Bye Bye Bella & Friends

By | April 29, 2019

Today I thought I would share another stamp set I’m sad to see retire – Bella & Friends, as the dog mom of two German Shepherd I always love stamp sets with dogs.

For my first card I kept it simple:

  • Crumb Cake card base
  • Basic Black Mat
  • Classic Garage Designer Series Paper Mat
  • Layering Circles, including a scalloped circle in Basic Black
  • Burlap ribbon
  • Bella is colored with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake and Lovely Lipstick

For my 2nd card I used a Smoky Slate card base 4.25″ x 11″, scored at 5.5″, folding at the side. I’ve cut 1″ from the front end and added a 2″ strip of Blueberry Bushel Designer Series Paper on the inside for added dimension to the card. The card base is stamped with the Cracked Paint Background stamp in the same color for tone on tone. Bella is stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in Smoky Slate, Dark Crumb Cake and Night of Navy, Greeting is on the smallest Rectangle Stitched Framelit die cut using Thick Whisper White.


Here is a close up of the front of the card, the focal image is in the bottom left corner, with about the same border on the right and bottom. Silver Metallic Pearls finish off the card with some bling, subtle enough for a man or woman.
