Hi,

Today is release Day 4 at AnnaBelle Stamps where we are revealing the ‘Dotted Flowers’ stamp set. Another beautiful set with infinite possibilities.

And it is also challenge day! Say it with…one layer.

So to combine the two, I came up with this.

I did some masking to create a frame and then created my little spring scene. I handmade some clouds and sponged around then to create the sky before stamping. For the flowers centres I used white enamel accents from Ranger and also added some white dots with a white gel pen.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Dotted Flowers”
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distress inks – Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw Versacolor cubes – Opera Pink, Peony, Heliotrope
Card: Regal Craft Card (White textured single fold)
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle’s 4mm white pearls, scrap paper (to create the frame mask), Ranger white enamel accents, Signo uniball white gel pen, pink prismacolor pencil (for some of the flower centres)

Make sure you check out what the other DT members have created by heading to the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog.

Hope you can play along with us.

Hi there,

Hope you have been enjoying the new stamp sets that have already been revealed at AnnaBelle Stamps. Today the DT are showcasing the new “Stamped for Christmas” set.

My inspiration for this card was taken from this Christmas card made by Jennifer McGuire. I used the little star stamp from the set to make the patterned background along with distress inks.

I made my own clouds and added some texture by stamping the ‘With Love’ sentiment from the set.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Stamped for Christmas”
Ink: Tim Holtz distress inks – Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint, Broken China
Card: Regal Craft Card (White textured single fold), X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: AnnaBelles 3mm, 4mm and 5mm white pearls, AnnaBelles 3mm, 4mm and 5mm Cherry Sprinkles, foam dimensionals, red DMC floss, Kaisercraft patterned paper – Stocking, blending tool, glossy accents (to adhere pearls and sprinkles).

Hi there fellow crafties,

I have some super exciting news to share with you today! I have been invited by the wonderful Andrea to join the AnnaBelle Stamps Design Team….and I couldn’t be more excited! I am officially now a Belle!

Annabelle Stamps is an Australian online business that carries an original range of high quality photopolymer stamps…check out the store and have a little lookie, not only at their stamp range but other stamping essentials as well (like Copics, inks, twine etc).

Anyway, onto the blog hop where the DT are showcasing the new stamp set ‘Whimsy Flowers’ which is being released into the store this Friday. If you have hopped over from Patti’s blog you are in the right place.

I thought that it was fitting to start my time here at AnnaBelle stamps with a hello card.

Aren’t these flowers just the cutest? Lots of distressing used for the background and the flower was painted with watered down distress inks to give a watercolour look. The green gems are AnnaBelle’s Lime Sprinkles and I also used striped grosgrain ribbon from the store.
