Bella and Friends Skittles Card
I have a super simple card for you today and I’m using the Skittles image from the Bella & Friends Stamp Set.
To be honest I made this card using some scraps left on my desk …. The thick Whisper White card front measures 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 (8-1/2 x 4-1/4, scored @ 4-1/4). The Old Olive Designer Series Paper is from the Brights Collection and it measures 2 x 4 (it was laying on my desk left over from making Bella cards last week).
Skittles was stamped with Black Stazon ink and cut out with the 1-3/4 Circle Punch. I colored her with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. And then added it to the 2″ Circle with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
The Real Red Strip measures 4 x 1/2″ and the greeting (“I Love You”) is from the Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set.

Stampin’ Up! Supplies:
Skittles stays with me on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because Chase has work and school on those days/nights and that would be too long for her to be in his apartment alone. And on my watch last week we had a scare. I let her stay on top of the cage all day … and she LOVES to pick up her swing and toss it … but ….. last week when she tossed it … she went with it. I knew she was hurt but Chase thought she was fine … until Friday came along. So …. Chase, Brooke and I took her to the vet. She’s okay … just a bruise …. thank goodness! And, I’ve taken away the swing until we can find a way to bolt it down. This explains where I was on Friday when I should have been working … sorry about that! (I was also at the eye doctor at 8am getting the darn stye lanced … sadly I need to have it done again ….. grrrrr!)
Back to Skittles … here’s a picture of her today.
I have a few reminders for you today … I’m not sure if I’ll have a post for you tomorrow. I’m having another procedure on Friday (some spots removed on my face that look suspicious) and I need to get everything in order.

Skittles is so darn adorable and beautiful. Angie positive thoughts and prayers that you will do great with eye exam and the spots on your pretty face. Thanks for all you do. Have a good day.
Totally agree with Raquel – this card is adorable and good thoughts are sent your way, Angie.
A Skittles card! This would be darn cute for Valentine’s Day! I just love my Bella and Friends stamp set!
This card and Skittles are both absolutely adorable. I’ll be sending good thoughts your way.
Both the card and Skittles are so cute. Sending healing thoughts your way. Take care of yourself.
Glad Skittles is OK! Love that sweet card you made… a ‘get well’ card for Skittles?
Skittles is a such a pretty girl! You are lucky you found a vet for her. The last time my parrot needed the vet it was an emergency and I called 8 places looking for someone that would see a bird! Avian vets in Illinois are very scarce especially Central Illinois. I did discover an excellent avian vet at the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana. I’m calling there first next time! Take care and give Skittles a kiss for me.
So glad Skittles is ok. She is such a darling. Good Luck with your appointments.
Sending you positive thoughts for your Dr. appt! I can’t wait to order Bella and Friends ? Will our Paper Pumpkin count with the $50.00 for the six months?
Hi Sandy,
yes, it counts …. I just ran the report to make sure and your name came up.
Thanks!
Glad Skittles is okay and that you honored her with a card. They can pull your heart strings. Hope things go okay at the docs! Take care and thanks for all you do. Love the cards and the colors are great. Hugs,
Cute card and love those colors. Thanks for sharing.

Love the card. Glad to hear Skittles is doling okay. Hoping things go well for you.
Adorable bird. Couldn’t help but notice the background. Is that a long-arm I see? Oh how wonderful. So jealous. I often tell your story about wanting to learn how to quilt and just going out to buy a sewing machine and getting right down to work. There doesn’t seem to be an “I can’t do that” in your vocabulary.
So happy Skittles is o.k. That card is so adorable!!!!
So sooo cute haven’t thought about using Skittle but now that I see how cute he is I will have to try him….
Angie, the card is so cute, glad Skittle is o.k.
I have been having so much fun with my Bella stamp set. It is one of the cutest stamp sets that have come out of stampin up in years. I love Skittles too. Such a sweet companion for Bella.
glad Skittles is a tough bird………..Love this stamp set Angie
be well and hugs to you……..
Such a cute little card and so glad that Skittles is okay. Thanks for posting.
