Bubbly Birthday

This card was made for a friend for her Mum's birthday. I love this Bella stamp.

Baby Blue Star

This is a card I made for one of my cousins on the birth of her second son. Base card - Papermania, using Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder. The image and sentiments are from Stamping Bella and I used blue grosgrain ribbon.

Pink Feet

I am on our local NCT branch committee and one of the committee members has just had a little girl. So, I made her a pink and white card. The base card is pink Papermania card and white Brazzil Basics card. I used Nesties for the image and embossed two little feet using my Cuttlebug. I rubbed some pink chalk over the feet to highlight them. The sentiment is by Stamping Bella and the ribbon by Joy. The picture's not great - it is really difficult to get the pale pinks.

My Dad's Birthday

This is the card I made for my dad's birthday, which is today. The base card is two different shades of Brazzil Bling with a strip of blue Papermania ribbon. The sentiment is Stamping Bella, layered with Brazzil Bling. The "Dad" is die cut using my Cuttlebug. I added a Craftwork Cards mini birthday message.

My Brothers Birthday

I made this card for my brother's birthday - the layout is inspired by one of Michelle's cards. The base card is blue Papermania card embossed with my Cuttlebug. The dark blue card is Brazzil Basics. The image is a Sizzix die cut, I have used Papermania designer blue pack for the base present and overlaid with a Brazzil Bling "ribbon". The sentiment is Stamping Bella.

Purple Wednesday

Well I got a chance to do some crafting tonight! Seems like weeks since I had time to do anything creative! I decided to make a couple of purple themed cards. I also used some of my new mini messages from Craftwork Cards - they are great!

I made this card for a one of my oldest and dearest friends. She is waiting for some good news and I wanted to send her something to let her know my thoughts are with her. The base papers are from Papermania purple designer pack layered with Papermania card in dark purple and lilac. I added a purple prima flower secured with a Papermania flower brad. I added 4 purple gems in the each corner and a Craftwork Cards mini message.

For this card, I wanted to try out paper piecing - so Cakeabella's apron is done in this way. I also did the cake in purple card and added a bit of sparkle with my Sakura pen. I coloured the rest of her with coloured pencils. The base is purple Brazzil Basics and daisy paper by Scissor Sisters. I added a purple prima flower with a button in the middle. Lastly a cute flutter message by sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Cute Image from Nessy

Made this card tonight using one of the cute images that Nessy sent me. The background is lilac Brazzil Basics card. I coloured the image using coloured pencils and layered her with lilac BB card. Down the right-hand side, I have interwoven 4 strips of blue and purple flowery ribbon. The Stamping Bella sentiment is stamped using black Brilliance ink, layered with more lilac BB card. I added a small purple Prima flower and a small Papermania gem to finish!

A Star is Born

One of my friends had a gorgeous baby boy last week and this gave me an opportunity to try out some more of my new Stamping Bella stamps. I used 4 different types of ribbon (1st and 3rd - Anita's sticky ribbon, 2nd - Joy Crafts, 4th - a blue gingham from Papermania). I stamped Baby Bella Hanging Bundle on to white card and layered this with baby blue card. I coloured him with coloured pencils and Whispers Brush Markers and attached him to the card using 3D foam pads. I then stamped the Bella sentiment using a Brilliance black ink pad.

Blue Bella

My Stamping Bella stamps arrived last week and I couldn't wait to try them out. I'm not altogether happy this card. The backaround paper is from Papermania Designer Blues pack. I have stamped Prezzibella on to white card and coloured her with Whispers Brush Markers and coloured pencils. The sentiments is Stamping Bella MC stamped using black ink on to white card. I have layered both Bella and the sentiment with dark blue card stock and attached to the card with 3D foam pads. Finally I have attached a white and blue flower with small red Papermania brads.
