Hiya sistahs!  We’re almost there!

Today’s sneak peek features an “underwater” theme… when I think summer.. I think WATTAH (water).. I always tell my kids that when I retire (as if I ever will) I just want to be in front of (not IN lol)  an ocean/lake/stream/pond and sit and stare and read all day long.. is that too much to ask? LOL  .  They seem to think so.

Let’s take a look at today’s sneak peeks shall we?

First we have another Backdrop!  Super simple and ready for you to pop images in front of.. plunk images in it.. play.. decorate..you get the idea

Here is our UNDER the SEA BACKDROP

Hiya sistahs!  Hope you are all set for this week long journey with DA BELLA!  Today is my 45th Birthday (OMG)  and I figured what better way to celebrate than to begin our SNEAKPEEKAPALOOZA with my sistahs!

Today we are featuring new characters and new concepts.. Honestly when I first saw these little characters I think I fainted a little.  Then gasped.  Or maybe gasped then fainted?  Well I think I did both not sure the order. LOL.  So this is a warning.  when you see these cuties, you may faint a little.  or gasp a little.. or both a little 🙂

As you know, a lot of our stamps are based on my childhood and other memories.  A little piece of me is in every single stamp.  Our artist Chrystal just “gets” me…. not many people do LOL.  So when we talk about a line, I tell her about my memories.. and she brings them to life.  It’s actually a bit crazy!

Today we are introducing our new characters, THE LITTLES.  you will soon see why I named them that :).  When I was a kit I  LOVED  COLORFORMS.. do you remember that toy?  Where there were little pieces of vinyl shaped  in characters asw well as a laminated background that you can stick the little vinyl pieces to to create scenes and stories?  Let me show you an example of a little piece of my playful past.. colorforms.  Here is a little blurb about the history of COLORFORMS

here is the popular LOGO for colorforms.. I can’t explain the comfort it gives me… that familiar logo. LOVE.

and here is a sample of the set.. I think I may have even had this one.. featuring the smurfs.. see the background smurf house and all the peel and stick characters you can use to create your very own stories?  SIGH. Why can’t I be 5 again LOL.

Ok so now you get where I am going right?

Without further blabla, please meet our LITTLES for today!

You still with me?  HOW ADORABLE ARE THESE?  That pig in the one piece? the little LITTLE girl in her little suit.. CANNOT.  each of the glasses can be die cut and popped on the characters..make a scene.. use them alone.. the WORLD is your OYSTAH..

There is also a coordinating “CUT IT OUT” die set for this set.. mmhmm.. my head is spinning.

These will BOTH be available in our June 30th release individually or as a bundle (where you save 15% when purchased together)

Stamping Bella SNEAK PEEK JUNE 2017- www.stampingbella.com

but WAIT.. there’s more!

What’s a “colorform” set without it’s background?  FEAR NOT my sistahs!  We are also introducing our BACKDROPS stamps today!

Our backdrop stamps are “scene creators”.. nuances to set a theme for your cards.. or simply a place to  stamp and “stick” your images to to TELL YOUR STORY.  These are very simple backgrounds.. intended to spark your creativity and allow you to play!

Here is our BEACH BACKDROP.  Simple right?

we are also introducing a new SUMMER SENTIMENTS set.. I just love all of these sentiments and fonts .. they were so much fun to create and I know they will be so much fun to use!

it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH… JENNY DIX!

Hi it’s Jennifer here for Wonderful Wednesday. I had lots of fun  creating this card. The hardest part was choosing the colours, as I wanted  to create CHATTY SQUIDGY  in every colour!  I think I might just have to create a few more?

Today I have used the larger  rubber stamp in the Chatty Squidgy  set.  She is also

available as a “CUT IT OUT” die or as a BUNDLE (Rubber Stamp and “Cut It Out” Die) where you save 15% when purchased together!

wonderful wednesdays with STAMPING BELLA-rubber stamp used CHATTY SQUIDGY card by JENNY DIX

First I coloured Chatty up using the following  Copic markers:

Face – E0000, E000, E00, E01, E11, R20

Hair – E40, E42, E43, E44

Belt, Shoes – C0, C01, C05, N07, N09

Phone – BG10, BG11, BG13, BG45

Dress, Ribbon, Soles of Shoes – Y11, Y15, Y18, YR23

wonderful wednesdays with STAMPING BELLA-rubber stamp used CHATTY SQUIDGY card by JENNY DIX

To create this card,  I layered black card stock and a designer paper

on a white card base. Then, I cut out the Big Hello from MFT

on a layer the same size as the designer paper in white.

I then cut a scalloped edge with Wavy Scallop Stitches die from SSS. 

wonderful wednesdays with STAMPING BELLA-rubber stamp used CHATTY SQUIDGY card by JENNY DIX

I then covered the back with acetate and 3M tape around the whole section , 

and the “HELLO” to create a shaker card section.

I then popped sequins in it and covered the back with yellow

designer paper.

wonderful wednesdays with STAMPING BELLA-rubber stamp used CHATTY SQUIDGY card by JENNY DIX

I put it all together and scattered some sequins around. I couldn’t fussy cut

around the phone cord so I replaced it with some really lovely  black thread.

It would have been so much easier if I had bought a “CUT IT OUT” die

at the start  ?.

Ssssh don’t tell but the other problem I had was that  I coloured her shoes too dark

so I restamped,  coloured, fussy cut and glued them on and they worked

beautifully because I was so happy with how the rest of her came out 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this card and Happy Crafting!
