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.

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; Multiliners; Gel pen; Dies (MFT); Enamel dots (Doodlebug); Glimmer spray

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

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; White gel pen; Papers (Echo Park); Distress Oxides; Stencils (MFT)

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Beach Bundle Girl In A Pinch!

Hello! Today's Bella theme was to use a mermaid/beach theme so I decided to use the very cute Beach Bundle Girl In A Pinch...

 

I coloured Bundle with copics and added some white gel pen and then fussy cut her out. I then die cut an aperture in some white cardstock to fit the card front and then blended a sunset background behind using Distress Oxides. I then coloured the wave with copics and white gel pen. I also die cut part of the sun using some bright yellow cardstock. Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Beach Vibes Sentiment Set and added a strip of bright stripey paper.

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Spring Bundle Girl Peekers!

Hello peeps!

This week over at Stamping Bella we had to make something using the new release. I absolutely adore the Spring Bundle Girl Peekers and thought this lil one would actually also be perfect for a Christmas card...



I coloured Bundle with copics and paper pieced her hat and top and then fussy cut out. I then cut and arranged the papers in a pleasing arrangement. I die cut some trees and a snowflake border from glitter cardstock and the circle sentiment from plain white cardstock. I then assembled all the elements.

Have a great weekend! See you next week! x

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie!

Hellooooooo! So this week's Bella babes theme was to use the inspiration/colour photo on the blog. I decided to use Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie...

 


I coloured Beach Bundle with copics and paper pieced her and the duck with papers to match the inspiration photo. I then fussy cut them out and stuck a gorgeous hydrangea embellishment on her swimming hat. I then created a beach background (by using sea colours that matched the photo) and a stencil and Distress Oxides. I added some white gel pen and copic multiliner to give some depth to the sand on the beach. Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Summer Sentiment Set. So cute! I love these Summer Bundles as much as I love the cosy Winter ones!!

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; White gel pen; Stencils (Hero Arts); Distress Oxides; Papers (PTI, Simple Stories); Copic multiliner.

Stamping Bella- Oddball Jane Austen!

Hello! Today I'm sharing Oddball Jane Austen for this week's Bellarific Friday...

 


I stamped out Jane and coloured her with copics and paper pieced her outfit. Such a fun image to colour! I then arranged the DPs in a pleasing layout and adhered them to the card base. I then used some mixed media stamps to stamp vintage ink onto the papers. I stamped out one of the accompanying sentiments and adhered the sentiment and then added Jane on top using 3d foam pads.

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella, MFT); Copics; Papers (MME)
