New card

I made this card for my Bella sistah Simone a couple of weeks ago. I used the Hulabella stamp for my image. I also used Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black (love this ink!!) and coloured it in with Tombow markers. I also used a green Gelly Roll pen to add some sparkle to the image. To finish off the card, I used some Prima flowers, brads, and some clear baubles from Stamping Bella. I thought that this card turned out cute and I just wanted to share it with everyone. Thanks for stopping by!!

New cards and a package from my Bella Sistah!!

Hi everyone!! I received a package in the mail from my Bella Sistah Simone on Monday and I thought I'd share a pic of all the goodies she sent me. She sent me some cool rub-ons, flowers, paper frills, fozz-felt strips, paper, crushed velvet brads, cute felt stickers, gemstones, a Veggiebella stamp (I've been wanting that stamp for a while), flower rain dots (not pictured...sorry...they're cute though), and a great card. I can't wait to use everything!!

The first card I created on Monday and I made it for my mom. I used my new Halobella stamp and You're An Angel sentiment. I stamped the image using Memento Ink and embossed it, used tombow markers and a paintbrush to colour it in (I love how the dress turned out). I also used some crushed velvet flock on the inside of the angel's wings and on one of the clouds. I added some clear baubles (from Stamping Bella) and some Prima flowers to complete the card (I like the finished result).

The second card I created last night at a card class. I used a stamp from the Penny Black line and used Memento Ink. Liquid Applique was also used to create the dots on the image. I chalked with green around the side of the card and chalked the dots in pink. The sentiment was run through the Cuttlebug and pop-dots were used to make it stand out. I really like this card (it's simple, yet cute).

The final card was also created at a card class last night. Using Versamark ink, I stamped the image and used 4 different colours of embossing powder. After the image was embossed, I used tombow markers to fill in some blank spaces and create some depth. The brads were also embossed (I seem to have a problem with getting brads to line up straight). I like how the card turned out and can't wait to try this technique again.

Thanks again for stopping by. Hopefully I can create some more cards this week (seeing as I am on vacation). Have a great rest of the week everyone!!

Latest card

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy with work and working on our new house that I haven't really had much time to make many new cards. Hopefully this weekend, I can squeeze some card making time in (I need to use all the new stuff that I bought in the States last Saturday...especially my Cuttlebug).

This is a card that I made about a week or two ago from my Bella Sistah, Simone. I used the kittycattabella stamp from Stamping Bella (I love this stamp because it reminds me of me and my cats). I embossed the image and coloured it in with Tombow markers. I stuck with pink and brown as my card colours and tried to put those colours into my brads as well. It's a simple card but I like it.

Hopefully everyone gets a chance to use the free shipping code from Stamping Bella this weekend (I did and I can't wait to get my package in the mail)...thanks to Emily (she's the best)!!

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Happy Thursday!!

Hope everyone has been having a great week!!I've created 3 more cards for everyone to check out!! The first two were made at a class last night, and the last card I made tonight to send to one of my friends who I haven't seen in a while.

So for the first card, I used Tombow markers to colour the design on watercolour paper (I love what a little bit of marker and water can do). I also used the Cuttlebug, some Nestabilities, and some embossing folders for the main parts of the card (can't wait for the weekend as I am FINALLY going to purchase a Cuttlebug of my own!). After adding some Mica flakes, ribbon, and a shaped clip, the card was done (and I LOVE how it turned out!!).

The second card can be used as a gift card holder. We used the Cuttlebug and the Nestabilities for the circles, but other than that we just used a template for the rest of the card. I included two pictures of the card just so you can see the card as a whole and then the two different parts of the card. I like how this card turned out too!

And the final card was made using the Funky Clothesline image and the Let's Hang Out sentiment from Stamping Bella. I just kept this card simple but I like the end result!

Anyways, thanks for stopping by to check out my newest cards! Hopefully I'll get to make some more cards this weekend!

More cards...

On this first card , I used the Cosmobella from Stamping Bella , embossed her, and coloured her in with Tombow markers and added some brads next to her. I also used the Cuttlebug to create the flower in the top corner and secured it with a brad.
Using a hollyhock stamp from Sunshine Designs, I stamped the image 3 times on the bigger white cardstock, then once on the smaller piece of white cardstock. I used Tombow markers to colour them in and added Stickles for some sparkle. I also added some pop dots to make the smaller image stand out.
This is one of the most recent cards that I have made (I made it at the beginning of this month). All the ink used was from the Memento Ink line (love those inks!!). Again, I used the Cuttlebug to create the flower and secured it with a brad. I added Quickie Glue and glitter to make the butterfly sparkle.
And this last card is another card that I made at the beginning of the month All the ink is from the Memento line. I used 2 different shades of green and 2 different shades of blue from the to create the sky and the grass. I stamped the leaf image using another shade of green ink and I stamped the flowers 3 times. After embossing them, I used 2 shades of blue and a shade of grey to colour them in and cut them out by hand. I used a Souffle pen to dot the white sections of the flowers. The very top flower is secured with a pop dot and has a bauble for some added pizzazz.

All of the above cards were made at classes that I attend at a local stamping/scrapbooking store. Thanks again for checking out some of my newer cards (I still have more pics of cards to add soon)!!

Some cards...

This first card I made for my niece's birthday this year. I used EK Success Memory Pencils to colour the presents.


This second card I made for my sister-in-law's birthday this year using the Cuppacakeabella stamp from Stamping Bella. I coloured her in with Tombow markers.


This card I made for my mom and step-dad for Valentine's Day this year. I coloured the image with EK Success Memory Pencils.


This card I made for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day this year. I used the same image from above (I really like it) but chose not to colour it in. I also really like the Valentine paper.


I made these two cards for my mom and my boyfriend's mom for Mother's Day this year. I really liked the image that I chose so I decided to use it for both of their cards. I embossed the image and added Stickles to make it sparkle a bit.

Sorry that I don't know which company makes the paper I chose or the ribbons I chose. Once I get pictures of the other cards that I have made, I'll post them up here as well. Thanks again for stopping by!!

First post

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've been stamping for 7 months now and I decided to start this blog to share some of the cards that I have made since then (so if anyone has any comments or tips for me, please feel free to share them!!). I was also inspired to start this blog after viewing some of the work doing by the talented ladies in the bellaholicsanonymous group that I belong to (if you love stamping and you love Stamping Bella stamps, you should check out this group)!!
