For a chance at winning an awesome prize, link your creation over at Cuttlebug Mania.

Don't forget to let us know how you used your Cuttlebug!

Explosion Box Size:  4" x 4" x 4"

I found an Explosion Box online and changed measurements up to fit my design. The outer box is 4" x 4" x 4", and the inner box is 2" x 2" x 2".

I used the digital stamp Bambino by Sugar Nellie Simply Adorable available at Funky Kits, and coloured it with Copics.

I found a baby shoe pattern online and made a paper shoe from the idea.  The bigger square-ish areas were for the staff at work to write congrats.

The letters I cut out with my Slice (Playground Fonts Cartridge), it has the shadow option...perfect for matting the letters, which I embossed with my Swiss Dots embossing folder.

I embossed Spellbinders Labels 22 with the Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder.

Pink Happy Birthday Window Card

Hello and welcome here.  I've been busy making cards again, and today I have a feminine birthday card to share with you. I usually layer 'up' my images ore sentiments, and often forget that you can make a window and pop that up while the sentiment or image remains on the card base. It came together quickly, gotta love that!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

For some added interest I embossed the frame after I cut the window in my CS.  I stamped the sentiment by Flourishes in black, and for the flourish I used 3rd generation ink (it just means I stamped on a piece of paper twice, before I stamped on the sentiment). I finished off the card with a bow in the corner, and to even things out I added pearls in the opposite corner. 

Inside:

Recipe:  Flourishes SS-Happy Birthday, CHF SS- Beautiful, CTMH SS-Tender Tags & Card Chatter, PP-My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks "Home" Dotted Paper, CTMH CS-White Daisy, Distress Ink-Aged Mahogany, CTMH Ink-Black, EF-Craft Concepts Budding Vine, Spellbinders-Labels 20, Wild Orchid Crafts Rose Petal Vintage Seam Binding, Recollections Floral Embellishments, Pearls, Foam Squares.

Enjoy,

CHF Sneak Peek Day 4!

Hello and welcome here! It's Day 4 of Cornish Heritage Farms (CHF) Sneak Peek week. Tomorrow evening starting at 10 pm EST is the Blog Hop, and when the rubber stamps we've been showing you this week are available to you in the CHF store!!

Here is my card for you today.

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

On the outside of my card I used a FREE digital stamp from CHF called Flower Wheelbarrow, and it's available right now in the store. This was one of the cards I sent to CHF when I applied for a DT position, and since I hadn't shared it with you yet I thought I would now. I hadn't finished off the inside and I thought it was the perfect space to use a flourish from the Rubber Stamp Set Beautiful.

Inside:

I punched out a few flowers to add to the flourish. The stamp set has several different flourishes and the sentiment 'Beautiful' with it.

Recipe: CHF SS-Beautiful LL6004, CHF Digital-Wheelbarrow, PP-My Mind's Eye Little Miss Muffet Hello Beautiful & Crate Paper Farmhouse Coll'n Homemade, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Topiary, Textured CS-Burgundy, Distress Ink- Aged Mahogany, Spellbinder's-Fancy Tags2 & Labels 10, Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch, BossKut-Floral Flourish Die, Our Daily Bread Fence Di, Wild Orchid Flowers-Pink Tone 1" Roses Set A & Pink Tone 5/8" Roses Set B, Recollections Flowers, Copics.

Inspired Stamps Christmas Tag Blog Hop

Hello, if you came from CHERE'S Blog, you're on the right track! This week Inspired Stamps is having a Blog Hop, and the DT is sharing Christmas Tags.

You can start at the Inspired Stamps Blog, or continue from here and go around.

Tag Size: 3" x 6.25"

Antoinette (Inspired Stamps creator/owner) sent each of the DT a package containing the newest stamps, and some paper and embellishments!! THANK-YOU for your generosity Antoinette, I used many of the items on my Tag!

I coloured His Little Ones: Christmas Girl with Copics and added Gold Flower Soft, and Polar White Flower Soft to the greenery and coat...the Gold Flower Soft has sparkles in it. I cut out a scalloped circle and embossed snowflake on it, attached it to the doily and added glitter brad-like thingies.

There were also some teal coloured flowers in the package from Antoinette, and I added a few of my own to fill out the look. The snowflake is silver glitter...the camera doesn't pick it up, and I layered ribbon to finish off the bottom.
