It’s Friday, which means it is Bellariffic Friday. Today the Bellariffic Babes are dedicating this one to Emily, our ForeverBella. The heart of Stamping Bella – always. It’s hard to believe she has been gone for a few weeks now, and we miss her terribly.
Thank you all so much for all of the love you have given Emily, her family, friends, and all of us. It is so appreciated. We love to hear how Emily and Stamping Bella have touched your lives and made you feel.
We’ve got a special guest with us today. Paulabella! An original Bellariffic Babe, Paula no longer plays with stamps and paper, but she is still getting her art on. I fell in love with Stamping Bella through Paulabella’s work, all those years ago. Much loved by Emily, Paula will always be a Bella. Because her stamps are hiding in a box somewhere, Paulabella joined us with her own special tribute to Emily. Isn’t this GORGEOUS? I know Emily would love it and claim it instantly. The big heart…the three stars in her sky… Just gorgeous.
Now for the current Bellariffic Babes! Each name will link to their own blog where you can see their post.

This week I’m sharing cards using the Christmas Village and North Pole Backdrop stamps to help set the scene for some other stamps. They look gorgeous on their own, but they also make for some gorgeous Christmas scenes! First up is a very festive scene featuring Holiday Owl Sending a Card! Watch the video below to see it come to life.
The tree is from the Holiday Owl with a Star stamp – I simply inked up just the tree part of the stamp.

Hi!
Tamara here with you. For this week’s post I made a Birthday card featuring the ODDBALL GNOME PARENTS rubber stamp set. Oddballs are my favourite like of Stamping Bella rubber stamps and really enjoy colouring them. On this card I used mom, dad, fox and mushroom from the set. You get one more image in this set and you can all mix and match it with ODDBALL GNOME KIDS rubber stamp set.
Images were stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black on 300 g HP watercolour paper and then coloured up using Distress ink pads.
Distress ink pads used for colouring:
skin: vintage photo
hair: antique linen, walnut stain
his outfit: peeled paint, faded jeans, walnut stain, forest moss
her outfit: barn door, fired brick, villainous potion
fox: spiced marmalade
mushroom: barn door, hickory smoke
grass: peeled paint
sky: broken china
To decorate the card I used some papers from my stash and added some forest themed die cuts like tree, leaves, mushrooms …
Sentiment “happy birthday” comes from MINI ODDBALL HAS A PRESENT rubber stamp set.
That’s all from me today!
Hugs, t.
