Well most of you (if anyone even reads this blog) know that I love my Bellas.  Today I was feeling a little creative and took the Beachabella stamp and turned her into an “Easter Playboybunnybella!”  I know it is sought of twisted for Easter but..cute nonetheless. I made this for my hubby. (Sure wish I looked like her)

 I added her tail and ears and removed her sunglasses. I tried to make em’ fluffy using tulip puffy paint but doubt you could see that in the picture. I omitted the beach blanket and have her holding a sparkly egg instead. The beach basket is now an Easter basket with glittery (stickles) eggs that I hand drew. I turned the bikini into a leopard suit et voila! I think she came out pretty cute! TFL!!

I just got this image through my wish rak friend “Montana” I have been hoping to get this for quite a while! I colored her in with SU WWC Crayons and added some stickles to jazz it up. The sun and the sentiment are from other SU sets (Sunny Seasons Greetings and Blooming with Happiness). The background is Cuttle Bugged with the mosaic embossing plate and added a few eyelets and a rhinestone to bling it up. I am addicted to these bellas!

I received this knitabella through wish rak too (Thank You Julie Lacey!) I had to have her for my mother who knits all the time- she will love this one! I colored her in with the SU MM Markers. I used liqued appliqué to try and make the wool look like wool - it added dimension but hmmm not sure sure it looks like wool.  She came out cute though..

I had to get the “Globetrottabella” because it is very fitting since I travel so much…. I couldn’t wait to play. She arrived on July 27th - I just didn’t get a chance to update my blog.

 It’s hard to see-in the picture but I popped the globe and suit case for dimension. I added some stickles/glitter to jazz it up on her head band, belt and the globe. She was fun to color and create. The backgrounds is a Cuttle Bug embossing folder with white craft ink pad to paper to pop the design. I used some SU designer paper and some floral brads…. I think she is cute- I tried a different layout and hoped for the best…

 I made this card today using the SU WWColor crayons and re-inkers with the aquapen. I usually use colored pencils or markers for the bellas so this was a first for me. I like the end result and will have to play with the watercoloring some more.

I made this one today for a co-worker who has a tons of shoes and the best wardrobe in the building- it suits her well.  I used the Happy Birthday cuttle bugged BG and the white craft pad to make it pop. There are stickles on the boots and bow in her her (hard to see) added a rhinestone to the belt and some ribbon and mini brads to finish it off I like this one more than I thought I would- I want all of the bellas they are just so versatile.

My sister and I are doing this catering/waitress thing as a second income and I made this chefabella card to send as a Thank You to one of our customers. I think she came out pretty cute and you never know - maybe I can get a Stampin Up customer our of the deal and kill two birds with one stone …

Okay so I was inspired and felt a little ambitious today. I made 6 more chefabellas and I think one is cuter than the other. So hard to pick a favorite!  I made all of the aprons by paper piecing and matched them to their corresponding background paper. They all have the same design/ layout but all look different.  I love em!

I made this card to inlcude with my nieces graduation gift- it seemed fitting since they are going to Jamaica!

Tonight is my niece Danielle’s Senior Prom. We are very proud of her because she has worked so hard and is graduating in the top ten of over 300 students! She will be studying Biology at Providence this fall and wants to be a doctor.

For her prom Danielle has a purple gown so I used the Daintybella and modified her a little bit. I paper pieced the dress with designer paper and used micro beads to bead the top of it. I used a floral ribbon for dress accents and hair clip. She is colored in with good ol’ colored pencils and I used SU “riveting” sentiment- finishing it off with brads and eyelets. The background is the cuttle bug “You” embossing folder and the words are popped by using the white craft pad direct to paper technique. A lot of work on this card but it came out cute.

For the graduation card- Her cap and gown in obviously gold with a white color. I added dimension to the card by popping the roses/flowers, rolled a piece of paper and made a diploma, popped the cap and tassel too but could barely see it. The background is done with the SU paisley stamp and then cuttle bug embossed with the D’vine swirls embossing folder. Again I used the SU “riveting” for the sentiment. I added some ribbon, eyelets et voila…finsihed one of a kind graduation card. I gave her long hair to match Danielle’s and think it came out ok.

I Love how you could modify these bellas and use them for almost every occasion! Thanks for looking!

Here are a few more Bellas that I created today. Below is my “PMSBella” The bowl of popcorn is actually popped up with tulip puffy paint so it really looks like popcorn. Picture doesn’t really show it well enough. I also used liquid applique on the chocolates to make em shiny. The designer background paper is SU “Au Chocolat” which I love…

This is my “BarBella” I had to get her because the whole workout theme is very fitting in my life these days and who doesn’t know someone on a diet!

You have to love these Bellas they are fun to color and create with and with 68 of them there is one for every occasion! Sadly, I have more than half of the line so more Bellas coming soon.

I have finally found the time time to play. I am loving my “Bellas” The Artista bella is my favorite for obvious reasons- she reminds me of me (I think I even had that hair cut back in the art school days lol..)

The Cosmo Bella -I named Long Island Bella because I gave her rhinestone earrings and big hair- so Big Diamonds, Big Hair- she’s a Long Island Bella!

There are so many of these little Bellas (I just ordered 8 of them) and they’re too cute. I only wish I came up with the idea to design these and put them to rubber because they are the latest stamping craze and the simplicity of the design is mindblowing! Oh well…more Bellas coming soon!
