Sale, sale, SALE over at Baby Buds Designs!

Yep, here is a video of my BBD projects!

Meet Emma and another video! :)

Hello and happy Sunday! Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Since summer is right around the corner, how about something bright and cheerful? Meet Emma from Baby Buds Designs! She is so so cute with her curvy hair, and I'm way over due for something blue. Plus I want to play along the TTCRD challenge - "paper piecing".

I don't know about you... but for me, when I use digi stamps and trying to print the image on the design paper is always a challenge for me. I never know which side to print on... actually I'm too lazy to figure it out. So, I made my own paper!

What I did it:

• I printed Emma twice from my printer
• I use one of the Emma's, use a polka dot stamp (Stampers Anonymous) with versamark, heated dry, then ink her whole dress in Ranger distressing in broken china
• Wipe out the extra color with a baby wipe
• Cut out her pretty little dress

Goodies that I used:

Paper: Basic Grey Lauderdale

Copic markers: E000, E00, E01, E50, E53, B00

Others: Washi paper tape, twine, glitter

Well, I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

New cuties from Baby Buds Designs.

Hello and happy Monday! Over at the Baby Buds Designs, they are releasing 2 new Baby Buds today! They are Hannah and Emma, they are so so cute and adorable! You can find Hannah and Emma HERE!

Here is a card that I made using Hannah, I used the sketch layout from CPS card sketches. And of course, I kept in mind with the Baby Buds Designs May challenge, the theme is punches and dies, so I used one of my favorite nestabilities dies Label 14. For more details on the challenge, click here!

Stamp: Baby Buds Designs Hannah

Paper: SEI Sunny day

Copics: E00, E01, E55, E57,R20, R81, R83, R85, RV19, RV42

At my craft lab + Baby Buds Challenge

Good morning, how are you today? Today is a very beautiful day. Yes yes, it's the day for the Royal Wedding. But for me, I will be at the CKC Convention, Manchester, NH. My crafty friends and I will be taking a few classes and shopping the day away. Plus, we are going to have our own crop night. I'll back to show up what I made, so stay tune!

Until then, over the Baby Bud Designs blog, there will be another monthly challenge (this month is Punches & Dies!). So, pull out your spellbinders punches, etc... Craft away! Plus, there is a freebie Baby Bud Umbrella (for a limited time only), hop over at grab it now! Isn't the umbrella so cute? I wanted to experiment a little bit... I put on my mad scientist hat and lab coat.

How about a polka dot umbrella? I don't know about you... I love paper piecing, but it can be challenging with digi stamps. And I never remember which is the correct right to load in the printer. So, there I decided to make my own paper...

I used a rubber polka dot background stamp, instead of ink pad... I used the new Faber-Castell big brush pen. Then I covered the dots with glossy accent.

Then I covered the Baby Bud Umbrella with Tim Holtz distressing ink pad in mustard seed. (If the red polka dots look too yellow, you can lightly wrap in with a wet paper towel or baby wipe)

Viola! I popped it with another Baby Buds Umbrella to add some dimension.

Hope you like it and happy Friday!

Happy happy Birthday Mary Anne!

Woohoo, happy Tuesday!! And I would like to wish Mary Anne (who is the amazing artist who created these adorable cutie pies from Baby Buds Designs) a very happy Birthday!

Tags and more...

Happy Sunday and how are you? I had a super super fun day yesterday. My amazing crafty friends and I went to our local scrapbooking store (Absolutely Everything, Topsfield, MA) to take two great classes called Ink and Paint Techniques. And I'm excited to meet one of my fellow Baby Buds Designs Lady Buds Lisa.

Here are the tags that we made during the first class, we used Tim Holtz distressing ink pads, embossing powder, crackle paint, perfect pearls mist, dabbers paints and more...

And here are the tags from the second class, we got to play with perfect pearls (the little tiny bottles of stuff which have been sitting in my draw forever and a day, haha!), more perfect pearl mists, and not to mention the beautiful stamps.

A picture of the sweet Lisa and I.

Finally, a project with this adorable little guy from Baby Buds Designs, this is called Ryley. And of course, I have to use the goodies and techniques that I learned from class and shopping, right? So, I used my new TH Sizzix tag dies, created the tag. Using the distressing ink pad to create the background with this super cool 6x6 template (birds of the feather).
