Best Wishes for a bride to be...

I made this card for my aunts engagement. The large pink cut is a the frame cut from Cricuts Home Accents, embossing is from Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl and Congrats sets. I just love Bella stamps. This was a gift to me in a stamped image swap... she is Daintybella I think I need to buy her now, LOL! Thanks for lookin!

The Cuttlebug Spot: Challenge 1: Ink up!

Who doesn't love their cuttlebug?! What a great challenge over at The Cuttlebug Spot. This weeks challenge was to use any folder inked. I have been loving these pop up cards for a while now but never tried them out... well, what a perfect oppertunity! For a YouTube tortial by Dawn, click HERE.
For this card I used the spiderweb folder inked with black pigment ink and the dots from the Border: With Love pack. Stamps are Bellas: Witchybella colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits and StudioG. Other: Lime prima, skittle dyed with alcohol ink and misc ribbon.
Thanks for lookin!

Bella Birthday Card

This year my step-mom turned 50. She had a fun party with loads of friends. I made her the following invitations to pass out. Her color was purple... everything and more purple... I brought in a lot of textured elements simply to these by heat embossing the stamp, embossed paper with the tiny bubbles cuttlebug folder and stamping with a versamark ink pad for a suttle touch on the scalloped cut. The stamp is 'partygirlabella', found at stampingbella.com. Thise little ladies are too fun.
