Hi everyone! I have two more samples to share today using new stamps coming  to Stamping Bella on September 5.  I also have this week’s challenge.  All are colored with Copic markers (listed below each close-up photo).

First up is Penquin on a Reindeer on a Polar Bear.

My penguin and deer are on a brown bear instead of a polar bear.  It works either way.  🙂

Copic markers – BG13, BG15, BG18, E23, E30, E31, E33, E35, E57, E59, G29, R01, R12, R29, R39, R59, R83, R85, RV32, N7, N9, W00, W1, W2, Y21, YG03, YG06, YG09, YG17, YR12, YR16, YR23; Glossy Accents

After coloring, I added Glossy Accents over each ornament.

Next I’ve used new Rosie & Bernie in a Bus. I love that the sentiment is beach-themed. After coloring, I added dots of snow using a White Pearl Kirarina Wink pen.

Copic markers – B0000, B000, B21, B23, C1, C2, C3, E00, E01, E11, E50, G29, G99, R000, R00, R01, R29, R39, R89, W00, W1, W2, W3, W7, Y21, YG63, YG67; Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen

You can find more in the Rosie & Bernie line here.

Since it’s Friday, I also have our challenge from last week. We were to use images from the latest release. I chose Baseball Squidgy.

I’m not much of a baseball fan, but if I’m going to watch, I’ll choose the Cubs, thus the blue and white, uniform.  🙂

Copic markers – B16, B18, B26, C00, C1, C2, C3, C7, E00, E01, E11, E13, E21, E23, E25, E27, E31, E33, E51, R02

Hi everyone!  I’m back today to share two more samples from Stamping Bella‘s upcoming September 5 release!

Hi everyone.  My last two months have been so insane, I *think* I’m finally seeing a teeny tiny light at the end of the tunnel. With that in mind, both of my cards today are appropriate. It’s time to take a deep breath and do all the things I haven’t had time to do.  #craycray

This week with Stamping Bella, our challenge was to use the color palette found at the bottom of this post.

I used Tiny Townie Mermaid. Isn’t she lovely?

Copic markers – B0000, B000, B00, C1, C2, E00, E01, E11, E31, E35, R00, R01, Y21, YR23; Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen

After coloring with Copic markers (listed above), I white embossed the Under the Sea Sentiment then added sequins and white dots using a Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen.

This is how I felt until yesterday afternoon.  Finally something went right. I may still be on the floor, but I can at least lift my head now. #ithasnotbeenfun #atall

Copic markers – B0000, E00, E01, E11, E31, E35, E37, R01, W00, W1, W2, W3, Y21, YR23, YG01, YG03, YG06

After stamping and coloring The Squidgy Who Couldn’t (markers listed above), I stamped the accompanying sentiment and added a second phrase from The Chicks That “Couldn’t Even.”

Hi everyone! I cannot believe how quickly summer is zipping by! It’s already time for another fun challenge with Stamping Bella.  🙂

This week the team is designing with any current image not from the latest release. I chose Tiny Townie Garden Girl Sweet Pea. I love her.  🙂

After coloring with Copic markers, I added a sentiment using a combination of new Happy dies (I used the smallest of the three) and a stamped sentiment from Tiny Townie Ellie the Elf.

Copic markers – BV00, BV11, BV25, BV34, E00, E01, E11, E31, E35, E37, G28, G43, G46, R01, W00, W1, W2, Y21

Also, yesterday I posted the card below on Instagram.

Squidgy Bookworm was also colored with Copic markers (listed below). Isn’t she adorable?

Hi everyone! It’s time to share Stamping Bella‘s August Stamp of the Month. Tiny Townie Bonnie Loves Bows is 20% off through August 31st. (You can find all of the sweet Tiny Townies here.)

After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers, choosing colors from the pretty patterned paper from Echo Park Have Faith.

The full sentiment reads “Sending You Lots of Hugs.” I chose to use only the word “hugs,” stamping it into the heart.

Also this week, I created a card using one of my favorites from the latest release, Uptown Girl Wilma Loves Wine.

Copic markers – BG10, BG70, E00, E01, E11, E31, E35, E37, R01, V15, V17, W00, W1, Y11, Y21; Kirarina Wink White Pearl

Once colored, I added a pattern of white dots using a Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen.
