Bella Monday

Good Monday Morning and I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

Personally I had a great and productive weekend! Card fever hit home and I was "busy as a bee" creating cards. I tell ya' its a wonderful feeling when you get this sudden burst of creative energy....you really don't want to stop for anything!!! lol

Today's card features Lattebella enjoying a cup of latte and I'm rather fond of this Bella Stamp. In my mind... if you love your cup of latte, coffee, tea or hot chocolate you can really relate to this stamp! As I'm sitting here, the aroma of my coffee makes me wanna smile....hmmmmmmmm good! I know I'm a silly ole fart! lol

Back to the card....the Designer Series Paper I chose for this card is Pacific Point. I LOVE this color!!! The shade of blue is awesome and the coordinating papers are a dream to work with. I know most of you have heard other stampers confessing their love for SU's New In-Colors, but honestly the vibrancy of these colors are awesome!! The card stocks used are SU's Pacific Point and Papertrey Inks Stampers Select. The stamp is Lattebella by Stamping Bella and the sentiment is from MFT.
As usual...I colored in my image using Copic Markers and matted my image with Nestabilities oval dies. To embellish my card I did a bit of sewing, added photo corners using SU's corner punch, added flowers and a bit of extra fine glitter.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and I hope you have a terrific day!

Another Halloween Card!

Yep...I'm still cranking out Halloween Cards. I have to admit that it is a fun time of year especially for the kids! Well some of the excitement has rubbed off on me and whenever I get the chance, I make a Halloween card. This card features the same Bella Stamp that I used a week ago, but with a different flair to it.

I used my Cuttlebug spider web folder to emboss my base layer instead of using DP. My image was colored using Copic Markers and matted with oval templates (Spellbinders) The card stocks used were Stampers Select from Papertrey Ink and the black card stock is from the Cut Cardstock Company. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the flowers are Prima's. I also embellished my card with sm. orange pearls.

Well I have to run to the druug store and pick up a few things for my hubby and pick the kids up from school. (Where did the day go?)

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Celebrate Halloween Bella Style!

Well we're into the Labor Day weekend and its slow moving around here. We don't have anything special planned and I like it this way for a change! If the mood strikes, we might go out to dinner and catch a movie. So....in keeping with the lazy theme, I probably won't post anymore until Tuesday morning.

While puttering in my craft room, my eyes came across my neglected Bella stamps. I think this Trick or Treat a Bella is is a cute one and decided to play and make a couple of cards with it.
I'll post the other Bella cards sometime next week.

Take care of yourselves and have a terrific safe holiday weekend and thank you for stopping by

Bella Card

Hello and I hope that everyone is having a fun Thursday. (Whatever that means)
Yep....I do love my Bella's ....and probably always will...there just something about these stamps that I like! Anyhow, I got the sketch idea from the May edition of SheetLoad of Cards. It's a easy sketch to follow and I'm pleased the the results.
I hope that everyone is having a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Belle of the Ball

I've been a busy stamper today and I'm amazed that I finally accomplished a few cards! The past week and a half I couldn't make a card at all....my mind went completely blank! Fast forward......this Bella Stamp is a gift from my friend Stamper Gail! Thank you Gail, I love this Bella very very much. I haven't decided on a sentiment yet so I left that area blank for now. I stamped my gate image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps and stamped the Bella image separately. After I colored my Bella, I cut out the image and mounted it on top of the gate image with pop dots. The card base is stamped with swirls in Barely Banana Ink.

stamps: Stamping Bella Stamps, the gate is from High Hopes and swirls are from TAC
paper: Papertrey Ink Stampers Select and pieces from my stash
inks: Adirondak Pitch Black and Copic Markers
ribbon from my stash and I also used mini- brad and my corner punch
