Happy Tuesday everyone,

Today I have a video to share with you for AnnaBelle Stamps. I am really liking one layered cards at the moment and so decided to create one using a couple of different techniques – masking and blending with Distress Inks. I also love silhouette stamping over the top of inked backgrounds. I think it makes for a dramatic card with not too much effort.

To view the video, head over to the AnnaBelles’s Stamp, Embellish, Create site and click on the link (you don’t need to be a member to view the video – but we would love you to join our little community if you like – its free!)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some inspiration from today’s video.

Until next time,

I needed a quick card for a baby shower yesterday…so I went CAS and love how it turned out. I used the HA Playful Animals set and came up with my own sentiment. This one is a mini card.

I am entering this into the current Hero Arts Challenge – Clean and Simple Stamping.

Thanks for visiting,

Welcome to another week at AnnaBelle Stamps. We have a fun challenge for you…Say it with Spots, Dots and Anything Round!

I decided to take a different angle for this challenge….my round things are M&M’s. I found these really cool cellophane treat bags on Ebay (after being inspired by my fellow Belle Kylie) and decided to give them a try. So much fun. I used the Shapes 1 die and the coordinating stamp set Boy’s Party to create the favour topper. The sentiment is from the Shape it Up stamp set.

I plan on making a ton of these for my son’s birthday in December to give to his classmates – I’ll just change up the sentiment – personalising it with each child’s name.

Hope you will find the time to play along. The winner will receive the Lil’ Monster’s Balloon stamp set. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles projects – their links are on my sidebar.

Hi,

Popping in quickly with a card for a challenge. I am entering this card into the current CASology challenge blog where the cue card is Week #6 School.

I used my one and only Paper Smooches stamp set “Smarty Pants”. It is always good to have teacher thank you cards on hand. I try and thank my son’s teacher at least once a term with something special…teachers do a great job and it is so important to tell them (I know as I am one!)

The images are coloured in with Copics and the apple is covered in Glossy Accents.

Thanks for dropping by,

Welcome to the latest stamp release blog hop for AnnaBelle Stamps. You should have arrived from the lovely Sue Kohler’s blog.

Today the stamp set ‘Shape it up’ is being released into the store.

It coordinates with the Cuts By Design Shapes 1 dies.

I decided to make a birthday party set – a mini card, a favour box and a cupcake topper (I couldn’t find any cupcakes – so I used Ginger Kisses instead! I love them!)

Now for a GIVEAWAY. In order to be in the running to win your very own ‘Shape it Up’ Stamp set, you need to comment on all of the DT’s blog and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz.

Your next stop on the hop is my very talented blogging buddy Therese. No doubt she will have some eye candy for us all!
