It’s our last WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH Francine Vuilleme.. FOR NOW LOL

Hello everyone! It’s Francine from Switzerland here with one last guest designer spot for Stamping Bella’s Wonderful Wednesday!

I’ve created this winter card:

www.stampingbella.com: Rubber stamp used WINTER BACKDROP, card by Francine Vuilleme

I decided to use the wonderful Winter Backdrop stamp as a main and focal image. I first made a top-folded card base from white cardstock. I sponged the top of the card front with blue Distress inks to get a beautiful gradient from blue to white. I then stamped the image on white cardstock, colored it, created a gradient for the sky using Distress inks and blending tools too and cut around to get a square image. I die cut two scalloped frames from white cardstock that I glued on top of each other and attached the square image behind the frames. It looks a bit like a postage stamp, right? I fixed the frame to the sponged card front with foam pads for more dimension.

Did you see January’s stamp of the month? It’s the Winter Backdrop stamp I used on my card! That means: 25% off, all month long! Yay! Don’t miss the offer! If you want to get the stamp, it’s now or never LOL!

Spotlight On Stamping Bella Stamp of the Month January 2018 Winter Backdrop

That’s all for me now! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments you’ve left on all my guest spots during the last weeks! I enjoyed playing with these fabulous stamps. Thanks also to Emily for having me as a guest and for being so generous!

Hugs from Switzerland!

Stamp It Saturday: Stamp Storage & Organisation

The first Saturday of 2018 is finally here! Was it just me or did this week seem to last forever? No doubt the weekend will whizz by, of course…

I always get the bug for organisation in January, and this year it is possibly magnified by the fact that we moved house in December. So, for this, the first Stamp It Saturday of the new year, I thought I’d open up a conversation with you about stamp storage and organisation!

it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS with FRANCINE VUILLEME!

Hello everyone! It’s Francine from Switzerland here! First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a fabulous New Year’s Eve.

For my first post this year, I have a holiday card to share with you:

 

 

I absolutely love walking in the snow with my Moon Boots and having snowball fights. This is probably why this rubber stamp (called The Littles Snowball Girl) immediately caught my attention. The sentiment is from the Holiday Sentiment rubber stamp set. I went for a clean and simple design using dotted patterned paper to make the image pop against the background. I stamped the snowball girl on cardstock, colored her and cut around, keeping a white border at the bottom. I glued dotted paper to a top-folded card base and adhered the image with the white border to the card front with foam pads for more dimension and interest.

It’s all for me today! I have one more card to share with you next Wednesday.

Best wishes for 2018 to all of you!

Francine
