Hiya Sistahs! Hope you are all doing great!
What a BUSY CRAZY INSANE week! This release WAS BEYOND all of my expectations. I have to thank my very special DESIGN TEAM for representing us so beautifully as usual. Their talent , in my humble opinion, is THE BEST in the industry. I’m So So So grateful for all of them I can’t and probably don’t say it enough! So THANK YOU Danabella, Elaineabella, ALICEWERTZabella, Jennybella, FAYE-WJ-abella, SHELABELLA, Stephabella, Lesliebella, Kerribella.. and our NEWEST addition.. or rather RE-addition, one of my CLOSEST friends… PAULABELLA! WOO HOO to all my sistahs.. I LOVEY YOU more than you know!!! You can find ALL of their amazing blogs down the sidebar of our blog under Bellarific Stamping Babes.
Ok now that I’m sniffling.. let’s proceed with this week’s Bellarific Friday theme.. before I bawl LOL
A MOJOBELLA SKETCHYPOO
Let’s see what our Baberoonis came up with shall we?
If you are not familiar with Paulabella’s work …shame on you LOL! just kiddinK. Paulabella and I have known each other for years.. it all started when she came to our store with a whole gaggle of CrAFty friends and spent the day blabbing and gossiping and coloring.. and we immediately clicked. She became a very important part of my life and of stamping bella’s life by traveling from Michigan to Toronto to teach classes.. we traveled to Minnesota together for an Archivers event.. and we have just been so close ever since. the MAGIC Paula does with her Prismacolors is unbeatable.. and all I text her every night is … how did you do this? and how much pressure to you place on pencil.. and how much do you cover the whole image.. I think she wants TA kill me … LOL bye bye bella. I can go on and on about Paulabella… but I know she embarasses easily (well not really) LOL!(you can follow her on Instagram @paulabella66 or on FB @busygirlART)
So without further ADO..
Here’s Paulabella’s card using our brand new CHICKADEER.. I mean really. COME. ON. I can’t. I can’t with ANY of the cards you’re gonna see on this blog today.. OUT OF CONTROL amazingness (sheesh I’m so gushy today.. what’ up wit DAT?)
AlicewertzABELLA’s card using MASON JAR of HEARTS RUBBER STAMP AND “CUT IT OUT” DIE BUNDLE (remember you save 15% when you buy the bundle!)
Danabella used EDNA NEEDS a MARTINI “CUT IT OUT” DIE and RUBBER STAMP BUNDLE
And the inside using the FANTASTIC sentiment 🙂
Faye-WJ-abella used Harry loves HAPPY MAIL stuffie
Jennybella used UPTOWN GIRLS Victoria and Juliette’s night out
Kerribella used Tiny Townie HEIDI needs a HUG
Lesliebella used COSMOBELLA “CUT IT OUT DIE” and rubber stamp BUNDLE
Sandiebella used TINY TOWNIE HAYLEY the SUPER HERO… THOSE PLEATS! I cannot.
Shelabella used ELLIE LOVES PHANT stuffies.. I can’t stop with the ear covering the other head.. and the intertwined trunks… I fall in love all over again when I see all these images LOL. I’m not partial at ALL! LOL
Stephabella used DONTTALKTOMEBEFOREMYCOFFEEABELLA V. 2.0.
So seriously.. am I right or am I right about my DT? HMMMMM?
Now check out the bottom of THIS POST for the entries following the sketch
and now for the emailed entry!
This card was made by Natalie using Uptown girl Ava loves to Celebrate
Hows DAT for eye candy?
Next week’s theme?
Next weeks challenge is to create your own background – get out your stencils, dies, embossing folder or inks and once you have your background done remember to use a current Stamping Bella image on the card and email your card to me by Thursday SEPTEMBER 15th
Or you can add it below to our inlinkz 🙂

Hello sistahs! It’s Sandy Allnock, back again for another guest month of coloring fun here on the Stamping Bella Blog….and since Christmas is coming (EEEP!), I’m launching a series all throughout the fall showing Christmas or winter backgrounds. The four Wednesdays this month, it’ll all be new releases from Stamping Bella!
When I open up a stamp set, I look at the images and ask the stamps to tell me what the setting is. Sometimes they do so right away – other times we “have a chat” while I’m coloring the image, then the scene takes shape. With Christmas tug of war, the critters were opening gifts outside – in the snowy yard. So I’ll show you how to make a fence! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
Be sure to hop over to my blog to leave a comment to qualify to win this stamp set – I’ll announce a winner on Sunday!
See you next Wednesday with another video!
And for some more AMAZINGNESS, Check out Elaineabella’s blogpost today featuring a how to tutorial and video on HOW TO COLOR IN PLEATS and FOLDS with CHRISTMASGIFTABELLA! This is epic sistahs.. I need this help SO badly LOL!

Hey folks! Elaineabella here again. 😉 This week for “Spotlight On” just one lucky stamp gets to bask in the glow of my ginormous spotlight: our September Stamp of The Month Peaches the Stuffie!
Normally today, being the first Tuesday of the month, would be CRAZY TUESDAY. Since this month it coincided with the brand new Holiday 2016 release, in order to avoid TOO much craziness the Crazy Tuesday offers have been moved to the second Tuesday of the month – so watch out for the usual Crazy Tuesday offers next week on 13th September 2016!
If you are just joining us, or simply haven’t heard of our Stamp of The Month offer, here’s the scoop! Each month we feature one stamp as Stamp of The Month, and for the whole month you can enjoy a fantastic 20% off that particular stamp. No rushing to place your order, you can order whenever you like during the month and take advantage of the offer on that stamp.
This month’s featured stamp is Peaches the Stuffie. If you haven’t already got her, now is the time to add her to your collection! Read on to see why I think you NEED this one. 😉
Peaches is one of the adorable and humour filled images in our Stuffies collection of stamps. She’s not having the greatest day, as you can see. It happens to us all.
Isn’t she perfect for sending a quick note to a friend who you know is having a rough time? The sentiment in the set is a nice one for offering support. Or you could pair her with another sentiment, like I did:
Instead of using the sentiment that comes in the Peaches stamp set, I used one from another favourite of mine The Chicks Who Couldn’t Even. The simple “RIGHT?” just seemed too fitting.
You could also use Peaches for a humorous birthday card, or an everyday notecard. Why not? She’s cute and funny. You could even add her to a planner page if you’re having one of THOSE weeks, I think she says it all!
Hopefully I’ve inspired you to add Peaches the Stuffie to your collection, or if you already have to get her stamped up!
