Holiday Chaos Day 7

Good morning and welcome to the last day of Holiday Chaos (December Christmas Chaos). Today's challenge is to use the Free Bugaboo image and  a Bingo challenge!

I chose the top row and did candy canes, the freebie and glitter/bling.

IRL this card has a lot more glitter it was really hard to capture with the camera. I just love the look of Crabby Cat Christmas!

Drop on by Catch the Bug and check out what the other DT created and then start stamping, you could win amazing prizes! For a list of the click here. AND for the entire month of December all Bugaboo Images are 50% off, happy shopping!

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.

Drop on by Craftyhazelnut's and give their challenge a try! If you use a digital image you can enter our challenge AIMPDC #23 as well! Good luck and happy crafting.

Cinnamon & Berries

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Love to Scrap and their theme is anything goes! I started back on to Christmas cards because you can never have too many of them.  I used Prisma/Copic markers for the basic colour and then shaded with Prisma Pencils. I'm really getting the hang of using them. I used Doodle Pantry's Cinnamon & Berries  and really like how the shading turned out on the cinnamon stickes. I need a little more practice with the berries and leaves. You can't see it in the photo but all of the snowflakes in the background and the berries have stickles on them!

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!

Its the first of the month so that means a new release from Doodle Pantry! I always need Christmas cards and just love playing with Doodle Pantry's Ants so chose to work with Stocking Ants.
