TGIF! This week the Stamping Bella team is using images from the Mochi Girl category.  I chose Mochi Party Girl.

Copic markers – B21, B24, B29, BG10, BG11, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E33, E35, E37, E41, E42, E43, G21, G94, G99, R29, W1, W2, YG03

Also this week, I colored Oddball Albert from the latest release. Isn’t he fabulous? The set includes the image plus two sentiments. I adore him.

Hello everyone. Anything special going on in your world? Nothing new here which is ok with me.  🙂

This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with older, a.k.a. “vintage,” images.

I chose Bundle Girl Flower March. I adore her with her trail of flowers.

Copic markers – B60, BG10, BG70, BV00, BV02, BV13, BV31, BV23, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E50, E51, G21, G94, G99, N0, N1, YG03

After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copic markers, I stamped a Butterfly Sentiment, added a sprinkling of Queen & Company‘s purple jelly gems and stitched onto Papertrey Ink’s (old) Pretty Pastels Text Style patterned paper.

Hello everyone.  This week the Stamping Bella team is featuring our May Stamp of the Month, Mochi Donut Girl. The image is 50% off through May 31, 2021.

I have never been a big fan of donuts…until I tried Krispy Kreme. That first bite changed everything. Forget the rest.  🙂  How about you? Do you have a favorite?

Copic markers – B04, B06, BG11, BG13, C00, C1, C2, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, E51, R83, R85, RV11, RV32, Y21

I first stamped the image onto X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copic markers. I removed the portion of the stamped image below the donuts and table line, then stamped the plate portion onto a scrap of Queen & Company‘s Sweet Shop patterned paper. When cutting out the plate, I left a bit of the bottom of the donuts so that when I adhered the plate, I inserted it under the donuts. Layering paper-pieced parts are much easier to align that way. No chance for a tiny gap where cut edges may not perfectly meet. I did the same little trick with the blue “table.” Sentiment is from Long Stemmed Baby Peony.

Copic markers – B21, B23, B24, C00, C1, C2, E31, E33, E35, E34, E37, E50, E51, R24, R29, R89, Y21, YR23

Also this week, I colored new Oddball Maya. After coloring, I adhered her over a lightly blended background and Garden Party patterned paper.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Use a vintage Stamping Bella image, meaning one NOT from the current/most recent release. (If the image is not listed in the “what’s new” category, then it’s considered “vintage.”) All challenge details can be found HERE.

Hello everyone! Today the Stamping Bella team is revisiting the latest release. It was another great one so I had a hard time narrowing my choices.  So I picked two.  🙂

Copic markers – BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E31, E35, E37, E40, E41, E42, E43, E49, E59, R24, R29, R89, W00, W1, W2, Y21

I love this image, Daddy’s Little Girl. And to be honest, the sentiment is a tear jerker for me. When your dad is gone, the sentiment hits home a little hard. But it’s sweet. There’s a second sentiment that comes with the set as well.

Copic markers – BG11, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E33, E35, E37, E41, E42, E43, E51, E84, E87, E89, W4, W5, W7, Y21, YR07, YR09, YR18

Also this week I colored new Oddball Amelia.  She comes along with two sentiments also. I used my favorite of the two.

Next week’s challenge is to use any current Stamping Bella image. Easy enough.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! It’s a cold, cold Friday here this morning. It doesn’t feel like late April at all. Hoping for some heat soon (but not too much)!

This week the Stamping Bella team is creating using an inspiration photo (found at the end of this post).

Copic markers – B0000, B000, B00, C00, C1, G21, G94, G99, R83, R85, RV02, RV11, RV32, Y000, Y04, YG03, YR000, YR02, YR04, YR14

I chose pretty Mason Jar of Flowers. After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copic markers, I adhered over Queen & Company‘s lovely Flirty Florals patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment (included with the flower image) and attached using a Tiny Attacher.

This week I also shared the two cards below in Instagram.

Copic markers – BG10, BG70, E50, E51, E53, R00, R01, R85, R89, RV11, RV32, W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W7

Dandy Lion Loves You was colored with Copic markers and paired with Happy Hearts patterned paper. I added some heart sprinkles and white dots using an extra fine point white Sharpie marker. Once assembled, I adhered a (partial) Odd Together sentiment.

And lastly, I colored beautiful new Oddball Aretha. I used my MISTI to arrange the letters in a vertical format, colored with Copic markers and added “sparkles” to her gown using a white Sharpie. Once colored, I matted onto Fruit Stand patterned paper.

I paired Vintage Balloon set with an Edgar & Molly’s Vintage Sentiment. Before assembling the die-cut pieces, I blended in a Folk Dance stencil background.

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, BG13, BG18, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E35, E37, E40, E41, E42, E43, G21, G24, G28, R37, R83, R85, RV11, RV32, W00, W1, W2, Y12, Y15, Y18, Y38, YR23

Also this week, I used new Curvy Girl Mom to create a super sweet Mother’s Day card. I *adore* this image and sentiment. After coloring, I added strips of Echo Park’s Summer Bliss patterned paper.
