Bugaboo Christmas In July, Freebie Friday!

Hello, it's the last day of our Christmas In July Celebration at Catch The Bug! Today's Freebie at Bugaboo Stamps is JJ Merry Christmas, and the challenge today is to use the Freebie and something that starts with C!

I coloured JJ with copics, and used red & white to look like the christmas candies. The card design I used is a Center Step Card. I did change the sizes a bit so it will fit in an A2 envelope. My 'C' is Candy paper.

Hello, Bugaboo Stamps has been celebrating Christmas In July all week at their Catch The Bug Blog with a new challenge every day! Today is usually Oldie But Goodie day, but today there is photo inspiration too!

The card base is white, with blue on the top embossed with the d'vine swirl embossing folder and the bottom is a light tan stamped with SU itty bitty background stamps. 

The crab was made with an EK punch and the sun and pail are dies from YNS.

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.
