HEY FRIENDS! I decided to pull another Stamping Bella image out of my stash – this time it’s Bundle Girl and the Beehive. I love the bees in this image and couldn’t resist coloring them.

HEY FRIENDS! It’s time for another edition of Nancy and Jill Color Together! As you know that Jill Killeen of Killeen House Studio asked me to participate in a monthly challenge with her where we would color the same image and see how we each interpreted it.
This month we’re coloring a digital stamp by Lili of the Valley called Lucky Mouse. If you want to play along, you can find the stamp in their Etsy shop. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

As you can see, Jill and I went in different directions this month. Jill matched her colors to her design paper, which created a beautiful contrast overall. I stuck to lighter colors and added a stenciled background. I added the clouds after I finished the Copic coloring using Distress Ink in Speckled Egg.
And here’s Jill’s interpretation of this image. Check out her blog post for all of her card details.

HEY FRIENDS! I’ve got something different for you today. I bet you think that all I color are cute bunnies and sometimes that’s what it feels like. So for a change of pace, I pulled out one of my favorite Stamping Bella images today — Bundle Girl Cherry Blossoms — to share with you today.

I stamped the image on Hammermill cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and then colored the image using Copic markers (see list below). I fussy cut the image, added foam squares to the back and set it aside.
For the back ground, I used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set to cut both a plain and decorated rectangle from Hammermill cardstock. On the plain bordered piece, I stamped an image from the Stamp Set #399 Framework Elements stamp set using Archival Ink in Watering Can. Next, I used the Lotza Dots Stencil to inkblend a random design. I intended using Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron, but I hadn’t cleaned off the stencil from the last time I used it so I ended up with random colors that transferred from the stencil. A happy accident!
I created an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest and assembled the layers as shown.
HEY FRIENDS! I’m back with one last card from the Anita Jeram Summer Garden release by Colorado Craft Company. Today’s card features the Carrot On stamp set as well as some creative stenciling for the background.
For the background, I cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ and ink blended the bottom third using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Sprout. For the remainder, I used the Cloud Stencil and Simon Say Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Marine to create the sky.
I stamped the image from the Carrot On stamp set on Hammermill cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I colored the image with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image, but coordinating dies are available.
I adhered the image panel to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest and assembled the layers as shown.
That’s all from me today! Hope you’ve enjoyed the new release!

HEY FRIENDS! Can you stand more cuteness? Today I have three cards for you featuring multiple stamps from the Anita Jeram Summer Garden release by Colorado Craft Company. I’ve been on a roll the past few days, making several cards from the new images. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Therapy stamp set on Hammermill cardstock and adhered it to the front. Although you can’t see it in the photo, I also stamped the “Find Me in the Garden” sentiment on the side panels. I used Versafine Ink for the sentiments.
Next, I selected images from the following stamp sets:
The images were stamped on Hammermill cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers (see list). Coordinating dies (see Supply list below) are available for the stamp sets, but I didn’t have them so I fussy cut the images. After deciding on the placement, I adhered the images in place on the grassy layers using foam squares.

This card is much simplier in comparison to the first! I cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ and stamped the image from the Anita Jeram Rooting for You stamp set using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. The image was colored using Copic markers (see list above).
I cut a scrap of white cardstock to 3.75″ x .75″ and stamped the sentiment using Versafine Ink in Onyx Black and cut the two sides as a fishtail. I adhered the image panel to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest and assembled the layers as shown.
I added foam tape to the back of the image panel for dimension and adhered the panel to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest as shown.
That’s all for me today! See you again soon!
