More Bugaboo Stamps!

This is Jodie's new line of digis, one of her Bugaboo Brats.  I adore those little kids!  This one is Isabella & although I like them all, this one kind of grabbed me & whispered 'download me please' in my ear.  So I did!  Papers are Stampin Up, the bling is Basic Grey's Opalines (I love those pearls!) & the flowers are from my stash.

Bugaboo New Release

April Showers is the theme for this sketch challenge & we could use anything that remindedus of water.  I chose Bugaboo's April Ruby.  Ruby is such a hoot... I think we all know a 'Ruby', right?  My paper is all Stampin Up & I coloured the image with Copics.  I used a glitter pen for her glasses & added some gold Stickles ( I love Stickles!) for her ear bobs & some blue Stickles for the puddle of water.  The brads & ribbon are from my stash.  I outlined the image & computer generated sentiment with the same gold gel pen I used on her glasses.  I'm a little annoyed at myself that I didn't notice the word 'Bring' was automatically done with capital letters until it was too late...
Head on over to Bugaboo's Blog & the Catch the Bug Blogspot for lots of great ideas & inspiration.

Criss-Cross Card

I finally tried my hand at doing a criss-cross card & although I didn't get my paper measurement quite right, I am pleased with the first attempt.  The image is Penny Black's Bubbly clear stamp set - gotta love those clear stamps!  I cut the circles with my Nestabilities & Cuttlebug, the butterflies were done with a Martha Stewart punch.  I bent the wings & mounted them with little bits of dimensionals & added some pearls from my stash.  All paper is from Stampin Up & the brad is from a Bo Bunny ICandy set & finally, the sentiment is from Hero Arts Everyday Sayings set.

Anything But a Card

 

My first assignment with Bugaboo Stamps was Anything But a Card.  I made a thank you gift tag for a bottle of wine using the Nellie Snellen square die cut (those are fabulous to use); the 'Merci' is from the Inkadinkado Prairie Gardens clear stamp set & I used my Copics to colour the image.  Red stickles are in the glass of wine, gold stickles on the label & dotted around the scallops.  You can find Chef Pierre under the Miscellaneous category on the Bugaboo site.

Bugaboo Stamps Catch the Bug Challenge

I used the Turtle & Ladybug image for my card; Stampin Up cardstock & ran a piece of white paper through my Cuttlebug (I think that is the one thing I wouldn't want to be without!).  I coloured my digi with Copics & used some black brads & Petaloo Dazzlers for embellishments.
