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!

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.

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 !
