Hello and welcome to the new stamp release blog hop for AnnaBelle Stamps. You should have arrived from the very sweet Kylie’s blog.

Today, two new stamp sets are being released along with some new dies! First up here is the stamp set Easter Chickadee with matching dies!

For this card I used the dies and a sentiment and created a colourful stack of birds.

Next I used some of the cute flowers from the set to create a little garden scene.

And last but not least is the Easter Blessings stamp set. I just fell in love with those tulips!

Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we have a sketch for you.

I had fun creating this card…it took a little while for it to come together, but that is normal for me. I was happy with the results though.

The flower is from the Daisy Delight stamp set, the musical background is from the BBD#6 stamp set and the sentiment is from the newly released Designer Flowers stamp set. I love all the sentiments in this set.

This week’s winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar. Make sure you also stop by Janet O’Brien’s blog – she is Guest Designing with us.

This card was a really quick (and small) birthday card I made for a friend’s son who had a birthday last week. I already had the rocket coloured in, so it took less than 5 mins to assemble, which is unheard of for this slow crafter. The rocket stamp/die is from Papertrey Ink and I just can’t get enough of my AnnaBelle Stamps background stamp – BBD#5.

Short and sweet today. Thanks for dropping by,

Hey there,

Here is the other set of cards that I made as Christmas gifts. I made two sets of these. They are very similar to the first set that I blogged here.

As you know, I love making colourful sets of cards – I’m addicted.

Just before I go, I want to show you the latest addition to our family. His name is Mack. He is adorable and is being drowned showered with love by my two kids. It is their first pet, so they are very excited!

Wow…2012 is about to come to an end! Hard to believe really.

Today I am sharing a mini card set that I created for my sister-in-law as a Christmas gift. I love making sets of cards as I think they make the perfect handmade gift. I should have photographed them in pairs to reduce the number of photos, but I didn’t think about that in the rush just before I had to wrap them and send them!

I coloured in the daisy die and also the background pattern with Copic markers.

I love using Hero Arts note cards as the base…I love all of the colours!

I appreciate you stopping by. I’ll be back soon with another mini set that I made – slightly different to the one above.

Welcome to this week’s colour challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. They are such bright, happy and summery colours don’t you think? Quite fitting for the warm breezy spring days that we have been having lately.

I made this mini card (7.5cm by 11cm) by first drawing a grid with lead pencil. I then stamped the small butterfly image from the Whimsy Flowers set repeatedly using the grid as a guide. When all the butterflies were stamped I coloured in the negative space around the images with 3 shades of Copic markers. I finished off the card by going over the grid lines with a felt pen and ruler. The result was a rather colourful and graphic looking pattern.

I have created this card for the Repetition Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

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.
