Hello. It’s Friday so that means it’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella! This week I used Hedgie and His Acorns from The Littles Fall Collection.

We were to use this sketch for inspiration:

I like to keep my designs pretty simple so I used the same pattern for each block surrounding the main/focal square.

Copic markers – E08, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E47, G21, G24, G94, YR12, YR14, YR15

After Hedgie was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers then die-cut using his coordinating die.

I stamped the sentiment, from Fall Sentiment Set, onto a block of white card stock then trimmed the bottom to a flag shape. To easily die-cut the stitched edge, I placed the sentiment strip just over one side of a stitched square die and ran it through my Big Shot.

Next week’s challenge is to incorporate circles into our design.  Use any current Stamping Bella image then email your card to [email protected] by next Thursday to be featured on the SB blog and to be entered to win some Bella Bucks! (All challenge details can be found HERE.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi everyone! Today I have my last sample to share from Stamping Bella‘s upcoming October 10 release. All stamps and dies will be available for purchase tomorrow!

Today I’ve used new Fa La La with a Holiday Sentiment.

Once colored with Copic markers, I “hung” two jingle bells from the tiny racoon’s arm. (He’s so cute!) I also added sparkle to the snowflakes by coloring over each with a Clear atyouSpica glitter pen.

Hi everyone! I have five samples to share today using some of Stamping Bella‘s upcoming release. I know it’s a lot but I couldn’t stop. 🙂  All stamps and dies will be available for purchase on Tuesday, October 10. (There is a LOT of cuteness so consider that a warning…)

First, I used Little Bits Santa & His Reindeer with Winter Tree & Deerball.  (I’ll save the deerball for another post. It’s really cute and funny.)

I also used a sentiment from new Holiday Sentiments. The North Pole sign is one of the stamps from Skating Quartet.

Hi everyone! It’s another Bellarific Friday with Stamping Bella! This week the team is sharing samples using October’s Stamp of the Month, Uptown Girl Kitty Loves Halloween. She, along with the coordinating sentiment, is 20% off through October 31st.

I colored the image with Copic markers, as usual then added a simple dotted border using a Lime Green Kirarina Wink pen. (I also used a ruler because my “straight lines” aren’t always so straight.)

The metallic ink in Kirarina Wink pens allows you to add color to a variety of surfaces including paper, photos, plastic and glass.  When working on a porous surface, such as paper, the pen should be moved slowly in order for the ink to absorb. I previously used Kirarina Wink on black card stock. The color is so vibrant!

Copic markers – BG10, BV04, BV08, C00, C2, C3, C4, G19, E00, E01, E11, E31, E33, E35, Y21, YG06, YG09, YR04, YR18

Once I had assembled my card, I decided to also add a bit of patterned background using Lime Green and Purple Kirarina Wink pens.  So you can see the color looks great on both light and dark card stock (but especially awesome on dark)!  I plan to make my own black envelope and use the pens to address, with a bit of doodling too!

To finish my card, I created a tag, adding the “fa” and “lous” to each side of the “boo” sentiment. Lastly, I tied in a bit of Queen & Company‘s bright Green Sparkle String.

Next week’s challenge is to use this {Mojo}Bella sketch:
