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

Copic markers – B60, BG15, BG18, BG78, BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV31, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E31, E35, E37, E40, E41, N4, N7, N9, 100, 110, R01, R29, R56, R59, R89, Y21, YR07, YR09, YR12, YR16

After stamping her onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers, adding in a bit of faux sparkle using a fine point white Sharpie pen.

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

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.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Next week we’re using images from the Stamp of the Month category, Mochi Girls. As a reminder, Mochi Donut Girl is available at 50% off through May 31, 2021. All challenge details can be found HERE.

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.

Hello everyone! It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella! This week the team is revisiting older, a.k.a. “vintage,” images. I chose super-sweet Tiny Townie Pirate.

Isn’t she the sweetest? I love her little patched flag.  And the sentiment is too cute.  🙂

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve had a nice week. Mine has been very busy…which is so strange to be experiencing after having so much of “nothing” going on for so long.

This week the Stamping Bella team is using the April Stamp of the Month, Edgar & Molly Vintage Snail Set. The five image set is 50% off through April 30th.

Copic markers – BG10, BG70, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E31, E35, E37, G21, G24, G28, R01, R02, R24, R29, R89, W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W7, 110, Y17, Y21, YR16, YR18, YR31

In addition to the images I used here, the set includes a teacup and a snail.  I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card, colored with Copic markers and then adhered a scrap of gingham paper, a heat embossed Encouragement sentiment and three of the 4,000 brads I still have from 80 years ago. (Someone please bring these back! haha.)

Copic markers – B21, B23, BG10, BG11, C00, C1, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, RV11, RV32, V01, V12, V15, Y21, YG03, YG05, Y35

Hello everyone! This week the Stamping Bella team is revisiting the latest release. I love the release so it was pure pleasure for me to do so.  I actually chose two.

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, C00, C1, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E50, R24, R29, R59, R83, RV11, RV32

First I used Oddball Marie Antoinette. I think she’s fabulous and the two sentiments that come with the image are pretty great also.  🙂 I colored her in reds and pink, matching Queen & Company‘s Happy Hearts patterned paper.

Copic markers – E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E31, E35, E37, R00, R85, RV11, RV32, W00, W1, Y21, YG03, YG05, YG17, YG63, YR14, YR15, YR18

I also used new Curvy Girl with a Sign. I love that there are five different sentiments to stamp on her paper.  (I used “I miss you” here.) I paired her with Q&C’s Vintage Truck-Sweater Weather patterned paper. To the right, I adhered a couple of Taylored Expressions’ All Wrapped Up die-cut packages.

Copic markers – BG10, BG11, BG70, C00, C1, C2, C3, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, G20, G21, G24, G28, R01, R02, R83, RV11, RV32, V12, V15, YG03, YG07

Also this week I used an older, totally adorable image, Tiny Townie Ella Loves Easter. I stamped an Easter Sentiment and then matted onto Q&C’s Garden Party patterned paper. A pink Flower Button was tacked onto the sentiment strip.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! It’s the final day of Spring previews featuring Stamping Bella‘s latest release.  All images will be available for sale tomorrow morning and I can’t wait! I haven’t seen everything so I’m as excited as some of you!

Today the team is featuring designs using a new character, Dandy Lion. I think you’ll like him!

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

Hello Dandy Lion

Copic markers – E30, E31, E71, R000, W1, W3

I *love* Hello Dandy Lion! This particular image is my absolute favorite of the bunch (from those I’ve seen so far).  I stamped him and his coordinating sentiment, colored his face and hands with markers, then stamped again onto a page ripped from an old book. (I got the book from a freebie bin at a used book store. One old encyclopedia is enough to last a lifetime!) I then very carefully cut out his mane, glued over the first stamped image and added shading with Copic markers. I also added white highlights to the “bubbles” using a Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen.

Dandy Lion Protector of Hearts

Copic markers – BG000, C00, C1, C2, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, R01, V0000, V000

Next is Dandy Lion Protector of Hearts.  After coloring, I added a bit of Diamond Stickles to his wings, adhered a couple of Paper Smooches small clouds and matted over Queen & Company‘s Simple Stripes patterned paper.

Out of This World Dandy

Copic markers – B02, B28, B29, B39, B69, BG15, BG18, E25, E27, E31, E33, G16, G21, G24, G29, R02, R20, R24, R29, R56, R83, R85, V09, W00, W1, Y00, Y21, Y23, YR15, YR18, YR23, YR24, YR27, YR68

With Out of This World Dandy I colored onto kraft paper and added white highlights with my White Pearl pen.

Knitting Dandy

Copic markers – C00, C1, C2, E31, E33, E37, G21, G24, R83, R85, RV11, RV32, G21, G24, R83, R85, RV11, RV32, V01, V12, V15, YG17, YG41, YG45, YG61

My Knitting Dandy are a little on the wild side with their green and purple manes. I used patterned paper from Paper Smooches and epoxy dots from Queen & Company.

Bubble Dandy

Copic markers – BG000, C00, C1, E13, E15, E18, E30, E31, E33, E34, E35, G0000, R00, R01, R21, R81, V12

Last of my samples is Bubble Dandy. I added Diamond Stickles to the bubbles, a tiny heart by the sentiment and then matted onto Queen & Company‘s pretty new Garden Party patterned paper.
