Welcome to another Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week the Belles are showcasing the newly released Printable Pages 1 and 2. These are so easy….just print and colour!

I decided to make a little Christmas scene – with snow and all. Very un-Australian…our Christmas’ are usually spent finding places to cool off! I wonder what a cold Christmas would be like? And snow – well I can count on one hand the number of times I have experienced snow – I think the novelty would wear off with me as I hate being cold. Give me a hot day, any day! But I am digressing…

Snow scene

I even used glitter! Another rarity for me. I think I wore glitter for the rest of the day 🙂

Featuring Christmas Stamps and a Giveaway!

Happy Friday Peeps!

For this week’s Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps, the Belles are showcasing Christmas Stamp sets. Go here to check them all out. Today I have used the Jewelled Tree stamp set.

Now a couple of weekends ago I did a little spot of shopping at the Brisbane craft show – and among quite a few purchases, I bought some Hero Arts shadow inks. So today I went to town using the colours Bubblegum, Green Hills and Pool.

Merry Christmas

And I also used my new Sakura Gelly Roll pen. I’m not usually a glitter girl, but I do like my new pen. A lot less mess! Hopefully you can see the glitter goodness a bit better in this photo.

Merry Christmas - detail

Giveaway! As we are focusing on Christmas stamp sets, how about a giveaway? I have an extra copy of the Gifted Swirls Stamp set (see image below). It is not the set I have used today, but it is one of the many Christmas sets available at AnnaBelle Stamps. Leave a comment on this post by Monday 9am (AEST) and I’ll randomly choose a winner. I am happy to post worldwide 🙂 Want to see how this stamp set can be used – head here and check out some projects.

Say it with…Mint, Emerald and Rose

Hello crafty people! Welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps colour challenge. This week we are saying it with Mint, Emerald and Rose (or the colours that you have that are the closest to them).

My green is a little more lime, than mint – but it was the best I could come up with. I tried really hard this week to work with a background colour other than white – so green it was. The Baubles are from the Decorated Christmas set (I also used these matching dies). The sentiment is from the Holly Branch set and the leaves are from the Garden Silhouettes set. I popped one of the baubles up on some foam for added interest and also added some white enamel accents.

Supplies

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Decorated Christmas Stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Holly Branch Stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Garden Silhouettes Stamp set

Ink:  Memento ink – Rose Bud, Bamboo Leaves, New Sprout

Card: AnnaBelle Stamps Smooth White card stock, Bazzill Light green card stock

Other Supplies: Ranger enamel accents – white, silver thread, foam dimensionals, WRMK Corner Chomper


Don’t forget, this week’s Deal of the Week (which starts on Friday and will run until the following Friday) is the Decorated Christmas stamp set which is 20% off for one week. Head to the ABS site for more details.

This week’s winner will receive a $10 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have had a great week…mine has been somewhat hectic so glad it is now the weekend!

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a sketch challenge as we have come to the end of another month. Where is this year going?

Well even though I am on holidays at the moment, my mojo is somewhat lacking, as silly me decided to have a garage sale this Saturday!! Therefore in order to get some inspiration flowing through my veins, I decided to look through my archives and find some inspiration from a previous card. When I came across this Christmas tag I created last year…I decided to do a remodel and make it into a card. So glad I am taking the KickStart Online Class.

Supplies

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps  Squared Posies stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps  BBD# 5 stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Gifted Swirls stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Daisy Delight stamp set (leaves)

Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black, Versafine – Vintage Sepia, Memento – Tuxedo Black

Card: AnnaBelle Stamps Kraft card stock, AnnaBelle Stamps Smooth White card stock

Other Supplies: WRMK Corner Chomper, MFT Layered Label Die, Cuttlebug, AnnaBelle Stamps Metallic Sprinkles, Copic Markers – RV29, R29.

This week’s winner will receive a $10 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will find the time to play along. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles projects – their links are on my sidebar.
