OBG, Critter Balloons - Cat!

 Hello, it's time for another Oldie But Goodie from Bugaboo Stamps, and today I'm using Critter Balloons - Cat! This is a Birthday card I made for my Step-Daughter because she loves cats.

I printed the image twice, and coloured with copics. I cut the cat out of one and glued it onto the other so it looks more like the balloon is under him. I also cut out the tiny cloud and popped it up.

 I used the Sizzix Circle Flip-it die to made the card base from pacific point. The designer paper is from DCWV Pet Stack. The sentiment on the flip side is from Your Next Stamp.

It's not easy getting a good photo of this card design, so here's a view of it lying flat.

Make sure to stop by the Catch The Bug Blog to see more Oldies But Goodies.

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Paper Piecing, Use Up Those Scraps!

Hello, it's time for this weeks Totally Stampalicious Challenge, and this week we're challenging you to paper piece and use up those scraps! I guess I didn't really paper piece, but all the dp is from my scrap box!

I used the new Balloon Critter set. I stamped the elephant twice onto white and coloured with copics. I cut them out, and added them to the background and popped up his head.

The card base is not quite navy, with a layer of white stamped with SU distressed dots background stamp in wild wasabi and then I sponged the edges in so saffron.

For the top note layer, I started with a piece of white cardstock slightly larger than the top note die, and glued on my dp to create the scene, then I cut the whole thing with the top note die.

Please join in our challenge and use up your scraps! Then upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

Have a Great Day!
