But our wobble doesn’t complain.  SHE NEVER complains… unlike some yellow feathered friends I know who WOULD (I’m not saying any names)… and that FLOWER?  *sigh*.  Again a GREAT spring card, Easter card.. or ANYDAYOFTHEYEAR card!

Hiya sistahs!

Well today is another one of my favorite reveals.. sheesh.  Every day is.. first because I get to bond with you… and second because I love these images 🙂 LOL

So today we have 2 Uptown girls

First is CURLY CLARA needs your address.  We had Tiny Townie Anabelle in our last release and because she was so popular, we needed to add a “curly” to the collection!

So please meet CURLY CLARA needs your address 🙂

This image is SO useful.. whether you address your envelopes with her.. (put the address in the speech bubble).. label your presents.. send happy mail.. she is amazing!  But what else is amazing is the fact that you can put her on a card.. write a personal message in the speech bubble.. a quote, a saying, an inside joke.. or stamp your favorite sentiment in there.. the options are ENDLESS!

 

curlyclara

and the fact that she has a DIE you can punch holes and tie as a tag? ooohh my wheels are TURNING.

SO Clara has a die offered A LA CARTE

curlyclaraweb

and as a BUNDLE at 15% off! YIPPPPEEEEEE!

curlyclara

CURLYCLARALESLIE

And now for our second sneak of the day!  We have UPTOWN GIRL MELANIE the MODERN BRIDE.  Yes we have Brigitte the bride .. who is a classic bEEyOOtiful bride.. you can see here HERE.. but we thought we would introduce someone a bit more modern.. shorter dress.. wilder flowers… she could be for a second marriage or a less traditional first.  I LOVE MELANIE!! Ahem and check out that ROCK!

Ahhh… Melanie makes me wanna get married all over again… oh and reminds me that I need to lose 50++ pounds LOL. hmph.

Hiya sistahs!

WOOHOO let the festivities continue!  This is always my favorite part…. feeling SO connected to da sistahood.  Please leave a comment.. I so love getting them and reading each one.. I bore my kids to death reading them all to them but I know deep down inside they are proud 🙂 So keep them coming!  And to have a free chance to win a die and stamp set?  That’s a win win for BOFE (both) of us.  In case you are just getting to know me.. you will realize there is a special language and some made up Bella words so just humour me 🙂

Today we have 4… count ’em  4 sneak peeks.  That means 4.. count ’em 4.. sistahs will win 1 of the 4 stamp and die bundles we are presenting today.. Ok.. are your fingers nice and rested to type a comment?  do you have your favorite hot or cold beverage to sip?  a kleenex to wipe up the dribble?  Ok good.  so we are ready to go!

It’s snowing here in Toronto so I felt the NEED to show you some springy images 🙂

Our COOL CHICKS have developed their own fan base LOL.. they are very naughty but lovable ( I thought there was an e in lovable but i got a squiggly line under the whole word so I took it out.  Shouldn’t there be an E in lovEable?  Im gonna write Merriam Webster and have them recheck LOL)..  It’s amazing how a simple little image.  How a LINE really can be so expressive.. isn’t it amazing?  These chicks are little dumplings with squishy eyes but they tell SUCH a story.  I swear they remind me of minions.  If I had to describe their little personalities I would say they are great friends to each other  for sure.  They DO get into a lot of trouble within their own group and with others  but they REALLY don’t mean it.  Bella promise.  They mean well.  They have good intentions .. but somehow.. they voice their opinion (even when we don’t ask.. you will see that in a future image this week).. they get into STUFF when no one asked them to.. and they are a bit DRAMATIC.  you’ll see what I mean.

As usual ALL of our WEB IMAGES are coloured by the AMAZING Elaineabella aka MARKER GEEK… Let’s give a round of applause 🙂

Enough Bella BLABLA.. here we go .  Take 2.

Here we actually have a Cool chick who is behaving and minding his own BIDNISS… just carrying his trail of hearts and delivering it to a deserving recipient.  Now listen, he may not be THAT innocent.  Im not sure where he FOUND this banner.. perhaps it was a part of a bigger art piece and he decided to take what he needed?  PERHAPS it belonged to someone else?  I dunno.. but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.   This is SUCH a great image for ALL YEAR ROUND heart day don’t you think?  he’s SO proud of his flower and string of hearts I just HAVE to think he made the “heart train” and picked the flower.  Yes FOR sure.  And his SENTIMENT?  *LOVE*

marchingchick

This little chicklet will also be available as a DIE “A LA CARTE”

marchingchickWEB

And as a BUNDLED package with the stampy at 15% off!

marchingchickBUNDLE

How’s About some AMAZINGLY STUNNING samples using this little chicklet?

Here’s Lesliebella’s Springy and fresh gorgeous card

marchingchick2LESLIEBELLA

I think Lesliebella loved this image so much she had to show you another way to use this stamp.. by STRINGING THE HEARTS!  LOVE LOVE LOVE

marchingchickLESLIEBELLA

and here’s a close up of the GLOSSY ACCENTED (yes that’s a verb to “glossy accent” something sheesh).. look at these hearts!!

marchingchickLESLIEBELLACLOSEUP

and another way to use the sentiment inside the card 🙂  BEEYOOTIFUL!  It can even be the outside of the card, this sentiment is so amazing 🙂

marchingchickLESLIEBELLAINSIDE

TracyMACabella used this image in her AMAZINGLY happy card… love her doodle frame around the image and sentiment.. and the papers.. *sigh*

marchingchickTRACYBELLA

Now let me introduce GARDENING CHICKS… I mean those of you sistahs who love to garden, may not want these visitors in your garden.  Again.. they wanted to help garden..  water.. dig.. whatever needed to be done.. but then came a bit of DRAMA… (note the one on the right) and a bit of PLUCKING.. (note all of them).. and ok.. so they got a bit carried away.  hmph.  This image would be amazing for any gardener in your life.. anybody who needs a pick me up.. just an all year round card :).. I Can’t.  and I don’t think the one on the right CAN EITHER.

gardeningchicksWEB

This image will also have it’s own die A LA CARTE

gardeningchicksWEB

and they will be available in a bundle at 15% off!

gardeningchicksBUNDLE

and now for some AMAZING CREATIONS!

Here’s Angelabella’s fun and springy creation!  (please note the grass because that is coming in another post 🙂 )

GARDENINGCHICKSangela

Here’s Kerribella’s card with different coloured flowers.. LOVE how you can change this image up (but you can’t change the chicks.. because they CAN’T)

gardeningchicksKERRIBELLA

Here’s Shelabella’s card  using perfect highlights and gorgeous white space

gardeningchicksMICHELE

1 image.. 3 cards.. 3 looks…  I think I drooled a little.

BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE!

Again for the gardener in your life.. or a pal.. I love creating images that are good for ANYONE.. they are so ADAPTABLE!  I no likey having a stamp that can only suit 1 purpose.  No likey AT ALL.

Ok so this little chick got lost from his pack.  I have a feeling they were playing hide and seek and he got a bit carried away.  AGAIN.  hmph.

buddingchickWEB

see what I mean?  Even the SNAIL is looking at him and saying UMMMM…. And the little dirt on his head?  I can’t.  And guess what?  The snail is a separate stamp and will be a SEPARATE die so you can use him on his own or play and make a scene!  (I love making scenes.  BOTH KINDS on a card and in real life.  ask my kids.)

Like I said , BUDDING CHICK will be available in a die A LA CARTE (so 3 dies including a separate one for mr snaily)

buddingchickWEB

and it will be available as a BUNDLE at 15% off!

buddingchickBUNDLE

And now for some FABBY CREATIONS!

Here’s TracyMACabella’s card with her famous DOODLE outline.. tag and gorgeous colouring!  Love this simple card!

buddingchickTRACYMAC

and NOW for Danabella’s Card  BEAUTIFUL!! and I just love the Daffodil.. the symbolism behind the daffodil… I just smell spring.  Umm so does our chick.

buddingchickDANA

Ok Emily, you can stop now.. you’re saying.. it’s ENOUGH.. WE CAN’T!  Oh yes my friends you CAN.. take a looky!

Meet Cherry Chick.  Again.. a bit of  a lost soul.. He needed a nibble and of course got carried away. AGAIN.

cherrychickWEB

THE LIPS SISTAHS… THOSE LIPS?  I cannot.  They need gloss.  They need something.  The cherries? the colander?  ARGH.. and the sentiment?  That sentiment would also be great with EDNA LOVES ICE CREAM don’t you think?    The great thing about this set too is that the cherries are a separate stamp AND a separate die!  So you can use it’s own.. or create a scene.. (see above comment about scenes . hmph).. I JUST LOVE this stamp.

This stamp will be available as a die A LA CARTE (cherries, main image and sentiment)

cherrychickWEB

and as a BUNDLE at 15% off!

cherrychickBUNDLE

And now for some inspiration with this stamp?

Here’s TRACYMACabella’s card.  How beautiful AND elegant and FUN!

cherrychicktracymac

What would you do if you walked into your  kitchen and found this happening on your counter LOL.  I think I would dive in next to him!

 

Well, that’s it for today because any more and I would faint.  or drop dead from being over inspired (do you think that could ACTUALLY happen? LOL)

 

We are going to pick 4 winners on this post.. each winner will receive one random stamp and die bundle (randomly picked by me).. for placing a comment on this post 🙂

ALL of these images and dies will be available on FEB 23d for purchase!

LTTC (let the torture continue)

#77- HEATHER A- you win EDNA with A CUPCAKE ON TOP

#91- JEANNEAN M. Edna LOVES ICE CREAM

 

Hiya sistahs!

Boy oh boy what an overwhelming response to yesterday’s sneak peek!  You Sistahs, totally blew me away!  I am SO SO happy you loved yesterday’s images.  Makes my heart sing!  What I’m also happy about is the overwhelming response about dies!   WOOHOOO!!!!

Ok you sitting down?

Because I need to introduce you to my VERY OWN… PERSONAL… Fairy Godmother named EDNA.  Yes.  EDNA.  The second I saw her, I knew she was mine.. and I knew that HAD to be her name..  I also knew she would watch over me.. and make me laugh.  Don’t tell anyone but..I even know what her voice sounds like.  She may be British.

I told you my stamps are HUMAN. 😉

Of course I have a story… When I was younger (there goes that 70’s inner child again).. I used to watch the Flintstones religiously.  And I LOVED the GREAT GAZOO.  Remember him?  He called Fred DUMB DUMB LOL.. but he always managed to be there when the 2 goofballs needed him. LOL.. I LOVED the great gazoo.  In case you don’t know him or need a refresher, here he is

gazoo

Ok while he doesn’t LOOK like Edna LOL.. He still symbolizes what Edna is to me :)..

Another thing about Edna is that she is also pudgy and delicious.  For YEARS I have had sistahs asking me for a plus ‘ish size character.. I mean I am one LOL so why not have one in our arsenal?  The reason was that it took years to develop EDNA.  Once I saw her, I knew she would be the one to represent!  She is so sweet and not only does her character remind me of the gazoo.. but her “look” is kind of like a pinup girl.  I know.. what a combo LOL

pinup

You’re probably saying What the HECK can a pinup character crossed with the Great Gazoo look like?  I bet you’re worried.

Ok I cannot blabla anymore because I am WORRYING MYSELF.  and that’s NOT GOOD haha.

Meet EDNA with a CUPCAKE On TOP

ednawithacupcakeontopWEB

I mean.  HAVE YOU EVER?  THOSE LEGS?  her PROPORTIONS?  I can’t.  WILL NOT.  WON’T.  I want to eat HER.. never mind the cupcake.  I wanna colour her.. I wanna have her on my shoulder AT ALL TIMES.

Edna is a free spirit.  She doesn’t care what people think.. she gives her opinions when they aren’t asked for.

OMGGGGG.. I think I’m EDNA!!!

Edna will also have her matching die sold A LA CARTE

ednawithacupcakeontopWEB

And Edna with a cupcake on top will be offered as a BUNDLED set at 15% off (stamp + die)

ednawithacupcakeontop

Again, the sentiment dies are a standard clean shape so you can use it for other things too!

 

Now how’s about (who says HOW’S ABOUT?)  some samples using this little vixen? LOL

Here’s SANDIEBELLA’s card

(notice the grass under her feet?  Ya well.. I can’t tell you about that right now.. but you just wait and watch out for a post on that grass…  it’s EARTH SHATTERING (get it?  grass? earth? LOL)  and brilliant ifidosaysomyself… it’s going to be on one of our posts this week.  stay TOONED)

ednawithacupcakeontopSANDIEBELLA

And here’s ALICEWERTZABELLA’s card

ednawithacupcakeontopALICE

Edna will also have her corresponding “a la carte” die

#332 CINDY POTENTIER- YOU WIN BECKY LOVES BUNNY WOBBLES!

#3 REBEKKAH- you win BONNIE LOVES BOWS

 

 

 

Happy Happy Valentines day sistahs!  Starting our sneak peeks on Valentines day is a bit ironic.  See,  come of this release was intended FOR Valentines day but we had a bit of a delay in releasing them on time… Now to be honest, to me , Valentines day, heart stamps.. hearts in general, LOVE.. should be celebrated every day.  I also think that if I look at all of my releases, they kind of go for Valentines day too LOL.. because that’s just who. we. are. 

I received an email from a sistah once saying.. I LOVE your stamps but do you think you can lay off some of the hearts? LOL… and I said…….. NO WAY HOSE-AY (Jose to be technical)… there is no way we will ever compromise our aesthetic.  This is WHO WE ARE.. We are an all year round Valentines day company LOL. ok?

So without further ADOOO, get a cuppa java.. and a kleenex for the dribble..  Our Baberoonis worked so hard on this release with me.  Elaineabella colored ALL of our images of course.  I hope you love them as much as I do 🙂

First up…

Meet Tiny Townie BECKY loves BUNNY WOBBLES.  I mean really.  Emily.. BUNNY WOBBLES?  There HAS to be a  story about them.  And ummm.. this is the story. When I was little I had a toy called the WEEBLES… someone told me they still exist.  the weeble’s catchphrase was “weebles wobble but they don’t fall down”.. yes I was a 70’s baby.

weebles

ANYWAY, I digress.  now when I saw these images, I thought WEEBLE right away.. but how can I call them WEEBLES without getting in trouble?  So I called them WOBBLES.  I showed THEM LOL.  Now you are just getting a glimpse of the wobble in this image but you will meet them up closer and more personal on a future sneak peek.  You will fall in love with them. PROMISE.

Now our tiny townies.. do I need to introduce them again?  I think they speak for themselves.  Enough BLABLA.. take a looky!

ALL OF THESE IMAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE ON FEBRUARY 23d for PURCHASE!  Until then, I TORTURE.. ok?  I need to give you time to think, and decide.. and drool.. and want to come back to see me for more torture, and thoughts and drool, no?

Meet TINY TOWNIE BECKY LOVES BUNNY WOBBLES.  I mean the hanging feet.  THE wobble FEET!!!! those feet?  the little mooshy gooshy faces? I can’t even.  and it’s hard to find a “FROM ALL OF US card no?

beckylovesbunnywobblesWEB

Another feature with this release is we will be offering DIES with all of the images!! Yup dies.

A la carte dies.  What’s nice about all of our SENTIMENT dies, you will notice.. is that they are a clean shape.. meaning you can fit any of your sentiments in them 🙂

beckylovesbunnywobblesWEB

or BUNDLE sets with a 15% discount 🙂

beckylovesbunnywobbles

The choice is yours!

Now for some inspiration!

UMM.. have you ever?  I haven’t.  I JUST LOVE this image!!  (ok I’m partial but really.. )

 

Now for our next image… Have you ever watched DANCE MOMS?  Yes, it’s one of my guilty pleasures..  Anyway there’s a little girl named JO JO.. they call her JO JO with a BOW BOW.. because she always wears these HUGE bows LOL.  I was gonna name this image COCO with a bow bow.. LOL But I refrained.

Meet TINY TOWNIE Bonnie loves BOWS.  I mean seriously, how much fun are these bows to COLOUR??  Shes holding a heart but again like I said, we should create LOVE cards every single day .. you with me sistahs?

Meet BONNIE LOVES BOWS..

Hope you’re still with me sistahs!  Tomorrow is the big day where you can go BELLA WILD LOL!

5 sneak peeks today!

This first one is one of my favorites and I have been hinting to it for the last 2 weeks… Now just bear with me.  You may not understand it right away… but just wait.  One of my close friends emailed me THIS article.. some parts are a bit lewd.. some are bit risque.. so read at your own risk.  I myself was CRYING laughing so hard… Ok so next step in the process… I start using I CANT EVEN every day.. and I start liking it.  Third step.. start using it with Elaineabella daily.. 4th step.. discuss with Elaineabella which of our characters would depict the “I CANT EVEN” the best… 5th step.. took Elaine’s idea of having the COOL CHICKS represent it… 6th step.. FLEW with it and worked with Chrystal on it and 7th step.. GOT THE BEST IMAGES EVAH. LOL.

oh and 8th step? walked through WALMART and saw this shirt and KNEW it was meant to be :). Seriously.  I just COULDN’T.  (you can change the verb tense freely if you would like to.. this would be the past tense of I just can’t… TOTALLY passable 🙂 )

?

Ok so how do I explain this term… I can’t even.  It is either SUPER amazing.. or SUPER horrible.. the fact that you “can’t EVEN” means the situation is WAY past the “toleration point” LOL for example… My child is throwing a hissy fit.. I look at my husband in despair and I say “I just CAN’T”.. I don’t need to explain further.. he takes over.   I go into a stamp store with a friend.. I look around me and then I look at my friend and say “I CAN’T EVEN..”.. she knows I am overwhelmed and excited… does it make sense? LOL.. you’ll see.. you’ll start using it.

Ok so without further ADO.. let me introduce you to “THE CHICKS WHO COULDN’T EVEN”.. I am warning you that they are WAY dramatic.. They TOTALLY CANNOT AND WILL NOT.. LOL.

Those faces.. the one on the wall.. the one on his side and the one on his tummy? OMG.. they make me so happy.  BUT DON’T despair if you just “CAN’T” with the sentiments.. I put these in for my own selfish reasons :)… You can use these chicks for ANY occasion.. bad day… needing to cope.. I’m sorry..LOL..  I LOVE THESE CHICKS!!

the-chickswhocouldntevenFINAL

 

I just stuck them in my journal to make me smile every time I open it which is often 🙂

this entry I just wrote that this is how my daughter felt after her hockey game today LOL.. She just couldn’t.  This is in my “FAUXDORI” notebook with “MIDORI” inserts.. my favorite planner/journalling system ever 🙂

chickbrickwallemily chickright chickwontever

Ok our next set is a MINI ENVELOPE ACCENT collection .. also from our Mister Postie Line.. these are TEENY TINY and SOOO MUCH FUN!!  the “DO NOT CRUMPLE and DO NOT TOSS” and the paper airplane icons are my favorite LOL.. who am I kidding.. I LOVE THEM ALL!  And the words are all separated from the icons.. so you can use these on anything!  your post it notes.. journals.. mini NOTELETS (lol I just had to.. I couldn’t NOT)

minienvelopeiconsFINAL

And a little sample I threw together

minienvelopeaccentsEMILY

On the above envelope I also used the OPEN ME border from our OPEN ME (Mister Postie collection).. seriously that BIRD?  the UMMM HI?  The happy mail enclosed?  YUMMALICIOUSNESS.. Im gonna use these like CUH-RAZY.

openme

I also used the OPEN ME on the package I sampled on the post 2 days ago.  I LOVE that stamp!

and FINALLY we have EDWARD the EDGY BUNNY.  Now why is he edgy you ask?  Well he’s kind of a “goth” bunny LOL… I was a bit spooked by his eyes at first and then I said I wouldn’t have him ANY OTHER WAY.. he’s ADORABLE as is as an envelope embellishment… SEEE? And the snail mail is from YET another set see below!

snailmailemily

Now if you are spooked by his eyes, I made a cute little row of different Edwards by adding “eyeballs” in myself 🙂  LOVE. (if you click on him, you will see 4 different Edwards)

edwardenvelope

I also whipped up a cute little EDWARD CARD!

edwardcard

So that’s Edward

Here’s CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ENVELOPE ACCENTS

christmasspiritenvelopeaccents

These are the CUH-YOU-TEST (had to write phonetically LOL) little itty bitty stamps you have ever seen. AND THAT SEAL?  Who needs wax? LOL

These 6 stamps are so versatile.. to decorate your envies, packages, boxes for Christmas.. to make place cards for your dinner table.. to make little NOTELETS (yes I am OBSESSED with this word).. tags.. cards.. . get my point?

First of all.. can we discuss the “wax” seal?  I am obssessed and I think I need a seal for  every holiday now.. LOL

*** please note that I just got my stamps yesterday so these are VERY quick samples I whipped up just to show you how to use them:)****

I mean.. HELLO… is this not the cutest thing ever? LOL (it’s the little things sistahs…)

christmasspiritSEALbackofenvelopeEMILY

Then I decorated the front of an envie with the gift stamp from this new Christmas Spirit set and a sentiment from THIS set (I got a LITTLE carried away with my white prismacolor pencil.. I just get tingles when I see the white JUMP off the manila envie…  You’re learning A LOT about me this release ay? LOL)

christmasspiritenvelopeENVELOPE

Here’s a little set of gift tags I made VERY quickly just to show you how cute and small these stamps are 🙂

christmasspiritenvelopeiconsTAGSEMILY

There are SO many more possibilities.. I just got started 🙂

Now for the next image for today?

Meet UPTOWN GIRL CHRYSTAL’S Christmas Label

chrystalschristmaslabelFINAL

Another amazing image ready for all of your packages, envelopes or cards!

Again, I just got my stamps so please forgive the sloppy samples LOL

Again with the white prismacolor pencil LOL.. I paper pieced her dress.. did some white highlights.. now just have to address the envelope.  Even if you leave her all in black ink and color the candy cane or just her dress.. it’s up to you.. the sky’s the limit!
chrystalenvelopeemily

I bought a kraft box from the dollar store.. I trimmed scrapbook  paper to fit the top  and then I got this gorgeous paper that I am obssessed with called TOMOE RIVER paper.. got a ream of it LOL.. I bought it from NANAMI paper .. an amazing stationery shop with lots of goodies from Japan (I am a HUGE stationery NERD).. anyway this paper is amazing for fountain pen ink.. it is very thin.. and it takes watercolor too..  so I decided to stamp on it and color just bits here and there..  this paper is luscious.   It’s like a vellum.. I wanna lick it 🙂 (toldja I was a nerd)

chrystalboxemily

Despite my sloppiness, I hope I have inspired you today!

WANNA WIN BOTH OF THESE???

This is gonna be an INSANE post full of samples.. full of inspiration.. so might I suggest a hot beverage? (said like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory)

Today’s sneak peek is a new concept to Stamping Bella… I have called it the “MISTER POSTIE” line… I LOVE snail mail.  I LOVE receiving packages and goodies and letters in the mail.  Sometimes I order things JUST to get a package in the mail that I can tear open like these chicks open a gift (I am the one in the middle box with feet sticking out) (did I just say that out loud?)

I also love sitting down and creating goodies for my friends.. whether it be a POCKET LETTER .. a little package sent.. a note etc.  I must admit I am so guilty of WANTING to do this more often and not DOING.  SO I have made a vow to try to do it more often…. and now not only is it fun to decorate what you are sending on the INSIDE of the letter… but what if I told you I had stamps to decorate the OUTSIDE of the letter… the envelope!  Why should the fun end when the envelope or box is sealed?  In all honesty you can can decorate your envelope with ANY of our stamps.. but I made little cute ones to make it even MORE fun..

wanna see????

Ok.

Here is our UPTOWN SEAL OF APPROVAL set from the MISTER POSTIE line..

uptownsealofapprovalFINAL

I couldn’t resist making some samples to show you what I mean!

Here I decorated a manila shipping envelope with this stamp set.. had SO much fun.  Colored them in directly with my Prismacolor pencils (pencils POP on manila and KRAFT).. used some washi tape.. and stamped randomly.  I could have gone a little crazier but I had to control myself 🙂

uptownsealofapproval3emily

Here I used just the Uptown “seal”, punched with a 1.25″ circle punch and placed it on the back of the envelope with some washi just for an extra “touch” (coloured quickly with copics)

uptownsealofapproval2EMILY

And here I decided to make a little 4*4 card using our little uptown seal.. so sweet for a set of little “notelets” (i love that word-not sure it really exists or not LOL)..I am so inspired by our very own AliceWERTZabella on how she layers her papers..  i’m testing out the waters.. will take me a while!

uptownsealofapproval4emily

In the first DO NOT BEND sample  I just wanted to show you how you can create movement/design with the stamps and for the second sample I created my own background for with the Happy Mail stamp.. ready to put the address over it!

uptownsealofapproval1EMILY

 

The options are ENDLESS with this little set!  Stay tuned for more fun 🙂  I LOVE THESE!

 

Now for our next sneak peek we have TINY TOWNIE PENELOPE has a PENCIL

penelope

Still on the same theme of snail mail… you can stamp her right on your envelopes.. SHE IS EDIBLE… Or you can make gorgeous cards with her like our AMAZING Design team has!

Here is SHELABELLA’s card

Here is STEPHABELLA’s card

And here’s TRACYBELLA’s card

penelopeTRACYV

Are these NOT AMAZING!!???

And now for the final sneak peek.. going along with the same theme, we have TINY TOWNIE ANABELLE needs your ADDRESS

anabelleneedsyouraddress

My initial vision for Anabelle was to use her for your card envelopes, packaging, letters, gift tags.. and place the address in the box

(since I do not have this stamp yet, I used Elaineabella’s coloured images for my samples.. you just wait until I have this baby in my possession! I CANNOT WAIT)

Here I used a 9*12 Manila shipping envelope.. used Anabelle for the address and there are a few “extra” stamps you will be “meeting ” tomorrow or Sunday.  I had SO much fun decorating this YOU HAVE NO IDEAR…!

anabelle2emily

Here I used a small shipping envelope and didn’t do any decorating.. just stamped and cut her out and colored her with pencils.. again.. nothing fancy.. just wanted you to see how to use her!

anabellesimpleEMILY

And FINALLY, I said to myself “SELF”.. why does she ONLY have to be on packages and envelopes? SO I answered myself and said “SELF”… she doesn’t!

So I whipped this little card up to show you how you can put a sentiment in her bubble and make a cute little card!  I used the sentiment from UPTOWN GIRL TIFFANY LOVES TO TEXT.. there are 3 amazing hashtag sentiments in that set!

anabelle3emily

Next I am going to try to use her as a bookplate with my info and as an intro on the first page of my journals with a message for anyone who may read it or find it :).. She is SO VERSATILE!

 

Soooo?  whaddya think? Ya think you would have fun decorating and sending some mail to some lucky sistahs?

Ok now back to our regularly scheduled program.. BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!

Ok sistahs..

today is such a FUN sneak peek.. I have had MANY requests for our chicks (now called our COOL chicks collection).. they have been in the background for way too long.. I think that’s why they were SO very naughty.  They needed the attention to put them in the limelight.. da sistahs have been personal messaging me.. WANTING.. DEMANDING more chicks.. SO.. I aim to please 🙂 and here they are in their full glory…

 

Here’s SWEATY CHICKS.. Lol.. I couldn’t think of a better name.. because that is what they were.. SWEATY.. and the effort they are exerting? LOL.. those expressions.. I couldn’t resist.  SO simple.. but SO adorable, easy to color and sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face! LOL.. I mean seriously.  I Cant EVEN.

Here’s Angelabella’s card

Hiya sistahs!

I bet you’re thinking.. OMG she has now literally lost her MIND .. she’s speaking and writing in french.. what is UP with dis BELLA?

Well let me ‘splain.

Today’s images are a little taste of one of my favorite trips I have ever taken in my life :).. to the BEEYOOTIFUL Paris.  I actually cried and heard angels singing when I walked the Champs Elysees.  I’m NOT kiddinK…. I loved Paris.. the architecture, the little shops.. the boulangeries…  and yes.. the people.  I actually told Ryan I wanted to move there.  UMMM.. that didn’t happen.

Another AMAZING memory of Paris was of course, the food.  And not just any food.  I am talking about a particular DESSERT.. mmhmmm.. you know what I’m talkin’ about.  Never mind the TASTE of these scrumptious desserts.. but the colours.. the shapes.. the inspiration of it all!  Yes I find inspiration in ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!

You guessed it.. The MACARON.  (SPELLED CORRECTLY!)… The BEEYOOTIFUL MACARON.  THE FLUFFY FILLED MACARON.  See where I’m going?  OUI? Vous VOYEZ?

Ok enough blabla (I could go on and on.. I know you would never believe that)..

without further ADO, I would like you to meet UPTOWN GIRL MONIQUE LOVES MACARONS (all of our images are coloured by ELAINEABELLA.. I always take for granted that everyone KNOWS Elaineabella colours all my images but just wanted to mention it here again :)) …. and the sentiment?  SO TRUE.  I think it’s referring to MOI.  I love that everyone appreciates the sentiments as much as the focal point.. it makes my DAYS of research worthwhile! LOL

Here is TRACYBELLA’s card using MONIQUE

moniquelovesmacaronsTRACYV

Here’s STEPHABELLA’s card using Monique

 

moniqueSTEPHANIE

If THESE don’t inspire you.. I dunno what will LOL

and now for our second sneak peek..  and YES when I get focused on something I get a little obsessed.. is that WRONG??  I wanted a generic image.. something like a bouquet of flowers.. but NOT flowers.. does that make sense?  I wanted something you can send ANYONE.. both a new acquaintance or a close friend.. and This image did the job.  I think it is SO MUCH FUN to colour  and would be SO MUCH FUN to give anyone as a “pick me up”..  LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Here’s MACARON BOUQUET and the sentiment from one of my favorite shows growing up 🙂  Little house on the Prairie!

macaronbouquet

Here’s SHELABELLA’s card using MACARON BOUQUET

Here’s ALICEWERTZabella’s card using our Macaron bouquet!
