BSC18 & WT152 Going Dotty

Purple, Purple and more Purple Dots!!! This card is very loud!!! But it has a Bella on it, that makes is all better. Hehehe. Actually I really don't like this card at all, but thought I would share.


I did 2 challenges in one with this one. On the card base I heat embossed the dots. I was going to just Versa Mark, but I didn't think it showed the dots enough!

BCS19 & Tent Topper

This is the first time I have done a Tent Topper. I think it is a perfect solution to the tall stamped images. And the best thing about these, you don't need a different sized envelope for it. It still fits in a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.!!

For the scalloped edge on the bottom, I cut the DP the size that I wanted then lined up the DP to the bottom edge on the card base, then used the corner rounded and punched through both layers of paper. That way your scallop is the same on both layers!!!

A little tip: The base of the card is 4 1/4 square. Once I was finished the Bella layer, I took another 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card and just lined up the card and the added the Topper to make sure it would be the right size.

Bella Sketch Challenge #17

This is the first time I have done a Bella Sketch Challenge from SCS. What a great idea! You could have a hundred different challenges to do a day. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with them all. I started with the DP and Bella on this one. I am on a Wild Wasabi kick right now. Not sure if you can tell by the picture, but I layered a white shear ribbon and then the green one.

I stamped out a bunch of bella images from my Moms and my collection and did a little swap between us. What a great way to get the images without investing in the stamp.

Does any one else do this?

Stamps: CosmoBella - StampingBella
Cardstock: DP is DCWV - All dressed up, Softsky - SU, Wild Wasabi - SU, Black - SU
Ink: Stazon
Accessories: Ticket corner punch - SU, Ribbon, Bling

Diva In Training!!!! PuppyBella

This one is inspired by 3 things, my little Mya and My mom's little Tia (she is a tiny Yorkie) and the fact that my parents are leaving for Mexico in a week. I wish we could join them ;-(. Again I used Basicgrey DP. The rub-on "Diva in Training" is also basicgrey. I then put the bling on the rub-on, purse and photo corners.

Doggie Bag Bella

Here is my resent creation with my Bella Stamps. http://www.stampingbella.com/ I am sure I will be going back soon to purchase some more. I really love the designer papers from Basicgrey. I even made my Mom buy some on the weekend. Anyway, I thought I would explain a little bit about the scalloped element. As I didn't have the correct punch to punch the center part out the the punch pals set (that is what I use for the "flowers" they are really snowflake) I cut it out with my new Tim Holtz exacto knife.

So, there are 3 scalloped pieces, 1 certainley celery, 2 shimmery white. One the shimmery white without the hole I stamped and then dazzling diamond it.

Stamps: Bella - Parisbella
