Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday with Uptownie Greta Loves To Garden!

Hello my crafting lovelies!

Today is Friday so that can only mean one thing-it's Bellarific Friday!!

Today we had to share an older stamp (not from the latest release) with an autumnal/Halloween theme..

 

Part of autumn always make me think of harvest festivals so I thought I'd use Uptownie Greta Loves To Garden with her big harvest haul. I coloured her with copics and did some paper piecing and the fussy cut out. I then created a scene behind her from where she's been picking some of those flowers as well as veg! I die cut the scene using different shades of cardstock and then used some patterned paper to give the impression of concrete walls and the wood for the box. I then assembled all the pieces and raised Greta up on 3d foam pads. Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Garden Sentiment Set.

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; White gel pen; Paper (Simple Stories, MFT); Dies (?); Cardstock (PTI); 

Stamping Bella: Little Cutie Autumn In The Woods!

Hey! Here is today's Bellarific Friday card featuring Little Cutie Autumn In The Woods...

 

I coloured Little Cutie with copics and then cut into a panel to adhere to a card blank. I die cut the forest archway and leaves in cardstock and adhered to the panel. I then stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiment Set, cut out and raised up on 3d foam pads. I then adhered a strip of leafy DP, the archway and some pretty die cut leaves. So cute! Makes me feel all snuggly!

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday- Apple Cider Oddball!

This week the Bellas had a colour inspiration photo to use for Bellarific Friday. I decided to showcase Apple Cider Oddball to match those gorgeous autumnal colours... 

Such a fun autumn card and such a different image to traditional autumnal leafy images- love it!! I coloured Apple Cider Oddball with copics and fussy cut her out. I then created a background using papers inspired by the sketch. I'm finding I'm doing paper layering a bit more at the moment- was definitely my old style so it's nice to revisit a style when you're inspired. I then stamped the sentiment and cut it up so I could arrange each section in a pleasing way. Finally I added Oddball on some 3d foam pads and some big sequins.

Here was our inspiration photo:

So that's me for this week! See you next week for another Bellarific Friday! Don't forget to check out the other DT designs on the blog and comment for your chance to win a voucher!!

Today I am going to be showcasing three of them. Say hello to TEENY TINY TOWNIE HOT CHOCOLATE...

How utterly adorable is she?!! I coloured her with copics and cut her into a panel to fit onto my kraft blank. I then added a strip of DP along the bottom third of the card blank and then cut some banners out. The sentiment is from Tiny Townie Skylar Loves To Skate which I then heat embossed in white. Finally I die-cut some holly leaves and added some sprinkles.

Now meet TEENY TINY TOWNIE ON A YULE LOG....

Oh my, I properly squealed when I saw this stamp!!! Just too much cuteness!!! And such great fun to colour. I coloured with copics and added some highlights with white pencil and some Stickles to look like frosted fruits. I then fussy cut. I cut an aperture in a panel and raised the panel up on 3d foam pads and stuck some DP behind it. Also raised up the image and adhered it over the aperture. White heat embossed the sentiment from Penguin And The Marshmallow. Finally added some raindrops.

And finally we have the bundle of cuteness that is TEENY TINY TOWNIE WITH A PUMPKIN PIE...

I coloured her with copics and paper pieced her little dress and added some white gel pen to the pie tin. I then cut her out on a large panel and adhered her to the two sheets of DP I'd selected.  Sentiment comes with-love the simplicity of it! I then added a series of embellies I had in my Project Life drawer- all so perfect for this adorable stamp.

Hey you! 

How are you? How are your Christmas cards going? Slightly panicking at the lack of mine- I'm definitely behind but I'm hoping to do some more CAS style ones that I can batch make with slight variations on.

Before I get onto Bellarific Friday, I just wanted to let you know I have a wee Kikki K haul to show you over on my Haul Videos page.

Anyway as a break from all the Chrimbo cards, I thought I'd share an Autumnal one with the stunning Tiny Townie Autumn Loves Autumn...

This is one of those images that makes me sigh with its' gorgeous-ness! I can't tell you how much I'm loving the recent Tiny Townies that have been released. Autumn is coloured with copics and fussy cut. Papers are by Bo Bunny. The sentiment was stamped with brown ink- it's such a lovely one, Em always comes up with THE best ones to accompany her images.

Here's your close up. I adore her dress!!! Such a beautiful stamp!

It's a late Bellarific Friday with the beautiful Tiny Townie Patricia Loves Pumpkins!

Hey folks! 

I'm a bit late with last week's Bellarific Friday as I've been on holiday (took our lil one to Centre Parcs) but hopefully the very very sweet Patricia will make up for it.

This week's challenge was the below inspiration photo...

This stamp makes me want to sigh, it's so gorgeous. I truly love it and she's an absolute joy to colour. The sunflower in her hair, the polka dots and stripes, the big fat pumpkin!! Gorg!! I coloured her with copics and added some white gel pen to the bottom of her dress and button. Papers are by Simple Stories. Leaf dies are by Echo Park. I used Patricia's matching die to cut her out- look how intricate Em makes the dies! And of course the sentiment comes with. I distressed some of the papers as I thought it fitted well with the Autumnal theme.

Here's your close up. Isn't her outfit just the cutest?!

Here was your inspiration photo. 

Next week's challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!
