Bugaboo New Release Critter Sign It!

Hello, it's New Release day and Bugaboo Stamps, and this is Critter Sign It!

I coloured the image with copics and cut it out. The sentiment in the sign is from a retired SU set.

Then I covered a note pad, and popped up the image!

My note pad was 5" x 3"

I cut the card stock cover 5.25" x 6.5"

Score 3-1/8" in from each side, then decorate however you like!

Make sure to check out the Catch The Bug Blog for lots of great inspiration from the fabulous Design Team!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Yellow, Brown, Green!

Hello, it's Monday and that means a new challenge from Totally Stampalicious! This weeks challenge is to use the colours yellow, brown & green, any shades will do!

For my card today I used the new Stella Peeker-Darth Vader. I coloured Stella with copics, and paper pieced the cup with the dp and some of the creamy caramel for the band in the center. To give it the illusion of being curved, just sponge the edges.

The card base is chocolate chip, with a layer of wild wasabi and creamy caramel on top embossed with the preserves EF. The dp is Basic Greys Origins.

Please play along and upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

If you you missed out on getting the Stampalicious Scarlette, she is back by popular demand and available for purchase!
