Stamp It Saturday: Out of the Frame Die Cutting with Sandiebella

Time for another Stamp It Saturday! This week Sandiebella has a really useful tutorial for you on how to do “Out of the Frame” die-cutting, where you die cut your image using a circle/square/whatever die with a portion (in this case the balloons) sitting outside the die-cut. Simple, but oh so handy, especially for images like our gorgeous Uptown Girl Bentley.

It’s BELLARIFIC FRIDAY SISTAHS!- AN INSPIRATION PHOTO!

Hiya sistahs!  I hope you are having a great week 🙂

This week has been all about working on this upcoming HUMONGOUS and AMAZING Christmas release.. YUP.. mark your planners sistahs.. SNEAK PEEKS START OCTOBER 3rd!  WOOHOOO!!!  I am also SOOO excited because I get to spend the weekend with the amazing and talented KATHY RAC!  I’m hoping just a little bit of her talent will spill over via OSMOSIS onto DIS BELLA!  We will be hanging out at ONE CRAZY STAMPER in Bolton at an organized SOLD OUT event!  I don’t see why you can’t just come and visit and shop and say hi though if you didn’t secure a spot?  No one needs an excuse to shop or say hi right?  And who knows?  I MAY JUST HAVE my Christmas/Winter stamps with me to play with..hmmm

Now for this week’s Bellarific Friday we had an INSPIRATION photo

it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH Michelle Short AKA the CARD GROTTO!

Hello there, Michelle here and I am delighted to be sharing another card with you today. My card uses the adorable Especially For You Petunia stamp set. I just love Petunia! She is always so happy! 🙂

 

 wonderful wednesdays with Stamping Bella- RUBBER STAMP USED: ESPECIALLY FOR YOU PETUNIA, CARD BY MICHELLE SHORT

 

I started off by stamping Petunia on to a circle of cardstock that I cut using a stitched circle die. The image was then coloured using Copic Markers, adding in a little blue for sky. I took the sentiment from the Kitty & Mousie set and with a bit of masking, I stamped the ‘happy’ and ‘birthday’ on to a piece of black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. The sentiments were then cut in to strips.

 

 wonderful wednesdays with Stamping Bella- RUBBER STAMP USED: ESPECIALLY FOR YOU PETUNIA, CARD BY MICHELLE SHORT

 

I took a piece of patterned paper and cut this using a pierced square die. This was added to a white 5.25” x 5.25” card base with tape runner. I then added the image circle on top with foam tape, as well as the sentiment pieces. I love combing different sets and Stamping Bella sets go so well together. Thank you so much for popping by today, see you next Wednesday! I hope you have a great day!

 

Thank you Michelle!!!
