Wonderful Wednesday with Kelly Latevola: Altering a Background Stamp featuring The Walrus, The Polar Bear & The Penguin Stuffies!

Hey folks, Elaineabella here! Today I’ve got another fantastic post for you from our Wonderful Wednesday guest for March… KELLY LATEVOLA

Sadly today is Kelly’s last post with us. *sniffle* I’d like to say a huge thank you to her for joining us and inspiring us this month, and I hope you all will too!

Altering a Background Stamp:

Hello Crafters!

I’m so sad this is my last post for Stamping Bella!

I’ve had a ton of fun creating cards with these super cute stamps this month!

Speaking of super cute can we talk about these Stuffies stamps for a minute?

Did you know that Stamping Bella has a whole line of Stuffies that are just adorable?

I used The Walrus, The Polar Bear, and The Penguin in today’s card

Wonderful Wednesday at Stamping Bella with Kelly Latevola!

Aren’t they so sweet?!

You may also notice I did an entire background for them. Except I stamped most of it. Didn’t see this background in the store?

It’s because I modified one they already had – Cave Kids Backdrop.

I really loved the Cave Kids Backdrop but my Stuffies are cold water animals…

A few quick and easy adjustments later, BAM!

Snowy Ocean Sunrise.

You can see how I created the whole card in the video below

See how easy it can be to create a completely different scene from background stamps you may already own?!

I just love versatile stamps don’t you?

I hope you found something today, or at least this month (haha), that inspires you to try something new!

A huge thanks to Stamping Bella for having me and to you guys for hanging out with me each week!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Over To You!
