Bugaboo digital stamps: Friday Freebie

Good morning crafty friends!

Today there is a freebie on the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

It is this cutie and she is adorable for all occasions 

(see the main blog), but I dressed her up for Christmas!

For this card I used all kinds of papers I had lying around.

I found these cute buttons while rearranging my craft room

and there was also this "merry" die cut.

A quick and fun card.

Thank you for looking.

stay safe and

keep crafting!

 

Cute as a Button

Today I play for the 

Give a Crafter a Cookie Blog,

where this picture is the inspiration for the card.

So for my card I used all Funky Fossil Design items:

for the background I used the bubbles stencil and twisted citron

distress ink.

For the stamps i used the Bees Knees stamp set,

that seems to be my favorite these days.

Now for the heart of the flower I added a button,

to quilify for the challenge.The bee and the flowers

are colored with Stampin'Blends

and on the wing of the bee I added some

drops of glossy accent.

The sentiment is from the set small print.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

Bugaboo Bingo

It is BINGO time at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog!

Below you see the bingo choices.

For my card I did the horizontal middle line:

Button - Bugaboo image - Sparkle.

I choose to use this lovely Flower Pot, for we need

some happy cards these days.

You find the image in the Bugaboo Digital shop

here, named Teacup Flowers1.

I colored the image with stampin'blends.

Well the button and the image are obvious,

but the sparkle is always hard to capture on a 

photo. I added the sparkle on the heart of the

flowers with some blue Stamp & Glitter glue.

Hope I have brighten your day a little and

you are all safe and healthy.

Thank you for looking

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Simon Says: Use Stencils

Here is my card for the stencil challenge on

See all details on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

I used these stencils and ink to create the background

for my card.

Also after the stencils, I did some embossing on

the paper to give it more depth,

Here a close up of the panel.

Now for the focal point, I used these dies.

I found the idea on pinterest and just could not resist

giving this a go. I cut already many cups and are

searching for cross stich patterns to use on the cup.

You will defenitely see more of it!

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Limited Runs Progressive challenge #12

Here my card with digital images made in Photoshop

and ribbon and button by DL.ART for the progressive'

challenge on the Limited Runs digital stamp blog.

You find all about the challenge and the freebie

on the Limitid Runs Blog.

I first colored the heart plant image in Photoshop.

Next I found the Flower Shop image in my 

Create with TLC Valentine file

and placed the flower pots inside the image.

Then with two different stencils I decorated the 

background with vintage photo distress ink.

The ribbon is first added to double sided tape

to make it easy tho add it ruffled to the card.

The button is by DL.ART.

the hearts of the flower are coverd with glossy accent.

And here is the inside of the card.

The sentiment is also by Create with TLC

and around it i used the Tim Holtz heart stencil

with red ink.

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!

Viva La Verve January Sketch

One of my favorite sketches are those by

Julee Tilman from Verve Stamps.

She has so many wonderful digital and 

real coffee stamps. Yes, I do have quite a few,

but recently I got this new digital "All my LOVE"

digital set and I used it for my card today.

You find the sketch on the 

Viva La Verve Blog

and many more beautiful samples.

So the background papers are from an old

design paper block by Echo Park. and they are

perfect for the Valentine theme of the card.

The heart is a thinlit by Stampin'Up! .

I added the sentiment inside the cup with Photoshop

befor I printed it. The cup is covered with glossy accent.

The button and the ribbon are by DL.ART.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Valentine Tag

Yesterday I told you I was a guest designer

at the DL.ART Blog and I received these

wonderful ribbons and buttons to play with.

Enough ribbon and buttons left to make more.

Today I share this tag with you with

an image I found on the Create with TLC blog

as a free download.

I started out with coloring the background with 

Walnut Stain distress Ink and Broken  China.

Then I took a Tim Holtz heart stencil

and colored some red hearts on top of this background.

Next I printed the sweet Valentine image

from the Create with TLC Blog and glued it

to the tag. The heart is left over from the die cut

I used yesterday. A paper flower decorates the heart.

Of course on top the wonderful ribbon.

On the bottom of the image I also added some ribbon. 

I used double sided tape on the back of the ribbon

and this way it was easy to make the folds and tape it down.

The button is added with fom tape and 

a few more paper roses.

DL.ART SHOP

Club Scrap July Blog Hop: Vintage Botany

Welcome to the monthly

Club Scrap Blog Hop.

We are sharing the July kit with you for ideas.

This month the kit is called:

Vintage Botany.

I hope you have arrived here from

Pam's Blog

and seen her beautiful artwork.

My contribution ia a mini album for this

hop today. You need one 12x12 piece of cardstock for it!

For this album I  created a closure with one of

the wooden buttons that came with this kit.

Only the problem was that they were all lengthwise.

So i sanded the backside and stamped it horizontal.

 I choose one of the beautiful decorated flower papers

for this album and used my score board for all the lines.

Here is the template for the album.

If you enlarge the picture (by clicking on it),

you can read all the measurements.

After cutting some parts away you start folding it.

I added some vintage brown ink on all the folds.

I decorated my album with garden pictures, stamps,

cut aparts and using the stencil that all came with this kit.

On the right side i created a pocket. You can do this for

all 3 if you want, but I wanted some more space for

adding pictures.

Yhis is the album all folded open.

I just love this sentiment and I used it multiple tmes.

It also looks great for decoration in the background.

Here you see I used the stencil for decorating

the background of these pages. The twins have

fun playing in the garden.

Now when you lift the card from the pocket

there is another picture to see, that I added to the

back panel of the pocket.

Also I want to share my digital page again.

After I finished making the page, I printed it, but it was to small for

my 12x12 scrapalbum, so what to do?

I took one of the yellow 12x12 inch pages from the paper kit

and stamped and decorated the background. Adding some

of the cut aparts and I turned the digital page into a real page.

For more inspiration, hop over to

Jennifer's Blog

and see what she has in store for you!

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

More baby cards

Just two more, could not resist using this tiny feet stamps

from an old SU! Cuddles and Tickles stamp set (not available

anymore). Here are the cards with matching envelopes.

Background colored paper is from  some

paper blocks from my stash.

Baker's twine and a real button on the top of

the card. Border with a Martha Steward star

border punch and the sentiment is typed up 

with my computer.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day.
