Bellariffic Friday - Shaker card or spinner card AND RELEASE DAY!!

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week the challenge was to make a shaker or a spinner card.  It was an easy choice for me because I LOVE shaker cards!

I stamped the image, The Bunny Wobble and the Peony, with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I used the matching die to cut it out and popped it up in the corner of my shaker.  The shaker was made with a scallop die and I added lots of different colours and sizes of sequins and beads.  I love that some of the stars stuck to the front on their own - LOL!  It's hard to take a good picture of a shaker card because everything falls to the bottom but here's a picture of the card laying flat showing more of the sequins. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Free Form...so anything you like!

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday to be featured on Blogabella and for a chance to win $25 in Bella Bucks.  Click here for all the details!

And don't forget ALL the new images are available today!

Summer Release Teaser - Day 5!

It's Day 5 of the summer release teasers and I have another card I made using the new "Cave Couple".  I love the sweetness of this image, how she's standing on tippy toes to smell the flower and her hair with the bone in is just too cute.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I had fun colouring this and trying some black hair again. 

Tomorrow is a big day - it's Bellariffic Friday AND RELEASE DAY!  Be sure to check the Stamping Bella blog, and leave a comment for a chance to win $25 in Bella Bucks.

Summer Release Teaser - Day 3 and 3 teasers!

OMGosh, I hope you've been checking out the Stamping Bella blog each day this week for teasers!  The images will be available on Friday.  

Today I have not 1, not 2, but 3 (!) new teasers for you.  Let's dive right in.

Introducing the Tiny Townie Fairy Garden line.  I have two images from this new line to show you.  The first is the sweet Tiny Townie Fairy Garden Fairy.   All the images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured with copics. 

She comes with the sweetest sentiment.  I stamped the first bit on the front of the card and the rest on the inside.

For my next card I used the new Tiny Townie Fairy Garden Sign image and created a little magical scene.  I sponged some clouds in the sky, added lots of fairy dust (glitter) and sequins.  I popped up the Tiny Townie Fairy Garden Fairy and one of a set of two little toadstools.

And last but not least, let me introduce another fab Uptown Girl....Melinda!  I love her!

The sentiment comes with Melinda.  I cut one part of it for the front and the rest on the inside.  I don't know how Emily comes up with the perfect sentiments for each of her images!

Be sure to leave a comment on the Stamping Bella blog each day for a chance to win $25 gift certificate!  See you back here Thursday for another teaser from me!

Bellariffic Friday - Inspiration Challenge #6

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we had this lovely photo as our inspiration.  

I haven't coloured up any of the Ramona line lately and seeing as she's sitting on top of a cake, it seems the perfect image.

I stamped Ramona Loves Cake with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics. I added a few sequins and some Wink of Stella to the dots on the icing.  Ramona images always make me smile :)

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Shaker card or Spinner card.  I love the look of shaker cards so that's what I'll be doing.

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday to be featured on Blogabella and for a chance to win $25 in Bella Bucks.  Click here for all the details!

Feel Better Soon

Here's a card I made using the sweet Stuffy Stuffie - such a perfect name!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  There is a sentiment that comes with the image but I used the sentiment from Uptown Girl Sofia the Sickie instead.

I sure hope this cheers up my Auntie!

Congratulations on your engagement

Here's an engagement card I made for a friend of mine to give to a friend of mine - LOL!

I stamped the image, Valerie in Love, with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics. 

I added a lace doiley behind the image and sponged some clouds in the sky.  The balloons have some Wink of Stella on the hearts for some sparkle.  

I wish them a wonderful life together filled with love, laughter and friends!

Bellariffic Friday - Wedding/Anniversary/Love

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week the challenge was to make a card with the theme Wedding/Anniversary/Love.  I used the stamp of the month again, Ellie Loves Phant, which is on sale 20% off for the month of June.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  If the layout looks familiar, it's Mojobella Sketch 25 from January 13, 2017.  These sketches are great to keep and 're-use'!

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image onto a little banner tied with some baker's twine.

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Inspiration Challenge 6.  Take anything that inspires you from this photo.

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday to be featured on Blogabella and for a chance to win $25 in Bella Bucks.  Click here for all the details!

Bellariffic Friday - Mojobella Sketch 30

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we had Mojobella Sketch 30 to work with.

I inked up Tiny Townie Garden Girl Carnation with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured her with copics. I used the colour map to see where my shading should go.  The colour maps that you can download with your purchase are invaluable to me!

I used the coordinating die to cut her out and popped her up for some dimension.  The sentiment is just part of the one that comes with ThinkingofyouABELLA 2.0 for the little banner on the front and added a red rhinestone.

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Wedding/Anniversary/Love.

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday to be featured on Blogabella and for a chance to win $25 in Bella Bucks.  Click here for all the details!

Bellariffic Friday - Free Form

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week the challenge was Free Form.  It's also the first Friday of the month so that means another image on sale (20% off) for the whole month.  This month we are featuring Ellie loves Phant from the Stuffies line.  

I copied yet another layout from Inge Groot!  The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured with copics.  The stamp comes with the sentiment "I love you" but am using this as an engagment card for some friends, so didn't use the sentiment. 

Here's a close up of the cuteness!
