AnnaBelle Stamps 'Say It In...Lime and Orange'

Hi Guys,

I hope you had a wonderful week!

It's Friday so that means it's time for another fun AnnaBelle Stamps Blog challenge and this week it's a colour challenge, so grab your supplies as you need to 'Say It In...

and this week the Design Team are all using the same stamp set 'Lil' Monster's Ballon' and we are also showing you a sneak peek of a new line Andrea is offering very, very soon...'DIES' How Exciting!!! The die we are showing matches 'Lil' Monster Balloon' and these dies can be used in your Cuttlebug, BigShot, BigKick etc and they cut through the cardstock like butter!

So here's my take on this week's challenge:

I created a little skinny treat holder with M & M's using my diecut 'Lil' Monster' as the topper!

Here's a closer look:

I cut out my 'Lil' Monster' in Orange Cardstock and again in the Lime Cardstock and cut out 'Lil' Monster's top and clear embossed the stars and adhered his top to the Orange Lil' Monster and I did this to the balloon too!

This little treat holder is for one of my Son's little friend at school!

Supplies Used:
AnnaBelle Stamps: 'Lil' Monster's Balloon' and 'Background By Designs-Numbers', Hi-Gloss Clear Embossing Powder, 0.8mm Lime Hemp Twine, Lil' Monster Die(coming soon)

AnnaBelle Stamps 'Say It With...Twine'

Hi Guys,

I hope you're all well and had a wonderful week!

It's Friday so that means it's time for another challenge brought to you by AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and this weeks challenge is a fun one, so grab your supplies as you need to 'Say It With...

LOVE twine so I simply love this challenge lol!

So here's my card:

I used my twine and created some lollies/sweets that were so easy to make!

1) Punch out a circle of scrap cardstock or cut out a circle free hand.
2) Cover your circle with adhesive. I used double sided red sticky tape.
3) Starting in the middle wind your twine around in a circular motion and when you come to your last round, apply a little glue and adhere the end to the back of your circle.
4) For the lolly wrappers use some cello but for my wrappers I used a piece of packing that I had. Placed your 'lolly' in the middle and tape the two edges together at the back of your lolly.
5) Twist your two ends and if you like tie a little piece of twine or cotton to keep your ends from unraveling and presto, you have a cute lolly/sweet ready to use in your projects!

Here's a close up of my 'Lollies':

I was inspired to stamp my 'Happy Birthday' sentiment border around my card after seeing Andrea's Awesome Card that I just had to 'CASE" lol!

Supplies Used:
AnnaBelle Stamps: 'All Squared' and 'Background By Designs-Numbers' Stamp Sets, 1.5mm Red/White Hemp Twine, 1.5mm Lime Hemp Twine, 0.8mm White Hemp Twine

Other: Red and White Cardstock Red and Black Ink, Double Sided Tape, Scrap Plastic Wrapper

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)

AnnaBelle stamps New Release Blog Hop ~ Day 2

Hi Guys,

I hope your enjoying your weekend!

Welcome to day 2 of AnnaBelle Stamps new release for October and if you here and hopped from the lovely Andrea's blog your hopping in the right direction lol!

so with out further ado, let me introduce you to our first stamp set that we will be previewing today...'Teresa's Numbers' and what a fun set this one is!!!

and here's my card I made using 'Teresa's Numbers'

I was going for a grungy looking sort of card, as I wanted to make it for my Nephew who will be turning 18 in a few weeks(feeling old now lol)and he loves that sort of look lol so I distressed and sponged around all the card stock layers and card base.

I stamped my '18' in some Brown ink on my Kraft panel randomly all over lol and I also stamped '18' on the Kraft smaller panel that is on the front of the card and my sentiment 'You Rock!' is from the 'Rockin' Instrumental' stamp set from AnnaBelle Stamps.

I finished off the card by wrapping some hemp twine around and by placing a Tim Holtz Muse Token that reads' Unique' hanging from the twine.

A very simple card to put together and I do love distressing and sponging and getting my fingers all inky roflol and I think(I hope lol)that my nephew will love his card, it's so him lol!

The next set is a BEAUTY and if you love using background and borders stamps, I think you will love this one lol, So let me introduce you to...'Backgrounds By Designs ~ Numbers'

and here's what I came up with using 'Backgrounds by Designs ~ Numbers' (sorry about the poor quality of photos, I think my camera is on it's last legs)

I thought I'll do something a little different so I decided to make some treat holders and I used the 'Numbers Border' and I stamped the border in Versamark ink and embossed the image in some AnnaBelle Stamps Hi Gloss Clear Embossing Powder and tied some Silver cord around my die cut.

I used the number '5' and the Star images from 'Teresa's Numbers' and randomly stamped them in some White ink onto my cello bags, filled my bags with some assorted lollies carefully trying not to taste test roflol and adhered my topper to the bag.

I kept my treat bags fairly simple as I'm going to give them to Connor and a few of his friends and you know kids, their more interested in the contents then the 'artistic' work roflol!!!

I so enjoyed playing with these sets and you can to by continuing the 'Blog Hop' and leaving your comments along the way!

So I'm going to send you off to Teresa's Blog and Teresa will have more stunning creations to share but don't forget to leave your comments along the way for your chance at winning today's preview sets, how cool is that?

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again on Tuesday for day 3 of AnnaBelle Stamps New Release Preview!

Till then, enjoy the rest of your weekend, Take Care and Keep Smiling,
