More Furry Friends

Hello my Craftie Friends,

I am into doggies today!

Playing with the latest of  

Funky Fossils Designs More Furry Friends

designed by Donna Gray.

For my first card I used this window die and used 2 kinds of

stencils to create the background: 

Dog Bones

and 

Paw Print background.

The dog is stamped on a seperate piece of paper 

and colored with Stampin'Blends  (markers by 

Stampin'Up!). Afterwards cut out by hand.

It is so fun to use one of the stamps on the back of my card.

So I had some left overs from the first card and could not 

resist using them for a second card.

I embossed the squares with a paw embossing folder.

And  the yellow paper is covered with bones by using the 

dog bone stencil again. 

The sentiment is from the Small Print 2 set.

As there were 4 windows, I used the last one on the back!

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop - Day 4 more!

Hello Tea-lovers,

here for you some tea ideas as part of the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.

Of course it is not only coffee, but also tea, cocoa.

For all details and prizes to win take a look at the blog.

This time I made the gift pockets with a tea theme.

These pockets are great for two or three tea bags.

I found the instructions HERE

All materials are Stampin'Up! Sorry but not available

in the current catalogue. The stamp and die set is called

A Nice Cuppa. Maybe online you can find this set.

The decorations for all these gift pockets are so easy

to do. Here I used the teapot die and design paper.

A teabag and a sentiment and decoration is finished.

Here I used the cup die and a dotted embossing folder.

The spoon is also with the set as a die, but not s a stamp.

The sentiment on a scalopped circle (whisch is a punchby SU!).

Here the 3rd one. This one was the easiest,

This is a stamp from the set and stamped with two

colors of green and cut out. Taped to the pocket and that's it.

Hope you like these ideas.

Thanks for looking,

stay safe, drink coffee or tea

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.
