Belles 'n Whistles Blog Hop

Welcome to the Belles ‘n Whistles “All Customer Blog Hop” We are so excited to be a part of this special release. Along this hop you will find those new releases. And we, as customers of Belles ‘n Whistles, get to play along using any of our favorite BnW Stamps…

Today we are celebrating the rebirth of the darling SweetArt girls designed by none other than Artist Elisabeth Bell. Belles ‘n Whistles now has a total of 17 SweetArt girls in their store. They were just too beautiful to be left sitting in the archives. Elisabeth Bells talent deserves better than storage, don’t you think?

If you have just popped in, it would be great if you started in the beginning, and hopped along with us. You will find the master list of participants over on the
Belles ‘n Whistles Inspirational Blog. To keep things easy, please follow that list and leave a comment on each blog. Do you know why? Because YOU could win a stamp from Belles ‘n Whistles, just for leaving some love along the way. There will be FIVE winners chosen randomly from comments that have been left along the way. No one knows who’s blog the winners will come from.

So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, tea, or Lemonade and enjoy all the fun and exciting things we, the Belles ‘n Whistles customers, have to share with you today.



I thought I would make my first Christmas card of the year, can't believe I'm so far behind, it'll be here before we know it! I went with a tag card and the cute Belles 'n Whistles stamp I used is from the Snowbabies Collection called Peek-A-Boo.

Image is colored with copics and glittered with stickles. On the fence I added "snow" using Distress Crackle Paint (picket fence), it's also used along the edges of the DP. DP is the gorgeous Webster Pages, so hard to cover any of it up! I added a snowflake behind, buttons, pearls, etc.

Here is the inside of the tag, this will be going to my friend Dena. I stuck her name on the tag and stickled around the letters, this is so sparkly! I added more snowflakes and the sentiment is wordart from Studio Bethany.

Close up. Thanks so much for stopping by, enjoy seeing all the wonderful creations along the Belles 'n Whistles Blog hop! :)

Stamps: Belles 'n Whistles: Peek-A-Boo Snowbaby, Wordart-Studio Bethany Paper: Webster Pages- Home For The Holidays & Winter's Wings, PTI Scarlet Jewel, Neenah, Bazzill Extras: Buttons, Stickles, Snowflake Dies & Punches, Lace, Ribbon, Magnolia Fence & Tag Die, Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence)
