Bugaboo Stella Christmas card

Hello everyone and welcome to the November challenge at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge

Our optional twist this month is Bah Humbug and I had to put my thinking cap on for this one! I went through all my supplies looking for ideas without finding anything, but before giving up on the twist for the first time this year, I had a browse through a box of images that I had leftover from previous projects and came across this image of Bugaboo's Stella looking suitably grumpy!

I quickly coloured the image with Copic markers, stamped a rug and added the sentiment which was embossed in white. I glazed Stella's glasses and the baubles on the tree with a glaze pen and they look quite nice in person, but don't show up in the photos,

I really needed a quick card this time because I've not been feeling very creative. The return of my cough added to a sore throat leads me to think I must be run down as I'm picking things up so easily. I'll have to look for a pick me up remedy! What's your recommendation for one?

I hope you are all keeping well and fighting off the bugs. Only one more HLS challenge to go before the big day. Yikes - that is scary!!!

I'd like to play along at

Papertrey Ink Christmas card with Bugaboo image

Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to another Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge.

This time Anything Goes and we are sponsored by

Bugaboo Stamps


and

Di's Digistamps

I wanted to make a card for some friends who had a new baby a couple of months ago, and chose a cute image from Bugaboo for this. I'm way behind but I'm trying to brush up my Copic skills with the Online Card Classes, and I also wanted to try out my new Papertrey Ink Snow Globe Dies, so came up with this shaker card:-

The card, paper and Banner Borders are all PTI, and the snowflakes in the shaker part are from the snow globe die set. I coloured the image with Copics and added some glitter to his hat. The banner and sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps. 

We have a lot of new Design Team Members over on the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge DT, so why not pop over and give them a welcome!

Bugaboo Christmas card for Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge

Hello everyone, 

The time has come for another challenge over at The Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge and this time our theme is Santa and/or Elves? Our kind sponsor is  Bugaboo Stamps

and I chose one of their fun digi stamps Santa Stella for my card

I coloured the image with Copic markers, and added a rug for Stella to sit on. Her expression is so funny that I computer generated a sentiment which I matted and added a little banner tag to. The image is so punchy that I didn't want to add much, so a couple of L'il Inker Stitched Square mats finished it off.

I'd like to enter this into

Christmas at Sweet Stamping - Santa
and
Crimbo Crackers - no designer paper

I've scheduled this post because I am away from home, but I'll be round to see everyone on my return.

Thanks for stopping by
