You ARE My Jam - with Stamping Bella

Hi ya everyone!  I created this card using the adorable Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Loves Jam.  I used my Zigs to watercolor her on Arches 140lb cold press watercolor paper.  I stamped her in memento angel pink ink, let that ink dry and then used zigs and Silver Black Velvet round 6 brush with water to blend.  The patterned paper is from LDRS Creative.  The yellow card stock is from Simon Says Stamps.

SO Loved with Stamping Bella

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing a cute card using the adorable Peony Baby in a Pot from Stamping Bella.  I first stamped the baby in the pot and then masked her.  Next I inked up just the pot of the stamp and stamped to one side.  Next I inked up just the floral part and stamped onto the pot.  I did the same on the other side.  I thought it would be cute to create a fun scene with this stamp so this masking and wiping ink off worked beautifully!  I colored the scene in Copic markers.  Once it was complete I did take my MFT mini edge cloud stencil and some Fiesta Blue Catherine Pooler ink to make a few clouds.

Read - Relax - Repeat with Stamping Bella

Hi ya everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made with the adorable Stamping Bella Curvy Girl multitasker!  Isn't she the cutest?  Perfect for a day of quarantine don't you think.  I made this for my work friend as this stamp looks just like her and her kitty cat.  She's also a super smarty and loves to read.  I colored the scene in Copics and combined her with a stamp set from My Favorite Things called Our Story for the wall shelf, lamp and stack of books.  Enjoy!

Happy Easter with Stamping bella and Catherine Pooler Inks!

Hi ya everyone!  I colored the absolutely adorable Stamping Bella Bundle Girl Bunny with my Catherine Pooler inks!  First I stamp everything in a Twilight Catherine Pooler ink. Then I chose colors from the Party Collection (Lime Rickey, Something Borrowed, Party Dress, Tiki Torch, Tutti Fruity).  I also colored the bunny in Twilight.  

Here's a little trick though...for the sky, I first watercolored with my CP inks before stamping.  Then I went back in with a stencil to help form the clouds.  

Notice how I kept the bottom a bit lighter so that I could stamp and color without affecting the images too much.  You can layer some of the inks, but anything that's too bright really won't work.  But it's nice to get some background color down so you don't have to paint around the images so much.  Make sure that this is completely dry before you start adding color to the images.

Coffee Understands - Stamping Bella and 7 Kids Live

Hi ya everyone!  I created this during a Live Facebook that happens every Saturday at 8pm EST on 7 Kids Customer's Create Page.  I had so much fun and loved the help I got from everyone who joined me.  We decided to ink up this cute Stamping bella Curvy Girl Loves Coffee and color her with our Zigs!

I inked the sky with Catherine Pooler inks in Something Borrowed, Juniper Breeze and Black Jack.  The Life Changing Brushes from Picket Fence Studios are amazing for this technique.   Together, they created a gorgeous blended sky.  I also used Gesso to flick some stars into the sky.  The sentiment is from a Picket Fence Studios set called Coffee Understands and was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Hi ya everyone!  Hope you have had a great weekend.  I got lots of fun crafty projects done and had a full day of relaxation with my hubby too while a friend had our kids.  I feel productive.  I decided to create this cute card using the new Tiny Townie Frida Loves Frosty from Stampingbella.  I picked this cutie up with the Halloween sale at 7 Kids and I suggest you head over there as they are having a sale now too!

I colored her in my Copics and created a fun background as well.  I used my Whimsy Snow Flurry set for the sentiment.  I then went over the whole snowman in Wink of Stella so he'd sparkle.  I finished by putting him on this SUPER CUTE paper from DoodleBug Designs called Milk and Cookies.

I loved coloring this fun image.  I can't wait to share more projects with you this week, so stay tuned!!!

Too Cute Witchy - Stampingbella

Oh my cuteness!!! I love this adorable stamp from Stampingbella called Tiny Townie Hattie Loves Halloween!  How cute is she???  First, I love little witches for Halloween cards, second, I love coloring them in purple and black!  I used my Copics to color the image and then mounted the on this adorable paper from Carta Bella, called Haunted House.



Once she was colored I used my clear sparkle gel pen to add sparkle to her hat and shoes!  I also added some starts to the Copic night sky with a white gel pen and my Copic colorless blender and then a Y21.

I used the adorable sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Boo to You Clear stamp set.  Added some twine and white cotton ribbon.
