Teasers - Littles Snowfight

Another day of teasers and today my card is using the new "Littles Snowfight".  I love anything to do with snowmen so this was the perfect image for me to colour :)

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The sentiment is one of new ones from Holiday Sentiments coming out with this new release - there are 13 sentiments - so this is a must have for all your holiday cards.

Fall Release Teaser - Day 5

It's DAY 5 of the Fall release and I have two more new images to share with you.  Today we are showing one of my fav new lines, the Squidgies.  Let me introduce Squidgy Witchy Trick or Treater!  I stamped both card images with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured them with copics.

For the Witchy card, I made the background with some reinkers and then splattered some black ink over top.  I added the little witch on top of a fishtail flag that I stamped with one of the new sentiments from the Fall Sentiments set.  It's a great set with lots of Fall and Halloween sentiments.  I added a few clear enamel dots and a spritz of shimmer to the background too.

My second card features Squidgy Dino Trick or Treater.  So adorable!  The "BOO" that is stamped on the middle panel is from Tiny Townie Willow the Witch.

You can check out the rest of the teasers for today on Blogabella and leave a comment there for a chance to win!  Remember all the images come with coordinating dies and the release day is Monday September 4th.  There are still teasers for Saturday and Sunday!

Fall Release Teaser - Day 4

It's DAY 4 of the new Fall release and today I have two more Halloween cards to share with you, all from the Littles collection.  All the images will have coordinating dies.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured them with copics. 

Introducing the super cute and not scary at all......Littles Mummy and the Tombstone.

The background for this was done with some new Distress Oxide inks and a stencil.  

My next card features Littles Mummy, Frankie and Ghosty, but on my card Ghosty has disappeared - LOL - and just Frankie and Mummy are shown!

The 'boo' is made from an alphabet die that I cut three times and stacked and then I added some enamel dots around the images.  I just LOVE Frankie!!  These "Littles" are so cute and so fast to colour up!!

I have another two more teaser cards tomorrow, so be sure to check back here then.  You can check out the rest of the teasers for today on Blogabella and leave a comment there for a chance to win!  Remember the release day is September 4th.

Fall Release Teaser - Day 3!

It's DAY 3 of the Fall release from Stampingbella and today my card features a new image from the Littles collection....introducing  "Little Witches"....and her sweet little cat.  All the new images will have coordinating dies to cut them out.

I made a shaker card filled with lots of sparkly Halloween coloured sequins.  Here's a photo of it lying flat.  I added some Diamond Dust along with the sequins which is hard to see in the photo but so cool in real life :)

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured them with copics.

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.

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!

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!

Teaser alert - Hoppy Easter x 2

It's day 2 of the teasers and I have TWO cards for you today!  

My first card features those crazy but cute chicks!  This one is called The Good Egg Chick.  

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  As always Emily comes up with the perfect sentiments to go with her images.  Here's the inside of my card with the sentiment included.

My second card introduces another member to the Wobble family.  Meet Hoppy Easter Bunny Wobble.  

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

And remember, this release will have corresponding Cut It Out dies for all the images.

Be sure to check out the blog for more teasers today and tomorrow.  I'll be back on Tuesday with another card for you.  And then....the release on Thursday!

My card today features a new gorgeous Tiny Townie Garden Girl Waterlily!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured her with copics.  I used one of the sentiments from Garden Girl Flower Sentiments and added some sequins to finish the card off.  This image will have a corresponding Cut It Out die available.

RELEASE day!!!

Whooohoooo, finally, it's time see and order (yay) all the images that Emily has been teasing us with the last week.  You can see all the images by clicking here.  I'm showing another card I made with the newly released Tiny Townie Garden Girl Rose. 

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics. The paper is Doodlebugdesign "Sunkissed".  I used my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on the image and boy, does it sparkle.  I spritzed the blue background with Shimmer Mist and actually was able to catch a bit of it in this picture.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the image Uptown Girl Serena Has A Sign.  I stamped it on vellum and wrapped it around the card.  I added two enamel dots to anchor it.

My shopping list is quite long....I'm off to shop now :)

Teaser alert - Tiny Townie Garden Girl Rose

It's another day of teasers.....today I'm showing off Tiny Townie Garden Girl Rose.  Now, I know she's a rose, but I wanted to show that she doesn't always have to be red :)

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics. The sentiment is a new one from Garden Girl Sentiments.  This set has so many wonderful sentiments that you can use with a multitude of cards - so versatile.

I sprayed the lilac cardstock with Shimmer mist and used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen on her skirt? rose? :)  It is so lovely and sparkly in real life - I tried to get a good picture of the sparkle and shimmer here.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is MME Lost and Found.  I added lots of sparkle from my Spectrum Noir pen and added some frilly ribbon and a doily to finish it off.

It's time for another teaser using The Bee and the Heart image.

I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is from my scrap pile.  I added some Wink of Stella to the wings and then made it into a shaker card.  I cut out the centre of the heart and filled it with tiny sequins, stars and beads.  I stamped the sentiment that comes with it on the front.
