Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Spec-Tacular Stars and Stripes!

Hello! It's Bellarific Friday and happy 4th July to all our crafting lovelies in the US...

 

Today we had a 4th July celebration over at Stamping Bella! I decided to use Spec-Tacular Stars and Stripes! I coloured up with copics and added white gel pen highlights and silver gel pen on the stars. I cut out the image using Nesties, allowing the balloon to go over the edge. I then used some DPs to create the red/white stripes and used a teeny strip of stars paper under the accompanying sentiment. Finally I added some die-cut stars.

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Beach Bundle Girl Mermaid's Gift and Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie!

Hello my sweet summer loving friends!

It's Friday so you know that means Bellarific Friday- yay! This week we had to showcase a stamp from the latest release using another Bella babe's as inspiration- I chose our Elaine. 

I decided to use the new Beach Bundle Girl Mermaid's Gift and Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie... 

I stamped out Beach Bundle with the floatie and the Bundle (minus mermaid) from the Beach Bundle Mermaid's Gift set. I coloured both with copics and paper pieced some elements. I then masked them out and created a sea and sky background using a stencil and Distress Oxides. I then adhered the background onto the front of the card blank and then die cut a square aperture into a blank piece of card, stamped the sentiment from the Beach Vibes Sentiment Set and adhered to the front of the card so that the image was centred through the aperture. Finally I added a matching strip of DP.

We've got some fun headed your way this Friday with our latest digital stamp release- the Summer Sun Collection!! 21 of our fun images/sets, brought back to you in digital stamp form.

Everything will be live on the website by 0700 EDT on Friday 26th June.

Stamping Bella- Summer Bundle Girl With A Beachball & Puppy!

 Happy Friday peeps!

Today's card is very apt for the scorching weather we're having in the UK! Yay!

This week's Bellarific challenge was to use this photo inspiration. I decided to use the adorable Summer Bundle Girl With A Beachball & Puppy (minus puppy!)

I coloured Bundle with copics, paper pieced her swimmie and hat and added some white gel pen before fussy cutting. I then created a swimming pool background using Distress Oxides and a stencil before cutting out with a postal die set. I used some red card and sunny paper for the background and then adhered the swimming pool panel. Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Summer Sentiment Set and die cut an oversized "summer" sentiment and popped up Bundle on 3d foam pads.

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Tiny Townie Ally Loves Ice Cream!

Hello! We're carrying on with our Summer themes during Bellarific Friday and today I'm sharing Tiny Townie Ally Loves Ice Cream...

 

I coloured Ally with copics, paper pieced her top and fussy cut out. I then created the background using some a couple of DPs. I then created a panel to showcase Ally by using a couple of strips of DP and then die cut some clouds and cut a sun out of the sun paper. Finally I stamped out two sentiments from the Summer Sentiments set, one of which I stamped in coloured ink. So cute!

Stamping Bella MINI RELEASE sneak peeks!!

Hello hello!!!

Wow have we got some extra special Stamping Bella sneak peeks to share today before the release TOMORROW!

First up is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and special images Stamping Bella have ever produced....it's Uptown Girl Queen Mermaid...

 

I literally GASPED when I saw her! OMG!! She was SUCH a delight to colour. I normally go for blues for mermaids but I wanted to try something different today so chose oranges and lilacs. I think it works!

I coloured mermaid with copics and fussy cut her out. I made a background using a sheet of DP and then die cut a border die in white cardstock and coloured that with my copics. I then added some pearls to her and stamped out a sentiment from the Mermazing Sentiment Set and fussy cut round it. I raised up Mermaid Queen and the sentiment on foam pads.

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; White gel pen; Copic glitter pens; Copic multiliners; Pearls; Paper (Craft Consortium); Die (Waffle Flower)

Next up is Beach Bundle Girls Mermaid's Gift...

They're SOOOOO cute! The hat and the belly, the shells in her hair....! I coloured the Bundles with copics adding in some sea in front of them both and paper pieced the swimming costume and swim hat. I then fussy cut them both out but leaving the sea border in front of them. I then created a stencilled sea and sky using Distress Oxides and added a strip of DP. Finally I stamped out the accompanying sentiment and fussy cut and raised up on 3d foam pads.

Now we have a Spec-tacular stamp, it's Spec-Tacular Seagull and Fries...

I coloured him with copics and fussy cut out leaving some background for him to sit on. I then created my seaside scene by using some DP and die-cutting some clouds. I assembled all the elements together and then stamped out the accompanying sentiment. Ta da !

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; Papers (Pink & Main); Dies (MFT); White gel pen

And last of all we have a new background stamp -Underwater Shipwreck Backdrop...

I've used this gorgeous underwater background paired with Tiny Townie Mermaid Isla. I coloured both with copics and added some depth by using copic multiliners and white gel pen. I then fussy cut Isla and die cut the backdrop into a panel. I added some glimmer spray to add shine and texture and added some enamel dots. Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Mermazing Sentiment Set.

Stamping Bella- Little Cutie Mermaids and Octopus Friends!

Hello, it's Friday already so it's time for some Stamping Bella magic...

 

Our theme this week was mermaids/underwater! I used the oh-so-cute Little Cutie Mermaids & Octopus Friends! I coloured them with copics, added white gel pen and fussy cut out. I then used a stencil and Distress Oxides to create a blended underwater scene. I then splashed some water on it and allowed to dry before added some fine dots to create the sea floor. I then added all the lil characters by raising them up on 3d foam pads apart from the seaweed. I then added 2 strips of DP to add some colour and additional visual interest. Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Mermazing Sentiment Set using coloured ink. And we are done! x
