For the next four days, Bella Blvd is teaming up with Hampton Art Stamps to provide you with some stamping inspiration. Our newest cling stamps (Love and Marriage, Sand & Surf, and Kiss Me) are licensed and manufactured thru Hampton Art Stamps. We thought it was only fitting for a handful of our designers to team up with a handful of their designers, and see what they could all create using Bella’s products and the Bella/Hampton Art stamps.
“Best Wishes” card, by Laurie Schmidlin.
One of my favorite stamping techniques is paper piecing (stamping onto patterned paper and cutting it out). For my card, I stamped the heart (from the Love And Marriage Cling Stamp set) onto five different Love And Marriage patterned papers, cut them out, and then stitched them all together. I added a sticker border, Ciao Chip piece, Button Market button, and a stamped sentiment to complete the card.
Supplies:
Love And Marriage: Cute Cuts, May Eighteenth, Borders, Cake Tasting, Esther
Fleming Floral, Ciao Chip Wedding Icons, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Button Market: Pink Flowers; Hampton Art Stamps: Love and Marriage
“Congratulations” card, by Carina Lindholm.
When I usually make cards I use lots and lots of colors on them, so I thought it would be fun to do the opposite for once. I stamped all the wedding images in black ink on grey heart paper. I cut out all the images and adhered them all to the white card base using pop dots. And to give my card that little bit extra and a splash of color, I adhered a teal button among the stamped images.
Supplies:
Buttons Market: Gulf
Squares; Hampton Art Stamps: Love and Marriage
“Congratulations” card, by Sheri Feypel.
My inspiration for this card was the Wedding dress stamp. I knew that I wanted it to hang on a metal hanger on the front of my card. I stamped the dress twice, once on He Proposed and once on Esther Fleming Floral. I used the second stamped image for accents on the first stamped image, cutting out the scalloped waist and flower. I added a little dimension to the flower with a foam adhesive dot and topped it off with a pearl accent. I added another stamped image, the Diamond ring and attached it with Ivory twine to let it float on the front of the card. I also stamped my sentiment along the bottom of the card directly onto the floral print with a black ink. I love all of the layers on this card!
Supplies:
Love and Marriage: Cute Cuts, Cake Testing, Esther Fleming Floral; Engaged At Last: He Proposed; Hampton Art Stamps: Love and Marriage
Altered Gift Bag/Tag, by Sheri Feypel.
I love to personalize gifts, something as simple as adding a scrappy touch to the packaging. It just makes it a bit more personable and thoughtful. I altered a plain white gift bag with papers from the Love and Marriage collection. I cut out the flowers from the Cute Cuts and arranged them with dimension on the front of the bag. I then cut out a small tag and stamped it with stamps from the Love and Marriage Cling Stamps, which stamp wonderfully might I add! I also stamped and cut out the diamond ring and attached it with some Ivory twine so that it appead to be dangling (I used a small foam dot behind it to keep it from being damaged in transit). I love the little extra that the stamps add to my projects and this collection.
Supplies:
Love and Marriage: Vows, Cake Tasting, Turner Hall Ballroom, Esther Fleming
Floral, Borders, Cute Cuts; Hampton Art Stamps: Love and Marriage
