Hampton Art/Bella Blvd Blog feature! - Day 1

This week we are doing a combined blog feature with Bella Blvd designers to showcase the great 

Bella Blvd/Hampton Art stamps! Each day, check out the Hampton Art blog and the Bella Blvd blog for great projects created using the Bella Blvd licensed stamps. Make sure you leave a comment on both blogs... we are giving away great prizes at the end of the week!

Hi Everyone.  

It's Leanne here today to share with you a cute little birthday card using the new Bella Blvd | Sand & Surf (IC0226) cling stamps.  I simply stamped the flower images onto the patterned paper and fussy cut around the outside edges.  I then layered the flowers into a bouquet arrangement, leaving room for the sentiment in the lower right corner.  I used foam tape on some of the flower images to add dimension to the card.

Happy Birthday card by Pam Brown ** NEW KI MEMORIES**

Hi everyone! Pam here today to share with you a card I created using the new KI Memories Mini Celebrations Birthday collection. The ruffle paper and ruffle stickers made it so easy to add dimension. I am a big fan of using stitching on my projects, so it was nice that they already had done that step for me! 

For the sentiment, I used the Hampton Art licensed Echo Park Scoot Stamps. There is an outline around the “Happy Birthday,” but to not have that on there, I added tape over the outline part of the stamp, inked the stamp, and then peeled the tape off and stamped. I added the little triangles afterward to draw your eye to the sentiment.

Going My Way card by Melinda Spinks

Hello everyone, it’s Melinda with you today and I have a card to share using the Hampton Art licensed Jillibean Soup stamps from the Irish Farm House Soup collection.

I couldn’t resist this gorgeous bicycle stamp so decided to have it as the centre focal point of the ombre circle. I added extra pops of color with the brads to give the card some added fun and vibrancy.

To create the ombre background I cut a circle from old cardstock to use as a mask and blended three different distress inks with a blending tool.

Supply List:

Stamp
Hampton Art Licensed Jillibean Soup Stamp set – Irish Farm House Soup (JB0012)

Inks
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mustard Seeds
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Peacock Feathers
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mowed Lawn

Other Supplies
Jillibean Soup Staples II – Yellow Salt Patterned Paper
Clear Finish Embossing Powder
Cardstock – White
Brads – Doodlebug Chunky
Round Corner Punch
Hand Held Circle Cutter
Foam Adhesive
