Stamped Cards....Stamping Bella

Hello everyone
as promised yesterday, today's card images are from Stamping Bella...one of my favourite stamp companies, and to top it off they are Canadian. I love supporting Canadian businesses and they are an easy one to support. I have a few cards to show today so I won't bother posting the supplies used but if you want any info let me know.


 
Enjoy the rest of your day

Paper Piecing Tutorial

Good Morning
for today's masculine card from 2007 we are back to Stamping Bella and this cool dude is called beerafella. If you take a close look at his shirt and shorts you'll notice a pattern on them. The technique I used here is called paper piecing and is super simple to do.

He is a quick tutorial for how I made this card....
  1. I stamped beerafella on to 3.5" x 2.25" white card stock
  2. then stamped him on to a blue & red patterned paper
  3. then cut out the shirt on the blue paper and the shorts on the red paper
  4. and coloured in the belt on the shorts with a black felt 
  5. then designed card front 
  6. and attached the white card stock with first stamped image to it
  7. and coloured in desired areas on the white card stock with twinkling h2o's
  8. then attached the shirt and shorts with dimensional tape to pop it off the page
  9. and viola....
...and with the leftover pieces on the patterned paper you can make another card but with a red top and blue shorts. 

    Have a great day

    Happy Victoria Day....

    For me, generic cards for guys are a challenge. I do fine when I am making memory cards for the guys in my family but when I am making cards to sell I have to consciously make some for guys.....not sure why but it just is. I did better last year but wasn't blogging then so I am showing them now.This is a fun, fresh looking card.It's not quite beach time yet but itsa comin.There is not a lot going on with this card but (as you have heard before) I think simple is better.

    Tune in tomorrow for some more guy cards

    welcome Little One


    Good morning and thanks for checking my blog today. I am told I need more baby, wedding and shower cards at The Essential Packaging Store where I retail my cards so that is what I will focus on the next little while. I love the simplicity of this card and it was super quick to make...though I did have the baby in the pea pod already coloured and cut out so that helped too. When I have a chance I stamp & emboss a bunch of images and colour what I can so they are ready to use...they are handy to have already done when you need to make a card quickly.

    Supplies Used
    • stamp...baby bella pea from Stamping Bella
    • versacolor black
    • embossing powder
    • twinkling h20s
    • white card stock (envelopments)
    • scrap metallic teal card stock
    •  ribbon scraps
    • bright white card stock
    • nestabilities die
    • computer for printing 

    Let me know what you think.....
    Thanks
    Cheryl
