If you know me, you know I love making tags. Why? I think it is because they can be quick projects – quicker than cards. When I saw that Moxie Fab World had a Gift Tag Challenge, I HAD to play along.

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Sue’s lovely blog.

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Lil Belles set. There are quite a few Lil Belles sets, so check them all out below. Today I have decided to use A Beautiful Day stamp set.

For those of you who know me, patterned paper and I are not the best of friends. Well… I am pleased to say that several pieces of patterned paper were harmed in the making of this card 🙂

Now for a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to win a Lil Belle’s set (winner’s choice), 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 ALL the Lil’ Belles sets are discounted by 20% for this weekend only.

Your next stop on the hop is the one and only, and very talented Therese.

Thanks for stopping by,

I have some more cards to share for the Online Card Class – His and Hers.

I really loved Heather Nichols watercolour stamping on Day three, so I decided to give it a go. I didn’t end up making a Sympathy card for the female version, as I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment, but I managed to find a sympathy type sentiment for the male version.

I am also entering these into the The Wonder of Watercolor Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Stamps: PTI The Sweet Life Stamp set, Paper Smooches Reflections Stamp set, Hero Arts Live and Laugh Stamp set (sentiments)

Ink: Distress Markers – Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: Canson Watercolour paper – 300gsm, Hero Arts folded notecards – Iris and Pine

Other Supplies: Mister with water

Thanks for looking,

Wow! It is Friday already! This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we are having an Anything Goes challenge – Woo Hoo! Hope you will play along with us this week.

I decided to make a simple one layer card, colouring the image in with Copics. I am on a Copic colouring phase at the moment 🙂

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.

Good morning,

I am currently taking the latest Online Card Class – His and Hers. I was lucky enough to win a spot 🙂

This is my Day 1 Homework. I have made a His and Her card, both using the same sketch and both using the masking technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her Day 1 video. I had fun playing with my new Jane’s Doodle Stamp set called Doodle Flowers to create these single layer cards. Both of these cards use the set. For the His card, I used one of the leaf stamps and created a background. Does it work as a masculine card?
