First, I used Straight Up Floral set with new Little Bits Fairies.

I used a cloud border to sponge the sky after stamping and coloring the house. Bugs were adhered using clear foam squares.

I’m back today to share a few more samples from Stamping Bella‘s upcoming June 25 release. Today we have new Squidgy Pals and Goalie Squidgy.  🙂

Squidgy Pals is a set of four of the cutest little squidgies ever. Here I paired one with a peek at another new set which shall not be named until Saturday. (Shhhh, I snuck it in.)

Copic markers – B16, B24, B66, B69, BG10, BG11, BG13, E00, E01, E11, E35, E37, G17, R01, R24, R39, R83, R85, RV32, W1, W2, W3, YG03, YG06, YG09

I colored with markers then white embossed a sentiment from Tiny Townie Ellie the Elf. The flower border is from Taylored Expressions’ Skinny Mini Borders 2 and patterned paper is Picture Perfect from Queen & Company.

Next, I used a second Squidgy Pal and Birthday Sentiment to create a boy birthday card.

Copic markers – B93, B95, BV17, E00, E01, E11, E31, E33, E35, E37, G03, R01, R24, R29, Y21, YR23

I colored with markers, cut out and adhered over strips of Birthday Bash and Delightful Dots patterned paper from Queen & Company. Balloon dies are from Paper Smooches.

And last but not least for today is new Goalie Squidgy. I am a H-U-G-E hockey fan, specifically the 2018 Washington Capitals Stanley Cup CHAMPIONS!  (#ALLCAPS #fanthroughthickandthin #superexcitingyear #itwasstressful) So I was happy to see this cute goalie.

Copic markers – B29, BG10, BG70, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E18, E31, E33, E35, E40, E42, E43, R29, R39, W00, W1, W2, W3

Of course I colored him in Washington Capitals colors (how could I not?) and used a Queen & Company black Epoxy Dot as the puck. Patterned paper is from Fruit Basket (also Q&C).

Hi everyone! I’m back today sharing one more of the new Oddballs, coming to Stamping Bella June 25th!

Meet Oddball Boy Graduate. Of course, there is an Oddball Girl Graduate too.  🙂 If it weren’t for the actual excitement of being “done,” I believe this is what a lot of graduates would look like after all of those finals and projects.

Copic markers – B0000, B000, BG10, E000, E00, E01, E11, C00, C1, C2, C3, C5, C6, C7, C9, E31, E35, E37, Y21

To be honest, this is what *I* looked like after my son’s graduation and party. Exhausted.

Hi everyone! I’ve been (so impatiently) awaiting the chance to share a new line coming to Stamping Bella. Meet the Oddballs!

They’re cute and quirky and I LOVE them! I have four to share today but you can pop on over to the Stamping Bella blog to see more! The new release will be available on Monday, June 25 (which is also the birthday of Emily, THE Stamping Bella).  🙂

All of my samples were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

First up is Oddball Birthday Queen.

This set includes the main image, a separate birthday cake image (which I did not use) and the sentiment.

Copic markers – BG11, BV04, BV08, BV13, BV17, E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E18, E30, E31, E35, E50, E51, E53, G17, R89, RV17, RV19, RV32, RV69, W00, W1, W2, W3, Y21, YG06, YG17, YR23

There are two skulls on the birthday cake image, again, which I did not use here (in its entirety).  I stamped one of the skulls multiple times then cut out each and adhered over a banner die-cut (Taylored Expressions’ Skinny Mini Valentine Borders).  🙂

Next I have Oddball Nurse.  She’s one of my favorites of those I’ve seen so far.

I just love the look of exhaustion on her face. I’m sure all nurses can relate. (Bless them!)

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, C00, C1, C2, 100, E000, E00, E01, E11, E31, E35, E37, E49, R20, R29, Y21

The little red crosses are from Taylored Expressions’ Little Bits Nurse Hat dies.

Next is Oddball with a Coffee. She represents sooo many of us. 🙂

I love the sentiment (and the bones).

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, BG70, C00, C1, C2, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E18, E51, R01, R83, R85, R89, RV11, RV32, YG03, YG06, YG09, YG17, Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen

Sprinkled around her, I adhered some Epoxy Dots by Queen & Company.

And last but not least (for today, anyway), Oddball with a Martini.

After coloring the image, I added a bit of pattern to her dress with a Copic Multiliner.

Copic markers – BG11, BG13, BG15, C00, C1, C2, C3, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E18, R01, R81, R83, R85, RV32, Y21, YG03, YG06, YG09, black Multiliner

Pretty Fruit Basket patterned paper and Epoxy Dots are by Queen & Company.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more samples from the new release.  Thanks for stopping by!  🙂

Hi everyone! Welcome to another Bellarific Friday with Stamping Bella! This week we were to use an image in the same category (Bella 2.0) as our Stamp of the Month (All Boxed Up). I chose Flowers Behind My Back aBella.

I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copic markers. The dress portion of the image was stamped again onto patterned paper (from Doodlebug Design’s Hello 6×6 paper pad), cut out and adhered over the stamped image. Once adhered I added shadow using Copic grays and blue-greens.

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, 70, C00, C1, C2, E00, E01, E11, E31, E37, E35, E40, E42, E43, G17, R01, RV04, RV09, Y17, Y21, Y23, YG06, YG09, YR23

I layered the sentiment then stapled to the patterned paper, adding a small enamel heart shape embellishment.
