Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Bundle Girl Skater With Penguins!

 Hello! It's Friday!! Woo hoo!

 It's 28 degrees here in the UK today so it seems a bit odd posting a Christmas In July card but us crafters craft our Christmas cards all year round so I'm loving imaging myself in this snow right now...



The Bella babes had a sketch to follow this week. I chose to use Bundle Girl Skater With Penguins and the Snuggle Weather Sentiment Set. I coloured Bundle with copics and added a paper pieced scarf and die-cut into a square. I then created the sketch using some DPs. I added some lovely glittery die-cut snowflakes and over-stamped the sentiment. I then added the banners.


Here is the sketch we used!


Just a reminder we have a CHRISTMAS IN JULY challenge going on at the moment. Enter your Christmas cards in to win a mystery stamp prize pack!! Exciting! 

Until next week....!

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Butterfly Baby!

Hellooooo!

Today we're sharing stamps from the latest Stamping Bella release and I've decided to use the oh-so-cute Butterfly Baby...


I coloured Baby with copics and added some white gel pen and some white pencil and then fussy cut out. I created a lovely stencilled background using Distress Oxides through a fan and circle stencils. I then adhered Baby using 3d foam pads.

Hello my sweet crafting peeps!

Today I'm sharing the adorable Bundle Girl Beekeeper for this week's Bellarific Friday...

 


I coloured Bundle with copics and added some copic multiliners and white gel pen highlights. I then masked out the image and then stencilled over the top using Distress Oxides and hexagon and big splat stencils. I then added a strip of gingham paper at the bottom of the card.

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday- Curvy Girl Holding Hands!

Hello my crafty friends, it's Friday again already so today I'm sharing my Bellarific Friday card.

This week we had to use a sketch as inspiration (see below), I decided to use Curvy Girl Holding Hands... 


I stamped ink onto Curvy Girl and then wiped away the ink of the little girl. I then coloured her in with copics, added white gel pen and fussy cut. I then arranged DPs to fit the sketch. I then die cut the foliage using cardstock and arranged all the pieces beneath Curvy. I then stamped out a sentiment from the Celebrate and Congratulate Sentiment Set and die cut into a banner and attached with 3d foam pads. Finally I added some enamel dots.

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday- Bundle Girl Loves Strawberries!

 Happy Friday!

This week's Bellarific Friday theme was "oldie but a goodie" using the Summer themes of Fluttering Wings and Summer Blooms (this month's challenge). 

I decided to use the gorgeous Bundle Girl Loves Strawberries! What could be more summery than strawberries and of course the pretty flowers on the strawberry plant?!


I coloured Bundle with copics and added some white gel pen highlights. I paper pieced her dress with this gorgeous flowery paper. I kept the design quite simple as the stamp is HUGE and I wanted it to be the sole focus. I overstamped a sentiment from the
Garden Sentiment Set and then added a couple of strips of DP.

I just LOVE how she's reaching up to the juicy strawberry!

Don't forget to pop along to the blog to check out the rest of the DT designs and also participate in the Fluttering Wings and Summer Blooms Challenge where you can win a surprise stamp pack!

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday- Beach Bundle Girl With A Seagull!

 Hey! It's Bellarific Friday time!

This week our challenge was to use a stamp from the latest release.  I chose to use the very cute Beach Bundle Girl With A Seagull and the new Beach Vibes Sentiment Set.



I coloured up Bundle and seagull with copics and added some white gel pen highlights to Bundle's hat. I then created a beach background by creating some Distress Oxides panels for the sky, sea and beach. I added some white gel pen and copic multiliners to give the sand some light and shade. I splashed water on my sea panel. I then die cut the sentiment and some clouds and a sun. I then die cut a fun frame out of DP. Then I assembled all the pieces and ta da!!
