Somthing Fishy

I love playing the progressive challenge with

Limited Runs Digital Stamps.

This is my card for the Challenge.

For the background I started with adding some

inkt to my craft sheet± 2 colors of blue and one green.

I sprayed some water in the ink.

The I swiped a piece of paper to the craft sheet

and this is the result.

The next step is a stencil (funkyfossildesign.co.uk),

ink and an applicator.

The result of using the stencil.

 

After coloring the fish image with stampin'blends,

I added a wobble spring behind the fish and the result 

you see the result.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Easter Card

Happy Saturday!

My card today is for the 

Weekly Challenge on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

where the theme is:

Anything goes

and for

The Cupcake Inspiration Blog,

where the challenge is  these colors:

mint, Pale Blue and Pink.

First  made the background with a technique

called Bingo Blast. I thought it was a fun background

for coloring Easter eggs. I used these distress stains

directly to the paper and this way you get these fun

splashes. It helps when you use a watercolor paper.

Then I colored the image with my Stampin'Blends.

The Image is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps and is 

called: WOE Easter Egg (now for only $ 1.00).

Here you see the finished image, cut out with an 

oval die and its matching scallop die by Sizzix.

The sentiment is from the

 Crazy Talk sentiments by Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Bugaboo Digital Stamp New Release

Good Morning to you all!

Here is Bugaboo Digital Stamps with a new release:

Blossom Word Block.

Here is my card with the new image. I printed it quite large.

I colored the flower and the butterfly with Stampin'Blends.

The background is colored with distress ink. I used some post-it

notes to cover the parts that I did not want to color.

 With an applicator I added the colors to the background.

I cut the butterfly loose from the picture and 

is now 3d. I found it hard to make a good picture.

The sentiment is from a cardkit by Stampin'Up!

and the leaves are punched out. I tried to match

them to the leaves of the Blossom Word Block

with the hand drawn lines.

I dotted design paper background and a green 

ribbon to finish the card.

Dont"t forget to hop over to the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog and see all 

the inspiration by the Bugaboo Design Team.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Cup of Kindness

Yesterday, I made also a card like this 

and it was so much fun I made another one.

You find the instruction in a video tutorial that

I shared yesterday HERE.

For the main focus on this card I used the

Bugaboo digital image called: teacup flowers 2.

I colored the flowers with stampin'blends

and the sentiment is an old wooden stamp from my

stash by morningstar.com.

The little spoon was stamped on shrink foil

with grey ink and came out exactly right when shrunk

with the heat gun.

The cups left and right are made with a set

of clear stamps with matching dies by Studio

Light Stamps. Here I used the dies only

and decorated the cup with a punched out flower

with a gemstone in the heart of the flower.

And do you see the tiny spoon in the top cup?

On the left side I used the stamps and

also a punch on the bottom cup to make it match

the right side.

This is the part where you can write a message.

These stamps I was given by a friend, who found them on

Aliexpress (so cute!). In the corner you see a velcro

circle. This is to keep the card standing up better.

This is how the card looks all flat (8x8 inch).

The design paper is by Stampin'Up!.

I also stamped on the envelop.

Now to fold the card and

insert it into the envelop for sending.

Thank you for looking

and have a lovely Sunday!

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

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,

where you find even more ideas.

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.
