A Little Behind ;-)

Leave a comment

It’s the weekend!  Finally :-)

I made this card a while ago, and find myself needing it more and more!  I can’t seem to keep up :-)

a little behind iheart2stamp (Large)

This image is All Bummed Out Baby from Bella Stamps.  Isn’t it cute?!  I colored him using Copics.  The flap on his tush is paper pieced.  I glued tiny pieces of embroidery floss to his head for hair.  The sentiment was created and printed using Word, then punched with my SU! Modern Label Punch.  The inside is stamped “I just wanted to give you a reason to celebrate a little longer!  Happy Belated Birthday”  from SU! On Your Birthday set.

Thanks for looking!

Love Craveabella!

Hello!

I hope everyone is great and staying healthy!  I have taken an unwanted break from my craft room.  Pneumonia hit our house.  All six of us were down with it.  We spent 5 days in the hospital, 2 with our son then a few days later 3 with two of our girls.  It seems to be taking forever to get over pneumonia.  We are still coughing and hacking, but feeling MUCH better!  Lately I have managed to spend some much needed time in my pink haven :-)

I absolutely love Bella stamps.  One of my friends is within days of having her baby so I wanted to send her a fun, girly, Craveabella card.  She is expecting a boy, so this is probably the last girly thing she’ll get for awhile!

I used sketch challenge SC213 for the layout:

When I make a card and am unsure how to color the image, I will stamp several and experiment with different colors on each one until I hit the jackpot.  My girls love it when I do this.  They collect all my experiments and make cards of their own with them.  I think they ended up with about 5 Craveabella’s to play with!  It was fun though.  My favorite things on this card are the pillow and the huge flower.  I colored the pillow in a striped pattern, mimicking the striped DP.  The flower was made using various flower punches I have (they aren’t even by the same manufacture, amazing!).  I placed dimensionals between the pretty in pink and white petals so it wouldn’t be flat.  I hope you like it :-)

Have a great day and stay healthy!!

Gardenia Greenthumb

Happy Wednesday :-)

It’s a wonderful day so far. It is a calm, sunny 70 degrees. Hopefully it stays under 90 today :-)

I love the stamp I used on today’s card. It is Gardenia Greenthumb from Stamping Bella. I’m telling you, I just can’t get enough of these stamps!

I really like this Cloud 9 Design DP. I struggled a little trying to figure out how to color the image so it coordinated with the DP. I colored two that I didn’t like before I ended up with this one. My girls love it when I have scraps and images I don’t end up using. They have a blast making cards with everything the collect from my piles! I tried my hand at dying flowers from the SU! Paper Pretties Kit. These two flowers are died in Pink Pirouette (new incolor) and Elegant Eggplant. I used my re-inkers and it worked beautifully :-)

For a few finishing touches, I glued two Taylor Tots in the upper left corner of my image. They always add such a pretty touch. If you haven’t added them to your collection, you should consider it ;-). I also stamped swirls on the Vanilla photo corner. It was too boring being plain, so I broke out one of my neglected SU! wheels, Swirl Style. I think it ties in with the swirls in her wings and the swirls in the green DP.

Thanks for looking!

Wish Big

Hi :-)

I have been making birthday cards a lot lately.  Here is one I made with a couple of friends in mind.  I think it is fitting for most of us with our busy lifes.  It’s your birthday…wish big: -)

I am in love with Bella stamps!  This one is Underthehoodybella.  I had a difficult time deciding how to color her without introducing more colors.  I colored the chair and table top with my blender pen and soft sky ink pad.  The base of the table and chair are going gray.  I left her robe and slippers white.  After coloring, I thought she needed to sparkle.  I went over the entire image with my Sakura Stardust Pen.  It added just the right amount of sparkle and toned down the colors as well so they complement the DP better (the DP is by Imaginisce for Press Sake).  Bella is attached with dimensionals.

In the upper left corner I added two Taylor Tots from Taylored Expressions.  My sentiment is embossed with white detail EP.  See those scallops?  They were made with the new SU! scallop border punch, LOVE IT!

Have a great weekend!

Hi :-)

I hope everyone had a fun, safe 4th!  We had a lot of fun, now we need some time to catch up on rest, house cleaning, etc.  We have been traveling a lot and spending as much time on the mountain as possible these last few weeks so we’re exhausted :-)  I need to get back in my stamping room this week!  I miss it!  This is the last card I made (2 weeks ago!!) for my sister’s birthday.  She LOVES purple:

This is Billboardabella.  Isn’t she cute!?  I used almost amethyst, elegant eggplant and Making Memories DP.  I used my CB Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for the white layer.  Both the Bella layer and the eggplant layer are on dimensionals.  I colored bella with my SU! markers.

Have a great week :-)

Loving Bella

Hi :-)

I have been loving Bella stamps!  I just can’t seem to get enough of them :-)  This is Flowabella…

flowabella sc115 (Large)

Isn’t she cute?!  For this card I used SC115.  I started by dry embossing my first layer with my Cuttlebug.  I think the swirls go with her crazy hair :-)  Bella is on dimensionals.  I punched slits in the bottom and threaded celery ribbon though, then attached the sentiment with mini brads.  I printed the sentiment off with my computer then punched it with my oval punch.  The flower is a Bazzill Bling Blossom with a white brad in the center.

Have a good afternoon :-)

Jammybella Loves Pink

1 Thought

Hi :-)

I have a card to share today that I made for my sister.  Keep in mind that we both love pink…

Josie's Jammybella (Large)

Don’t you just love Bella stamps?  I can’t seem to have enough :-)  I used SU! Berry Bliss DP and colored Jammybella with SU! markers to coordinate.  For the flower, I used a flower punch by Fun Expressions.  I used my VersaMark marker to ink around the petal tips then embossed it with white EP.  I punched a white circle to stick behind the flower, then a smaller cocoa circle to place on top the flower, under the white brad.  I really like how the flower turned out.  The petals remind me of my sister’s French manicure :-)

Thanks for looking!
