Mother's Day means Stamping Day!

My family said today is my day and I could do whatever I wanted, so...of course I said I wanted to stamp in peace. I feel a little guilty because VSN is next weekend and I am stamping all day then too. I am going to Minnesota for meetings at my Corporate office on Monday and Tuesday so I can't stamp for two whole days!!! I thought I would try to make myself "sick of stamping" so that I wouldn't mind missing two days. I spent the day making Bella RAK's for my Paperpretties RAK group. I don't have Rockabella yet but Shirley, aka wannabecreative, stamped me these images.
Stamps: Rockabella, Rubber Stampede
Ink: basic black, bashful blue, caramel, yellow, red
Paper: black, white, red, patterned unknown
Accessories: cuttlebug embossing folder, primas, ticket corner punch, brads, stickles

I had some left over paper after making the Rockabella card so I used it for this Imeldabella card. It's a pretty simple card but that's the cool thing about Bella's...they look cute no matter what you do with them!
Stamps: Imeldabella, Impression Obsession
Ink: black
Paper: Pink Passion, Black, white, and patterned paper
Accessories: Flower from Makin' Memories, dog tag punch, watercolor pencils, brad


I really like how this card turned out! A while back I had started a card and then didn't use it. I had embossed the tan paper and adhered it to the cocoa card and then didn't know what to do with it so it's been laying on my table for over a month. Seemed perfect for a "cocoa" themed card. I love when things come together. It's hard to see in the picture but I cut out the blond Bella's dress from the same daisy paper that is on the left side of the card. It's super cute in person.
Stamps: Javabellas, Stampabilities
Paper: Cocoa, white, caramel, daisy unknown
Ink: black, caramel, cocoa, bashful blue, yellow, blush
Accessories: dog tag punch, cuttlebug embossing folder, hodgepodge hardware

Here's another one with the Javabellas. I love this stamp because the girls just look like they are having a really nice time together! I love this sentiment too!
Stamps: Javabellas, Inky Antics
Ink: black, red, cocoa, yellow, blush, white craft
Paper: black, red, white, checkered paper unknown
Accessories: cuttlebug embossing folders, ribbon from Michael's, corner punch (for scallops), dog tag punch, white embossing powder, heat gun






I've bought this Happy Birthday paper at JoAnn's w while ago, thinking it would be cute with Giftabella, but this is the first time I have used it. This card seems a little plain for me but It's cute.
Stamps: Giftabella
Ink: black
Paper: turquoise, pixie pink, white, patterned from JoAnn's
Accessories:Creative memories oval cutter, Prima's, brads

Hi! I saw your blog link through a comment on craftaholics annonymous and I love your work. I added you to my google reader.

I could have stamped for Mom's day too but just didn't. Oh well.

Your cards turned out great.
