Bella Mania

Have you checked out Trish's "One Sheet Wonder" template on SCS? I did and check out what I did... It's Bella Mania...

The designer paper I choose has brown, pink, green and blue dots so I was able to pull those colors into each card. I choose to stay with bordering blue, certainly celery, pretty in pink, very vanilla and kraft card stock and markers for most cards.. Each stamp was from the Michael's new $1 clear stamp bin. Had to give them a try. I will just tell you the idiosyncrasies of each.. That way your reading will be kept wayyyyyyy down... LOL

Card #1 I used the sylis flowers embossing folder from Cuttlebug and swirled (back to those darn technical terms again) a little chocolate chip craft ink on with a sponge to pop the flowers a bit. The Happy Birthday metal tags I picked up at Joann's quite a while ago so it was nice to finally use one.

For the flowers on Card #2 I used the Cuttlebug flower dies to cut them out. I then ran it through the Cuttlebug flower embossing folder to add the floral design to each. Again the Happy Birthday tag is a little something I picked up in one of my "I have to just run in for a second" trip's to Joann's. If you click on the image it's a little easier to see that I've added a little glitter to the cake. What's better could be better?

Card #3..This time I an the designer paper through the textile textures embossing folder and added glitter to her dress and 'diamond' stickels to the bling..

Card #4.. Appletini anyone??? Just a little green SUP organdy ribbon here..

Card #5... this time I ran the certainly celery card stock through the divine swirls embossing folder and added a little pink sheer ribbon..

Card #6.. the 'Best Friends' was another embellishment from Joa nn's..

Card # 7... I put that Cuttlebug back to work on the certainly celery paper.. This time it was the bloom dots embossing folder. The flowers are from prima (of course wink ;) wink ;) ).. I cut out the purses from the designer paper and Xyron'ed them . Now she has 'designer bags'.. LOL oh how I crack myself up..

Card #8... This time I used the fancy corners embossing folders on the designer paper. Cut out my oval & scalloped fringe from a Sizzix die and added a few of the new sprite's Prima's.

Card #9.. Don't you just love this new scribble die from cuttle bug. It's one of their new 2-step dies. I purchased this one thinking how great it would be for big clippies.. I've added a little glitter to the flowers to dress them up a bit.

And finally.. Card #10... I just love her.. This time I used the spots & dots embossing folders. Are you starting to think that I have a Cuttlebug obsession yet. If you have the answer would be .. YOU ARE CORRECT.. LOL.. I added a few primas and Viola .. Done..

Don't be sad, I'll make more.
