Bellarific Friday with Uptown Girls Alexis and Serena!

Hello my crafting peeps!

This week's Friday challenge was for us Bella Babes to use a stamp from the latest release (with a Galentine/Valentine theme). I decided to use Uptown Girls Alexis and Serena... 

I coloured the Uptownies with copics and a white gel pen and fussy cut out. I then created the window scene by die-cutting the window frame using metallic cardstock, skyscrapers using a die and a blended Distress Oxide skyline. I then assembled the window scene and adhered to the card base, I then adhered the Uptownies using 3d foam pads. I then stamped out a sentiment from the Best Friends Sentiment Set and cut out using a banner die.

Bellarific Friday with Curvy Girl Can Buy Herself Flowers!

Helloooooo!

Today's Bellarific Friday theme was inspiration from another DT member with a Galentine/Valentine theme. I chose to use the gorgeous Curvy Girl Can Buy Herself Flowers...

I was inspired by Gingerbella's amazing card here. I stamped and coloured Curvy Girl and paper pieced her dress and fussy cut her out. I then layered up these gorgeous papers to do a layout similar to Ginger's. I then adhered Curvy to the bottom half of the card and chopped off her legs! I don't do this very often and I love the look of it so I think it's something I will try again. I then die cut a large sentiment [now retired] and paired it with a sentiment from the Best Friends Sentiment Set.

Stay crafty my friends! x

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Tiny Townie Wonderland Playing Card Guard!

Hello! This week's theme over at Bellarific Friday is using an older stamp with a Valentine/Galentine theme.

I chose to use Tiny Townie Wonderland Playing Card Guard... 

I coloured our cute guard with copics and added some white pencil highlights and then fussy cut out. I then created a layered background panel with red, black and white card. I then used a die to cut some playing cards out- I decided to follow the ace that he is and then created a king and queen for obvious reasons! I assembled them and adhered them to the background. I then raised the guard up on 3d foam pads and stamped out a sentiment from the Love Sentiment Set and cut in half and then also put on 3d foam pads. Finally, I added a couple of scattered hearts.
