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'...

and here's a close up of my Li' Monster...

I have also used 'Background By Designs 4' Stamp Set, the strip of stars on my card.

Supplies used:

AnnaBelle Stamps:  'Lil' Monster's Balloon' Stamp Set and 'Background By Designs 4' Stamp Set, 3mm Boysenberry Sprinkles, 3mm Licorice Sprinkles

Other:  Purple, Orange and White Cardstock, Black memento and Versamark Ink, Pattern Paper, Border Punch, Spellbinders Tag and Circle Dies, Orange Satin Ribbon, Copics, 3D Foam Mounting Tape

Say It In...Red and White

Hi Guys,

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Blog 'Say It In...' fun theme challenge and this weeks theme is 'Say It In...Red and White', what a yummy colour combo lol!

So here's my card:

My AnnaBelle Stamps Stamp Sets of choice for this weeks challenge is...'Background By Designs 1' for the gorgeous swirls and circles borders and 'Sentimental Bluebells' for my sentiment!

I stamped my border on the top and bottom of my White panel in some Red ink and I randomly placed some 3mm White Pearls and some Mini Chilli Sprinkles from AnnaBelle Stamps onto random circles.

I stamped my greeting, 'Birthday Greetings' in Red ink onto White cardstock and punched out my sentiment using a SU! oval punch and I have placed my sentiment onto a scallop oval punch out and placed this onto my card using some 3D foam mounting tape in between my borders.

I love this border stamp and using all different sizes and colours of Sprinkles with it, so much fun making different combinations!

Say It in...Black and White

It's time for another fun theme challenge over at AnnaBelle stamps Blog and this weeks fun theme is 'Say It In...Black and White'

and here's my creation:

I kept my card simple and used my favourite technique, Heat Embossing, love pulling out the old heat gun and embossing powders lol!

I used the 'Floral Silhouettes' stamp set by AnnaBelle Stamps and embossed my images in some Opaque White Embossing Powder and I embossed my sentiment in some Ebony Embossing Powder which is available at AnnaBelle Stamps.

I placed two Pearl Sprinkles on both sides of my sentiment to finish of my card, a very simple CAS card and I Love using this stamp set for embossing.

Say it In...Cream

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and had a wonderful week!

It's time for another fun theme challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and this week it's...'Say it In...Cream'

I found this theme a little challenging but I guess that's why it's called a challenge lol!

So Here's My Card:

This is not my usual style but I thought I'll get out of my comfort zone and have a go at a shabby distress look.

I stamped my Rose image from AnnaBelle Stamps 'Ballerina Rose' Stamp Set in versamark ink onto some Very Vanilla paper Stock and embossed it in some yummy Opaque Vanilla embossing powder from AnnaBelle Stamps then distressed it with some Tea Dye Ink.
I also used the Tea Dye Distressing Ink on my Very Vanilla layers and the little hang tags.
To finish of I used some Tan ribbon and some scrap Black organza ribbon and some lovely Cream Pearls in my flowers centers and on the side of my Vanilla layer.

A very simple creation in a very different style that I'm used too lol but I so enjoyed getting my fingers all inky lol!

Would you like to join us?
Just make your creation using 'Cream' and link your project from your blog or on-line gallery at AnnaBelle stamps Blog, we can't wait to see what you create lol, so I hope you can join us!

Say it With...Embossing

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and had a fab week and looking forward to the weekend, WooHoo lol!

Today is Friday and that means it's time for another fun Challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and this weeks fun theme is 'say It With...Embossing'
I Love embossing, dry embossing, heat embossing, just LOVE it lol!

So here's my card

Here's The Yummy Goodies I Used On My Card
~Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla Card Stock
~Unknown Pattern Paper
~'Sentimental Bluebells' Stamp Set By AnnaBelle Stamps
~Opaque Vanilla Embossing Powder
~Tan Satin Ribbon
~Small Mix Cream Pearls
~Spellbinders Dies
~3D Mounting Tape
~Paper Piercer
~Apron Lace Border Punch

I wanted to do both dry and heat embossing on my card but it wasn't working for me. Like usual I left my card to the last minute and was pressed for time so I just stuck to heat embossing.
Now here's a Kylie tip lol, when you have finished with your heat gun do NOT place your hot heat gun onto a piece of acetate, trust me, the way I'm going with my crafting, I'm going to burn the house down, I'm so clueless roflol!
While I'm confessing my crafting sins, don't leave a pair of scissors around where your 5 year old can get to them to give a cat a hair cut or should I say a fur cut lol, my poor old cat cops a lot, getting glimmer misted, glittered and now his fur cut lol.
I hide my scissors as my craft desk is in the lounge so Connor must take notice where I keep them so I'll have to find another spot lol!

Do you want to play along with us this week? I do hope you will, just made your creation using embossing on your project and link your project from your blog or on-line gallery at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog so we can check out your creations, we love seeing what you make!

Our sketch challenge #26 is still going on for your chance to win a stamp Set from AnnaBelle Stamps, you can check out the sketch and all the details HERE!
