Snowglobe Ava

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and its a bingo challenge!

I chose to do the top row of brown, ribbon and bugaboo image. I used Bugaboo's image of Snowglobe Ava and made it into an easel card. I matted the globe and left the rest. Its very hard to see but I spritzed the snowglobe with shimmer spray and IRL it looks amazing!

The base is a simple bow and snowflakes with pearls. 

Drop on by Catch the Bug and see what the other DT created and then give the challenge a try. You could win fantastic stamps! If you haven't seen the new releases yet stop on by there, they are 50% off until next Tuesdays releases!

Snowflake Sheep

Good morning, this week Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge and their theme is to use the colour Coral, a little or a lot. Well I used a LOT of coral, its a very non-traditional Christmas card colour and I love it! I used Doodle Pantry's Snowflake Sheep for my image. Its hard to see in the photo but I put stickles in the centre of all the snowflakes both on the background paper and in the image as well as the die cuts! Very glittery IRL.

How to make your images pop

Good morning! Today is my last day as guest designer for Bugaboo Digital Stamps and part of being a guest designer was to create a tutorial of something, so I am doing a tutorial on how to create 3-D images. I chose to use Bugaboo's Winter Goodies and printed it off three times. Since I have the three images I also test the look of different colours that's why the mug in one image is green which I didn't  like so didn't use.

I cut out all the images I want to pop up and then use a mat and stylus on them to create a curved look. You don't need the stylus you can use your fingers but on the smaller images the stylus comes in handy.

Once the images are cut out I take a black marker (water based) to the outside edges. I don't use alcohol markers the ink seems to absorb too fast on the edges and doesn't give a clean finish. 

Then I attach the images with either glue dots or clear dollar store glue pads

I love how this turned out. 

I've had a great time the past two months as a guest designer for Bugaboo what a great team, thanks Ladies!
