Bugaboo Stamps

Fred She Said

Here is my card. I have one of Bugaboo's images 'scene it bear b'day'

This is a fun image. I just had to make it bright and cheerful. 

I have decoupaged the image (hard to see in the photograph). The papers are Christmas selection from Dovecraft, and that's my tip, Christmas papers are not just for Christmas. I love this warm and cheery combination.

I have also used Promarkers, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nesties, Stickles and Dovecraft brad, Woodware circle punch and corner punch.

Pop over to see the other team samples for inspiration.
  

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

I love Promarkers - layer it up

It's been a snowy day, but fortunately it is not lying too much here. 

So keeping warm what else to do but make a card!

This is another clean and simple card. I was lucky to win a prize on Charisma Cardz a few weeks ago. I won Washi tape from Freckled Fawn. I have never used this before, so it is a first!

I used an embossing folder, Sizzlet heart , Nestie circle and a Papermania stamp.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Simon Says - use Washi tape

Totally Papercrafts - It's Embossing Time

One Stitch at a Time - Love

Stamp With Fun - swirl

Snowflakes

It's still freezing, but a least we have no snow yet. 

My card is quite fitting with the weather in parts of Britain at the moment. 

This is one of my Christmas cards this year. I took inspiration from one of Samantha's cards here. 

I used Spellbinders snowflakes, Craft Creations paper, Nesties, Woodware snowflake punch (small snowflake), Fiskers small circle punch for spots and the rest from my stash. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

C.R.A.F.T. - Christmas in January

Charisma Cardz - use at least 2 punches

One Stitch at a Time - anything goes

Single layered card

I hope everyone is keeping warm. It is bitter here just now and I am lucky to be in the house nice and cosy. 

It has been a while since I have managed to make a card for the Less is More challenge. So I have made this card using their theme of Sports or exercise. 

I have used Penny Black Teed Up stamp, coloured with Promarkers, and added chalks to make the sky. A little doodling brings it all together. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Less is More - Sports or exercise one layer card

On Stitch at a Time - Anything goes
