Cuttlebugged Tape




Here is a card I made with only a small amount of cuttlebugging. i have bugged the tape and put a dab of Kindy Glitz in the centre. The punched flowers have been curled a little and an eyelet put in the centre with some Kindy Glitz. The sentiment is a pre-made one.

Thank you Cuttlebug Card




Now I couldn't just leave this card with the embossed backing behind the flower. I had to run it through the Cuttlebug with the border

top and bottom. I used a stencil from Crafter's Workshop to do the Thank You. I have misplaced my stamp but like the stencil as well. A little bit of Kindy Glitz in the centre of the bordered flowers. A punched scalloped backing for the flower I pulled off my bunch of silk ones in my vase with a brad in the centre.

This card is for a special family. One of my students went back to India for a holiday and I asked her if she could get me some special Indian pots to cook my Indian food in as I love Indian. Her family would not take any money for the pots and I appreciate their kindness.

Cuttlebug thank you


This is the tool I used to make the background behind the flower. How many of you still have one of these plus more designs. I have been searching through my stash and am determined to make use of all my old things. Keep an eye out to see what it can create. I think even I will be amazed.

Cuttlebug Butterfly Card


Now this card is a mixture of things. The left hand side has been bugged one way and the reverse on the right hand side.
The scalloped edged circles have been painted with Kaisercraft paint mixed with gel Medium to give that glossy appearance and the streaky appearance. I used my Cuttlebug Butterfly die and cut out the shapes in the circles and then but the outline of the butterfly in a different colour and then glued it. The texture shows through on the background. A bit bright but bright is fine sometimes. I have used 2 different Versa Color Ink pads to colour the bugged texture.

Cuttlebug and Souffle Pens




This card has been bugged and then I used the white Souffle pen to outline and colour the petals and leaves. Done much the same way as the previous card but a different affect with the fine point of the pen.I also used a metallic pencil to outline around the edge of the card.

The cardstock Is a very textured card and in an unusual shade of purple. I have shaded the edges with Versa Color inkpads. I used Mauve Kaiser pearls in the centre of the flowers and near the sentiments.

Cuttlebug and Chinagraph Pencils


This card has been bugged and then I used a white Chinagraph pencil that i bought from the Art Supply shop and coloured the flowers and outlined the petals and veins.
These pencils also come in black. If you go over the lines they can be rubbed out. I must use the black one today.
The black behind the red is a ribbon. This card can be given for Valentines Day or just as a thought.

Cuttlebug and Ribbon




Many of you know I love the metallic cardstock.I love using it and sanding it as the white shows through. I also love the Kaisercraft stamps and these 2 work well together, Kaisercraft and Cuttlebug.The sentiment has been popped up. The ribbon has been manipulated on a sticky back to sit up in places. This card can be given to both males and females.

Cuttlebug with Metallic Pencils




I found these metallic pencils in a shop the other day and I just had to have them. They were saying " Take me, take me." So I did and I bought 2 sets for myself and Jessica. I outlined and coloured these flowers with the pencils.
The sentiment is a Kaisercraft stamp.

Cuttlebug and Kaiser Stamps




I have bugged metallic cardstock by SALT and sanded it.

Put some Kindy Glitz on the flower centres and the heart is a Kaisercraft Stamp in which I stamped part of love you instead of the whole line.

Cuttlebug Christmas Star.




This is just a simple star. I painted it, bugged it and ran purple Oil Pastel over it. I added the cut up Christmas decorations to it.Once again i made some slits in the chipboard to secure the chains.

Christmas Decorations




Another Basic Grey Ornament. I painted it black, bugged it, gold Oil Pastelled it, Gel Medium, frinkles, more Gel Medium. Then glued the red merry Christmas that was on some item I received or bought and has been sitting in my kitchen for ages. A good use.

Cuttlebug Star Ornament 2




This is another star ornament I bugged. Painted in black, bugged, silver Oil pastels over the top, heated, cooled, the 3D gold Kindy Glitz rubbed over the top. This looks very metallic. All these ornaments look good on my tree.
I have more but will share them later on.

Cuttlebug Star Ornament


This one was painted blue, bugged,silver Oil Pastels over the raised bits, heated, cooled and Crystallina Kindy Glitz over the top.

Cuttlebug Christmas Ornament




This ornamant was traced from a Basic Grey chipboard ornamant onto chipboard. I painted it black and then ran silver ink over it. I then rubbed bronze Kindy Glitz over the 2 other mediums.I inked in bronze Versa Cubes around the edges. On most of these ornamants you will find these 3D embellishments that go on the tree but I cut up into little sections. In this case they are the green string of square shiny beads. They were hard to attach so i have nicked the edges of the chipboard ( cannot even see them) and slotted the string part into the nicks. They are secure.

Cuttlebug Christmas Ornaments




These little Christmas Tree Ornaments I whizzed up
yesterday. I used chipboard, Cuttlebug and embellishments. I have quite a few and the main difference will be the medium I used over the paint and the obvious colour and different bits.This one is
done with Metallic Oil Pastels in green and red.After I heated it and cooled I painted over the whole bauble with Gel Medium. This gives the shine and also protects it.
