Hiya sistahs! Hope you are as excited as I am with this new release.. the releases are all labours of love and they are all pieces of me, my family, and my memories :).. so welcome to da Bella’s life!
Moving along I am SO happy to announce that we have two new Baberoonis on da team and I can’t wait to introduce you! First of all, they are not BOTH baberoonis.. WE HAVE A FELLAROONI.. BABEAFELLA, in da house! Seriously for reals… we may need to control ourselves with how adorable and talented he is! Meet Steveafella… aka Stephen Kropf . (@stephenkropf) I had the honour of meeting him at the Kathy Rac event here in Bolton in September.. I saw his work.. I spoke to his sweet face and I was in love. I knew he had to be with us. At that same event, I just happened to be sitting next to another AMAZING person…. I mean I don’t ask for this, it just comes to me.. and THEN I run after it LOL. Her name is Sandy Boone (@threeroomstudio) and I FELL HARD for her too.. we got along so well.. laughed the whole day.. and then I peeked at her work and almost COLLAPSED.. I NEEDED TO OWN HER TOO.. ok I am a bit harsh… just LEASE her for a while.. LOL.. LOVE! Sandy has her own small clear stamp company called THREE ROOM STUDIO.. she has adorable stamp sets and I would love for you to go take a look at them! They are so much fun and I firmly believe in helping sistahs in the industry… Well NICE AND KIND sistahs at least 🙂
SO without further ADO, let’s meet our two newbies with a big round of APPLAUSE and a comment or two making them feel welcome.
Our theme for our babe/fella roonis (this AIN’T gonna be easy for me).. was to feature our brand new Stamp of the Month, CHRISTMAS TUG OF WAR. The die is also 20% off all month long but there are limited quantities so once they are gone, they are gone ..no rainchecks.. so HURRY!

Welcome to Steve and Sandy. Fabulous cards from all.
Love all the new stamps and the fella and Bella newbies!!!!
Soooo cute Sandiebella!
These are too cute! Glad to see the wonderful fun.
I also love the Aquarius woman.
Welcome to Steve and Sandy! Awesome cards! Wonderful stamps as always.
Welcome to Steve and another Sandy! When we had 2 of the same name people in my preschool it was Sandy W and Sandy P. We didn’t really have 2 Sandy’s but we had 2 of another name that I don’t remember. We used the first letter of the last names when we talked to them. In my mom’s knitting bunch there is a Sandy 1 and Sandy 2. Just thought I would pass that on. I love all the cards but why don’t I see mine? I sent in 3! Am I sending them in wrong? I am sending them to you. Should I resend for next week? Let me know and I can’t wait to see what the new Steve and Sandy do next!
Welcome to Steve and Sandy! All of these cards are so cute! 🙂
Absolutely love your stamps
Big welcome to your new additions! 😉
Well I have no more money… these are SOOOOO CUTE!
Love the Christmas Tug of War stamp! Awesome samples of all the new items!
These stamps are absolutely beautiful and I love that they have the cut out dies with them. All of your stamps are so much fun to use. It’s going to betough to wait for Monday!!!!! Have a Bellarific day!!!
Love all your designer samples. Great release
I was behind on my emails and read them out of order, so on Saturdays I already welcomed Mr. Steveafella, so now I would like to welcome Ms. Sandybella. These ladies are so talented, I seriously get so depressed when I look at their cards because I so wish I could color and create half as good as they all do, they are ALL so amazing and so talented, really you ladies are!!!! I have watched countless videos on coloring from your site, it has helped me so I do appreciate that so much, but maybe in 20 or 30 years I could be close to their level, LOL. You ALL ROCK !!!!!! P.S. I love the stamp especially because I have a Persian cat and a bulldog, so it is perfect for me.
Wow! What awesome cards!!! Y’all sure have sparked my creativity! From all different ways to color the animal to cut-aways to brightly printed mat papers to matting the sentiment…incredible! Thank you for sharing…each and everyone of you!!!
I love cats! Only in my household the tug of war would be between cat and cat…and cat…and cat! I have 4 cats!
Welcome to Stephen and Sandy ! I think it’s so cool that guys seem to give some interest to card making lately. All their creations today are just awesome, very promising.
Wow, gorgeous cards, and fabulous to see a fella on the team. His colouring is amazing and I’m very jealous! :0) xx
Great cards from all! Welcome Steve, you are a brave fella!
These are definitely on my wish list!
super cute! love these
