Hi

I needed a card to put in a package for a little boy and when I saw this weeks MFTWSC93 I was totally inspired

I used MFT's die-namics by the letters.  The ds paper is Bazzill Basic Paper Dino-Mite.  For the banner behind I used MFT's Fishtail Flags Stax die-namics.  I added two orange buttons in the top corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by

A Halloween Twist

HMMM I had my post all set to go BUT forgot to schedule it for Friday so here's my Bellariffic Friday card a wee bit late

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge was to make either a Halloween card or a cards using Halloween colours - I chose to go with Halloween colours.  The dp that I used to inspire my card is EP's Chillingsworth Manor.

I stamped Uptown Girls Victoria & Juliette's night out with versafine black ink onto watercolour paper then embossed the image with black embossing powder.  I coloured the image with distress markers then paper pieced the dresses with the dp.  I shaded around the image with spiced marmalade distress ink.  The flower is MFT's Upsy Daisy Die-namics.

On the inside of the card I shaded cream cs with spiced marmalade distress ink and stamped the sentiment that comes with the set.  I used MFT's Fishtail Flags Stax die-namics.

Please stop by the rest of the Babes blogs to see their creations and Bloggabella to see what the sistah's created.  Next weeks theme is a sketch -

Email your card to Em by Thursday to be included in next weeks Bellariffic Fridays on Bloggabella and you could win some bella bucks.

Ramona Loves Cake

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch from Karen (SSSC169)

You will notice that I turned the sketch upside down this week to work with Ramona Loves Cake from Stamping Bella.  I stamped Ramona onto watercolour paper with versafine ink then embossed the image with black embossing powder.  I coloured the image with distress markers.  I shaded around the image with spun sugar distress ink.  The ds paper is American Crafts Neopolitan which I used to paper piece her jacket.  For the sparkles on the cake I used orange stickles.

On the inside of my card I used MFT's Fishtail Flag Stax die-namic and kept the theme from the sketch on the front of the card.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers and this weeks guest stamper's blogs to see their creations.  If you play along with us remember to link your card to Karen's blog for a chance to be a Sweet Sunday Guest Stamper.

Stop Thief.....

I'm happy to be back stamping although hubby & I had a fabulous trip to Vienna and Paris in September (part of the reason there were so few posts) but now I'm back to stamping, which is perfect because after the release from Stamping Bella I can hardly wait to get the new rubbah!!

Today I'm sharing a Mo Manning image that's available from Stamping Bella - Cupcake Thief.  

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream cs and coloured with copics, pencils and gamsol.  The stars on the cupcakes are paper pieced and on the middle cupcake I used crystal stickles for the sprinkles.  On her wings I used a gelly roll pen.  The banner is done with MFT's fishtail flag stax die-namics (can you tell they are one of my favourites!) For the shading around the image I used antique linen distress ink. The ds paper is EP's This & That.

Penguideer.....

I had wanted to take the month of Sept off because hubby & I had a trip at the beginning of the month so I thought a break would be perfect.  Then Em sent the email out with those magic words - RELEASE.  Like fine wine there is nothing like a fine release so I said PLEASE send me an image and here he is....

Penguideer.....

 The image is on bella's bestest white cs and coloured with copics and pencils with gamsol.  For the snow under his feet I cut the image along the bottom and layered a piece of white cs which was embossed with swiss dots.  In the snowflakes I used crystal stickles.  The ds paper is Yuletide. I am just squeezing Jen's SKFYTT for September in.

Monday is release day at Stamping Bella!  Oh I am so excited about this release and all the new Christmas images!!  Make sure you stop by both Bloggabella and Stamping Bella to see the entire release on Monday

thanks so much for stopping by - see you during the week since I'm back to stamping!!

Sassy Sweet Sunday

Wow I really am taking a break this month!  I did manage to get some time to play along with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch for this week (SSSC168)

I decided to make my nieces birthday card (it's next month I'm actually ahead of the game) and in order to make MFT's PI girl Cute-a-tude work I flipped the sketch

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream cs and coloured with copics.  Her dress is  paper pieced using MME's A Happy Heart.  The shading around the image is done with Scattered Straw distress ink.  I added a swiss dots to the base layer and on the right corner added a sentiment.  I chose this sentiment because my niece has always been one to give as good as she gets which is very good with the aunts & uncles she has!  For the inside I used a sentiment from MFT's Birthday Princess.  

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs, and this weeks Guest Stampers blog. If you play along with the sketch remember to link it on Karen's blog for a chance to be a Sweet Sunday Guest Stamper

An Apple A Day....

I've been taking a bit of a break for September but I wanted to play along with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC167)

Since it's apple season I decided to ink up an image from Stamping Bella's Lulu's Set of Fruit.

The image is stamped with versafine black ink onto watercolour paper.  I then coloured the apples and flower with distress markers.  For the basket I stamped the image onto a piece of ds paper from MME's Dolled up then paper pieced it.  I used the same ds on the rest of the card.  I shaded around the image with tumbled glass distress ink.  In the centre of the flower I added a tiny rhinestone.  The border is MFT's small scallop border die-namic and the banner is MFT's die-namics Fishtail flags Stax.
