Bugaboo Digital Stamps Anything but a Card

On Monday it is always Aniting But a Card

and with Valentine around the corner, I needed 

a candy box.

You can see all the wonderful work of the 

designteam of the bugaboo Digital Stamps om

Cath The Bug Challenge Blog.

To make this box I used a die called gable box by

Elizabeth Craft Design.

You cut the box in one go, and fold it on the lines.

Glue the side strip and the bottom and the box is ready.

I decorated the box when ready, because all the images 

are stuck to the box with foam tape.

This cute Valentine Critter Kitty came as a freebie

for newsletter subscribers, but you can also get it  HERE.

My kitty is colored with Stampin´Blends by SU!

The little hearts are cut with matching sizzix dies.

Straight and scallop dies. In the middle of the heart I used

a paw paper punch and becacuse the background is 

contrasting paper, you see the paw wonderful.

I used the paw punch also on the sentiment tag.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

On the bag ofthe box is another heart with a stamped 

"meow" (old SU!' stamp).

This box is ready to give!

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

This cute monkey is the freebie of this week.

He is called Monkey Love Handful of Hearts.

So Valentine is about LOVE, lots of it.

Therefore lots of hearts on this card. The paper by

Stampin'Up!  and the tiny punched out hearts

and of course the hearts on the monkey image.

The monkey is colored with markers.

This heart is stamped with candied apple distress ink

and is a stamp by Stampin'Up! from the set Heartfelt.

The stamp is punched out with a punch matching the

Heartfelt stamp set. as well as the matching scallop punch.

Left over paper is always wonderful to use for

decoration of the inside of the card.

Hope your Valentine will be wonderful next week.

Beary Easter

Today my card is for the progressive challenge

by Limited Runs Digital Stamps.

Here my card. Yes, I know it is a bit early for Easter cards,

but this popped into my mind. Two bears enjoying their

chocolate egs together. The bears are coloured with markers

and the background is design paper. The sentiment I printed

with the computer and the card is finished off with a

matching ribbon.

I just love how they hold the eggs. I just made a cut

at the arms and put the eggs in their arms.

Here the inside of the card with another bear.

He founds lots of eggs to eat!

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!

Happy Chinese New Year

Today the Chinese New Year starts and this year is the 

year of the rat. Goodbye year of the pig.

The Rat:

If you are born in the year 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984,

1996 of 2008 than you are a rat and rats are believed to be

very industrious and thrifty, dilligent and positive.

Of course I wanted to make a card for the new year and I came across

 a wonderful tutorial here by Frenchie. The tutorial is HERE.

It is a tent card.

I added a little of my own.

The heart is a stamp by Michael Strong

and the sentiment is from my stash.

On the side of the rat I added the flower stamp by Michael Strong.

The are embossed in silver. I was inspired by seeing this decoration

when I googled for the rat image.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
