Paper Cuts

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you! This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with images from the latest release.

I chose new Tiny Townie Astronauts. I love that the set comes with four different little astronaut images. I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. I used a fine tip pen to add the dotted heart design on the flag and a white Sharpie to add dots to the space suits.

To create the background, I first dotted the black card stock with a powder tool then stamped Starry Sky Backdrop using white pigment ink. I covered the panel with white detail embossing powder then heat embossed. Once assembled, I added a sprinkling of tiny clear rhinestone gems onto the background.

This week I also posted in Instagram the above card using new Astrology Chart. The set comes with the chart, the Tiny Townie girl and the sentiment. Note: I used my MISTI to rearrange the breaking of the sentiment to better fit the space on my card.

I paper-pieced the dress then added a row of rhinestones around the inner circle of the chart. To add a bit of dimension, I placed a foam square behind the girl’s head while attaching the lower part of her body directly onto the card front.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Hello crafty friends. 🙂 This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with images from the Stamp of the Month category, Bundle Girls.

I chose Grim Reaper Bundle Girl. (I still think she’s cute, even dressed as a reaper.) After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers (listed below the close-up photo) and layered over Taylored Expressions’ Birch Tree Cutting Plate. Dotted pattern was added to the clothing using a lavender Kirarina Wink glitter pen.

The birch tree and star papers are from Queen & Company‘s Hocus Pocus paper pad. Once assembled I adhered some black and purple jelly gems to add a bit of sparkle. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella’s Oddball Frankenstein.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a nice week. The weather here is glorious and I’m soaking it all in…while it’s here! 🙂 This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with “vintage” images, otherwise known as “any not in the new release category.”

I chose to use Oddball Witch. She was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. I used my MISTI to break up the sentiment, changing it to four lines instead of two. To add a bit of dimension, I placed foam tape beneath the witch’s hat and head while adhering her boots and broom directly to the card base. I used a strip of (old) Doodlebug Design Halloween Parade patterned paper and adhered a few Queen & Company purple epoxy dots.

Also this week, I colored new Christmas Camper. Once colored, I added “snow” by dotting a white Sharpie over the tree, wreath and ground.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Use any current image from the Stamp of the Month category, Bundle Girls. As a reminder, Bundle Girl on a Swing is available at 50% off through September. All challenge details can be found HERE.

Hello everyone. This week the Stamping Bella team is creating with the September Stamp of the Month, Bundle Girl on a Swing. Now through September 30, 2021 this super sweet image with sentiment is 50% off.

After stamping the image onto X-Press It Blending Card, I inked the end of the branch and stamped three additional times to create more of the tree. I colored with Copic markers, added dots with a fine tip white Sharpie marker and then used my MISTI to break up the sentiment and align the words/spacing. (I use the MISTI to stamp my base images also. It makes my stamping life soooo much easier.) Striped paper is from Queen & Company‘s Happy Harvest paper pad.

This week I also created the two cards below:

New Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella, Queen & Company Garden Party patterned paper.

New Edna and the Manatee, Taylored Expressions Go With the Flow stencil, Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.

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. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted. Things have been crazy busy here. Not bad, just exhausting, non-stop “stuff.” Hopefully, I’m getting back on track now. 🙂 Today I’m sharing the weekly Stamping Bella challenge, then at the end I’ll also post work I shared on Instagram.

This week we’re creating with images from the latest release. I have a couple. 🙂 First, I used Tiny Townie Loves Tea. I paper-pieced her dress and tea cup/saucer then added shading with my Copic markers. I think the sentiment is cute. 🙂

Next I have super cute new Gnomedeer. After coloring, I added dots of white using an extra fine tip white Sharpie. Simple Stripes patterned paper and Bitty Buttons are from Queen & Company.
