Hello everyone.  It's Kim from Katydid Cards sharing a YouTube video from our sponsor this month, Craftin' Desert Divas.

For those of you who have worked with digital stamps previously, this will be a big help.

I'm also sharing a video on using their SVG files in the event the e-cutter is your go-to for your craft projects.

And now that you know everything you need to know about Craftin' Desert Divas, here's a third video featuring CCD images on a fancy fold card, which happens to be our challenge theme this month.

I hope you plan on joining us in our challenge this month. Any sort of fancy fold you want!  Go crazy!

One lucky winner, picked at random, will win two digital images from Craftin' Desert Divas.

DT: Thank You Goodie Bags

Dear Scrappers,

This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing with you some goodie bags for my children teachers, that I created using this month's sponsor image: autumn-squirrel

I used some CTMH papers from my large stash and a Sizzix bag-topper die-set.

I made several versions:

Here is a close-up of the shaker tag (first time I made this type of tags), I made using this digital image:

YouTube Tuesday-Bugaboo Stamp's Stella Image Card

Pin It
Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with another YouTube Tuesday.

Today I'm sharing a video featuring "Stella", one of Bugaboo Stamps signature characters.  I have to admit, I love Stella and if you check her out at the Bugaboo store, you'll see that she speaks for a lot of women of "a certain age" when you're old enough to say it like it is!

There's nothing earth-shattering about the making of this card but she does mention she printed this image one and colored it.  Then she copied it and the copies were pretty good, saving her from having to color each image individually.  When you're making multiples of cards, this is a big time saver.

I know I'm going try this and I hope you do, too.  I also hope you will join us in our monthly challenge.  This month, a color challenge.

And here's the color palette for you to use:

Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and one lucky winner, picked at random, will receive a gift code to their store!

I love those tags "hidden" in the background. They are perfect for adding special thank you messages for our love ones during this season. The rest of the sketch is nice CAS, but there is plenty of room for the embellishments...

If you decide to use this sketch, please let us know, so we can visit your page a give you some love.

DT Day with Bugaboo Stamps

Pin It

Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts, Today is my day to show off what I have made with my image from this month's sponsor: Bugaboo Stamps.

I choose this cute little squirrel to work with and I decided to stick to this month's color pallet.

 

I used chalks to color him then I added a bit of Glazed Dimensions to the hearts and little highlight areas of the acorns. I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide on the edges.

 

The card measures 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall. I added a piece of fall themed washi tape, a bit of twine and a few pearls to finish the card off.

 

Please come and join us for this month's color challenge at Connie Can Crop. Only one more challenge after this one.
