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.

Bugaboo Oldie But Goodie...wrapped in chaos!

 Hello, it's Day six of the Christmas Chaos challenges, and today's challenge is Wrapped in Chaos-whip up some kind of holiday gift wrap using a Bugaboo Stamps oldie-it could be a gift tag, a gift bag, treat tin or alternative wrap!

For today's challenge I made a gift card holder and used Snowman Couple from Bugaboo Stamps. As I'm typing this I realize I used a new image not an oldie but it is a goodie!

I coloured the image with copics, embossed it with the softly falling embossing folder and added stickles. 

I used the Spellbinders Label 8 to make the base 2 full pieces of real red and a part piece for the pocket to put the gift card in. and one from the white piece with the image.

Then I used the cropadile to make a hole and used a snowflake brad so the front will swing open.

OBG, Snowman Treat Jar with Tag!

 Hello, it`s Oldie But Goodie Day at Catch The Bug, and today I`m showing you a Snowman Treat Jar with tag I made for Christmas. The tag is Christmas Tag - Snowman from Bugaboo Stamps, you can see a close-up below. I coloured the tag with copics and added stickles to the berries and the snow. The tag was cut out and backed with black cardstock.

I got this idea from pinterest. It`s a nice inexpensive treat jar, would make a great Teacher gift. All you need is a mason jar, some felt and buttons (I bought both the felt & buttons at the $ store). I filled it with yogurt covered pretzels and added my tag!

Quick and Easy, which is what we need right now with the Christmas rush on!

Have a Great Day!

Bugaboo Christmas In July...It's All About The Colour!

 Hello, it's day 3 of our Christmas in July Celebration at Catch The Bug, and today it's a colour challenge!

 I made a cute little tag using Winter Circle Sentiments-Let It Snow, from Bugaboo Stamps, to go along with my gift bag. I coloured the tag with copics and added some stickles. For extra bling I matted it on glimmer paper and then matching cardstock. The colours match the colour challenge much better IRL!

Here's a close-up of the tag. I had a 50% off coupon for Michael's so I bought the new We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Maker. It's super easy to use, and I made the bag with Bo Bunny-winter joy frosty designer paper.
