AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Hop

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and everything in your part of the world is going great for you!

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps new Release Blog Hop and if you hopped your way here from Sue W's wonderful blog then your hopping along the right path lol!

Today we are showing you two sets a new release and showcasing an old favourite lol, so with out further ado let me introduce you to our new release 'Background By Designs 4'...

What a great set to create your own backgrounds!

Here's what I created using 'Background by Designs 4'

I made two very simple cards using the same image and colours and the only difference is I used Pearls for my flower centres on my card on the left and Icicle Sprinkles for my flower centers on the right!
I can use my cards in either landscape or portrait and I did not include a sentiment as I thought these would make a great card to give for any occasion!

Very simple cards to create in no time!

Here's a close up of the flowers and Icicle Sprinkles:

Supplies Used:

AnnaBelle Stamps:  'Background By Designs 4' Stamp Set, 3mm White Pearls, 3mm Icicle Sprinkles

Other:  White and Dark Pink Cardstock and Dark Pink Ink

The next stamp set we are going to show you today is a favourite amongst the AnnaBelle Team lol, The One and Only Super Cute, 'Lil' Monster's Ballon'...

Isn't he Adorable?

Here's my card I created using 'Lil' Monsters Balloon'...

AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Sketch Challenge # 35

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and had a wonderful week!

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Sketch Challenge and what an Awesome Sketch Andrea has created for us this month!

So here's the sketch:




and here's my card and take on the sketch:



I have used AnnaBelle Stamps 'Backgrounds By Designs~Numbers' and have used the Blocked Border Image, I stamped the image onto my Black cardstock using some versamark Ink and I embossed the image in some AnnaBelle Stamps Clear Hi-Gloss Embossing Powder.

I used the the guitar from the 'Rockin Instrumental' Stamp set and I embossed it in some yummy AnnaBelle Stamps Ebony Embossing Powder, cut out my guitar and adhered it on my circles using some 3D foam mounting tape.

My sentiment reads 'You Rock' and I have stamped it three times in some Versamark ink and embossed it in some more Ebony Embossing Powder, at this stage I didn't follow the sketch and forgot about the sprinkle placement lol!

To finish off my card I used some AnnaBelle Stamps 3mm and 4mm Licorice Sprinkles in my bottom right hand corner!

Guess what??? No Pink and Brown roflol(but I was tempted lol)

Say It With...Sprinkles

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and enjoying the last day of your week and looking forward to the weekend, I know I am lol!

Today at Annabelle Stamps Blog with have a new challenge for you and this week it's a AWESOME one...'Say It With...Sprinkles'(bling)!

AnnaBelle Stamps sell these Fabulous range of Sprinkles in different beautiful drops of colour to add a touch of 'bling' to your projects!
They come available in different sizes and shapes like hearts and you can purchase them in mixed colours.
I do have to say that AnnaBelle Stamps sprinkles are one of my all time favourite embellishments and I'm totally in LOVE with them lol!

Here's A Pic Of Some Of The Yummy Range Of 'Sprinkles'

Yummy, Hey? LOL!

So here's My Card For 'Say It With...Sprinkles'



For my card I have used the 'Jewelled Tree' Stamp Set from AnnaBelle Stamps and embossed my 'Dotty Tree' in some gorgeous AnnaBelle Stamps silver Embossing Powder and randomly placed some yummy 'Mini Cherry' Sprinkles that comes in a cute little pot with three different sizes, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm and I also used some '3mm Blueberry' Sprinkles to represent twinkling lights!

I used one of the star images from the 'Jewelled Tree' stamp Set and stamped it in Versamark Ink onto my Blue Card stock in two of my corners but it doesn't show that well in the photo lol!

I used a Spellbinders Label Die and Stamped my sentiment 'Seasons Greetings' in Versamak onto Blue card stock and I also embossed the sentiment in Silver Embossing powder from AnnaBelle Stamps.
I then took the same star image and stamped it in a little more Versamark onto my label.

I used some gorgeous Red satin Ribbon from AnnaBelle stamps and thread it through the holes of the label and tied it off using some silver Thread from my box of goodies lol and mounted the label using some 3D mounting tape.

To finish of my card I placed some of the 'Mini Cherry' sprinkles in the top right hand side corner of my card.

I really like this stamp set but I have to keep myself from filling the whole tree with Sprinkles lol!

I hope you can play along with us this week.
If you don't have any Sprinkles, no worries, just use some 'Bling' from your stash and link your creation from your blog or on-line gallery at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog as we can't wait to see what you create lol!

Hello All My Lovelies,

It's AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Challenge time and this week's fun theme is 'Say It With...Green and Pink' I love this colour combo and I have used this colour scheme before on a past Christmas card that you can check out HERE if you like lol!

I wanted to make a 'Girly' card for a younger girl and I think it turned out pretty cute lol!
So Here's my card:

O.K. Here's a Kylie Confession lol, This is the first time I have inked up this super cute little girl....gasp!!!...lol! I was scared that I couldn't do her justice as I suck at colouring but since I found the wonderful world of Copic Markers, I'm colouring everything and having a blast lol!
I know I have such a long way to go with my colouring but you just have to step out of your comfort zone and have a go lol!

Here's all the super yummy thing I used on my card

~Mini Sprinkles in Artichoke from AnnaBelle Stamps
~Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
~Green, Pink and White Card Stock from SU!
~Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
~Paper Doily from my stash and I got these at my local newsagent. I paid about $2.00 for a packet of 50
~Silver Flower Charm and Jump Rings
~3D Foam Tape
~Copic Markers, LOVE them lol!

I tried to make a little charm bracelet for my little girl but I think the flower charm is a touch too big lol!

'Congratulations'

Hi Guys,

Hope your all doing well and the start of your week has been a creative one lol!
I just want to share with you a Vintage looking Congratulations card.

I'll show you my card first and fill you in on the details about the card etc lol!
So here's my card, sorry the photo isn't the best lol

Now to cut a long story short without raving on lol!
As some of you might know, I'm a YouTube junkie, I love to watch all sort of video tutorials and try my best to have a go. Well I came across a AWESOME YT video tutorial that shows you how to make these silk vintage looking flowers that's on my card.
You cut out your silk circles using nestabilities circle dies or a sizzix circle die, layer them and then you get a lighter and carefully go around your circles gently melting the silk, place a little lace down the bottom and place some pearls, beads or gems in to the centre.
Well I tried to do this and nearly burnt the house down so I thought I better not try and make any more lol!
So I was so happy that Arlene(Check out Arlene's blog OMG, talk about stunning creations)was selling these handmade flowers in packs, so I took the cheats way out and brought some lol and I kid you not, they are STUNNING and look a lot better in person!

I used Graphic 45 Paper from the Le Romantique Collection, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black and Groovy Gava Card Stock from Stampin' Up!, Oval Nestabilities dies, Cream Pearl Sprinkles from AnnaBelle Stamps, Black Embossing Powder and my sentiment came from a pack of 15 different sentiments and is a clear stamp set and I picked up this set for 99 cents from Target and I was shocked at how well they stamped lol and of course Arlene's Vintage Silk Flowers!

You jut got to love the Internet, it's full of inspiration and at time it's a little overwhelming with ideas, if you know what I mean roflol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and putting up with my bad grammar and ravings lol! Till next time, take care, hugs and smiles,
~Kylie~

Here's the video on how to make the silk flowers if you want to give it a go! The artist in this video is AWESOME and makes the most stunning Vintage creations!
Enjoy!
