A Bugg And A Bitty…

Posted by Jen | Bella, cards | Monday, March 30, 2009

When I first got hooked on Stamping Bella stamps, I was all into the Bellas. Since then, the company and the lines have grown and my heart continues to skip a beat. Right now, I am {not so patiently} waiting on the Kettos to arrive. Fortunately, I have plenty {and I mean PLENTY} of other Bella stamps to play with, many of them not previously inked.

Today, I have a couple of cards to post. The first one uses BEEday HUGGABUGG, which is part of the Tiddly Inks line. I deviated from my norm and used some bright colors, which I like to set off with black.

The flower is by Jillibean Soup and I topped it off with a Making Memories brad. The ribbon is from Wal-Mart. They have a few bright, fun, spring colors in satin. I was really drawn to the pink and I think it put a nice finishing touch on the card.

The next card that I have to show is one that uses Poppy Bittybloom from the chichiboulie line {and you know how much I love this line!!}. I was drawn to this image because I knew that I wanted to color red to match this paper from Collage Press {available thru Stamping Bella}.

The corner was created by cutting a square in half to make a triangle and then punching the long side with the Flourish Border Punch {purchased through Impress}.

See ya tomorrow!

    I always love your cards, Jen! But your Huggabug is so bright and fun!!! I am trying desperately not too look too closely at all the Ketto’s because my will is ready to snap and any moment! I keep adding them to my cart and then being good and leaving them!!! Hope you get yours soon so you can play!

    These are both adorable!! Love the color combos on both, and that corner treatment on the second. I tried to order that punch back when you used it on your Verve V-Day project, but they were out. Today they had it! What Copics did you use for your reds?

    They are wonderful! The Huggabug card looks like a gift in itself and it’s so wonderful to see Poppy in all her splendor!

    Gorgeous, gorgeous cards. Tiddly Inks and Chichiboulie are my two favorite Stamping Bella lines. I especially like the Poppy Bittybloom card. Thanks for sharing.
