BLUE Q arrived at BQ (Bella Headquarters)

Omg sistahs ! I am so excited about a new shipment we received! I decided that I am gonna “test” the market and perhaps start bringing things in that appeal to da sistahs… not just stamp related but of course stationery/gift/paper/sistah related. We are a sistahood right? we buy gifts right? We all LOVE the same things right? Most stamp companies sell stamps and stamp supplies.. but I LOVE giftware.. I love UNIQE items.. I love giving gifts and OF COURSE I love receiving gifts. I LOVE affordable fun items too.. SOOOO I decided to bring in this line.. just to test DA watAHS (waters in case you are new and don’t speaky my language LOL).. and see if this is something da sistahs wanna see in the future.. I figure if I own it.. I think da sistahs would like to own it too.. and maybe share with others. QUANTITIES ARE VEHERRRY LIMITED so if this is a stocking stuffer, a Chanukah gift.. a hostess, birthday, i just love you gift.. better act fast!

Don’t worry this absolutely does not affect our stamp line.. I already have our next few releases being worked on (they are PHENOM) .. this is just a little “BELLA LOVES THIS” type of thing I wanted to add to our line.. k?

So without further ADO.. wanna see what I got????

So I own all of these (yes I am crazy).. these bags are DA BOMB.. they are TOUGH ( made of recycled materials.. they are coated.. kind of feel like rice bags).. they have a strong great zipper.. and they fit A LOT.. and I mean A LOT. I have these in all my travel bags.. I have 2 in my purse.. don’t ask.. I LOVE THESE! And the price? FANTASTIQUE!

I LOVE art and illustrations.. I love type and font.. I love collage.. I love inspiring words and messages (you can tell from all of my sentiments right?) and I want to share this love with you!

check these out..(more images on our website if you just click on “CLICK FOR MORE IDEAS” you will see a thumbnail under the mail photo

It’s Bellarific FRIDAY on MONDAY!

Hiya sistahs! I am SO SO sorry for the delay in this post but I was away for my boy’s hockey tournament.. it was SO exciting and SO jam packed.. it was 3 days of CUH-RAZY. I always vowed that I would NEVER be one of THOSE hockey moms out there but *ahem* alas I have become one. I shouting, cheering, crying mess of emotions LOL.. For REALS. These kids worked SO hard this weekend and they WON!!! They learned a valuable lesson this weekend.. NOT TO EVER GIVE UP.. they were down by 2 goals and they never gave up and ended up winning. I can’t even tell you how crazy it was.. and of COURSE how CRAZY proud I was of my little goalie

Here he was making the final glove save as the buzzer rang and we won the tournament (the following 2 photos cost me $45 but who could resist right?)

And this face? they call it “the MOMMY shot”.. I wonder why.. cuz we can’t resist it? YUP.

Hope you’re still with me sistahs! Tomorrow is the big day where you can go BELLA WILD LOL!

5 sneak peeks today!

This first one is one of my favorites and I have been hinting to it for the last 2 weeks… Now just bear with me. You may not understand it right away… but just wait. One of my close friends emailed me THIS article.. some parts are a bit lewd.. some are bit risque.. so read at your own risk. I myself was CRYING laughing so hard… Ok so next step in the process… I start using I CANT EVEN every day.. and I start liking it. Third step.. start using it with Elaineabella daily.. 4th step.. discuss with Elaineabella which of our characters would depict the “I CANT EVEN” the best… 5th step.. took Elaine’s idea of having the COOL CHICKS represent it… 6th step.. FLEW with it and worked with Chrystal on it and 7th step.. GOT THE BEST IMAGES EVAH. LOL.

oh and 8th step? walked through WALMART and saw this shirt and KNEW it was meant to be :). Seriously. I just COULDN’T. (you can change the verb tense freely if you would like to.. this would be the past tense of I just can’t… TOTALLY passable 🙂 )

Ok so how do I explain this term… I can’t even. It is either SUPER amazing.. or SUPER horrible.. the fact that you “can’t EVEN” means the situation is WAY past the “toleration point” LOL for example… My child is throwing a hissy fit.. I look at my husband in despair and I say “I just CAN’T”.. I don’t need to explain further.. he takes over. I go into a stamp store with a friend.. I look around me and then I look at my friend and say “I CAN’T EVEN..”.. she knows I am overwhelmed and excited… does it make sense? LOL.. you’ll see.. you’ll start using it.

Ok so without further ADO.. let me introduce you to “THE CHICKS WHO COULDN’T EVEN”.. I am warning you that they are WAY dramatic.. They TOTALLY CANNOT AND WILL NOT.. LOL.

Those faces.. the one on the wall.. the one on his side and the one on his tummy? OMG.. they make me so happy. BUT DON’T despair if you just “CAN’T” with the sentiments.. I put these in for my own selfish reasons :)… You can use these chicks for ANY occasion.. bad day… needing to cope.. I’m sorry..LOL.. I LOVE THESE CHICKS!!

I just stuck them in my journal to make me smile every time I open it which is often 🙂

this entry I just wrote that this is how my daughter felt after her hockey game today LOL.. She just couldn’t. This is in my “FAUXDORI” notebook with “MIDORI” inserts.. my favorite planner/journalling system ever 🙂

Ok our next set is a MINI ENVELOPE ACCENT collection .. also from our Mister Postie Line.. these are TEENY TINY and SOOO MUCH FUN!! the “DO NOT CRUMPLE and DO NOT TOSS” and the paper airplane icons are my favorite LOL.. who am I kidding.. I LOVE THEM ALL! And the words are all separated from the icons.. so you can use these on anything! your post it notes.. journals.. mini NOTELETS (lol I just had to.. I couldn’t NOT)

And a little sample I threw together

On the above envelope I also used the OPEN ME border from our OPEN ME (Mister Postie collection).. seriously that BIRD? the UMMM HI? The happy mail enclosed? YUMMALICIOUSNESS.. Im gonna use these like CUH-RAZY.

I also used the OPEN ME on the package I sampled on the post 2 days ago. I LOVE that stamp!

and FINALLY we have EDWARD the EDGY BUNNY. Now why is he edgy you ask? Well he’s kind of a “goth” bunny LOL… I was a bit spooked by his eyes at first and then I said I wouldn’t have him ANY OTHER WAY.. he’s ADORABLE as is as an envelope embellishment… SEEE? And the snail mail is from YET another set see below!

Now if you are spooked by his eyes, I made a cute little row of different Edwards by adding “eyeballs” in myself 🙂 LOVE. (if you click on him, you will see 4 different Edwards)

I also whipped up a cute little EDWARD CARD!

So that’s Edward

last but not least we have the HELLO MISTER POSTIE set.. You can see the snail mail icon above.. I didn’t have a chance to play with the other two but I Can’t wait til I can sit down and spend quality time with them!

OH Oh OH!!! forgot to tell you!!! We are also launching 9 dies that go with our most popular images from our last release!! We are jumping on the Die Bandwagon.. you just wait and see what we come up with 🙂

And that’s all folks..

Mwah to da sistahs who are SO HAPPY to be rid of me for a while LOL

But I will still be in touch this week.. BWAHAHAHAHA

Release will be up tomorrow morning 🙂

And another one from our Mister Postie collection!

Here’s CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ENVELOPE ACCENTS

These are the CUH-YOU-TEST (had to write phonetically LOL) little itty bitty stamps you have ever seen. AND THAT SEAL? Who needs wax? LOL

These 6 stamps are so versatile.. to decorate your envies, packages, boxes for Christmas.. to make place cards for your dinner table.. to make little NOTELETS (yes I am OBSESSED with this word).. tags.. cards.. . get my point?

First of all.. can we discuss the “wax” seal? I am obssessed and I think I need a seal for every holiday now.. LOL

*** please note that I just got my stamps yesterday so these are VERY quick samples I whipped up just to show you how to use them:)****

I mean.. HELLO… is this not the cutest thing ever? LOL (it’s the little things sistahs…)

Then I decorated the front of an envie with the gift stamp from this new Christmas Spirit set and a sentiment from THIS set (I got a LITTLE carried away with my white prismacolor pencil.. I just get tingles when I see the white JUMP off the manila envie… You’re learning A LOT about me this release ay? LOL)

Here’s a little set of gift tags I made VERY quickly just to show you how cute and small these stamps are 🙂

There are SO many more possibilities.. I just got started 🙂

Now for the next image for today?

Meet UPTOWN GIRL CHRYSTAL’S Christmas Label

Another amazing image ready for all of your packages, envelopes or cards!

Again, I just got my stamps so please forgive the sloppy samples LOL

Again with the white prismacolor pencil LOL.. I paper pieced her dress.. did some white highlights.. now just have to address the envelope. Even if you leave her all in black ink and color the candy cane or just her dress.. it’s up to you.. the sky’s the limit!

I bought a kraft box from the dollar store.. I trimmed scrapbook paper to fit the top and then I got this gorgeous paper that I am obssessed with called TOMOE RIVER paper.. got a ream of it LOL.. I bought it from NANAMI paper .. an amazing stationery shop with lots of goodies from Japan (I am a HUGE stationery NERD).. anyway this paper is amazing for fountain pen ink.. it is very thin.. and it takes watercolor too.. so I decided to stamp on it and color just bits here and there.. this paper is luscious. It’s like a vellum.. I wanna lick it 🙂 (toldja I was a nerd)

Despite my sloppiness, I hope I have inspired you today!

WANNA WIN BOTH OF THESE???

Ahhhh, I love these!!! SO CUTE

Timestamp: 2015-11-02 02:11:17 UTC

This is gonna be an INSANE post full of samples.. full of inspiration.. so might I suggest a hot beverage? (said like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory)

Today’s sneak peek is a new concept to Stamping Bella… I have called it the “MISTER POSTIE” line… I LOVE snail mail. I LOVE receiving packages and goodies and letters in the mail. Sometimes I order things JUST to get a package in the mail that I can tear open like these chicks open a gift (I am the one in the middle box with feet sticking out) (did I just say that out loud?)

I also love sitting down and creating goodies for my friends.. whether it be a POCKET LETTER .. a little package sent.. a note etc. I must admit I am so guilty of WANTING to do this more often and not DOING. SO I have made a vow to try to do it more often…. and now not only is it fun to decorate what you are sending on the INSIDE of the letter… but what if I told you I had stamps to decorate the OUTSIDE of the letter… the envelope! Why should the fun end when the envelope or box is sealed? In all honesty you can can decorate your envelope with ANY of our stamps.. but I made little cute ones to make it even MORE fun..

wanna see????

Ok.

Here is our UPTOWN SEAL OF APPROVAL set from the MISTER POSTIE line..

I couldn’t resist making some samples to show you what I mean!

Here I decorated a manila shipping envelope with this stamp set.. had SO much fun. Colored them in directly with my Prismacolor pencils (pencils POP on manila and KRAFT).. used some washi tape.. and stamped randomly. I could have gone a little crazier but I had to control myself 🙂

Here I used just the Uptown “seal”, punched with a 1.25″ circle punch and placed it on the back of the envelope with some washi just for an extra “touch” (coloured quickly with copics)

And here I decided to make a little 4*4 card using our little uptown seal.. so sweet for a set of little “notelets” (i love that word-not sure it really exists or not LOL)..I am so inspired by our very own AliceWERTZabella on how she layers her papers.. i’m testing out the waters.. will take me a while!

In the first DO NOT BEND sample I just wanted to show you how you can create movement/design with the stamps and for the second sample I created my own background for with the Happy Mail stamp.. ready to put the address over it!

The options are ENDLESS with this little set! Stay tuned for more fun 🙂 I LOVE THESE!

Now for our next sneak peek we have TINY TOWNIE PENELOPE has a PENCIL

Still on the same theme of snail mail… you can stamp her right on your envelopes.. SHE IS EDIBLE… Or you can make gorgeous cards with her like our AMAZING Design team has!

Here is SHELABELLA’s card

Here is STEPHABELLA’s card

And here’s TRACYBELLA’s card

Are these NOT AMAZING!!???

And now for the final sneak peek.. going along with the same theme, we have TINY TOWNIE ANABELLE needs your ADDRESS

My initial vision for Anabelle was to use her for your card envelopes, packaging, letters, gift tags.. and place the address in the box

(since I do not have this stamp yet, I used Elaineabella’s coloured images for my samples.. you just wait until I have this baby in my possession! I CANNOT WAIT)

Here I used a 9*12 Manila shipping envelope.. used Anabelle for the address and there are a few “extra” stamps you will be “meeting ” tomorrow or Sunday. I had SO much fun decorating this YOU HAVE NO IDEAR…!

Here I used a small shipping envelope and didn’t do any decorating.. just stamped and cut her out and colored her with pencils.. again.. nothing fancy.. just wanted you to see how to use her!

And FINALLY, I said to myself “SELF”.. why does she ONLY have to be on packages and envelopes? SO I answered myself and said “SELF”… she doesn’t!

So I whipped this little card up to show you how you can put a sentiment in her bubble and make a cute little card! I used the sentiment from UPTOWN GIRL TIFFANY LOVES TO TEXT.. there are 3 amazing hashtag sentiments in that set!

Next I am going to try to use her as a bookplate with my info and as an intro on the first page of my journals with a message for anyone who may read it or find it :).. She is SO VERSATILE!

Soooo? whaddya think? Ya think you would have fun decorating and sending some mail to some lucky sistahs?

Ok now back to our regularly scheduled program.. BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!

Ok sistahs..

today is such a FUN sneak peek.. I have had MANY requests for our chicks (now called our COOL chicks collection).. they have been in the background for way too long.. I think that’s why they were SO very naughty. They needed the attention to put them in the limelight.. da sistahs have been personal messaging me.. WANTING.. DEMANDING more chicks.. SO.. I aim to please 🙂 and here they are in their full glory…

Here’s SWEATY CHICKS.. Lol.. I couldn’t think of a better name.. because that is what they were.. SWEATY.. and the effort they are exerting? LOL.. those expressions.. I couldn’t resist. SO simple.. but SO adorable, easy to color and sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face! LOL.. I mean seriously. I Cant EVEN.

Here’s Angelabella’s card

And now meet CHICKS with a sprinkle on top. OF COURSE they managed to get IN BETWEEN the scoops so they can sneak a taste.. They thought you wouldn’t notice.. Oh but we NOTICED didn’t we sistahs? Sneaky little chicks. Hmph. Doesn’t ice cream really solve everyhing???

Here is TRACYBELLA’s card

Here is Danabella’s card

I kinda want a bite of the MINT CHIP flavor at the bottom and lick the puddle he is in.. is that wrong?????

And now for our IRON CHEF chicks.. I think I saw the episode they were in … did you??? They are amazingly talented.. their specialty is FISH. LOL.. I actually think I hear them singing whilst cooking. And the 2 sentiments included? AMAZ-INK. no? The one with the bib and fork and knife? LOL.. that would be ME.

and here’s a card by our TRACYBELLA

All images have been coloured by our ELAINEABELLA of course!

I hope these images have put a smile on your face today. It’s YUCKY here in Toronto. I hope it’s nicer where you are 🙂

Too cute as always.. I’ve actually never had one of them cookies but love the images.

Hiya sistahs!

I bet you’re thinking.. OMG she has now literally lost her MIND .. she’s speaking and writing in french.. what is UP with dis BELLA?

Well let me ‘splain.

Today’s images are a little taste of one of my favorite trips I have ever taken in my life :).. to the BEEYOOTIFUL Paris. I actually cried and heard angels singing when I walked the Champs Elysees. I’m NOT kiddinK…. I loved Paris.. the architecture, the little shops.. the boulangeries… and yes.. the people. I actually told Ryan I wanted to move there. UMMM.. that didn’t happen.

Another AMAZING memory of Paris was of course, the food. And not just any food. I am talking about a particular DESSERT.. mmhmmm.. you know what I’m talkin’ about. Never mind the TASTE of these scrumptious desserts.. but the colours.. the shapes.. the inspiration of it all! Yes I find inspiration in ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!

You guessed it.. The MACARON. (SPELLED CORRECTLY!)… The BEEYOOTIFUL MACARON. THE FLUFFY FILLED MACARON. See where I’m going? OUI? Vous VOYEZ?

Ok enough blabla (I could go on and on.. I know you would never believe that)..

without further ADO, I would like you to meet UPTOWN GIRL MONIQUE LOVES MACARONS (all of our images are coloured by ELAINEABELLA.. I always take for granted that everyone KNOWS Elaineabella colours all my images but just wanted to mention it here again :)) …. and the sentiment? SO TRUE. I think it’s referring to MOI. I love that everyone appreciates the sentiments as much as the focal point.. it makes my DAYS of research worthwhile! LOL

Here is TRACYBELLA’s card using MONIQUE

Here’s STEPHABELLA’s card using Monique

If THESE don’t inspire you.. I dunno what will LOL

and now for our second sneak peek.. and YES when I get focused on something I get a little obsessed.. is that WRONG?? I wanted a generic image.. something like a bouquet of flowers.. but NOT flowers.. does that make sense? I wanted something you can send ANYONE.. both a new acquaintance or a close friend.. and This image did the job. I think it is SO MUCH FUN to colour and would be SO MUCH FUN to give anyone as a “pick me up”.. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Here’s MACARON BOUQUET and the sentiment from one of my favorite shows growing up 🙂 Little house on the Prairie!

Hiya sistahs! OMG you ready for this one?

How did DIS BELLA know that you would love da ELEPHANTS? HMMMMM? Maybe because SHE LOVE ELEPHANTS TOO?

You sitting down? you ready?

Ok. Cuz this one is sitting down worthy.

Meet ELLIE loves PHANT. Yup they really DO love eachother. Do you see how PHANT is GENTLY covering Ellie’s head with his ear? Protecting her? the way his TRUNK is intertwined with hers? To me this is utter perfection (ifidosaysomyself)… Perfect for an I LOVE YOU card.. a WEDDING card.. bridal shower.. anniversary.. birthday. I mean really. Everyone should receive a card with Ellie and Phant no?

Here’s ALICEWERTZABELLA’s card using the happy couple

And here is Kerribella’s card using them 🙂

They make me so very happy.

And now for our second amazing sneak peek! STUFFY stuffie (lol.. I couldn’t resist). … Stuffy Stuffie isn’t feeling so hot. In fact, he needed his kleenex box and ice pack on his head AND OF COURSE the dangling thermometer to make a point.. S/he IS a bit dramatic I must admit but I think that every stuffie is entitled to a sick day.. or 2 MAX. After that, they have to be happy healthy stuffies again 🙂
