Stamping Bella Blog Candy

It's been a while since I posted a Stamping Bella card, so here are a few I've done lately.


I used Daisybella for this card, along with a couple of sheets of gorgeous Memory Box Sprout patterned paper.

I made 2 slightly different versions of the next card following the Bella Sketch #22 and using Is that a cupcake on your head?:

I'm not sure which Nesties shape I prefer with this image. Although I really like the shape of the first one in general, I think the second shape really goes well with this particular image. The paper is from the DCWV Sweet Stack and the sentiment is from one of my fave Papertrey Ink sets - Mixed Messages.

Now onto the blog candy part (I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post this!): A while ago, I won the most INCREDIBLE blog candy from Em on the Stamping Bella blog - one of EACH of the new stamps released at the beginning of January!! I thought it was going to be 5-7 stamps, but it turned out to be 24!! HOLY CROW!! Em is the queen of generosity, yes?! Here's a picture I took of the haul - you can see I was so excited that I started ripping them open before I even thought to take a picture!
Well, since I haven't even mounted all the stamps I got from my Bella's anniversary order and I just had to place an order last night for some of the brand new releases, I knew I would never give all these fine stamps the loving they deserve. So I've gone through the collection many, MANY times, and picked out 5 that will go on to a better home through my first ever blog candy giveaway! The 5 are Lilly Loveaboo, cuddly owlies, twinkle toes huggabug, hanging heart block, and love collage.

***This giveaway is now closed. Thank you!***

If you're interested in winning, please leave me a comment at the end of this post, and tell me what your fave Stamping Bella image is. I know it's really hard to narrow it down to just one, so if you want, you can name several! I will pick a winner at random on Monday, February 16, 2009 at 12:01 am Hawaii time.

I have to say that right now I'm really loving Is that a cupcake on your head? because I'm obsessed with cupcakes and it's just so cute!! Now it's your turn!

    I just got my first order of Bellas a couple of weeks ago and I'd have to say that my favorite is the Huggabug on a Cuppycake. Mostly because my little sister liked it and asked me to make her some cards. :)

    I can't pick just one favorite so I'll just say the last one I bought was my favorite. I don't remember the name but it was a young girl with a poodle. I am a poodle fancier and tend to buy any stamp that has a poodle on it. Anyone else out there a poodle fancier?
    Thanks for the blog candy.
