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 In...Brown and Blue

Hi Guys,

I hope your week has been a great one!

To be honest mine has been awful and I wont bore you to death with my socky socky la la whinging tales of woe roflol, your here to see a card for AnnaBelle Stamps Blog fun theme challenge and this week it's 'Say It In...Brown and Blue, love this colour combo!!!

So here's my card:

Even though I Love this colour combo I was a little stuck on what to do, all I knew I wanted to do was a Male card with a little distressing so I pulled out 'Rockin' Instrumental' Stamp Set by AnnaBelle Stamps, some jute string and my Waterfall Sprinkles also by AnnaBelle stamps and my design came together pretty quickly(Love when that happens lol)

I distressed all my layers of card stock using a paper distresser and sponged some brown ink around each of my layers, punched out my tags using a Fiskars Tag Punch which I picked up from Spotlight(a craft department store)on clearance for $2.00(I was quite chuffed with this bargain as I don't see many of them, bargains that is lol)and I stamped 'You' on one tag with some Blue ink and 'Rock!' on the other, punched some tiny holes at the top and thread them through the jute string!

I stamped my Drums in Chocolate Chip ink onto my White card Stock, I'm using the Copic card stock to do my stamping on for everyday stamping use, LOVE IT lol!

To finish of my card I placed some yummy 6mm Waterfall Sprinkles in the two opposite corner using my Sakura Quickie Glue Pen.

My Stamped panel of card stock has been adhered onto my Chocolate Chip piece and I have adhered these panels onto my Baja Breeze piece of card stock using some 3D foam mounting tape as I wanted this panel to be 'popped' up!

I know I have already said this but I love this colour combo and 'Rockin' Instrumental' is such an AWESOME stamp set to play with lol!

I hope you can join us again this week. All you need to do is make your creation using the colour combo of Brown and Blue and incorporate some bling and link your project from your blog or on-line gallery at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and remember you can use any stamps and bling you have in your stash!

Don't forget our Sketch Challenge # 30 is still up and running for your chance to win a $20.00 Gift Voucher to spend in the AnnaBelle Stamps Store and you can find my card HERE and for the Sketch and all the details for you to link your project can be found HERE!

AnnaBelle Stamps New Release-Preview Day 2

Hi Guys,

Welcome again to AnnaBelle Stamps New Release Preview for Day 2 and what a totally AWESOME set this one is!!!

Are you a 'Rock Chick' or a 'Cool Dude' maybe a 'Groupie' lol or do you see yourself as a 'Rock Star', do you like 'A Jammin' Good Time' and love to 'Make Some Noise'? Or do you know or think that 'You Rock'? Well your going to LOVE this Stamp Set from AnnaBelle Stamps!
Let me introduce you to the totally AWESOME 'Rockin' Instrumental' Stamp Set!

This set is sooooooooooooooooooooo 'Totally AWESOME and way COOL' and it will suit your Pre teens, teenagers and teenagers at heart even that 'Rock Chick' in your life lol!

So here's a few cards I made using 'Rockin' Instrumental'


With this card I used Peter's(hubby)Technique lol!
Peter took a real shine to 'Rockin' Instrumental' as he said it reminds him of his teenage years lol, so he told me how I should make this card (well sort off lol)
I embossed a 'Paint card' from Peter's work using the diamond plate embossing folder then Peter took it to work and painted it in Silver Automotive Paint and then he applied a clear coat, it turned out really good and I love the end result!
I stamped three guitars, two on Black card stock with Silver Ink and one on White card stock with Brown Ink.
I hand cut my guitars and used UTEE on the Brown guitar and stuck my three guitars using 3D foam onto my Silver and embossed panel.
On my Black card base I stamped my musical note border in versamark and embossed it in clear embossing powder then placed my Silver panel on top!
I stamped my sentiment 'You Rock' in Brown ink onto White card stock and used a circle punch to punch it out and layered this onto a Black circle and tied this around my Brown Satin ribbon from AnnaBelle Stamps with some twine.
To finish off my card I placed some Mini Silver Sprinkles onto my two Silver/Black Guitars!

Here's my other card I made the same way but using a different colour combo!


This is such a fun set to play with and I can't wait to make my teenage family members cards for once roflol!

Here's another card I made using 'Rockin' Instrumental'



For this card I used some Blue and White card stock and stamped my drums in Black ink and stamped the sentiment 'You Rock!' in Blue ink on the drum front.
I then placed some yummy Blackcurrant Metallic Sprinkles from AnnaBelle Stamps in the four corners to finish off, I kept the card simple, but tooting my own horn, I think it looks pretty good roflol!

It's a 'AWESOME' set, hey lol! Would you like to win this set? Andrea is giving away this set and all you need to do for you chance to win it is to go on another little 'Preview Hunt' lol!
