Bellariffic Lollipop

Happy Black Friday to all of you in the States, if you are going shopping I wish you great success - from what I see on the news it looks crazy; not sure I would be going out!


This weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge was a sketch by moi :) I chose one of the sweet new Lollipops for my card. Ella Lollipop is stamped with mementos ink onto Bella's Bestest Cream paper and coloured with copics. I cut her with the same size nesties as the brown underlay, and just trimmed off where the embossing line is; I do this quite often when I don't want a large border between my layers. I added some glamour dust glitter to the polka dots on her bow and dress.

The DS paper is from Fancy Pant's delight line. I added some chocolate ribbon and some bella's baubles. I didn't have the right colour in the cranberry/red so I coloured clear baubles. It worked perfectly but was a little messy and I of course kept dropping the bauble!

Make sure you pop by Bloggabella today to see all the other cards & remember to check out all the birthday bash stuff on Splitcoast

Have a great day

Sweet Flopsey

I wanted to make a card to wish everyone in the USA a very Happy Thanksgiving so I inked up Sweetie Pie Flopsey because you need pie after a big turkey dinner!

I used Mercy's sketch from this week (MTSC49)but flipped it around to work with my image. Flopsey is stamped with mementos ink & coloured with lyra pencils & prisma colour pencils using odorless mineral spirits. The pie is coloured with copics and I added a clear glaze on with my glaze pen. I paper pieced the pan and chefs hat.

The paper is from my Sept Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions, the ds paper in the package is Bo Bunny's Kitchen Spice. The punch is from EK success called Parisian which I ordered from Stamping Bella and I paper pierced along the edges.

I popped up the brown/rust piece then popped Flosey as well to give lots of dimension to the card.

Enjoy time with your families, eat lots of turkey; we canucks did that last month & are now getting ready for the Grey Cup this weekend (our Super Bowl) For those of you going shopping on Black Friday - good luck!!

Thanks for stopping by

Sweet n Sassy Christmas

I'm still plucking away at my Christmas cards; I am happy to say I only need to make about another 20 and I am done! Funny it's been warm here in Calgary & no snow so everyone is getting their Christmas lights up; last night when I drove home it seemed like most of the neighbourhood has their lights on - makes it easy to find my house, it's the one without!!

I bought this image last year when it was released from MFT, this is how I feel just before Christmas and I don't even have kids!! I have this thing about baking but we really don't eat it so this year I am cutting back (at least that's what I say today!)

WTG Merry Christmas is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics. I added pink and blue stickles to the tree and used pink and red smooch to the packages. The DS paper is Basic Greys Eskimo Kisses. This weeks Sweet n Sassy's challenge (SSS31) was a sketch with a twist - sewing so I stitched around my pink base which I embossed with Quickutz snowflakes. I also stitched along the patterned strip. I added some pink rhinestones to the snowflake and the patterned strips which I cut with my word window punch.

I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card and coloured it with copics, I added clear glaze to the glass.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!!

Leslie & Lorie...

When the new release came out I knew I HAD to have Leslie & Lorie Lulu, they are just too sweet!

I used this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC45) for my inspiration. I stamped the image on Bella's Bestest Cream paper and coloured the image with copics. The DS paper is Basic Greys Indian Summer 6x6 paper. I cut the image with nesties and the border is from Martha Stewart's Scallop Dot border punch. I added stickles to the polka dots, lemon yellow liquid pearl to the fringe on the dress, and used my black glaze pen on their hair.

Bella Bellariffic

This weeks Bellariffic Friday challenge was anything BELLA! It was fun to go back through my Bella's and deciding on which one to ink up.

I knew I wanted to use some new paper I had from Crate paper's Bliss collection and I thought DaisyBella would be perfect. I stamped her onto bella's bestest paper and coloured her with copics. I added some stickles to the flower on her shirt & used atyou spica pens on her hairband. The flower is coloured and popped up and I added a bella bonbon to the centre. I stitched the ds paper and added some flowers using my kajinker.

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see all the beautiful Bellas and remember to leave a comment to win some bella bucks!

Have a great Friday

Pure Sweetness...

I was so excited when I went to the mailbox Tuesday and mixed in with all the junk (bills) was my order from MFT!! Like everyone else I am very impatient when I am waiting for my new stamps and it takes a little longer for them to make their way to Canada!

I wanted to play along with Mercy's sketch this week (MTSC48) so I inked up Snow Day and coloured her with copics. I was smart & made 6 cards to add to my Christmas stash; I find doing 6 an easy number because you can add details to them and it's not overwhelming (hopefully I remember that for next year!). On her pocket and buttons I used my clear glaze pen, and added some clear stickles to the pom poms on her toque (eh!). For the snow I used liquid applique and utra fine glitter.

The card is 9x4 so for my embossed chocolate chip pieces I ran them through the big shot 2x and just matched up the edges; it was easier then I thought. I used Quickutz snowflakes embossing folder. The DS paper is from Bo Bunny's This the Season line which I paper pieced. I added some red ribbon and used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and finish it with a crystal bella bonbon.

Thanks Mercy for another inspiring sketch!

Have a great day -

Digi Birthday Wishes

I finally entered the world of digital stamps this week, I know most of you have been enjoying them for a long time what can I say I'm a little slow at jumping on these great images.

I ordered this sweet Birthday Ian from the Greeting Farm and printed it onto
Neenah paper. I coloured him with copics and used my yellow and clear atyou spica pen on the presents bows and my glaze pen on the paper so the wrapping is shiney in person.

For my inspiration I used this weeks Sweet n Sassy sketch over on The Sweet Stop blog (SSS30). I also played along with the Corrosive Challenge (CCBJ38) this week which was to emboss anything - I used Cuttlebugs Spots & Dots on my base cs. The paper is all from Taylored Expressions Places You Will Go Key Ingredients kit.

Thanks for stopping by - have a fantastic day
