Oddball Girl Power Altered Pizza Box | Stamping Bella

Hi all, 

I recently came across garlic bread pizzas in Lidl and instantly thought what a cool gift the box would make. When I opened it up, the bread inside was wrapped in plastic so the box was clean and perfect for altering! 

The stamp I used is Oddball Girl Power, which I stamped on copic blending card and coloured with Copic markers before fussy cutting around the outline.

The box measures approx. 7" x 7" and I shaped the papers by using the box as a template - drawing around it with a pencil. 

When I had the sides and top covered I layered papers onto the front using various dies for the stars, circles and letters. 

I used 3D foam strips to adhere Oddball Girl Power to the front. 

Finally, I cut out the sentiment using a stitched rectangle die and positioned it behind the image. 

The box can be used for a small gift, candy or anything else you like. I baked a 6" chocolate chip cookie which fit perfectly inside. 

Both of these stamps, plus so much more are now available over on the store. Check out the WHAT'S NEW section to see all of the February release stamps.

Curvy Girl Birthday | Stamping Bella

Hi all, today is my birthday so I made a birthday card for myself using my favourite colours, techniques, craft supplies and, of course, one of my favourite stamps - Curvy Girl Eats Cake

My favourite colours for cardmaking are pink and teal. 

Dress and shoes  - BG11, BG13, BG45, BG53, BG57

Flowers - R30, R32, R35

Plate: BV11, BV13

Cake: E51, E53, E55, R30, R32, R35

Leaves: G20, G21, G24

Shadow: W00, W1, W3

A favourite technique of mine is to use a scoring board and stylus to create a frame around the image. I do this by turning the image face down and scoring on the 1/8" line on all four sides. 

The teal, mint and pink papers are a mix from various different brands. 

My next favourite thing is to decorate the inside of the card. This does add a lot of weight to the card and is more expensive to mail but I just love the finished look. 

I also added a place to hold a gift card - who doesn't love gift cards?? 

On the card front I stuck down the card and paper layer. 

Then I used strips of contrasting paper and adhered them to the back of the image, before gluing that down onto the paper base layer. 

Finally, my favourite embellishment - enamel dots. I have these in just about every colour there is; you could almost say I have an obsession with them! 

And here is the finished product! All of my favourites on one card. Happy Birthday to me!
