WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hello everyone! I’m back to share a baby card – and oh it’s a girl! I went for a very pink theme in my card – pink mood today – and decided to create a simple scene.

For my scene, I used the amazing Oddball Baby On the Way and masked her to stamp the Window. I traced a skirting board with a black fineliner and added a sentiment from the Baby Sentiment set. I wanted to use some soft colours meant for a baby card – except for the curtains for a bit of contrast – and you can also see I chose not to colour the wall but only added touches of colour at the top and at the bottom, leaving a lot of white space.

Stamps Used:

I coloured everything in Copics then stamped a bit of texture in Versafine Baby Pink and added a piece of white washi tape coloured in RV19 Copic, one of the markers I used to colour my scene.

Copic markers used:

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 71, RV42
Eyes: BV00, E35
Hair: E35, 59, YR23
Clothes: BV00, RV10, 11
Shoes: BV00, C3, 5, RV10, 11
Curtain: RV13, 17, 19, 69
Windowsill: E33, 37, 59
Outside: B000, G12
Wall: RV000, 10 + BV00
Skirting board: BV0000, 000, 00
Floor: YR30, 31

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day! Hugs,

Happy Friday! We’re back with more gorgeous inspiration from the Babes today, this time following a sketch challenge. Let’s take a look and see what the Babes have come up with.

Here’s the sketch:

The Cards!

We’ve got a lovely mixture of fun themes going on, and a wide selection of different stamps. I know I say it often, but I do enjoy seeing what everyone picks to work with.

Delphine created a charming scene using two of our new release stamps. One of the Whimsabellas with our new backdrop. She also used part of a sentiment from our Love Sentiment Set.

Hi all, 

I recently came across garlic bread pizzas in Lidl and instantly thought what a cool gift the box would make. When I opened it up, the bread inside was wrapped in plastic so the box was clean and perfect for altering! 

The stamp I used is Oddball Girl Power, which I stamped on copic blending card and coloured with Copic markers before fussy cutting around the outline.

The box measures approx. 7″ x 7″ and I shaped the papers by using the box as a template – drawing around it with a pencil. 

When I had the sides and top covered I layered papers onto the front using various dies for the stars, circles and letters. 

I used 3D foam strips to adhere Oddball Girl Power to the front. 

Finally, I cut out the sentiment using a stitched rectangle die and positioned it behind the image. 

The box can be used for a small gift, candy or anything else you like. I baked a 6″ chocolate chip cookie which fit perfectly inside. 

I’m back with another card and video featuring stamps from the NEW RELEASE!

Happy Monday!

New release orders are winging their way to your craft desks as quickly as we can get them out. The team in Ohio are working hard on packing and shipping. While you wait, I’ve got some inspiration for you!

I absolutely love this cutie. Such a sweet image, and perfect for so many occasions. I kept it simple for this first card, but I’ve already got her stamped up ready to create some fun scenes.

Hello friends!

It’s time for another Scenic Saturday here on the Blogabella and I couldn’t wait to color up another new stamp from the Spring release. Oddball Baby on the Way is such a cheeky way to celebrate the arrival of a little one so I couldn’t wait to get her on a card. 

Stamps Used:

A crafty friend recently suggested that the postage stamp dies, when cut apart, would make for cute frames hanging on a wall and I thought that would be a sweet way to decorate a nursery for Oddball Baby on the Way. I stamped her off to the left side of the card front and colored in a simple wood floor beneath her feet and a soft yellow wall behind her. This left me with just enough room for a couple of framed ‘art prints’ that I created using the bees from the retired Little Bits Critters set. The colors match back to the floral print dress that our quirky mom-to-be is wearing. The sentiment is part of the new Baby Sentiment set and I capped off the entire scene with a small heart speech bubble die to show the love that mom already has for her baby.  🙂

Enjoy the new release and stay crafty my friends!
