Easter Basket Tutorial

2011-03-09T07:00:00.001-05:00

Morning! Over at Catch the Bug on Wednesday's each DT member takes turns creating a tutorial and today is my turn.

This is a very quick and easy project that you could put on your desk or even give as a present. I think the total time it took was maybe an hour. Of course you could do this for any holiday or just because. I was thinking about making some for Steph's teachers at the end of the year and putting a gift card inside.

The supplies you will need are:
~a Bugaboo image
~cardstock
~your favorite paper and embellishments

~First: Your're going to cut the piece of cardstock 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 and score it at 2 1/2 on all four sides.

~Second: You will need to cut along the scores and put some adhesive on the backside of your cardstock.

~Third: You will start putting it together. The sides with the adhesive will fold in and go inside the box.

It will look like this when you are done:

Then all you have to do is decorate it with your favorite Bugaboo stamp, paper, and embellishments. You can use cardstock for your handle or even ribbon.

Here's my final project:

I hope you like it!

I entered this into the following challenges:
~Stamp Something - digi
~Lexi's Creations - Easter

Supplies: Stamp: Bugaboo; Paper: PTI; Other: Copics, PTI Buttons, Distressing, and Flower.

Today is New Release Tuesday over at Bugaboo Stamps! Jodie has created some wonderful Santa images that you can find in her store. Remember, Jodie tries to get them up by noon but if they are not there please check back later.

I still haven't learned how to use my sewing machine yet so to save some time I just paper pierced around my image. I used the same Nestie that I cut him out with and just poked small holes first and then made them bigger after I took the Nestie off.

I entered this into the following challenges:
~Sweet Sketch Sunday #95
~The Secret Crafter - Christmas
~Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog #29 - Christmas

Supplies: Stamp: Bugaboo; Paper: Basic Grey; Other: Copics, SU Ribbon, PTI Paper, Pearls, Stickles, Distressing, and Inking.

Catch the Bug Challenge - Anything Goes

2010-12-04T07:00:00.000-05:00

Morning! Today over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog the Saturday challenge is "anything goes".

All you have to do is make a project and link it by 12/11/10 at 6:00 AM EST to be entered a random drawing for three digi prize packs - seven (7) (using a Bugaboo image only), four (4), or two (2) using any image! Don't forget to use a Bugaboo image and you can win the top prize! You can find a freebie from Jodie here.

While on vacation we went to a store and I found those cute Cuttlebug folders that you can use on an edge of a card. My only word of caution those is to becareful if you use them directly on your card. I did that and now my edges are really flimsy and my card wouldn't stand up. I also used some more of my BoBunny and of course my Stickles.

I've entered this card into the following challenges:
~Eat Sleep Stamp #110 - sketchy Thursday
~The Crazy Challenge #43 - on the go (anything goes)

Tutorial Wednesday at Bugaboo

2010-11-10T07:00:00.015-05:00

Morning! Over at the Bugaboo Challenge Blog on Wednesday's each DT member takes turns creating a tutorial and since I'm the GDT member for November today is my turn.

This is a very quick and easy project that you could put on your desk or even give as a present. I think the total time it took was maybe an hour.

The supplies you will need are:
~a tin with a window or even one of those plain boxes that you could cut out a window
~picture of your favorite person
~a Bugaboo image
~your favorite paper and embellishments

~First: Your're going to put the piece of paper inside the tin to cover the bottom. I flipped the tin over and measured the size from the bottom. I didn't try to cover the entire bottom of the tin because I didn't want to get frustrated trying to make it perfect.

~Second: You can put your paper and picture inside the tin and any embellishments that you would like to add. Since I am working with a small tin I didn't put any embellishments inside but I have a bigger tin at work that I did add embellishments to (I'll try and remember to bring it home from work today and post a pic).

~Third: I measured the smooth outside of the tin so I could wrap a piece of my favorite paper around it. I also added some ribbon.

~Fouth: I colored one of my favorite images from Bugaboo (I love penguins), cut it out, and pop dotted it to the front.

~Fifth: I added a couple more embellishments and voila I'm done~

Supplies: Stamp: Bugaboo; Paper: MME; Copics: G85, RV23, RV29, R20, R39, YR18, BG01, BG15, C1, C7; Other: Spare Part Buttons and Ribbon.

I also entered this into several challenges:
~Bee Craft #42 - Christmas
~Lexi's Creations #26 - anything goes
~Stamps R Us #8- buttons & bows
~Paper Sundaes #43- let it snow
~Ann's Creative Nook #111- recycle recycle
~The Crazy Challenge #40- things w/ wings

I really hope you liked my tutorial and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for joining me today!

New Release Tuesday at Bugaboo

Jodie tries to have the images in her store by the time this posts but if not please check back later.

I wanted to make this a masculine card so I had to stay away from all my "pretty" paper. I ended up using some cardstock and just running through my Cuttlebug. I'm not sure where the color scheme came from but they are the colors of my high school (some 20 odd years ago).

Enjoy!

Here are a couple of challenges I entered:

~Unscripted Sketches #80 - sketch

Supplies: Stamp: Bugaboo: Paper: PTI; Copics: Face: E000, E00, E97, R20; Hair: E00, E53, E55, E97; Clothes and Hat: C9, YR12, BV08; Other: SU Ribbon, Nestabilities, and Rhinestones.

Bugaboo DT Call

2010-11-05T00:11:00.001-04:00

Bugaboo is having a DT Call...here are the details from their blog:

How Long Is the DT Call Open?
We are going to try something a little different this round. There are two rounds to our call.

1. Create a post and link it below. Post must include 1 Bugaboo project and 2 other of your favorite projects. Please note these can be new or older projects it is your choice. This phase of the call will be open until November 10th midnight EST. We will contact those who have been chosen to move on to round 2. Please make sure we have your email.

2 If you are chosen to continue to round 2, we will send you a predetermined image which you will make a project and turn back into us it would make things much quicker and give you more time to create if you make sure your email is in your post of the first round.

What Kind of Responsibilities Does the DT Have?
As a DT Member you would be required to take part in a minimum of 4 projects and a maximum of 6 assignments throughout the month. You will know all of the upcoming challenges and assignments and most can be worked on ahead of time.

Is It OK If I'm on Another DT?
Not to worry, as long as you can commit to the Bugaboo DT and are not conflicted with other DT work then of course feel free to apply, but please consider the new workload before you apply, the last thing we want is for you to struggle to keep up with the assignments, this is meant to be fun and stress free, not a job that you feel obliged to do, so again please do keep that in mind

What If I've Never Been on a DT Before?
Not a problem at all, we welcome all applications whether you have DT experience or not, in fact we would encourage peeps with no previous DT experience to try out for our Design Team, more so over those that do, we want to give everyone a fair chance

When Will the New DT Be Announced?
The new DT Members will be announced by November 29th. New Term officially begins on January 1, 2011.

Good Luck!
______________________________________________________________

I've only been working with them for a week but they are a bunch of fun Ladies and Paul. I'm going to go for it so wish me good luck:) My email is sunifla1@comcast.net Below are my entries for the call:

Hi there! I promise I haven't dropped off the face of the earth...it's just been a crazy summer. My mother-in-law was here for a month, then we went to Toledo to see my family, and of course there was work. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things this weekend.

VSD #4 - Challenge #5

2010-06-28T18:48:00.000-04:00

I had a busy weekend so I could only make one more card and of course I had to make a Christmas card!

Here's are the details on Melanie's challenge:

Christmas in July (???)

Since we are just a few short days away from July I thought for our 5th challege we would do a Christmas in July theme.

So your challenge is to create a Christmas card. That is it, nothing special required. NVR, just please try to use a minimum of 1 stamped image on your card.

Have fun!!

Here's my card:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to make a couple more cards this week.

Have a good one!

VSD #4 - Challenge #2

2010-06-28T18:44:00.000-04:00

Here is Challenge #2 from Melina:

Hello ladies!!!

Are we having fun yet?

Wasn't April's challenge great! I've never made one of those!

CHALLENGE #2
I've got a color challenge for you with a theme twist...

Your colors are:
Chocolate Chip
More Mustard
Old Olive
Basic gray
Very Vanilla

Now for the theme twist. I NEVER have masculine cards around when I need them. I'm not good at doing masculine either....so.....Make your creation with manly men in mind.

Also, use pewter or silver embellishments.

I never have masculine cards around either so I hope this fits the bill:)

TFL!

VSD #4 - Challenge #1

2010-06-28T18:40:00.000-04:00

The first challenge for this weekends VSD was to create a card made out of acetate. I didn't have acetate but I did have an acrylic tag so I used that. Here are the details to April's challenge:

Hello Ladies.....How is everyone today? I hope you are ready for your first challenge of our wonderful weekend VSD! I told you all you'd need acrylic or transparency sheets for my challenge because we are making acetate cards today!

Here is the tutorial on SCS~acetate card

If you need some more inspiration...as if mine isn't enough...lol...here is the gallery FULL of ideas~acetate gallery

This card can be any theme you want it to be and you can make it any way you want it. You don't even need to stamp on the acetate directly if you don't have the right kind of ink. Once you look through the gallery you will see many ideas and veriations on how to use this awesome stuff. Can I just say...I loved making this card and will surely be doing more of them!

Tips:
~if stamping directly onto the acetate....take your time and be very careful, if you use Staz-On ink other and opaque white the ink is very slippery on the acetate and will smear....keep a wipe or something handy to quickly wipe away your mistake and try again. The opaque white works pretty good though..it's a bit more sticky.
~don't use stickles on the acetate...I did as you can see here and when I folded the top down I hit the stickles and they literally popped right off so I had to do it again...so stickles are not friendly on this surface.
~have fun with it and try different things...it really is fun to work with and play around with. I really love the way my card came out (I don't brag very much about my work but this one...I love).

Here's my card:

Thanks for a great challenge April and thanks for looking!

Here's the string....

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH...

The Greeting Farm Royal Battle - Going Retro

2010-03-30T10:21:00.004-04:00

The Greeting Farm is having a contest over the next 5 weeks called The Greeting Farm Royal Battle. We had to come up with a team of 3 - 5 people and pick a name...ours is Stampin Farmettes and our other group is the Stampin Farmettes Sisters. Every week starting on Sunday and ending on Tuesday you can go and vote for 3 cards in their gallery. They are starting out with 60 teams and every Wednesday the roster will be cut in half.

The first week the theme of the battle was Going Retro and it was a color challenge also. This was our inspiration.

I just so happened to have the perfect paper and the perfect little girl for this challenge. This was also my first time to make an easel card, it was so easy.

Here is the link to the gallery so you can vote, you will have to register but it doesn't take long at all. Thanks for your vote!

I also used this card for my Crafty Critter Challenge, you had to use the following:

1. thing that glitters
2. ribbons
3. layers (at least)...so layer that card up!!!
4. colors...colors on your image, on your DP, on the ribbon whatever...just as long as there are 4 different colors on your card!

Can we handle this? I think so....and also...you must enter your card in a challenge...just one challenge...that's all I'm asking...challenges can be so much fun and you just never know...you might just win!

Bugaboo Guest Designer

Thank you so much for the opportunity!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Some of my friends came over today and we colored out little hearts out:) I had to make a card for a challenge...check back tomorrow to see it.

Mmmmm...frosting!

2010-03-26T06:06:00.001-04:00

I love frosting.....no I mean I really love frosting and my daughter is just like me. They had their Easter Party at school today and had cupcakes. I asked her if she ate the whole cupcake and said no, she only ate the frosting:) That's why when I saw this stamp, I knew I had to use it.

So are you a frosting or a cake person? I usually take the bottom off the cupcake so I have a better ratio of frosting to cake, yummy! So on to my card....

I made this card for a few challenges:
~Eat Sleep Stamp #76 - Sketchy Thursday
~365 Cards Day 25 - Do It Yourself - Cover brads or pearls in glitter
~Hand Full of Stamps #21 - Something Sweet
~Cute Card Thursday #105 - Dimensions

Happy Easter!

2010-03-24T17:40:00.001-04:00

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We went to Disney and had a great time but my daughter started to get sick while we were there and once we were home Sunday night she threw up, yuck! We also went to the Cardinals vs Braves game but it was rained out which was a total bummer because I haven't seen a game yet this year.

I can't believe Easter is less than two weeks away and I haven't made an Easter card yet! Here is an image from Pink Cat Studio...they have the cutest digi's. I also bought a digi from The Cutting Cafe, it's the Happy Easter circle. I used my nestabilities to cut it out and then used another one for the border and the card. The ribbon I had used was a little too light for her dress so I ended up using my copic marker and coloring the ribbon which I thought turned out pretty good.

I made this card for several challenges:
~Bee Crafty Challenge #26 - Spring
~Crazy 4 Challenges C4C29 - Spring
~Ann's Creative Nook #82 - Easter
~Lexi's Creations Challenge #10 - Easter
~Ooh La La Creations #50 - A Button, A Bow, and some Bling

Since I started stamping I really haven't made anything but cards so I thought I would try something new. I made this little cone for a challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I must say I loved doing it! I found a tutorial for it at Splitcoast Stampers in the resource section. Hope you like it!

Supplies: Paper: Harmoine; Stamp: SU; Other: SU Punch, PTI Ribbon and Button.

Does anyone have any crafty plans this weekend? I hope to get something done Sunday when we get back from Disney...yes we're going to Disney again.

On Sunday we're going to watch the Cardinals and Braves at Disney's Wide World of Sports, I can't wait, I hope I get to see Mark McGwire:)

This was actually my second time, I saw it in NYC a couple of years ago. George Wendt played the mother and was hilarious!

I made this card for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. You were suppose to use two different shapes on the card. I used my new SU punch for the hearts and didn't use one single stamp, oh no! I really like how it turned out.
