ABC, Charlie Binder Cover!

Hello, it's Anything But A Card day at Bugaboo Stamps. For my project today, I used Charlie from Bugaboo Stamps. I keep my crochet patterns in binders, and this is a binder cover I made for my Dog Cozy patterns. 

I coloured Charlie with copics and added a tiny gem to the flower. The Designer paper is Under The Tree from SU. I also used a piece of crumb cake and embossed it with a paw print embossing folder. The title was computer generated and punched with circles. It is 11" x 9.75" and will fit inside the front of a binder.

This is one of the patterns I have in the binder, I made this boxer for my Brother.

Have a Great Day!

Photo Inspiration...Snow Fun!

Hello, it's time for a new challenge from Bugaboo Stamps. This week it's a photo inspiration challenge! 

For my card I used Snowman Snowboard 2 from Bugaboo Stamps. I  coloured the image with copics and cut it out. 

The card base is marina mist with a piece of white that I tore to make the snow hill. Before I added the white piece, I used a sponge and craft white ink to try and get the sprayed snow look. Then I just popped up the Snowman and added some sequins.
