Happy Friday Peeps!

For this week’s Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps, the Belles are using the newly released stamp set Remember When. Andrea has discounted this set by 20% over the weekend.

This week I have made a set a mini note cards – 6 in total. They measure approximately 10.5cm by 7.5cm. My idea for this card came from the VERY talented Angeline Yong and her card here. She is a master at layered stamping, so I decided to give it a go in two different colour schemes.

And I even made a matching carry bag for the set which my 3.5 year old just adores! Little girls and their handbags!

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects to see how they have used this set – their links are on my side bar.

Hello. It’s time for another sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

I decided to try something a little different for me…I used pattern paper as the base. I thought it fit in with the tree image quite nicely. This stamp set is called Tree-MEN-dous, but I love making it feminine by adding flowers! Oh how I long for spring…I am so sick of winter!

Hello and welcome to the AnnaBelle Stamps new release Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Kylie’s lovely blog.

Today, three new stamps sets are being released into the store. They are Cherry Blossom, Remember When and Beside the Sea.

First up I have made a card using the set Cherry Blossom. I had fun painting with Distress Markers and water onto watercolour paper.

Next up I used the Remember When stamp set. This one is coloured with Prismacolor pencils and a Derwent blending pencil.

Now for a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to win all three new stamp sets, comment on all of the DT’s blog and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz. You have until Sunday 8pm (Australian EST) to enter.

Also if you purchase all three new stamp sets as a bundle, you’ll get a 20% discount, but only for this weekend.

Hello. It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a fun theme challenge for you. Who doesn’t like polka dots?

I have to give full credit to Sue Kohler and her idea of using the AnnaBelle stamps ‘Shape it Up stamp’ set and turning it into a flower. Check hers out here. Here is my take on it.

And in other news, I’m not sure if you have seen, but I am one of the guest designers in the current online class Summer Card Class 2. I am super excited to be involved and very honoured at the same time. This class is really jam packed with videos and fun techniques. Check it out here.

Happy Friday Peeps!

Long time no blog! I have good reason for my absence – I have been sick! I am still not 100% and it is dragging into its third week, but this winter’s flu got me good and proper. But I think I am FINALLY on the mend, but no crafting has been done until yesterday.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps the Belles are teasing you with sneak peeks of some stamps that will be released into the store very soon. Make sure you visit all the Belles blogs to check out their awesome creations.

Last week I didn’t play along, but TWO news Belles were introduced to the AnnaBelle DT. Please stop by Tobi and Marcia’s blog to welcome them – even if it is a week late! Welcome ladies. I can’t wait to see what you guys create each week.

My card this week was inspired by Cristina Kowalczyk. I loved this card of hers and pinned it immediately – that girl comes up with the MOST clever ideas sometimes. Here is my humble version of hers.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects for some more sneak peaks – their links are on my side bar. Lots of fun is coming to the store soon.
