Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Mini Oddballs Playing In The Sand!

 Helloooooo! My crafting lovelies!!

Today I'm sharing my last Summery card of the year. I'm using the very fun and quirky Mini Oddballs Playing In The Sand..



I coloured the minis with copics and added white gel pen highlights. I then fussy cut them out. I created a square panel with a blended Distress Oxide background. I then stamped over the top using a summer text background stamp. I then adhered the minis to the background panel and adhered a die cut frame on top. Finally I stamped out the accompanying sentiment which I love!

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Bundle Girls In The Sky!

 It's Bellarific Friday!! 

This week's theme was to use an older Stamping Bella stamp, I decided to use Bundle Girls In The Sky...



I coloured the Bundles with copics and paper pieced their clothes and then fussy cut out. I then created a Distress Oxide panel and used a shimmer spray on it. I then cut out a frame die in white cardstock and heat embossed a sentiment from the Star Power Sentiment Set. I then die cut some more clouds using some vellum and placed them beneath the frame to create some depth. I added the Bundles and then die cut some teeny hearts out of gold glitter cardstock. So cute! I love the colours on this!

Stampinò Bella- Bellarific Friday with Oddball Muhammad Ali!

Hello my crafting friends!

Yes it's Friday so it's Bellarific time and today we had a theme of "birthday"...

 


I decided to make a card for my bro-in-law as he is a big boxing fan. I grabbed Oddball Muhammad Ali and coloured him up with copics adding some white pencil highlights. I then fussy cut him out. I then used a die to cut some DP for my card blank. I also cut a strip of stripy paper for the bottom of the front panel. I then stamped out two sentiments- one from the Ali stamp set and then the "happy birthday" from the Celebrate And Congratulate Sentiment Set. I finally arranged all the elements mounting them on 3d foam pads.

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Polar Bear, Penguin And The Star!

 Hello my crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing another Christmas card for Stamping Bella. This week the Bella babes had to follow a sketch with an added twist of a Christmas stamp so I'm using the adorable Polar Bear, Penguin And The Star...

 


I coloured Polar Bear with copics and and then masked out the image so I could do some Distress Oxide blending to create my background. I then added some gel pen snow and cut out using a circle die.
I then created the background using some DPs following a sketch, including cutting out some tabs using a die and using an eyelet setter to add some eyelets. Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Be Merry Sentiment Set and added a die-cut banner sentiment too!

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Bundle Girl With Polar Bear!

Hello!! Happy Friday!!

I can't believe I'm posting a Christmas card in this scorching heat that we're having in the UK!! This week for Bellarific Friday we're making Christmas cards. 

I decided to use Bundle Girl With Polar Bear...


I just LOVE the Bundles, they're SO super cute! Whether they're on Summer cards or Wintery ones like this. Big big heart eyes from me. I used my go-to colours for Bundle and then masked her and the polar bear out so I could blend Distress Oxides over the top and then add some gel pen snow. I then stamped a sentiment from the Be Merry Sentiment Set  and finally added some snowflakes die cut with glitter cardstock.
