OBG, Peaches Car!

 Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day at Catch The Bug, and today I'm showing you a card I made for my Daughter's Birthday using Peaches Car from Bugaboo Stamps. 

I printed the image 3 times on white cardstock and once on designer paper for the car body! 

 So I used the first print as my base, and coloured in the parts that weren't going to be covered by the paper piecing. Then I added the car body, on top of that I added peaches coloured with copics, and then with the 3rd image, I only cut out her head with ears attached. 

For this card I used the Easel Card design. The yellow piece was embossed with the On The Go embossing folder. The green piece with embossed with a Tire Track embossing folder. The word bubble is from a Stampin Up set.

Have a Great Day!

OBG, Peaches Hello Hi!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day at Catch The Bug! For my card today I used Peaches Hello Hi from Bugaboo Stamps. I coloured this image with copics, and added so tiny gems to the centers of the flowers.

The card base is coastal cabana with a layer of white and then a layer of designer paper from Cosmo Crickets Delovely pad. The band across is actually rose red, although is doesn't look like it, embossed with the love language embossing folder.

I finished it off with a flower accent made with punches and a rhinestone.

ABC, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! It's Anything But A Card Day at Catch The Bug, and I have a treat holder for you today that I'm calling  St. Patrick's Day Pockets of Gold!

I used Edward Elephant Happy St. Patrick's Day  from Bugaboo Stamps to decorate the front. I coloured him with copics. Then layered him on glittery gold cardstock from the $ store and early espresso.

 I got this idea from a kittystamp at SCS she posted this awesome treat holder, here's  her Blog Post with a tutorial. I altered it just a bit, I started with a piece 4.25" x 11" and scored in the same place she did.

Instead of using treat bags, I made 2 pockets with designer paper (this works best with paper weight). Sorry my photo isn't the best, but I started with a piece 8.5" x 8" then score at 2" and 6" along the 8.5" side. 

 . Fold on the score lines and use double sided tape to seal. This puts the seam in the middle so you won't see it.

Then score down the middle at 4" and add double sided tape down the center of the middle and on the outside of each pocket to glue inside the cardstock holder.

You can see in the photo below how it looks when together but open.

 To make the cards for the pockets. I used a piece of cardstock 4.25" x 3 5/8". I used the SU envelope punch board for the notches at the top. Then I used double sided tape to glue down the chocolate coins.

What a fun easy way to give a gift and or a treat!

Have a Great Day!

Rachel's 20th!

Hello, this is the card I made for my Daughter's 20th birthday. She loves elephants, and these bright colours made me think of her!

This is the Henry Says stamp set from Stampin' Up. I coloured him with copics, then masked him off and sponged some clouds in the background with soft sky ink and a punched scallop circle. The grass was made with the Martha Stewart punch.

For the birds, I used a marker to stamp them and then after went over then with soft lighter colours to fill the bodies in better. I also added a little black dot in there eyes.

All the designer paper is from Bo Bunny - Surprise 6x6 pad.

Have a Great Day!
