Know Joy!

I'm a little late for the Bellariffic Friday sketch challenge from last week...last week was one heck of a week for me.  Work kept me so busy that all I did was eat, work and sleep...repeat.  I needed the weekend to recharge a little.  Ever have one of those...I mean I didn't want to do a thing!  Anyway, I finished the day today with more done than not done so I decided to come home from work and give the craft room a try as well.



Using last week's sketch, I colored up Uptown Girls The Three Amigas.  I stamped them onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored with copics.  I then added surround shading with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  Glitter was added too for some holiday sparkle.  I had to flip the sketch...the twine bow atop the button kept bending to the right so it kept covering the face of Amiga number 1 the other way.  I've learned to not fret so much and just go with the flow so I decided it would work just as well on the other side.  The sentiment is a portion of the sentiment that comes with the stamp.

Design paper is My Mind's Eye 12x12 Holly Jolly.  It's a few years old but I love the bold patterns.  The cardstock is Bazzil and the ribbon is Stampin' Up!  I can't believe the holiday season is upon us but these gals get me in the spirit to live it up!

Next week our challenge is a photo inspiration...lots to get you in the mood with this one.  Hope we get to see your creation in the Friday lineup. 



Don't forget to send a photo of your creation to Emily@stmapingbella.com by Thursday evening.  The stop on by the Blog to see what everyone else has done.  There's always Bella Bucks up for grabs and we'll be hunting for the January Guest designer from the challenge participants.

Have a great week!

Brynn has a Baby Shower!

Happy Bellariffic Friday folks!  Today we had a theme for our challenge - Mix and Match.  I decided that it would be easy to add the sentiment from one stamp with the image of another.  So I colored up Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Brynn and her Baby Shower.  But I added the sentiment from Uptown Couple Emily and Ryan.

 
 
I stamped Brynn onto Bella's Bestest paper, colored her with copics then cut her out. I used the Spellbinder Lotus Pendant die for her back ground and placed a banner behind her stamped with a portion of the sentiment.  The original sentiment says for your Bridal Shower.  I just covered the word Bridal when I stamped it .  The design paper is K&Company Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy.  Cardstock is Stampin' Up!
 
Next week we go back to a sketch.  Hope you can find time to play along with us!  And don't forget that we will be looking for Guest Babes from participants in our challenges.  Can't wait for January, maybe you'll be the next Guest Babe!
 
 
 
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Wishes!

It's Friday and that means I've got a Bellariffic card to share.  Our challenge this week was a sketch and I loved it!  I've inked up Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy.  Check her out!




Coloring was done with copics and prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  I then cut her out and placed her onto the image panel.  Nesties were used for the oval and scalloped background panel.  Design paper is October Afternoon Farmhouse.  Bazzil black cardstock backs it all.  The bottom scallop was cut using an MFT die-namic.  MFT dynamic Howdy frames was used for the sentiment which is actually a portion of the sentiment that comes with Faith.  MFT felt and Flower Trio dynamic add embellishment.  A splash of glitter helps her dress shine.

I have a bit of exciting news to share too....Do you want to be a guest Stamping Bella Babe?  Starting in January we are going to have a "guest babe" each month.  To have your chance to be a Guest Babe you just have to play along with Bellariffic Fridays AND identify your blog on your card (so we can tell everyone about your blog).  By being the BABE for the month you will receive a Stamping Bella Gift certificate and all the challenges early.  Plus, you never know when we're looking for a new full time babe....

Now with that said, why don't you join us next week for our MIX and MATCH challenge - use more than one Bella stamp on your creation.  Photos can be sent to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night to be included in the Friday lineup.

AND - Em is having a sale on the whole shop through Monday - use the code novembersale upon checkout.

Thanks for stopping by - Enjoy your weekend!

Oh to be a Bride!

Hello Folks!  I have a card to share with you today using Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Brigitte the Bride.  I love this stamp.  I love the beauty and elegance of it.  We're in major wedding mode in our household, our son got engaged on the Fourth of July.  Since then we've been busy with plans.  The venue is Lake Placid next fall and we've visited the site and made arrangements to cater the rehearsal dinner and now I am on to preparations for the shower.  All that planning had me in the mood to color this Uptown Girl up.



I started by coloring her with copics onto Bella's Bestest paper.  Then I cut her out and applied lots of glitter.  Girls love sparkle right?  I placed her onto Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime paper.  The edging was cut with an EX Success border punch.  Kaiser pearls finish off the bouquet.  The sentiment is from the Uptown Couple Brett and Brenda Get Married stamp.  I hand cut it into a flag.  Everything then got placed onto Bella's Kraft paper.

Pretty easy!  Now I'm off to color this week's sketch challenge.

See ya back here later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by,

I'm in the mood to bake

The cooler weather has me searching Pinterest for new pumpkin and apple recipes .  I'm more of a cook than a baker but every now and then I get the urge to bake.  I think it has to do with the fact that we always have to eat but baking means sweets and the more I have in the house - the more I want.  It kind of defeats the purpose of going to the gym and watching what I eat all the time.  But I have a niece that loves to bake and this little number is heading her way.

Meet one of the newest Uptown Girls - Chanel the Chef. 

 
I was inspired by Julia Child's sentiment (which comes with Chanel) to decorate in Mackenzie- Child's style.  If you're not familiar with her ceramic pieces they are very colorful and have lots of shapes worked in.  So I pulled some paper with polka dots, bold teal and a two toned red square.  It's a mish mash of papers in my stash from Graphic 45 and My Mind's Eye.
 
Our challenge was to add stitching so I used black thread so it would stand out a little more.  Now that it's done I think I could have used a zig zag stitch and it would have stood out more.  Next time.
 
Next week we have another sketch to play with.  Hope you can join us!
 
Have a great weekend!

You bring me sunshine...

Hello Everyone, I have another thank you card to share with you today.  I've colored up Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Lolly and her Brolly.  I have a very dear niece that sent me the most gorgeous mixed media drawing for my birthday.  And golly, I can't let that go by without sending some love right back.  I thought Lolly would bring awesome sentiments for me.  I know she's not the typical thank you image but I figured I could add how the gift brought a little bit of sunshine to my world!



 
I have to share that I cased one of my own cards for this one.  I've always loved the layout so I gave it a quick whirl.  Lolly was stamped onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored with copics.  I added surround shading with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  Then I cut her out with Spellbinder classic circle dies.  The border punch is from EK Success, design paper is My Mind's Eye.  They were actually from 12 x 12 pieces that I had in my scrap pile - love when I get to use that up.  Machine stitching and a brown seam binding bow finish this off. 
 
 
Don't forget that this week's challenge is Monotone.  Create using one of your favorite colors (or one you have paper for) using a Stamping Bella stamp.  And don't forget to send a copy of your creation to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night. 
 
Keep smiling - we're almost halfway through the week!

50 was fun!!!

Hello all, I have some catching up to do.  Now that my vacation and survivor tour are done, fall has come upon us and the calendar is racing towards the holiday season!  I've fallen behind in my Bella posts too.  So today I am sharing a card I made to send as a thank you for one of my Birthday gifts.  I've colored up Stamping Bella's Uptown girl Reilly loves to Relax. 

 
 
I used this past week's challenge sketch and inserted my own sentiment.  I wanted to add the numbers but couldn't find any stickers in my stash big enough.  Then I remembered that I bought some Sissix Sizzlits alphabets on super reduced clearance eons ago which also included numbers.  These came from the Endless Love set.  Yeah for being a pack rat!  I also couldn't resist coloring onto Bella's Bestest Kraft cardstock.  I used copics for the chair and prismacolor pencils for the ground.  Design paper is from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 collection called Oliver.
 
I'm also sharing some of the pictures from our Salt Lake City/Moab, Utah adventure,  The views were so majestic - I can't wait to go back!


These are from Arches National Park in Moab, Utah
 
Can you see why they called this Arches National Park?
 
We hiked 3 miles to see Delicate Arch - the most famous of the Arches - and we had to
head up the "slick rock" (in the middle of the picture and it winds to the horizon along the left) to get there.  Hubby and son are looking at our path and hoping
that I don't notice how far it is!  We made this trek at dusk and I'll tell you it was beautiful
to see about 100 people work their way back down in the dark with various lights to guide
them.  I felt like we were on a pilgrimage - it was very moving!!!
 
Now we're on to dusk at Dead Horse Pointe State Park.  It borders Canyonlands
National Park. I love this because you get a great view of the red rock,
desert floor with the deep crevices and in the background you see the tall
majestic mountains.  Two very different climates and yet
both so full of beauty!
 
And just to show you the varying geography - this is in the back hills near Park City, Utah. 
The view was filled with Aspens that were just starting to turn colors.
The temperature was about 15 degrees cooler too.  Moab got up to 105!
This is Hubby and I.  I hate to have my picture taken - especially since my
hair is still coming in (about 1/2 inch a month - it's going to take me a year at this
rate to get it back to my shoulder length).
 
 
 
If you've made it this far...hope you have a fantastic fall day!
 
Thanks for stopping by,
Cath

I Love Fall...

So for today's Bellariffic Friday sketch challenge I pulled out Halloween design paper!!  This is from Echo Park called Chillingsworth Manor.  It's last years but I didn't even touch it.   Know how many times I do that!!!



I colored up Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Madison has a Margarita.  LOOOOOVE this stamp.  Stamped her onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored her with copics.  Then I cut her out so I could have more paper to be seen.  The sentiment also comes with the image and I stamped that onto Bella's Bestest as well.  I then topped it with a brown button topped with Black twine I found in my Salt Lake City travels.  Only other addition is Charcoal glitter applied with Quickie Glue Pen along the hem.

Cardstock is Bazzil and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White.  Finished card is 6 3/8 x 5.

Next week our challenge is Monochromatic Friday.  Pick your favorite Bella and choose one color to bring it to life including your papers.  Now this is going to be a hard one.  I love color.  Hmmm what shall we do?  If you find time to participate, send a copy of your creation to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night.  She'll include it in the Friday blog lineup and you might win $25 in Bella Bucks.  If you can't create - stop by and catch the inspiration.  You can leave a message for a chance to win $10 in Bella Bucks.  Not that hard right?

Have a great weekend.  I've begun to bring the fall decorations out, bought the mums for my porch and I'm on the hunt for good apple cider donuts.  Yup, I love Fall!

Enjoy,
Cath

Molly is heading to College

 
Hello folks.  I have another card using Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Molly Makes a Detour.  This one was a special request and does double duty as a birthday card for a young girl heading off to college for the first time. With all her bags, I thought she was perfect for the occasion.
 
 
 
I stamped her onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored her with copics.  Shading for the ground is prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  A corner punch was used on two of the edges.  I then placed the image over postage stamp design paper.  Finishing touches are a ribbon and sentiment banner flag.  the sentiment is also from Stamping Bella - I pulled it from Bye Bye Girl, a Mo Manning image released in rubber through Stamping Bella.  

Hope you all have a great week!

Thanks for stopping by,

Uptown Girl Opal

Hello folks!  I have a birthday card to share with you today using a semi-new Uptown Girl!  This is Uptown Girl Opal by Stamping Bella and it's taken me a few months to color her up.  I had the need for a birthday card and the recipient is quite the wine drinker so I thought Opal was a perfect choice!  Actually there some other Uptown Girls who love their refreshments too!  I think it's why they're one of my favorite lines!


Opal was colored with copics but I did add shading with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol as well.  As you can see I also added Tim Holtz Distress inks along the edge of the Nestie die while the die was left in place for additional shading.  I let my papers influence the color palette.  Soft yellows and greens can be found in the We R Memory Keepers Antique Chic 6x6 pack.

I've added some extras using MFT dies - the flag for the sentiment along with the flower die.  The border along the top and bottom is an EK Success die.  Finished card is 5x7.

Enjoy your week!!!

Christmas in July!!

This is one of my favorite challenges!  Here we are in a heat wave in Upstate NY and the thought of some cooling winter weather sounds somewhat appealing!  I said somewhat - I am still lovin' the sun!  The Babes at Stamping Bella will all be pulling out some holiday inspiration for ya and maybe you can get a head start on this year's stash.  I decided to color Uptown Girls the Three Amigas.  Oooh this was a fun one and I had some inspiration from Suzzane Dean.  I think I found her card while cruising  Pinterest. I was lovin' her green and black color palette and went with it here.

 
 
Don't you just love these girls?  Who wouldn't be having fun with a pretty holiday dress and a fun drink to boot!  Of course I had to add some sparkle too so there is an assortment of glitter as well.
 
Design paper is Making Memories, snowflakes are MFT Let it Snowflake Die-namics, pearls are Kaiser.  Finished card is 6x6.
 
Next week we have another sketch in Bella land. 
 
 
We'd love to see you play along.  Send a photo of your card to Emily by Thursday night to Emily@stampingbella.com and you'll be included in the weekly blog lineup.  No time to create, that's ok too.  But head on over to the blog for some inspiration and leave a comment.  There's Bella Bucks up for grabs every week.
 
Stay cool!

Uptown Couple

I was so psyched to spend some time in my craft room over the long weekend.  First up is a card using the image Uptown Couple Emily and Ryan under the umbrella.  This is going to my future daughter-in-law!  Yay, our son proposed on July 4th and she said yes!  We are thrilled.

I tried something a little out of the box for me, I stamped the image onto Bella's Bestest paper and then cut around the umbrella so that it actually became a covering for the image below.  I liked the way it came out and I liked how it let me use the design paper, Simple Stories Fabulous, behind it as a frame - especially with the love birds hanging out. 

 

Coloring was done with copics, embellishments are felt flowers made with MFT dies and topped with buttons.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Finished card size is 6 1/2 x 5.

Congratulations Justin and Cait!  Can't wait for the celebration!

Wishes come true...


I'm a little late for my Bellariffic Friday post I know.  Sorry - we've had a ton of rain here and our dang basement flooded...again!  I spent Friday morning trying to get as much off the floor and out of the house as possible.  It sure meant that we got a jump start on clearing out the remaining boxes and I found a few things I had been missing.  The whole task of moving and settling in has taken time...

So let's get on to this week's challenge.  We were given a sketch and I flipped it to fit my image.  I colored Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy.  I chose to color her in soft pinks and found a My Mind's Eye 6x6 pack of design paper that would suit that nicely - it's called In Bloom.  I matched that with Bazzil pink and black cardstock and machine stitched the layers.  The image was hand cut and placed on top for dimension and I also added the Party Banner die cut from Little Miss Muffet Stamps die.  



The sentiment comes with the stamp but this is actually only part of it.  I cut it and layered it on scrap paper and then cut using Nestie circle and scalloped dies.  Finishing touches are a metal flower with a clear rhinestone, glitter on Faith's skirt and tiny pink rhinestones on her wand and crown oh and a ton of glitter on the banner.

Next week our theme is Buttons...load 'em on guys and show us your creation.  Send a photo to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night and you'll be included in the Friday blog line up.  There's also bucks up for grabs for one person who leaves a comment so tell us what ya think!

Enjoy your week!  With the Fourth of July holiday I am looking forward to some extra time off.  How about you?

Be-YOU-tiful

Happy Bellariffic Friday folks!  Today's challenge was sistahs or friendship - so I made a card for a really great friend.  It's actually one of the new Uptown Girls.  This is Polly.  I think she is Be-you-tiful - just like my friend. 

 
 
I started by stamping the image onto Bella's Bestest paper- white.  I then stamped the chair onto design paper and cut it out.  I added some shading around the edges using prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  I then stamped the image again onto Bella's Bestest paper - colored it with copics and cut it out.  I know it takes a little extra work but I love the way it looks.  I love the white space of this card.  It showcases the image perfectly.  I layered this onto pink cardstock and then again onto Bella's Bestest Kraft paper. 
 
Now here's a peak at the inside. 
I generated the sentiment on my computer and cut it out with Nesties.
 
 
 
Now for next week's challenge we have another sketch.  I hope you can find time to play along with us.  And  you have a choice - make it a square or make it a circle.  Hmmm which one should I do?
 
 
Have a great weekend.  We have rain in the forecast but my Mom is in town and plan to head to the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY.  Can't wait!  We bought the weekend pass. 
 
Keep your eyes posted for Bella news on the release date.  I know I'm excited to get our newest artist, Christine Grove's whimsical farm friends into my hands.   
 
Ciao for now,
Cath

Molly ... over the miles

Happy Bellariffic Friday folks.  For today's challenge I decided to go square...yeah while I love the look of circle cards...I'm a little more adept at making them square.  So I pulled out Uptown Girl Molly sitting atop her luggage so she could send birthday wishes across the miles to my Sissy.  I was so surprised at how easy this sketch came together.



Once the image was stamped onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored, a Nestie circle die was used to cut it out.  Then I used a ruler and exacto knife to cut across the stacks of luggage...yes the image really does have more layers.  But with the half circle sketch, I thought her dangling feet would look neat. 

The paper is My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 3 - Ruby.  I added some wacky stitching along the edges and trimed out the hexagon border from the center strip.  A double sided satin ribbon topped with brad finishes this off.

Next week our challenge is a theme - Splendid Spring!  And boy am I ready for that!  Check out the inspiration on the Bella Blog and if you get a chance why not join us?  There's some Bella Bucks up for grabs every week.  Email a photo of your creation to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night.

Enjoy your weekend!

Thinking of you....

Happy Bellariffic Friday folks!  Today's challenge was an inspiration photo.  I'm starting to like these as there is so much you can take from them. 

Here's the photo...

 
 
I descided to take the swag feel of the lanterns and found Uptown Girl Winnie peeking out the window...the curtains had that same swag.  Then I kept the color palette with blue greens and yellows (not quite ivory but close).
 
Here's my take....
 
 
 
What a fun image this is.  Winnie is pondering some real thankful thoughts...I'm sending this as a thank you for some lovely flowers sent my way from the girls in my husband's office.  I'm telling ya - everyone has been sending me such lovely and encouraging thoughts.  I'll be making cards for a while to keep up with everyone.
 
Oh and the Easter cards are still on the table waiting to be addressed.  I told ya - I'm terrible about finding the time to get them made yet alone out the door.
 
Next week we have another sketch challenge.  It's pretty fun too 'cuz you get to choose if you'd rather do a circle or square card.  Hmmmm what shall we do?  Hope you can join us.  Just share your card with Emily@stampingbella.com so she can add it to the Friday Blog lineup and we can ohh and ahhh over it!
 
 

Enjoy your weekend!  For those celebrating Easter - I wish you safe travels and happy times with family and friends. 
 
Ciao,
Cath

Create your own sunshine...

Where has the week gone?  Or for that matter the month?  Life is moving fast.  But I'll tell ya that spring and sunshine are taking their time getting here though.  To help me wish for some sunshine and fast I've brought out one of the newest Uptown Girls Sunny is Stylish for this week's Bellariffic Friday challenge.  She sure is stylish...right down to her scarf and fancy gloves.  I LOOOVE her!


I've stamped Sunny onto Bella's Bestest paper and paper pieced her outfit with My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine and Lavender papers.  The briefcase was colored with copics. The ruffles and buttons were colored with a Sakura Black Glaze pen while the sunglasses were given a shine with Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects.  I've only used a portion of the sentiment and cut it with a Nestie Labels 10 die.  Cardstock is Bella's Bestest Kraft.

Next week our challenge is another photo inspiration.  Does this look like a good time or what?  Hope it inspires you to create and share with us.



Have a fabulous weekend!  I've got my Sissy coming to town with her family and we'll be heading to the city (yup NYC) for a fun day of exploration and shopping - Woo Hoo...it better be Sunny!

Ciao for now,
Cath

For the Boys...

Happy Bellariffic Friday Folks!  Our challenge this week is For the Boys...now you'd think that I'd pick a boy image to color.  Well, I decided to make a card for my Hubby - he's my boy!  Yeah - he's been so fantastic coming with me to chemo treatments and had helped my with recovery so I thought it might be nice to let him know just how much he means to me. 



I inked up Uptown Girl Brett and Brenda get Married and Polaroid Frame.  Love how you can use just a portion of the stamp and it changes the feel of it - see it's versitile, you don't have to use it for a Wedding scene!  I used a computer generated sentiment on the frame to tell him that that my love is forever!
ck
I stamped both onto Bella's Bestest paper, colored with copics and added shading with Distress ink.  The adornment on the top - reminded me of a an ornate picture hanger.  I cut it with a Heartfelt Creations Spellbinder die.  Design paper is My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing - Lavender.  I stitched two  pieces together and tied a double faced satin ribbon across.   I also accented with Viva Decor paper pen in cream in the corners.


Next week our challenge is a sketch.  Join us and you could win some Bella Bucks.
 

 
 
Now head on over to the Bella Blog to see inspiration from the rest of the Babes and sistahood!
 
Have a fantastic weekend!

Time to Relax....

Today I share with Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Reilly loves to Relax.  I was thrilled when my order arrived earlier this week so I would have some new rubbah to ink.  Now mind you I still have the latest release in delivery status so don't be fretting if you haven't received yours yet either.  



We had a wonderful sketch to play with this week for our Bellarffic Friday challenge.  I pulled out some new design paper that also was delivered this week from my latest Oozak purchase.  It's the newest My Mind's Eye line The Sweetest Thing - Bluebell and I love it!  Nice blue and golden colors.  Yum!  I loved it so much I decided to paper piece the chair after stamping the image again on this lovely golden print paper.  Now I didn't know how it would look since the pattern was roses to be combined with Lulu's flower bursts in the image.  But I love it!  I highlighted the flower bursts and seams of the chair and voila!  The sentiment is just a piece of the larger sentime that comes with the image. 

Next week's challenge is For The Boys!  A perfect time to make something for the men in your life!

Hopefully I get some good news from the Dr today and I'll be sitting in my chair relaxing too!  No wine though until the chemo is all done so me and my Crystal Light will have to do.

Enjoy your day!

Banners Galore

Breaking news - Breaking news....Stamping Bella has a new release TODAY!!!!!  Yay!  Head on over to the store or the blog to see our newest characters.  And for all orders over $55.00 Emily will be adding a surprise KETTO goodie bag (stamps will be randomly chosen) the value of the goodie bag will be approximately 30.00!! 

Now on to this week's challenge - add banners to your creations.  There are many ways you could have done this and frankly I love banners anyway you do.  So I hope you played along.



I started by coloring an Uptown Girl that's been in my stash but never seen ink.  Here's Uptown Girl Bunny and her Daffodil.  I thought she could help me with some Easter card collection.  Now don't laugh cuz I say collection because I have a tendancy to hoard the cards.  I can't decide who to send them to until it's too late so they head to the closet for the next year.  Do any of you have that problem?

Ok, you probably know the basics...what did I stamp her on?  Yup, Bella's Bestest and colored with copics and shaded with prismacolor pencils.  I've added glitter and of course the banners.  They were cut using the MFT die-namic.  Small twine bows, machine stitching and a zig zag die finish this one.  Woo wee.



Next week, we're back to a sketch.  Send a photo of your creation to Emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night or stop on by the Blog and leave a comment.  And there's also the "Make it Pretty" challenge on the SCS Forum.  Just use keyword BELLAMARONE2013.  We've got Bella Bucks galore and they might just come in handy with the latest release.  Have you checked out the new Uptown Girls, Duda's and Mo's?  Oh my they are all going in my shopping cart.

Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
