I know, long time no speak! The less than stellar start we’ve had to 2017 in this household left me bereft of mojo both for creating and blogging. Thankfully the sun is shining today and slowly my mojo is returning. I haven’t exactly been sitting around twiddling my thumbs though, as you will see! I can finally share the behind the scenes stuff I’ve been working on for…

THE LATEST STAMPING BELLA RELEASE! Whoo! Today is the first day of sneak peeks, and you are going to love them.

Stamping Bella March 2017 Release Info:

Previews start today and go on until the big release day on Thursday 30th March 2017. All the stamps and coordinating Cut It Out dies will be available on the Stamping Bella website on release day.

NOTE: readers in UK/Europe – Tracy at DiesToDieFor has her order in and should have the stamps in for you stock soon! Feel free to stalk the website. 😉

This release is a WHOPPER. There are so many fantastic images and I’ve had a blast colouring them all for you. It has been torture not being able to share until now. I’ll get on with it, shall I?!

Day One Release Peeks:

This first day of peeks is a stunner. I know so many of you will be as pleased as I am about the addition of more gorgeous Tiny Townies, especially Tiny Townie Garden Girls!

I’m going to start with my favourite, a stamp I have been bugging Emily for (I like to nag her, it’s fun 😉 ).

Tiny Townie Susie the Succulent

I LOVE succulents, possibly because they are tolerant of my inattention to watering. Isn’t our little Susie here amazing? So much fun to colour.

Stamp: Stamping Bella Susie the Succulent available 30/03/2017
Supplies: Copic Markers, Make it Colour Blending Card, Echo Park Digital Paper Pack, Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangles dies

Copic Colouring Video:

You can watch me colouring the image in the video below or in HD over on YouTube.

A free downloadable Copic Colour Map will be available for this image on purchase, and you can also see the colours used in the video.

Little Susie needed some friends…so lets take a look at the other stamp set I nagged asked Em ever so nicely for!

Succulent Chicks

It is no secret that the Cool Chicks line is one of my favourites, and I have a particular fondness for the chicks that look a bit fed up, so cute and funny. See if you can spot my favourite in this line up…

Stamp: Stamping Bella Succulent Chicks available 30/03/2017
Supplies: Copic Markers, Make it Colour Blending Card, Echo Park Digital Paper Pack,American Crafts Thickers sticker

I’ve used all of the chicks in a row on my card, but they come as individual stamps with coordinating Cut It Out dies so that you can use however many you like, and arrange them in all sorts of ways. I’m thinking a card with both Susie and some chicks may be in my future. 😉

Before we get to the gorgeous new Garden Girls, another little lover of the outdoors:

Squidgy Daisy

Since they were introduced in the last release earlier this year, the Squidgies have proved quite popular. I’m not surprised, they are completely adorable and great fun to colour with plenty of larger spaces for blending and practicing techniques.

Meet Squidgy Daisy, she’s fresh from the garden, as you can see!
