Pop It Up

It's Bellariffic Friday & today's theme is one of my "normal" techniques Pop It Up.  I always have at least one element on my card popped up so this one was easy for me; so easy in fact that I almost missed it!  I was chatting on the phone about 5pm yesterday thinking Oh man I need to send Em my card - UMMMM there was no card!  I had been working ahead, but I clearly caught up!  Thankfully I have new rubbah in the house so I picked one of my new Uptown Girls.

Claudia has a Candy is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest cream paper & coloured with copics.  I paper pieced her dress with MME's Dwell designer paper and added some tiny rhinestones along the circles on the bottom.  For the candy I paper pieced it and popped the top pop up then used a clear glaze pen for some shine.  I popped up the image panel (the black base is where it is popped up and popped up half of the sentiment circle(the sentiment comes with the image) so it would sit on the image panel.

Don't forget to stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes creations & remember to leave a comment for some Bella Bucks!!  Next weeks theme is FALL colours - email your card to Em by Thursday to be included

LuLu's Snowman

Today's Bellariffic Fridays theme is a sketch by Pauline-abella.  I decided to take it as an opportunity to get another Christmas card done.

I inked up Stamping Bella's LuLu's Snowman and stamped the image onto bella's bestest paper  and coloured the image with copics.  I used liquid applique for the trim on the hats and added some glamour dust glitter.  For the snowflakes I used my quickie glue pen and some more glamour dust glitter.  The ds paper is Crate Papers Snow Day.

Wedding Wishes...

My cousins daughter was married this summer & we were invited, but couldn't attend since it was in Toronto and hubby had to work - bummer.  I'm totally late getting my card out to them; but when I saw todays MFTWSC38 I thought it would be perfect.

The theme for the wedding was black & white (picked way, way, way before some other wedding you may have heard about this summer) so I kept the colours in the theme; which was extremely challenging!

I inked up a sentiment from MFT's Clearly Sentimental about Love and stamped the image on white cs. I embossed the white and black cs layers with cuttlebugs swiss dots, and instead of a straight border I used MFT's die-namincs medium simply scallops and embossed those with the swiss dots.  I added some black ribbon along the scallops and used the same ribbon for the bow.

Thanks for stopping & have a great day!!

Sweet Sunday 135

Happy Sunday I hope everyone had a great week!  Today I'm back to share Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch for this week (SSSC135)

I needed to make a thank you card for my Aunt.  Last weekend I spent in Nelson visiting my parents.  The weather was so fabulous that my parents & I went to my Aunt & Uncles cabin to float on the lake.  It was so relaxing; except for my Mom when I accidentally tipped her floaty ;)  ANYWAYS my Aunt sent me home with some canning - some yummy jams!  Since my Aunt is also an amazing gardener I decided to use a flower image.

I inked up Stamping Bella's Flower Garden.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with pencils and mineral spirits.  In the centre of the flowers I added a little glitter.  After being so good and sticking to the sketch for a couple of weeks I had to flip it this time!
