Happy Halloween

It's "Carve a Pumpkin Day" which seems appropriate as it's Halloween - LOL!

I stamped the three little squidgy images from Squidgy Pumpkin Trio with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured them with copics.  I foolishly didn't order the coordinating die so had to fussy cut them out.  I added the BOO from Tiny Townie Willow the Witch.  

Have a safe and spooktacular Halloween!

Bellariffic Friday - Inspiration Challenge #5

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

I used the bicycle as my inspiration and stamped one of the newest release images The Squidgy on a Journey.  I am loving this new Squidgy line!  I inked the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured her with copics.    

I attempted another "small" shaker card like Jennifer made here.  I used the coordinating die to cut the image out - love that it gets in all the tight spots.  The cut it outs are so much easier than fussy cutting.  Looks like this little Squidgy is headed on a long journey with all that luggage, and here's a close up of the little shaker "hi".

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 goes.

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!

Pina Colada time

This was me last week - down south, on the beach with my BFF.

I stamped the super cute Tropical Squidgies image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I used the co-ordinating Cut it Out die and popped "us" up onto a beach scene I drew.  The paper is Doodlebug Design "Sunkissed".  Of course, I had to use some glossy accents on our sunglasses :)

On the inside I used the sentiment that comes with the image.

Teaser alert - Big Idea Squidgy

It's Day 4 of teasers and I'm sure you're loving them as much as I am!!  My wish list is growing daily.  Remember, all the images will be available on Thursday March 30.

My card for today is another cute little squidgy.  I love this new line of characters - so cute and squidgy - LOL!  Meet Big Idea Squidgy.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured her with copics.  I added some glossy accents to the light bulb and boy does it shine!

The squidgy line comes with a smaller matching image which I find perfect for the inside and to stamp on the envelope.  Here I've added it to the inside of the card with the matching sentiment.

I can see many uses for this little squidgy - I can add a bunch of balloons to her hand, flowers, anything really.  She's so versatile.  And remember she'll have a corresponding Cut it Out die too.

Be sure to check out the blog for more teasers and only two more sleeps until they're available!

Hugs

I made this for a friend.  Isn't it the perfect image?!  This Squidgie line of images is adorable!!!

I stamped the image, Huggy Squidgies, with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I used the matching Cut it Out die and popped it up on a square and then a circle.  The paper is Simple Stories "Vintage Bliss".  I masked part of the sentiment so I could have some on the front and the rest on the inside.  

And look at that cute "mini" version of the image - perfect for the inside (and the envelope).  I also stamped a few hearts that also come with this image in the corner.  I hope this brings a smile to my friends face.

Post Valentine's Day

Now that Valentine's Day has passed I can show the card that I gave to my BFF.  I used the sweet Huggy Squidgies.  Don't they look like besties?!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I added some dots to the one dress and some glitter to their little shoes.  I used the co-ordinating die to cut them out and popped them up for some dimension.  I added a few little glittery red hearts thanks to my Wink of Stella pen.

On the inside I didn't use the sentiment that comes with this image but one from Uptown Galentine Girls.  I love that you can mix and match StampingBella sentiments!

I'll post the other Valentine cards I made on Saturday - because tomorrow is Bellariffic Friday!

Bellariffic Friday - Mojobella Sketch 26

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we have Mojobella Sketch 26 as our guide.

I used one of the adorable new images from the latest release Chatty Squidgy.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is retired SU.  

On the inside I stamped the sentiment and the smaller image that comes with this set (I also stamped the smaller image on the front of the envelope so it's matching).  I loved this Squidgy so much I made a second card and used the matching cut it out die.  I added a "hello" word die in the corner.  These gals are just so squishy looking - love them!

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 Use a die on your card.

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 for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.
