Happy Bellarific Friday! We’re back with more fantastic cardmaking and colouring inspiration to help you get those stamps inked up and on your next project.
Each week you have a chance to win a $25 gift card for our website, just by commenting on the Bellarific Friday post for that week.
On last week’s post we had 14 comments, and I’ve used a random number generator to select a winner (counting comments from oldest to newest).
Our winner for last week is Heather!
Congratulations Heather! Please email me at customerservice@stampingbella.com and I will get your gift card sent over.
Let’s get into the inspiration! This week the Babes were asked to create something inspired by one of their team mates. Either a specific card, or just their style. Feel free to play along and do the same and share your creations with us!
Michele chose one of Ginger’s recent cards for inspiration, and I love how it turned out! You can see Ginger’s card HERE.
Delphine chose one of my cards as inspiration, and I love how hers turned out! She used a different stamp from the same collection, and used the same layout. You can see my card HERE.
Jenny created this gorgeous festive card using inspiration from one of Alice’s cards! I love that you can see Alice’s influence, but this remains totally Jenny too. You can see Alice’s card HERE.
Sandra chose to be inspired by our wonderful Jenny and her brilliant shaker cards! Love the results, and this card is just so fun.
A sweet Tiny Townie Alice card from our lovely Alice! She chose to be inspired by one of Michele’s beautiful cards. You can see Michele’s card HERE.
Ginger was wonderfully inspired by one of Tamara’s cards! Love that heart background with the inlaid gold hearts. You can see Tamara’s card HERE.
Like Michele, Debra was inspired by Ginger’s recent Little Cutie Mermaid card. It’s so fun to see how two people can be inspired in totally different ways by the same card. Debra was inspired by Ginger’s clever cutting out of the images. You can see Ginger’s card HERE.
Finally, I chose Sandra as my inspiration! I always thoroughly enjoy her use of background papers to set the scene, so I went with that. Happily I had similar papers to those she used on a recent card. See Sandra’s card HERE.
I didn’t film this colouring of the Foxy is Stuck image. But I’ll include my previous video in case you’d like to watch that!
You can watch my previous colouring of the Foxy is Stuck stamp in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.

I’m back with more Spec-Tacular inspiration today, albeit a day late! Unfortunately I’ve come down with something, and wasn’t up to sitting at my desk yesterday. Feeling a little better today, so here’s my Stanley Sunshine card and video! I can confirm, he’s a great day brightener.

I’m back with my Inspiration Posts, and it makes me so happy! For today’s post, I wanted to use a very summery stamp so I went for the Little Cutie range, with the oh so adorable Little Cutie Mermaids & Octopus. I paired my cuties with a sentiment from the Mermazing Sentiment set – I love the text and font!
I coloured everything in Copics, only added a bit of seaweed at the bottom and a few bubbles with my blender. Also, to colour the hair, I mapped and cut the hair in different parts to help me visualize how to colour. You can see I did it differently for each of the mermaids.
Skin: E000, 00, 11, 74
Pink hair: RV13, 14, 19
Brown hair: E19, 59, YR23
Green tail: G14, 17, 29
Purple tail: V04, 06, 09
Star: E35, Y13, YR23
Flower: V04, 06, 09, Y13, YR23
Octopus: Y02, YR00, 02
Plants: G19, 29, YG01, 05, 09
Sea: B01, 02, 04, 05, 18, 99
Sand: E50, 51, 53, 55
Happy crafting!
