What?! Santa Has Enough Reindeer?!

Good early morning, everyone! Are you excited? I hope so, because its New Release Tuesday at Bugaboo Stamps! We have some adorable new images for you, today, too, like this one - Puppy - Enough Reindeer. Isn't he just the cutest lilttle puppy you've ever seen?! I just fell in love with him when I seen him! He's just the thing for your Christmas cards,  What?! You haven't started on Christmas cards yet?! Oh, my, then you better get started! Why don't you start with picking up this little guy, and maybe a few others, from the Bugaboo Stamps store?

You can see all the fun creations from the Bugaboo Stamps DT using this little fella, over at Catch The Bug.  Then, check out the Bugaboo Stamps store, for this image and lots of others, for your card making needs!


My card uses one of today's new release image and sentiment set, Puppy - Enough Reindeer, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers used are scraps from my scrap bin. (Gotta use up those scraps so we can buy more paper and make MORE scraps, right?!)  My card layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy. I went with a fun mix of patterns this time, with tartan (plaid), santa and snowflakes. I felt they were perfect for this poor little reindeer puppy, so hopeful, as he stands out in the snow. I embellished with two pointsetta flowers, backed with burlap. The flower centers are jazzed up with tiny pearls.  I added glitter to the puppy's hat, the bells on his color and the snow beneath him.

This card was made to send a wonderful male friend of mine, for Christmas.  I'm sure he will love it - He doesnt mind if there are flowers on the card, for Christmas! :D

Happy Halloween

Phew! I have had crap internet, again! I know, I know - I just said this not long ago! LOL  Darn internet is terrible in the fall and winter here! Uggh!

Anyway, today is Oldie But Goodie Thursday at  Catch The Bug. The design team has done a great job, as always, at bringing those Oldie But Goodie Bugaboo Stamps images back into the spotlight, with thier awesome creativity! Jump on over to Catch The Bug to see all thier fabulous creations!

I figured since today is Halloween, I should end October with one last Halloween card.  My card features the image, Hween Brat Pumpkin, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with promarkers. All papers are scraps from my stash.  I used two different kinds of Halloween washi tape to embellish two of the corners.  The top right corner has a die cut spiderweb with two punched spiders. I've used a cute metal candy brad at the top left corner of the image and three gemstones to the right of the image.

Booooooooo To You

Opened up:

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I hope you're enjoying the fancy fold card I have for you, today. I made this for Bugaboo Stamps' Oldie But Goodie Thursday. Isn't it always nice to revisit those older images that we sometimes forget about?  That's exactly what we're doing, over at Catch The Bug, so head over and check out all the rest of the Oldie But A Goodie creations. You will love them!

My fancy fold card, today, uses the image Boo Ghost, from Bugaboo Stamps. I used a fun mix of Halloween papers to decorate both the inside and outside of the card.  The stripes and polka dots on the front just go great together, don't they? I've used a velcro adhesive tab from Tombow, to secure the card closed.  The ribbon is attached only to the front and includes a handmade bow. Two funky zebra striped gemstones were used to embellish the front. This fun Halloween card is perfect for  the guy or little boy in your life.

Craft Your Passion-Anything Goes-Card #2

As mentioned in my previous post, at Craft Your Passion this week, our theme is "Anything Goes," and we have three awesome sponsors for you, today!We are being sponsored by the wonderful Judy, from Pizazz Aplenty, and she's giving our winner a yummy package of goodies from her store! If you haven't checked out Pizazz Aplenty, you better rush over to their store and check it out! Judy has fast service, and wonderful prices! Our second sponsor is the fabulous Digi's With Attitude! If you have attitude or even just like attitude, these are the digi stamps for you! Cindy Lynn has created some fantastic images for us all to enjoy! The Grumpy Gretchen series is my favorite! If you haven't checked out her images, you really need to! They're awesome! Our third sponsor this week is Digi's By Phooka. Myriam has created lots of adorable images and they are just too cute for words! They are a newer digi company and could really use our support. Please jump on over to Myriam's store and check out her adorable digi stamps.

I decided to do two cards this week, one for each digi sponsor, so that I could make sure both companies had a project featured for each image they were nice enough to give our DT to work with.

For this post, I am showing you my card using this cute Hot Cocoa image from Digi's By Phooka.

I love this Hot Cocoa image. It is so adorable! Of course, it makes me think Winter, so I had to do a Winter themed card. We still have quite a bit of snow left on the ground, so it is perfect weather for a mug of Hot Cocoa. I colored the image with my Promarkers. The snowflake DP and striped DP are both from my stash. I used 4mm silver flatback pearls from Pizazz Aplenty for embellishing. I finished the card off with a small piece of silver snowflake trim, attached with mini glue dots.

Is this cute or what?!

Look What's Behind the Fence!

Look what's behind the fence?! It's a baby giraffe! Isn't he a cutie?! This is one of my favorite images because he is so versatile. And I just love how cute he is, peeking over the fence. You can have your very own baby giraffe and fence with flowers, too! Just stop by Stamping Dragon/Dragon's Lair Designs and get your own. He would love to come to your house and play! While you're there, check out some of her other cute images, too!

The background paper is DCWV and I used textured green cardstock for the grass. Cute polka dotted ribbon and blue skittles to add some bling. The fence and the giraffe's head are pop dotted to give a 3D effect.

This is my first official card for Stampin Dragon Designs, as part of the Design Team!
