Bugaboo – Freebie Friday – Book Mark

For today’s Freebie Friday image at Bugaboo Stamps,  we have a really sweet, reading girl.  I remembered a sentiment I had in my stash from a long retired stamp set that I thought would create a really fun clean and simple bookmark.

I backed in red card for stability and so you couldn’t see the copics bleed through. Then I added an eyelet and created a bookmark with twine. It is super simple but really fun.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

• Addicted to Stamps and More –Challenge #394 – Clean & Simple
• Sweet Stampers Challenge –#45 Somthing beginng with B (ummmm bookmark?)

I hope you are inspired to create – maybe a bookmark or maybe something else. Just have fun!

Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Lyn

Bugaboo – New Release Catch the Ball!

Today we have a new release a Bugaboo Stamps call Catch the Ball 2. It is a cute little baseball begging to be put onto a “boy card”…who am I to ignore that 🙂 I also used the May Stella Say Sketch Challenge (SSS810)  for my inspiration – there is still time to join in if you like sketches!

I am not sure what made me decide to go black and white with this one but I did and I really like the effect! I found some simple digital baseball themed paper online  to back my little baseball, added a birthday sentiment, and then I added wiggly eyes for fun! I can’t wait to give it to a certain little boy I know will love it!

I hope you are inspired today! If you want to check out other DT inspiration with this little guy check out the Catch the Bug post today!

I am going to enter this one into the following challenges:

• Make My Monday – #122 Tone on Tone Background
• Paper Girls Challenges –#200 – All About Boys

Thanks for stopping by!

Bugaboo Oldie Thursday – Girls Night – Mixed Media

For today’s card, I created a fun mixed media background with a geli plate and acrylics. I colored up my girls from Bugaboo called Girls happy trio using Copics and since the  Small Talk (Tim Holtz) sentiment sticker booklet was still on my desk from my last project, I used it again :).

It’s pretty simple but it makes me smile and it reminds me of me and my two friends…so twice the happy!

I hope you are inspired – have a great and blessed day!

Bugaboo Oldie Thursday – Work of Art

I am soo far behind! This card has been made and on my desk for a week and I forgot to post it for yesterday’s Humor Me Wednesday at Bugaboo – It was National Make a Wish Day. And though my card is a bit more serious – I though Dandelions and wishes went together like peanut butter and jelly so… Here is my card featuring Live Love Laugh Flowers and Fairies

It is a pretty fun image. You print it out and build around it or just print it and let it stand on its own… I added sequins to the flower centers, blue dots for sky, and I covered the words live, love, and laugh with Tim Holtz wordfetti from Chitchat to change the look completely and to coordinate with the Small talk (Tim Holtz) sentiment. These wordfettis have been in my stash forever and I am so happy to have used them finally. Maybe if I leave them on my desk hey will find their way onto something else…hmmm…

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your were inspired!

Bugaboo Challenge – ATG You Rock!

I forgot to hit submit and post my card! (Ughhh) Saturday (two days ago – sigh) Bugaboo posted a new weekly challenge and it is anything goes! I had my card ready but alas…

I have been holding onto a SplitCoast Stampers Spotlight technique for a while (do you ever do that?). It is called Center Stage and thought it would be so much fun to use Rock Star Boy. This one uses inks for setting the stage (haha) but it is colored with Copics. I hand wrote the sentiment.  It is going to be the perfect bday card for a special guy!

I hope you are inspired to try a new technique and to jump into the challenge at Catch The Bug… Did I mention there are prizes??? Just post your project to Catch the Bug, by 4/11/20 at  6:00 AM EST to be entered a random drawing for three digi prize packs – )  10 free images   (using a Bugaboo image only),  seven  (7), or four (4) using any image!

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

• Sketch Saturday – Week #604 – Make a scene
• Creative Crafting Uncles – #3 BIRTHDAY

Thanks for stopping by!

Bugaboo – Oldie but a Goodie – Feeling Lucky

Happy Thursday! I know we are all a little tired of being inside, but it does give us a chance to play in our craft rooms. I had a lot of fun creating this one! Today I am sharing a  super fun mixed media-like card featuring Fanny Calendar March.

For the background, I have a few layers of techniques so here goes:

• First I ink blended a couple of green Distress Oxides (including Clover green haha!) Then I spritzed it and let it dry.
• Second, I used a direct to paper technique with my same green ink pads (I explain it in THIS POST).
• THen I inked up a shamrock embossing folder and pressed the panel in it (with my hands not a die cut machine). It is subtle but you can see them if you look 🙂

I colored my image with copics and cut her out and adhered her to the background panel and used a sentiment I had in my stash and have never used (win!)

I hope you are inspired to create something today. Bugaboo has lots of fun images that would work! I also hope and pray you and your family are healthy and safe!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bugaboo – Anything But a Card -Birthday Tag!

Today at Catch the Bug, we are challenged to create Anything But a Card. I used Happy birthday to Ewe to create a cute little tag. I am very boring with this challenge as I can’t usually think of anything else and I love to add to my tag stash so…

I colored my image with Copics, then die cut it with a stitched tag die from the Basic Set of Creative Cuts (Dies) from Mama Elephant. I cut another one in a coordinating color card stock and connected them with an eyelet so they could swing apart. This gives me a space to write a message. I added a ribbon and some twine and I was done – so easy but so great when needed to pop on a package!

I hope you are inspired to create anything but a card today!

I would like to put this in the following challenges:

• Dies R Us Challenge – Challenge #140 – Tag, You’re It
• My Time to Craft – Challenge #427 Farmyard Animals

Thanks for stopping by!

Bugaboo Oldie Thursday – CAS Moving/New Address Post Cards

Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a quick and simple set of post cards featuring AKV Moving Truck.

My sister just moved to a new home and she is a teacher so these AKV (A Kids View) images are just up her alley!

I printed 4 to a page so I could cut my cardstock into quarters then rounded the corners for fun. Since these were a bulk make,  I did very simple coloring – mostly shades of warm grays with just a few pops of color on the head and tail lights and the person’s face. I even made some without coloring and they were adorable too!

I tied them with ribbon and gave her these and a hydrangea plant for her new yard as a house warming gift (oh yeah…and I helped unpack – best sister ever! :))

I hope you are inspired to create some fun post cards of your own. Bugaboo has lots of fun images that would work!

Thanks for stopping by!
