Stamp Oddball Hermes onto blending card, colour and fussy cut around the outline. 

Cut a piece of double sided paper measuring 11.75″ x 7.5″. Score on the long side at 1.25″, 5.25″, 6.5″ and 10.25″, and on the short side at 1.25″ and 6.25″

Fold on all the score lines and crease well with a bone folder. 

Snip a wedge from each side of the centre 1.25″ tabs and the inner side of the four corner tabs. 

Fold the centre tabs inward and apply adhesive. Bring up one side of the box and adhere at a right angle. Repeat on both sides. 

Adhere the four corner tabs to the insides of the each end to form the box shape.

Cut some layers using dies. 

Stamp the sentiment from Encouragement Sentiments set onto one of the paper layers.  Adhere all the layers down and then adhere the Oddball Hermes using foam tape or dots. 

Fill the box with snacks and gift cards. 

This has to be one of my favourites from our Amy Glatiotis Collection stamps. It’s just such a sweet and sentimental image.

Hello everyone! Spring is officially here, so what else than a spring card for my post today? I love the Spring Backdrop stamp from our latest release so I thought I would create a scene with it. I combined it to the adorable Bundle Girl is a Flower stamp, so that she would be looking at some flowers. I didn’t do any masking (I can be lazy at times ;)), I only inked half of the Spring Backdrop stamp and I made the horizon line longer using a multiliner. At last, I added a sentiment from the Hello Spring sentiment set.

Happy Friday! We’re back with more Bellarific inspiration today to take us into the weekend. This week the Babes had a sketch to follow from our mojoBella archive!

Here’s the sketch:

The Cards!

Love the bright colours Jenny used for this Whimsabella. Also loving that Jenny partially stamped our “hello spring” sentiment – one of my favourite things to do, to stretch sentiments and get more use from them.

Stamps Used:

Such a gorgeous Spring card from Steph. Cherry blossoms are among my favourites, and she has coloured our little Tiny Townie beautifully. Love that paper pieced dress too! Steph also used a partial sentiment, which works so beautifully here.

Stamps Used:

I had to usher my first bee of the year out of my craft room yesterday. It always makes me so happy to see them appearing, but I definitely prefer them out in the garden! LOVE this card from Delphine, such a gorgeous little scene for our Tiny Townie!

Stamps Used:

Debra went with one of our beautiful Tiny Townie Garden Girl stamps, and I love the colours and the collage background. So pretty.

Stamps Used:

Ginger went with a beach theme featuring one of our Curvy Girl stamps, and I love it! Another partial sentiment – I love chopping sentiments up as Ginger has here, to arrange them however. It really fits the fun collage style.

Stamps Used:

The Tiny Townie Butterfly Girl stamps are an enduring favourite. Love the colours Michele chose here. So lovely.

Stamps Used:

Sandie went with one of our new Baby stamps for a cute new baby card.

That’s it for today! Hopefully you’re feeling inspired to go and create. Don’t forget to leave us a comment below with some love for our Babes and all their hard work.

Flitterfly Spring Seeds Gift Bag

Stamps:

Whimsabella Flitterfly 

Spring Backdrop

Hello Spring Sentiments set

How to:

Mask Whimsabella Flitterfly so that she appears to be sitting on the tree stump on the Spring Backdrop.  Fussy cut around the whole piece. 

Cut 2 pieces of double sided paper measuring 7″ x 5.75″. Score on the 7″ side at 1.5″ and 5.75″. Flip 90 degrees and score at 1.25″ and 4.75″. This makes a gift back that is 4.25H x 3.25W x 1.25D

Fold and burnish all the score lines. Fold back the 1.5″ section and crease well. 

On one piece, cut on the 5.75″ score lines from the edges in to the intersecting score line. Taper in the edges of the tab. 

On the second piece, remove the 1.25″ squares in the bottom corner and taper the edges of the centre section. This will be adhered to the inside of the first section to create one long piece (see below)

Fold back the tabs and apply adhesive. Fold up one side of the bag and adhere to the tabs. 

Apply adhesive to the side sections of the other side of the bag and adhere inside. 

Trim  the outer sections of the 1.5″ piece as shown below.  

Apply adhesive to the trimmed tabs and slide in under the opposite side. Repeat on both sides. 

Pinch in both sides of the bag. 

Cut some stitched circles to make a decorative panel for the box front. Stamp the Hello Spring! sentiment from the Hello Spring Sentiments set and cut out using a circle die. cut the top off the sentiment circle. 

Arrange the circles on the front of the box then adhere the image down using foam tape or dots. 

Grab some seed packs – these measure 3″ x 4.75″. I made the box a little shorter so that the seeds are peeking out the top. Pop them into some tissue paper and place in the bag.
