Bella & Friends

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bella & Friends)

written by Kylie

Hi, when I shared an earlier Bella card I mentioned that while I had coloured the dog brown in my card you could easily make the dog look like many different breeds. I was excited to make a border collie card inspired by my dog Zac. I’m also still embracing the white space! This card is so quick and easy to make. You only need a few supplies – stamp and ink, a colouring medium and cardstock. Let’s take a look.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t it super cute? Maybe you, or your recipient, has a black and white border collie. That’s easy to do too. You could make the dog a darker colour by adding more of the Dark Smoky Slate but I was pretty happy with this dark grey so that I could still see all the outlines of the stamped image.

Here’s the card…

I thought you’d like to meet the little guy who inspired the brown and white version. This is Zac. It would have been his 13th birthday on the 1st of March but I lost him a couple of weeks ago. After enjoying good health his entire life, aside from a touch of arthritis over the last year, he suddenly became very unwell. I miss him terribly. He was my best friend. He had such character and was a little smarty pants. Everyone should be blessed with someone just like my Zac.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

A quick and easy card (Bella & Friends)

written by Kylie

Hi, today’s card is actually very quick and easy to create. You only need a few supplies to get started and I think it looks great. It’s also time to embrace white space!

This card will take you no time at all to make. Simply take a sheet of Whisper White cardstock and cut it to the size you like. Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the cute little image and sentiment toward the bottom of the cardstock. I coloured the images using my Stampin’ Blends (and the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write marker).

Use your Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends marker to alter the colour of the silver heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack. Add this to the card near the sentiment. Adhere the panel to an Old Olive cardstock base. The card is complete! It is as easy as that!

Here’s the card…

Isn’t it sweet! I hope you will ’embrace the white space’ and create a quick and easy card like this.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

You’ve got a friend in me (Bella & Friends)

Hi, the Bella & Friends stamp set is totally adorable. I’ve already made a couple of cards using this set (you can see them here). There are still so many cute images in this set waiting to be used. As well as the sweet stamps of Bella and her friends, there are also some lovely sentiments which could be used for many occasions. I love a stamp set which offers multiple possibilities within it.

For today’s card, I stamped the image and the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with my Stampin’ Blends. I matted the panel with some Crumb Cake cardstock. My plan was to place this panel directly on to the Tutti-Frutti card base but I felt it was a little too plain. I had some off-cuts of Crumb Cake which I had run through the new Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder (now available as an item you could earn for free during Sale-A-Bration). I thought these pieces would be a nice touch and wouldn’t overwhelm the small centre panel.

The last touch was to add a coat of Wink of Stella to Bella and her friend. I also used my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends to colour a silver heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack as I wanted a lovely red heart to add a punch of colour.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t this darling! I LOVE colouring these images. I coloured Bella very simply but you could easily use different colours and styles (such as patches) to really personalise Bella for your recipient.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

I’ll be your up… (Bella & Friends)

written by Kylie

Hi, today I am sharing two ‘similar but different’ cards using the Bella & Friends stamp set. It is such a darling set – Bella and her friends are simply too cute. I have been really wanting to use the image of Bella flying by tied to her balloon since I first picked up the set.

The first step to create the card was to stamp Bella and her friend as well as the sentiment. I then masked the image using a post-it note. To create the clouds I used the same technique I used for the recent Hedgehugs card. Next up was to colour the critters using my Stampin’ Blends. I love how it looks. So soft and pretty. I then mounted the panel on some Pink Pirouette cardstock. I decided to pop up this panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off the card I added some Wink of Stella to the balloon and a silver enamel heart near the sentiment (partly to distract you from the fact the sentiment is a little crooked).

Here’s the card…

I really loved the softness of this card but wanted something a little brighter so I started again. I went through the exact same process except I used different colours and this time I decided to make the sentiment stand out a little more.

Here’s the card…

I love this stamp set so much. I also think I’d like to try this card design again and make it even brighter!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
