Bugaboo's Holiday Chaos Day #7 - Color Inspiration

 Hello and Happy Friday!  Today is the last day of Holiday Chaos at Bugaboo's Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.  It's been a fun week of challenges and inspiration using Bugaboo's adorable stamps. Today's challenge is Color Inspired and to top it off....it's also FRIDAY FREEBIE!  

For my project today, I created a 6" square card using the Kidz Reindeer image which I colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  

The papers are from the Memory Box "Holiday Plaids" paper pad, gold mirror card from my stash, sentiment from a stamp set that was included with a UK papercrafting magazine that was purchased at JoAnn's, the ribbon was purchased at Hobby Lobby on clearance last year.

For a final touch, I added accents of white with a Gelly Roll Pen, Gold Gems and Glossy Accents to the Lights. What a wonderful way to end a week of fun than with this cute little guy dressed in his reindeer suit....reminds me of Aunt Clara's Bunny PJ's. 

I hope you've had an opportunity to join the fun and will join in today with your Color Inspiration project.  Starting tomorrow, 19th of Dec through the 1st of Jan, the Bugaoo Design Team will be on holiday break.

Have a wonderful weekend and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bugaboo's Holiday Chaos Day #6 - Photo Inspiration

 Hello and Welcome Back to Day #6 of Holiday Chaos at the Bugaboo Stamps Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.  The theme for today is Photo Inspiration:

For my team project for today, I colored the Snow Globe Santa's Sled with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and used papers from a Memory Box and Echo Park 6x6 paper pad.  I fussy cut the Snow Globe and popped up on foam pads for dimension and although it's hard to see in the photo, I accented the image with a Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter Pen.

 

Now you may think, how was my project inspired by the provided photo  - it seems to be a stretch....so hear me out....Santa's sled is missing a Reindeer (which is in the photo) and Santa is encased in a Snowglobe (it's a cold, snowy scene in the photo) and the background paper has a bauble print (the little girl is offering the Reindeer a Red Bauble) so........my inspiration all wrapped up with this cute card :)

Please visit us at Catch the Bug for the Holiday Chaos...only 2 more days left of fun and festivities.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

A Bit More Time to Craft

Ornamental Shaker Card

 Hello and Happy Saturday!  I've had a lovely day at the Craft table and I hope you had the opportunity to do some Holiday crafting as well.  Today's make features elements from the Hero Arts October 2020 Monthly Card Kit, Silver Mirror Card, Glitter and Fine Eyelash Yarn. 

I created a shaker card using the Ornament from the Hero Arts Kit.  I die cut the ornament using silver mirror card, die cut 2 Reindeer and put the shaker element together adding 2 types of fine glitter for the inside.  The designer papers are from the Doodlebug Designs "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad, the sentiment and tiny Reindeer are also from the Hero Arts kit, the fine eyelash yarn came from my stash (purchased from an Etsy Seller a few years ago).

I'm pleased with the results as Shaker Cards are definitely not my specialty.  I took an extra bit of time making sure to get every piece of the shaker element correct.  My husband said just the ornament would make a nice gift to include in Happy Mail; I'm not sure I have the patience to create more than 1 of these at a time.  It is pretty though and I like the non-traditional colors of the designer papers.

Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!
