INTERVIEW WITH OUR JUNE FEATUREBELLA
1. Can you tell us how long you've been stamping, and what inspired you to start?
I tried once about 20 years ago. However, I was trying to emboss and to this day I consider myself "embossing impaired"! I didn't try it again until I went to a Stampin' Up Party with a friend about 10 years ago. I still didn't stamp a lot until I became a demonstrator with The Angel Company about 6 years ago.
2. How did you find StampingBella stamps?
Splitcoaststampers.com - I've learned so much there and spent so much as a result! ;-)
3. What is your favorite color combination and coloring medium?
I absolutely LOVE to color! My favorite combination is anything that involves pink, my absolute *favorite* color. I love my Copic markers, but since my collection is limited I still rely on my trusty 128 color Prismacolor pencil set. I just bought a set of Kohr-i-nor pencils and am having fun trying them out, too.
4. What is your favorite tip or trick to share with new stampers? (can be more than one)
Have more than one kind of ink. I find rubber stamps and acrylic stamps don't always "like" the same ink.
If coloring doesn't come natural to you, practice, find online tutorials and discover which coloring medium you like the best. The most beautiful image with the most beautiful papers and fanciest embellishments loses a lot if it's not colored in nicely. (If coloring is really not your thing, there are a lot of great solid images out there, too.)
Paper "stacks" are great ways to save time and be sure that your papers all coordinate.
Try to have a variety of embellishments. If you have stamping friends, split the embellishments and their cost among you.
Read stamping blogs and join stamping groups/lists. You will learn SO much from more experienced stampers and get all kinds of inspiration from stampers of all levels.
5. If you could be any Bella stamp, what would it be and why?
Well, coincidentally there is a Lisabella stamp. At the moment, though, I am trying to lose weight, so I would be Weightwatchabella wanting to be one of those ice cream eating Sweetybellas! (Em really needs to create a Chocolateabella, don't you think?)
6. What is the one item in your craft room you can't live without?
Just one? Hmmmm... My cutter. I can't cut a straight line to save my life.
7. Do you have a Bella name? If not, and if you did, what would it be?
LisaBella
8. Any general information you would like to share - if you've ever been published, been on a design team, etc.
I've been published several times in The Rubber Stamp magazine and in The Angel Company catalog. I'm currently on the DigiStamp Boutique design team.'s our interview with our wonderful Featurebella, Lisa Thompson. Enjoy!

What is the Bella Club?!
Ok, we've had a few questions as to exactly WHAT the bella club is! Here's the downlow...
First and foremost... it's going to be a LOT of fun!
There are different options. You can "pay as you play" and pay monthly for $10 a month. You can pay $60 for the whole year (which makes it only $5 a month!) or you can pay $45 for 6 months making it only 7.50 a month.
Ok, so why would you join this club that you may to be in? No, you are not just buying your friends! :)
Bella Bundles! Each month we will have a new Bella Bundle. The bundle is a collection of different neato bella stuff (like a stamp, some embellies, etc) and the club members get this at 35% off retail price!
Free Shipping - all club members get free shipping on their bella merchandise if they dont live local or can't come by to pick it up from the store, Funkie Munkie Scraps.
Free Class (or kit). For those that live local, you can come to our club meeting/class absolutely free. For those that don't live local, we will miss you, but the kit from the class will be mailed to you free of charge. The kit will include the materials used, but no stamps. Just the images stamped out for you.
Discounts: Local members will get 20% off all bella merchandise (stamps and embella-ishments). Non local members will have 2 days to email their orders to Stephanie at Funkie Munkie Scraps.
New Release Orders: When Funkie Munkie places and order, that means you can order with them! Funkie Munkie Scraps places an order with every new release, which means you'll get to order right away! Discounts will vary with these special orders.
Contests and Challenges! Now some challenges, contests and blog candies (like the blog candy going on right now!) are open to anyone who follows our blog. But some will only be open to club members! These will probably not be advertised on the blog as to not cause confusion, but all contests and challenges will also be emailed to you. And LOTS of these contests and challenges will have fabuloso prizes involved with them.
Are your eyes bugging out with all the information or is your mouth just watering with bella excitement!?!
So THAT my dear bella-friends, is what the club is all about! :)
