WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistahs!

I just love posting stuff from da sistahood.. so I think I am going to go through our FACEBOOK GROUP and on INSTAGRAM (if you tag @stampingbella and #stampingbella) once in a while and share the GORGEOUSNESS here.. ok?  you DOWN wit dat?  Ok good.

First I wanted to show a card I spotted on FB by Deborah Deruyck using Uptown girl VIENNA on her VESPA… these pleats?  I CANNOT.  If someone doesn’t teach me how to pleat RIGHT NOW I am gonna have a conniption (sp?) fit.  LOL

How stunning is this? so clean and crisp no?  Thank you so much Deborah for sharing this with us.. you are so talented!

I also wanted to share a card by the talented Christine LEVISON.. using EDNA blows a KISS.. I LOVE EDNA!!!! and CHRISTINE!  Christine told me her mom’s name was Edna so our character holds a dear place in her heart 🙂  I love stories like that!

Thank you so much ladies for thinking of Stamping Bella before you sit down and create 🙂 it means the world to me!

MWAH and see you tomorrow for bellarific friday!

Hiya sistahs,

Today I decided to film a quick video on our “CUT IT OUT” snippers tool 🙂   I have had a lot of questions, so I decided to test it out myself!

We had a few issues with autofocus again.. I will get to the bottom of it.. I PROMISE!

Hope you enjoy my goofiness

“Cut it out” dies used in the video:

The Bunny Wobble and the PEONY

Some of my very favourite Stamping Bella stamps are from the fun range the COOL CHICKS! Love those little guys, and it never ceases to amaze me just how much character they have. They keep popping up with the Tiny Townies too, in fact you never quite know where they’ll appear to inject a little humour. So, this week I thought I’d share some Copic combos for colouring the chicks. The stamp set I used is Heidi Needs a Hug (this stamp was also featured in my Copic Hair Combos post) and this little chick is a separate stamp, so you can use him to create a scene with Heidi or even let him wander off and offer a flower wherever it might be needed!

While you’re playing with yellow combos, add a little extra detail to your chicks using techniques from my Basic Fur with Markers post (texture doesn’t have to be just for fur y’know). If you check out another sweet chick from the Stamping Bella range – Mimi the Chick Misses You – you will see that I textured her using the colourless blender refill technique. Some of the Cool Chicks are a little tiny for this, but others like Slick Chick would be perfect for getting some extra detail happening!

Have a go and let us know how you got on by sharing your work here in the comments section, over in the Stamping Bella Sistahood chat group on Facebook, directly on the Stamping Bella Facebook page or on Instagram by using the tag #markergeekmonday . We love hearing from you and sharing the enthusiasm for Stamping Bella!

MWAH!
