hiya sistahs!

I made a DYLAN LOLLIPOP card yesterday and just had to share.. oh how i lovey him! I used one of my FAVORITEST brands of paper COSMO CRICKET ( the BOYFRIEND collection).  I stamped him on BELLA’S BESTEST PAPER of course, and colored him in with copics as a base and shaded with prismacolors (Will be loading individual prismacolors online in the next couple of days!).  The paper was a very stark white, so I learned from my bestest teachers Paulabella and Lindabella.. (not sure which one but I am SURE they will correct me this weekend and let me know who taught what..LOL).  To correct the “starkness” I used one of my colorbox stylus’ and sponge with versamagic WHEAT ink (a wonderful invention if you ask me).. rubbed it all around the card in small circles over a craft mat and voila! STARK-FREE! LOL. Now for the embellishments!

The red Button and the turquoise and green buttons are both QUICKUTZ dies which I am sold out of but have re ordered.. they are just a staple to have in your quickutz collection, IMHO.  I have been waiting a while to load the GLITTER RITZ online but I am FINALLY doing it today! Along with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITEST silk ribbon.. OMG.. it is smooshy and wooshy and ties into a wonderful bow.. LOVE IT.  I will try to make a more VISUAL tutorial on the amazing ULTRA ULTRA fine glitter ritz glitter but for now, i will tell you what I did to make those “buttons”.  I cut out the QK button die out of QUICKUTZ Self Adhesive CHIPBOARD on my big shot machine.  I peeled off the adhesive off of one side of the button.  I then poured the glitter ritz color over the exposed adhesive button, brushed away the excess with my finger or a blush brush or shaving brush, and then rubbed the remaining glitter with my finger in a burnishing motion to shine up or “buff” the color… PHENOM PHENOM PHENOM!!  I am in love with this glitter.. sold out twice in the store and have to replenish!

I also wanted to remind you that this Bellarific friday (due tonight) is a WILD CARD.. so any bella stamp, any layout anything goes!

Mwah sistahs!

Hiya Sistahs! I hope you are having a sunny great day!

I wanted to share a little bit about what goes on in Bellaland “OFF HOURS”.

After many requests from patrons of Bellaland, we have started an ATC (artist trading card) group where we pick a theme monthly, meet on the last Thursday of every month and EXCHANGE our little masterpieces!! The amazing thing about the ATC is that you can fit so much on that little card and then you simply mount it on a card and you are SET!!!  We met last Thursday to swap our little treasures and I had such an amazing time.. OMG.. I was like a kid in a candy shoppe!  I love everything “little”.. miniatures, teeny inchies.. etc. and when I saw these and how hard our sistahs worked I was in AWE!

We have 18 sistahs in our group and I just had to share what fun we had last week!

It’s all about DA FUN sistahs.  I wish you could all be here with us but you KNOW you are all here in spirit!

Mwah to da sistah who are always here with us
