WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hey everyone! Elaineabella here with the big spotlight, showing off some inspiration from our fantastic design team The Bellariffic Babes! Obviously I show their creations off every week in this feature, but I thought they each deserved a closer look! Click through to get all the info and inspiration.

Hiya sistahs,

due to the success and CRAZINESS of our Black Friday sale, we will not be having crazy Tuesday tomorrow… Crazy Tuesday will resume on January  3rd 2017!

Thank you for understanding

Happy Monday! Elaineabella here, as usual. Sadly, I don’t have a new Marker Geek Monday for you this week. Last week was pretty rough, and so was I! Since I am guessing that many of you are just as busy as I should be with festive preparations and the general craziness of this time of year, I thought this would be a good time to take a break until the New Year!

If you’re more organised and efficient than I (not that it is hard to surpass me in this area), you might find the round up below useful for taking advantage of any free time!

Here’s a round up of all the Marker Geek Monday posts from 2016. It has been great fun working on this series, and I look forward to continuing with renewed energy in January 2017! A big thank you to everyone who has shown their appreciation for the series, I hope you all continue to enjoy it in 2017.

Hi everyone!  it’s Kathy here on my last Wonderful Wednesday of the month with Stamping Bella.

On the last day I would  like to try to give you all something different so this time I am bringing back the Starbuck Cup Card!!! You can see the fall cup card that I did a year ago here

On this card I used NACHO

and I added some pretty eyelids and eyelashes to her 🙂

and here’s a closeup

In the video … besides cutting the Starbucks cup for a card …a few of the fine detail tips I share how I added enamel accents on the eyes, glossy accents on the nose and an embossing buddy to get a nice clean embossed sentiment.

Watch the video in HD here and a thumbs up is always appreciate if you like it. ? 

Check out more of Kathy’s inspiration using the Starbucks cup including how to make a holder on the inside of the card to fit the cup!  BRILLIANT!

Wanna win a $25 gift vouchah to our shop?
