Spinner Square Pop Up

Here at last, running a little later than usual.

I thought I'd use my newest Die set today
Karen Burniston - Spinner Square Pop Up
Very reasonably priced and on special at Bizzy Bec's Store.

It's a really fun card to make and pop ups often impress though not much work.
especially when you have the right equipment.

Wild Rose Studio Stamps - Bella and Daisy

It has lots of potential for using many different ways.

I certainly needed the instructions for the first time  click here for instructions.

I did try to video my card to see even the amateur can get it to run smoothly 

but it wasn't compatible with the site.

Trick or Treat....

Hi everyone, dropping in today to share my card with you.

My inspiration for this image stems from this month having Halloween at the end of it.  I am not generally one to celebrate anything Halloween but occasionally I like to make a card showcasing something along that theme.  I hope you like her.  I just love the quirkiness of the new Oddball Characters from Stamping Bella.

She has been coloured with two different types of media this time.  For the skin I have used Prisma coloured pencils and the rest of the image was coloured with Copic Markers.

Supplies used:

Stampingbella - Oddball Shopper

Avery Elle Die - Wonky Stitches

Other supplies used are listed here on my blog.

Lots of new goodies have been added to the store so pop on over and check them out.  Also dont forget to join us for this months  'Anything Goes Challenge'.

Unicorn Happiness

Hi Louise here with a quick, easy and super cute birthday card to share.

I stamped my unicorn, from Stamping Bella Set of Unicorns, onto Spectrum Noir White cardstock ad coloured her using copic markers.

I then fussy cut her out and set aside

Next I cut a piece of Spectrum Noir white cardstock to 13x8cm.
I then mounted my sentiment from Avery Elle Big Greetings to my stamp block.
To get the rainbow I gently rolled each part of  stamp onto my different coloured dye ink pads, making sure to blend the edge of the last colour into the new colour.
I then huffed on it as it takes a little time and I wanted it to still be wet.
I centered the sentiment and stamped.
This is the first time I have tried this and it turned out pretty well.
I have since re-inked my red ink pad.

I then stamped the small stars around the sentiment and adhered my unicorn.

I hope you will try this rainbow effect for yourselves as it is a lot of fun.

Sentiment and Dies

Hello everyone and welcome to Bizzy Bec's.

It's Meighan here sharing with you a card I created and a little challenge.

For my card I wanted to use a sentiment and some dies.  After going through my stash the two dies I decided to use were from Spellbinder.

The sentiment is from one of the stamp sets I have had for a while.

Here is my card:

Supplies used: Spellbinder Dies

So my little challenge is to use some dies and a sentiment from your stash and if you need any dies, 

Bec has some fantastic dies you can order.

If you get a chance to create something, please share with us in our September challenge here.

Have a super day.

After cutting out the large pinked rectangle I used the large pinked square turned on its point and cut out twice inside the rectangle to create frames.  The dragons were stamped onto Copic Paper using Memento Ink in Tuxedo.

Thanks for looking.
