D2D Valentine Hop

Hello all. Did you know Valentine's Day is only one month away? Well, it is, and to celebrate the occasion of LOVE, we are having a Designed2Delight Blog Hop featuring many different Valentine images!


If you are here from Debbie F's blog, then I hope you are having a great hop. If you are here just to see my creation, then let me advise you to start at the Beginning for this wonderful, and LOVEly hop!!

I am using the Love Ewe set and have combined the hungry sheep with the sentiment in Word. This is colored using Copics, Ranger inks for shading, glaze, and sewing. The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC315 (nice yet simple).


Thanks for visiting, and don't forget, I'm using the "Love Ewe" set. Next on the hop is the awesome Kathy!

Wassup?

Hello and welcome to OBG (Oldie But Goodie) - a Thursday feature at Catch The Bug! That's when the DT shows off some of the older, but still loved images.

Of course I love the Rottweiler Puppies since Big Jack is half rottie. So big and clumsy yet loving and affectionate.

Super simple layout! My pup is colored with Copics and Prismas, Ranger Inks for shading, sentiment is Opposites Attract Cricut Cart cut at 1" (regular and shadow), sewing, and glaze.

Close up of glaze-y goodness...plus, I just think he's super adorable.

If you get a chance, head over to Catch the Bug for more inspiration from the rest of the DT.

My card meets the following challenges:

• One Stop Craft - #113 Card for a child
• Splitcoaststampers - Layout SC64
• Crazy Challenge - #49 Animals

Daddy's Girl

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing Bean's Valentine's Day card to her Dad:

When I saw this adorable image by Phindy, I just HAD to get it! Bean actually goes around the house with her little tool belt, safety glasses, and hard hat. Just last night I got her a new tool box and she discovered it this morning and was SO excited.

Here's a little 3-D shot to show off the layers. I left it blank on the outside and will put inside: Happy Valentine's Day...Love, Daddy's Little Girl. Oh, and I actually have a pic somewhere of her wearing his boots, just like these!

DP is M's Just Chillin', sewing, distressing, image colored with Copics and Prismas. Just wanted to show off another close up of this CUTIE!! I know the colors are non-traditional, but her dad's favorite color is orange.

My card meets the following challenges:

• Card Patterns - sketch #97
• Phindys Place - #37 Distressing

SWAK with Tie the Knot

Hello all and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a GREAT weekend! I got a chance to clean up my craft room a bit, and fix a few Boo-boos on stuffed animals.

I've never been a real big Valentine's person, but with so many die cuts and stamps out there, I thought "what the heck." And with all the little ones now in the family...well, let's just say I'm a big supporter of SNAIL MAIL!!

For this card I'm using polka dots from Pink Petticoat, SWAK is Scrap Color Me from Scrapnfonts (colored in with Prisma Markers), lots of sewing, and lips are from Tie the Knot Cricut Cart cut at 1.5".

Sometimes when I work with diecuts, I completely LOSE what I'm putting together. I stepped back and thought they look good, but they looked chapped, so I added glaze and glitter glue.

Not sure who this is for just yet, but it was fun to make. Thanks for stopping by!

This will be entered in the following challenges:

• Winter Wonderland - Let's go Dotty
• Wags N Whiskers - Valentines Day
• Eat, Sleep, Stamp - Sketch 112

Let Me Count The Ways

Hello and Welcome to the latest challenge over at Catch The Bug:

EMBOSS IT!
(Wet or Dry...or both!)

There are generous prizes for playing along, but you must use a Bugaboo image to be eligible for the Grand Prize.

I am now in the mood for Spring colors and Valentines Day, so today I'm showing off a pup from the Puppy Love collection.

DP is M's Cheeky Collection (Abby), green CS run through the Cuttlebug using Dots folder and lightly sanded to accentuate the high spots. Pup is colored with Copics, glaze added, and fussy cut. Sentiment is computer generated and inside reads: Let me count the ways ~EBB.

I'm definitely a dog person! We have a cat, but the darn thing doesn't fetch or obey! My big boy Jack weighs around 120pounds and is sweet on Bean. I colored my pup the same as Jack. This will be Beanie's card this year.

Anyway, enter your embossed creations at Catch The Bug, and feel free to use a Bugaboo image if you have one!

This card meets the following challenges:

• Splitcoaststampers - sketch SC313
• Catch the Bug - Emboss It!
• My Time to Craft - #122 Up In The Air (balloon)
• Tuesday Throwdown - #30 Embossing
  

Happy Bird-Day

Hello all and welcome to Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps! That's right, every Friday, a new and FREE stamp is up for grabs, and this Friday it's Bird Greetings:

I used Me & My Big Ideas DP, distressed the edges, and sewing. This was actually a 1/2 hour project (thanks to SCS layouts). I used the scrap paper for the tag and fussy cut my bird.

Of course there's glaze on both. Sewing and glaze are my go-to's. I thought the nestability die was perfect for the distressed look I was going for.

So make sure to pick up your freebie! It's...FREE! But watch out, the freebies are what got me hooked on Bugaboo Stamps in the first place :)

Have a GREAT weekend all. I hope it's a good one with fun and crafts!

This meets the following challenges:

• Splitcoaststampers - sketch SC23
• Charisma Cardz - #1 Birthdays & Celebrations
• Cute Card Thursday - #146 Out With The Old (Stash - papers & nesties, scraps for the tag)
• Stampin' B's - Something Old/Something New (Old - papers and nesties, New -digistamp!)

Winter Love

Hello and Happy Wednesday. Today I'm sharing a card using the Snowman Love digi from Designed2Delight.

I know he's a snowman, but he's not Christmas-y. DP is DCWV Text Prints, digi colored with Copics, shaded with Ranger's Lipstick ink. I made the "brads" in the lower right corner using my Cropadile - punched the black with the larger hole and the pink with the small hole, glued together, put G Studio glitter glue, then Glossy Accents. They are very sparkly IRL! Of course, plenty of sewing.

Here's a close up of this sweetie. I think this is probably a good "grandma card" from Bean for this Valentines Day.

This card meets the following challenges:

• Sketch Saturday - layout
• Ladybug Crafts Ink - #9 Anything Goes
• Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
