Catch the Bug Challenge: Funky Fold

There is a new challenge over at the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog:

Funky Folds. And here is my card:

For my card I used the Bugaboo Cat image

and a sentiment from my stash.

I found this great video about a Funky Triangle

Pop Up Folding card:

I folowed the instructions from this tutorial. Only I did not add

so many layers of paper, just one layer of design paper. Otherwise

the card is way to heavy for sending.

For the card you need a piece of 8 x 8  inch cardstock

and some designers papers that match your main focus point.

The bottom of the card also holds a square to

write your message on. Later I added a tiny

velcro circle to both bottom parts of the card.

This way they card keep standing up better (I think).

I decorated the card with some hearts )dies by Sizzix'

and used this wonderful paw paper punch and a "meow"

sentiment by Stampin'Up! (old set called Meow Meow).

I colored the sweet Bugaboo Cat with 

Stampin'Blends.

The hearts are in contrasting colors using the

black cardstock and the pink paw print paper.

This is how you fold the card for senfing.

Fold the bottom parts upwards and

then vertically outwards. Now you can enter

the card in a square 5 x 5 inch envelope.

Totally folded and ready for sending in an envelope

to a friend who needs a bit of cheering up!

If you go to the Catch the Blog Challenge Blog,

you can see mor ideas and add your own card

in the linky party and you might win some great

Bugaboo Digital Stamps to play with for other

I liked this way of making a card a lot

 and there is another one tomorrow!

Thank you for looking

Anything but a card for Bugaboo digital stamps

As my SIL had a knee operation, I made her

a goodie bag and of course a tag on the bag.

Great for Anything but a Card Monday on

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog,

I love that teapot that comes with my guest designer

bage, so I had to go and get it. It is perfect for get well cards

and tags. You find the Flower Teapot HERE.

I colored the teapot with Stampin'Blends.

The sentiment is in Dutch and means: Get well.

Thank you for looking

Bugaboo Color Challenge

Today it is a color chalenge on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

For this card I used Stella Love - Person to Annoy.

The sentiment is hilarious and comes with the image.

The paper in the background are all Stampin'Up! and

so are the hearts, latge and small.

These are punched out with SU! paper punches.

The ribbon is from my stash.

I can see me and my husband growing old like this.

Great image and I see lots of love. 

The image is colored with Stampin'blends.

Bugaboo digital new release

On Tuesday Bugaboo digital stamps

brings out a new digital stamp.

This week it is Rothweiler Bath and it so cute!

You find all details on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

For this card I started with the direct to paper

technique with broken china distress ink.

When i was satisfied I took a stencil and used the

same color to make the bathroom floor.

The dog image is colored with stampin' blend

markers and cut out with scissors. 

In the background you see some sequins i added

with a little tip of tomboy glue.

The sentiment for this card I typed and printed with 

the computer and adde some black paper to make 

the sentiment stick out more.

Because this image is so cute, I made another card:

I always print out two images of the same, 

incase I do not like the coloring. Here both

came out wonderful, so I could not leave

it unused.

The background of this card is embossed 

with pawprints and added some vintage

brown distress ink.

The sentiment I used for this card is

by Tim Holtz. The rubber stamp was

 a bit too big to use on the card.

So I stamped, scanned, resized and printed

out the sentiment a smaller size to fil the card.

The dog is colored again with stampin'blend,

cut out and added to the card with foam tape.

The ribbon and the sequins finish the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

raffia around it in  the center. Not sure where I got

the sentiment. The sheep is colored with stampin'blends.

Thank you for looking

Valentine

A wonderful FREEBIE on the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog today!

You can download it for a week and

after that you have to pay for it.

It is this cute sheep: Love Ewe.

I colloïde it with stampin' blends and used it for the 

tag I made on my Valentine treat for my friend.

I cut the paper and fold it in half and mad a whole in the top

for the ribbon. Next I used some heart stencils and red

distress ink for the background. The doily heart is by 

Stampin' Up!. The sentiment comes with the freebie.

I decorated the tag with a few tiny sticky light pink pearls.
