'm starting off with a gorgeous Curvy Girl - this is Curvy Girl Eats Cake...  isn't she just fabulous???  

My next card uses the gorgeous Flowery Gnome....  and as I'm seeing lots of primroses around lately, I decided to use lots of yellow - unusual for me but I loved it!  

And now another Gnome make...  this is very aptly named Gnome on an Egg..  and I decided to create a shaker card for the egg to sit on...  using another unusual colour for me..  but another I was happy with as it has eggy tones!

 There are matching cut-it-out dies available for all of these images if you'd like them. 

Don't forget to pop over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see what the lovely Babes have come up with highlighting this new release...

I'll be back tomorrow with more cards to show you using fabulous new Tiny Townies!

Clearly Besotted Floral Spray

 

Hey Peeps...

I've been playing with some of my relatively new stash...  and this Clearly Besotted Floral Spray clear stamp set has been waiting patiently to be used.  Of course, I reached for my pinks for these beautiful flowers..  I LOVE pink roses!

I stamped and fussy cut the whole spray - I don't have the die set because to be quite honest - it's a little too expensive for me and anyways, I enjoy fussy cutting - it's therapeutic!

Then I used the a border die to create the white part of my card, overlapping some pink stripey paper.  I adhered the spray to the white part of the card so it gives the impression of the lower half being more 3D than the top.

Card Info:

Image - Clearly Besotted Floral Spray Stamp Set

Sentiment - Paper Smooches

Die - MFT Stitched Scalloped Borders Set 2

Paper - Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow

Colouring - Copics

Roses - R81/83/85/89

I was really thrilled how my card turned out - hope you like it too.
