Awww Shucks...

You shouldn't have! These are the sentiments that come with this Stamping Bella stamp. I love these images. Not much coloring with these and they are done and oh so lovely!! I used the nestabilities to make a scallop frame and accented it with Prima flower. I don't know if you can see from this picture, but the flowers on the paper are embossed. Enjoy!

CUTE!

That's what I said when I saw this cutie!! Image is by Stamping Bella,I believe. She's colored in Copics and higlighted with a white gel pen. Dress it Up glitter dots bling it up a bit!

HINT: Use your Nestabilities in a whole new way.....make a frame...and then use it for and embellishment rather than a frame!! FUN!

Gorgeous Prima Flowers and doodling around the image finish the card! I stand by my original reaction...this is just CUTE!! ~michelle~

What a Beautiful Mess!

What a beautiful mess!!! ....reminds me of mine!!!! I love it!!! GRIN!

So here is a little image from Stamping Bella that Heidi handed me all colored....I got to dig and forage in that *beautiful mess* posted above and finish the card! I cut the image out and popped it up on foam tape. The image is colored with Copic Markers and highlighted with both Spica Glitter Pens and a white gel pen. The sentiment is simply cut out and attached with brads.

Hint: Use large abstract patterns as *scenery*. In this case I see mountains! ~michelle~

Birthday Bella!

Check out this little cutie from Stamping Bella! Nestabilities frame her so nicely.

HINT: Use different shapes of Nestabilities to make interesting frames for your images! It's fun to coordinate your frames with your designer papers!

Adhesive pears, glitter dots and prima flowers finish the card. ~michelle~

Stamping Bella Graduation Card

Another Stamping Bella image, they are so much fun to color!! A very simple card....used faux stitching and doodling, ribbon is by The Paper Studio and was perfect for the simple look of the card. The glitter dots are by Dress It Up! You may not be able to see it, but the roses, tassle and scroll are accented with Copic Spica Glitter pens. ~michelle~

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week comes up May 3-9 this year. I have been spending a little time in my son's classroom this year and have been really glad that it's not my lot in life to have to keep those 20 little first grade critters under control all day every day!! *grin!* It has been sweet to see how far each of them has progressed with their reading though....and their pride as it *clicks*

This is a little card I made for his reading teacher. She's about to be off on maternity leave, so I thought I'd just thank her early!

Girl's best friend

Here's a fun card using the Stamping Bellas on the Amuse square cards. I love these cards. They are sooo cute and work well with smaller images. This funky paper is from Creative Imaginations and works great with the fun look I wanted to create. Of course the Prima flowers and gem stone stickers always add the perfect touch!!!

Nestabilities

Here is two samples of my Nestabilities class. I used all stamps from Stamping Bella. By the way, we have a whole new shipment of Bellas along with a few of the kids and her fella. I can't wait to make some cards with these fun stamps. Look for future classes coming up.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day! Here is the card I am giving to my mom. You get a preview. I tried the new Memento ink for the flowers on the background. I loved the colors of the ink. We now carry them at the store in many different colors. The faux stitching is with the new white Inkssential pen. It works GREAT!! The white is so opaque and bold.

Celebrate You!

No Winter Lasts Forever....

Here is a sample of Stamping Bella. Stamping Bellas were popular at the Sayner show on Saturday. We almost sold out. There is another order on it's way from Stamping Bella and they will be here by mid May. Come in and check out new bellas and fellas. The saying stamp was from Lizzie Anne Designs. This set has many neat sayings. I like these unmounted rubber stamps. They stamp like real rubber, but take up a fraction of the space. These stamps are easy to store or to take with you for a stamping night out!
