DT: Thank You Goodie Bags

Pin It
Dear Scrappers,

This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing with you some goodie bags for my children teachers, that I created using this month's sponsor image: autumn-squirrel


I used some CTMH papers from my large stash and a Sizzix bag-topper die-set.

I made several versions:






Here is a close-up of the shaker tag (first time I made this type of tags), I made using this digital image:

YouTube Tuesday-Bugaboo Stamp's Stella Image Card

Pin It
Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with another YouTube Tuesday.

Today I'm sharing a video featuring "Stella", one of Bugaboo Stamps signature characters.  I have to admit, I love Stella and if you check her out at the Bugaboo store, you'll see that she speaks for a lot of women of "a certain age" when you're old enough to say it like it is!


There's nothing earth-shattering about the making of this card but she does mention she printed this image one and colored it.  Then she copied it and the copies were pretty good, saving her from having to color each image individually.  When you're making multiples of cards, this is a big time saver.

I know I'm going try this and I hope you do, too.  I also hope you will join us in our monthly challenge.  This month, a color challenge.


And here's the color palette for you to use:


Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and one lucky winner, picked at random, will receive a gift code to their store!

DT Day with Bugaboo Stamps

Pin It
Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts, Today is my day to show off what I have made with my image from this month's sponsor: Bugaboo Stamps.





I choose this cute little squirrel to work with and I decided to stick to this month's color pallet.

 
I used chalks to color him then I added a bit of Glazed Dimensions to the hearts and little highlight areas of the acorns. I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide on the edges.
 
The card measures 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall. I added a piece of fall themed washi tape, a bit of twine and a few pearls to finish the card off.
 
Please come and join us for this month's color challenge at Connie Can Crop. Only one more challenge after this one.

In N Out Burgers- Miss Kate Day

Pin It

Hello my crafty friends!!

It's Connie Can Crop here and my day to post with  Miss Kate Cuttables!  

But first, did you know that Miss Kate Cuttables gives away a free file every WEEK?
YES, absolutely FREE. So what are you waiting for, head over there and get your free file now!!

Several years ago, my son's school had the In N Out truck come for a fundraiser. I thought what better way to scrapbook this event then with some cut files from Miss Kate. I found the perfect burger and soda. I used a MKC ice cream truck and made it the In N Out truck.And for the logo I used a black and white image from the internet and cut it with my explore.




I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

You Know You're Old...

Pin It
Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today to say, "You know you're old when..."

Boy, we can finish that sentence in any number of ways, can't we?  My card, featuring an image from our sponsor this month, Bugaboo Stamps, offers one way to complete the thought!



For this card, I used the Stella-Rocking Chair image.  Stella is a cantankerous old gal and has no problem in sharing her somewhat tarnished opinions...as I get older I find some of my opinions are starting to sound like hers!  Time for an attitude adjustment, I think!

To create the focal panel, I imported the image into my design screen and traced around the outside edge.  I welded it into a rectangle so the balloons extend slightly above the rectangle.  Next, I traced around the front balloon and the presents at Stella's feet so I could pop them for added interest.

Stella is matted on a rectangle I filled with digital patterned paper from the Party Time Kit by Amanda McGee.  I added two additional mats of Peach Parfait and Concord Crush before adding all to a base of Cucumber Crush (all retired Stampin' Up cardstocks).  To finish, some Glossy Accents on the balloons and her glasses.



The greeting was color matched to the purple in the patterned paper and printed on a curved banner using the text to path option in my Silhouette.  I matted it on the peach card stock.
Inside, I printed the sentiment in the same purple and double matted before adding.



I can actually relate to this; sad but true.  And there are times when I don't even need to be in a rocking chair to get that sensation!

Have you participated in Connie Can Crop's monthly challenge yet?  You still have the rest of the month, so get crafting!
 


This month it's a color challenge.  You can make any sort of project you want, just so long as you incorporate these colors:


One winner, picked at random, will win their choice of four digital images (a $12 value) from Bugaboo Stamps.  Visit them at their store to see what they have and check them out on Facebook to see the latest.
