Bugaboo September Bingo Challenge!

Hello, it's time for our weekly challenge and this week it's Bingo! I used the top line of the bingo board, tag, pearls and a school image.

This is Grad Bear from Bugaboo Stamps. I coloured him with markers and then went back over the brown with a blender copic just making dots. I was going for a textured look! 

The card base is black, with a layer of designer paper from Recollections. I made the tag with the tag topper punch from SU then added ribbon and popped it up. I finished it off with some pearls!

OBG, Kidz-Graduate Girl!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie Day at Catch The Bug. Today I used Kidz-Graduate Girl from Bugaboo Stamps. I think she's so cute. I made this for my Daughter's girlfriend, who just graduated from University. The school's colours are red and gray so I went with those colours.

I coloured the image with copics and added a bit of sparkle with copic atyou spicas in red and gold. The card base is white, with a layer of basic gray and the red piece is from Recollections. The star is gold glimmer paper and I embossed the sentiment, from SU, with white embossing powder.

I also used the deconstructed sketch DS204

SSS310, Happy Graduation!

Hello, it's time for this month's Stella Says Sketch over at Catch The Bug...

I used this month's sketch to make a Graduation card for my Niece who will be graduating from Grade 8 this month. I used Ava Grad Diploma from Bugaboo Stamps. 

I also used an oval instead of the circle to better fit the image and I wanted the leopard of the designer paper to show.

I know this seems like odd papers for a grad card, but when I checked out the schools website to see what their colours were, I found they were blue and that their mascot was a leopard, so this seemed like a good idea!

I coloured the image with copics. The card base is black, with a layer of blue embossed with a leopard embossing folder and designer paper from Bo Bunny zoology. For the embellishments, I used 3 sequins each topped with a rhinestone.

Please join in our challenge and upload your card to the Catch The Bug Blog, you have the whole month to enter!

Have a Great Day!

SSS212, Congratulations To Ewe!

                                   Hello, the new Stella Says Sketch SSS212 starts today!

I made this card for our youngest Olivia who is Graduated from Grade 8 this week...hard to believe my baby is starting High School in September!

For my card today, I used Ewe-Congratulations To Ewe from Bugaboo Stamps. 

I printed off two of the images and cut out the head of one and popped it up. I also added crystal effects to his eyes and tiny gems to the tassel on the hat.

The card base is black, with a layer of daffodil delight embossed with a star embossing folder. The designer paper is from DCWV Hittin The Books stack, and I used red glimmer paper to mat the image and make the letter A using a YNS die.

FMS138, You Did It!

Hello, I made this for this weeks Freshly Made Sketch, FMS138. We have 4 girls in our family graduating this month so this will be going to one of them!

I used the Grad Cap and Diploma from Bugaboo Stamps. I printed it twice, and coloured with copics. I cut just the hat out of one image and added a micro brad to the hat and popped in up on the other full image that I also cut out.

The card base is black, with a layer of designer paper from DCWV Hittin' The Books stack. The lined paper in the center is from a small Recollections stack of school themed papers. The stars were made with a SU star punch and a Martha Stewart Stars punch with red glimmer paper.

Have a Great Day!
