Kids Love -- a New Release at Bugaboo Stamps

 It's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing at Bugaboo Stamps. It's New Release Day!  (or re-release day, as is the case today). Every Tuesday, there is a new or re-release that is 1/2 price for a week.  Grab this cutie while you can!

Just in time for your Valentine's creating, today, you can choose from either a boy or girl version of Kidz Heart. I created using Kidz Girl Heart:

I colored Kidz Girl Heart with Copic and Diamond Press alcohol markers.  The Diamond Press marker was overfilled and blopped. Can you see where?  I worked hard at fixing it. 

I used last week's sketch from Sketch Saturday to jump start my creativity on this card.   Thanks, Sketch Saturday!

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are from the Romantic Hearts collection. 

Both the stitched circle and stitched heart dies are from Crafter's Companion. 

You can see what the other talented Bugaboo Stamps designers made with both the girl and boy heart digis over on Catch the Bug Blog.

Spinning Christmas Joy -- For Bugaboo Stamps

 It's Tuesday today, and that's New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps.  Every Tuesday, there's a new release, or occasionally a cute re-release in the Bugaboo Stamps Store. Today, there are actually 2 new releases, and both of them are adorable!

I combined both of today's AKV Ice skater's into this card:

I thought I'd jumped on the slimline bandwagon with this card, and use a new slimline die I just got.  

I colored the AKV skaters with Copic markers, computer generated the rather original sentiment, and then completed the card.  The stitched star is a die from Crafter's Companion.  The slimline die is from Tuttie Designs. 

Check out the Catch the Bug blog to see what the other designers created with these awesome skaters!

Today's New Release is perfect for those upcoming Valentine's Day cards. This is Cute Valentine's Elephant:

I  colored up the Cute Valentine Elephant with some bright Copic markers to emphasize his cuteness.

I created the heart-shaped card base with the largest heart die I have.  I think it may be part of a Lawn Fawn set.  The inner scalloped heart is part of the same set.

I found the pretty pink heart paper at AMB Illustrations.

The sentiment is computer generated, then cut out with a heart die from my stash.  The silver heart stickers are from Paper Wishes.

And, that,  my friends, is today's darling new release at Bugaboo Stamps.  For more great inspiration, check out what the other designers have created with this Cute Valentine Elephant over on the Catch The Bug Blog.

Welcome to Winter -- a New Release at Bugaboo Stamps

It's Tuesday.  For some, that may mean tacos, for others, that means New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps!  I find new releases more exciting than tacos, myself!  Today's New Release is a great one!  I had such pleasure coloring it up!

This is Snowman Winter, and I colored him with Copic markers.  He'll be 1/2 price for the week in the Bugaboo Stamps Store.  He's a quick and easy color, so you're on to designing your card in no time -- great for mass producing, if you'd need to.

I used a wonky stitched oval die from The Scrapping Cottage (Cottage Cutz) to cut him out.  The snowflakes were cut out with dies from Lawn Fawn. Papers on this card are new from We Are 3 Digital Shop. These are 3 of the Shabby Christmas papers.

No Chocolate in Heaven?!? for Bugaboo Stamps

It's  Tuesday, and that is New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps, or in today's case, it's re-release of a great Oldie that you might not have seen in awhile.  This digi sums up a common philosophy I have about heaven!

This  is Ruby - No Chocolate in Heaven, floating on her cloud, and philosophizing about a life well lived. You gotta love Ruby!

I colored Ruby - No Chocolate in Heaven with Copic markers, then used several Spellbinders dies to cut her out and create the card shape.

I used the current sketch at the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge to jump start my creativity.  Here it is:

Today is the last day of the challenge, so I'm sneaking in under the wire on this one.

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. The cloud paper is from the Back to Basics Collection, and the bright pink paper is from the Garden Dance Collection.

I tried making a Hershey's Kiss to use as an embellishment, but it ended up looking like the emoticon for a pile of poop, so I opted for chocolate ribbon instead!  Much more appealing to the eye!

Ruby - No Chocolate in Heaven -- she's 1/2 price this week, so head on over to the Bugaboo Store!  Then, head to the Catch the Bug Blog to see what the other uber talented Bugaboo Stamps DT did with this fantastic stamp!

Today's new release is Butterfly Bear Ice Cream.  I recently got a bee stamp set with a bunch of bee sentiments on it (from Simon Says Stamp) so I decided to make my Butterfly Bear into a Bee Bear.  Here's the bee themed Butterfly Bear Ice Cream card using today's New Release:

He looked a little sad, like perhaps his ice cream is melting too fast, so I thought the sentiment fit well.  

I colored Butterfly Bear - Ice Cream with Copic markers, then fussy cut him.  I used this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday to construct the card. Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The aqua paper on the top of the card is from the Honeycomb paper collection.  The other 2 papers are from the Bumble Bee Collection.

Speaking of card construction, I used a sketch from Sketch Saturday to make this card.  It's an Anything Goes week, so I used the sketch from week #568.

I colored the May Word digi with Copic markers.  I used a Lawn Fawn fancy lattice background card front, a wooden "happy" from my stash, and some mulberry paper flowers I picked up at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I think it makes a cheerful spring card.

Sympathy and Tulips -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Tuesday, and that's a very exciting day at Bugaboo Stamps!  Tuesday is New Release day!  Today's new release has loads of possibilities!  

This is Daffodil Can:

I colored Daffodil Can with Copic markers, then used a sketch from Sketch Saturday for the layout of the card.

Here's the sketch I used:

There's a piece of mulberry paper on this card.  I used it for a challenge at The Outlawz -- Crash Your Stash.  I had to order a piece of mulberry paper specifically for the challenge from Paper Temptress, as I couldn't find any in my stash.  The other papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The background paper is from Spring Flowers.  The scalloped border piece is from Nature's Blends.  The soft flower banner piece is from Floral Expressions.  The jute on this card is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

A lost a very good friend last week that I've known for over 30 years.  I made this card for her husband, when I attend the funeral this Saturday.  It was made with many memories and tremendous love.
