There are sooo many fantastic historical Oddball images this month. Rosie the Riveter is one of my favorites.  There are two sentiments included – the one I used here and “Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.” I love it.

Hello, hello! It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella! This week we were to use older, a.k.a. “vintage,” images. Unfortunately, I chose not only one but TWO discontinued images. Yep. I am totally out of it this week. Terrible. So while neither count toward the challenge, I thought I’d share them anyway…just because. (Next week I’ll be certain to use current images!!  Sheesh.)

Copic markers – E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E35, E37, G24, R30, V15, V17, W1, W2, W3, Y21, YR23

First, I colored Tiny Townie Becky Loves Bunnies.  I used a current Easter Sentiment and discontinued flowers and patterned paper from Queen & Company.

Copic markers – C00, C1, R000, RV11, RV32

After I colored the first discontinued image, I thought “I’ll make a quick Row of Bunny Wobbles!  Yep…discontinued also. *shaking my head*  I used another (current) Easter Sentiment with some heart buttons from Queen & Company.

Hello everyone! I hope your week has gone well. It’s been quiet here, which is perfect for me.

This week the Stamping Bella team is sharing samples using the March Stamp of the Month, Golden, Wolfhound & Bulldog. The set includes three separate pup images and is available through March 31, 2021 at 50% off.

After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copic markers, I used a craft knife to cut along the left and right sides of the dog where I then inserted a Dog Sentiment strip.

Copic markers – BG10, E70, E71, E74, E77, E79, W00, W1, W2

I die-cut a few Paper Smooches Balloons and decorated with Paper Smooches Paw Print dies. Once assembled, I matted onto Queen & Company‘s Vintage Truck/Sweater Weather patterned paper.

Hello everyone. It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella. This week we’re using images from the latest release. I did a little switcheroo with the sentiment that comes along with Bundle Girl & Penguin Bake a Cake. 🙂

I first stamped the image onto X-Press It Blending Card, colored with Copic markers and paper-pieced the outfit using Queen & Company‘s pretty new Garden Party patterned paper. (I’ll be sharing shaker cards very soon using their new Garden Party shaker kit. It’s soooo cute!)

In the background, I embossed the top portion of  my card using Taylored Expressions’ Graphic Birthday Impressions embossing folder. Using my MISTI, I stamped the first and second lines of the sentiment, then replaced “Christmas” with “Birthday” from Curvy Girl Eats Cake.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Have a great weekend!

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well with you. Sending warm thoughts to my friends in Texas. What a horrible situation.  We had a lot of ice/freezing rain here but nothing like what Texas is experiencing.

This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with images from the category of our Stamp of the Month, Oddballs. Oddball Cupid is remains available at 50% off through 2/28.

After stamping Oddball Queen of Hearts onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers and stamped an Alice in Wonderland sentiment. Isn’t she great? I love that sentiment too. So funny. 🙂

First I colored Hydrangea Baby in a Pot. Once colored, I masked the baby then added a blue blended background. I also added some white dots in with the flowers. Around the baby, I dotted Diamond Stickles (which unfortunately barely shows in the photo).

Copic markers – E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E33, E35, R20, Y21, YG63, YG67, YG97, YG99, YR16, YR23

Hello, hello! I hope you’ve had a great week. It’s been pretty quiet here which is A-Ok with me!

Lastly, I used Curvy Girl Eats Cake and a Birthday Sentiment. I paper-pieced the dress then stamped and colored the cake a second time so I could cut out and pop up on foam tape. With the help of my MISTI, I broke apart the sentiment to fit better in the open space.

I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card, paper-piecing her hat and dress using (older) Echo Park Have Faith patterned paper. I colored with Copic markers, adding shadows with grays.  I adhered several flowers along the bottom and added Duck Egg Blue Nuvo Crystal Drops as flower centers. I truly love those drops and wish I had each and every color. They’re fabulous! Why did I wait so long to try them??
