So glad to have Bugaboo Stamps as our sponsor this week!
They have great variety of images, something for everyone
Be sure to check them out!
Here's my card!
I always love working, or should I say, playing with my Bugaboo images. This little penguin and snowman are so stinkin' cute! Sadly the picture's quality sucks but you can still see how adorable they are. I colored these critters using my Copic markers. I embossed part of the cardfront and added the sentiment as a tag, with a ribbon. I used a silver metallic pen to dot the tag and some mounting tape to complete the tag. Silver mirror cardstock was one of my layers. It certainly adds pizzazz. Again, I am sorry for the poor photo quality...just know it's prettier in person. hehe

It's awesome to have Sasayaki Glitter

They have great variety of images, something for everyone

Here's my card!
I had so much fun coloring this great little image from 
Sasayaki Glitter! I chose two neutral color themes from
my Copics to color these cutie mice. I fussy cut them out 
and mounted them onto a piece of embossed black cardstock.
I used some crystal lacquer on the heart for a nice POP. 
I added a sentiment from Fun Stampers Journey that seemed like a perfect match with these darling mice!

So happy to have Limited Runs Digital Stamps

Here's my card!
I just love this set from Limited Runs and I look forward to using the other images in the set. I printed the pup and sentiment/hydrant image and colored them with Copic markers before I fussy cut the pup out. I went to the internet to find my hydrant background image and printed it out. I glued my layers and the hydrant image together. I used mounting tape to pop out my little Dalmatian puppy.

So happy to have Sparkle N Sprinkle

Here's my card!
This was such a cute little cat set from Sparkle N Sprinkle and I look forward to using the other images in the set. I printed the little cat and sentiment and colored the cat with Copic markers before I fussy cut it out. I turned the sentiment into a banner. I torn some brown cardstock to create my hill and ran it through an embossing folder. I pieced my card together and added a couple of die cut clouds. I added the kitty with mounting tape to raise it up for dimension.

Altoid Gift Tin and Crafter's Companion

This is a fun and very easy little 
gift to make. It even can hold a Gift Card. 
Here are the supplies I used:
Image result for altoids      Image result for foil tape
                Altoid Tin                                                Foil Tape
                                                      
                       18kt Gold Leafing Pen                              
               Silver Leafing Pen                      Marilyn Robertson Kimono 
                                                              Embossing Folder - Oriental Floral

                    
                       SC Floral Fantasy Die Cuts - Motifs and Accessories

                  SC Floral Fantasy Clear Stamps - Blooming Sentiments

I began by cutting two pieces of the foil tape. I put the pieces in an embossing folder to create that amazing design for a POP of elegance. Then I took my silver leafing pen and "colored" the edges of my tin. I applied the foil tape to the tin lid. I used some Luxury Mirror and Sparkle cardstock from Crafter's Companion and die cut out my flowers. I used Gold for the outer part of my flower to add some contrast. I made a little banner and stamped my sentiment to finish.
