The Cuttlebug Spot - Challenge 54

Whew I can't believe the week is gone and I forgot to post this! Jeepers Creepers, LOL! This week at The Cuttlebug Spot, we made Halloween themed cards using green, purple and black colors. I had fun with K&Co stickers from last year, and some fun new paper this year. The background has little bats flying on it... I know they're hard to see but I love them!

The Cuttlebug Spot - Challenge 53 - Trick or Treat

With thoughts of Halloween in our minds, The Cuttlebug Spot's challenge this week is to make a treat bag or wrapper. I found this little cutie on Splitcoast Stampers. I wanted something that would lend more flare from the contents bright colors then the decoration itself, as the goodies really are what we're all after anyways, right!?!? Cuttlebug's die/emboss set bats and spider went perfect with my EK Success Bat border punch. Simple, fun, super cute!
Our winner this week will enjoy a $20 gift certificate to spend as you wish with Oh My Crafts. Be sure to stop by and see the other DT work, as well as show us what you're up to!
Have a great week~

The Cuttlebug Spot - We are Falling, challenge #50

Get out your fall goodies and make anything FALL themed this week with us at The Cuttlebug Spot. It's getting to be a bit nippy outside, the leaves are changing, the gardens are about to sleep for the winter... this is my favorite time of year. My card this week is a simple one. I used a printable stamp from The Cutting Cafe with my Maple leaf emboss / cut combo set. Add a ribbon and whallah... Be sure to stop by and have a look at the beautiful DT creations this week.

The Cuttlebug Spot - Ink Up with Challenge #49

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary at The Cuttlebug Spot, we're revisiting our challenge from that first week... INK UP your embossing folder. This is such a fun technique. I used The Apron Shaped Card from The Cutting Cafe. I think this is just too cute and perfect for all this harvest cookin' I'm doing! I used K&Co Lemon Drop paper and the new Moroccan Screen A2 Cuttlebug Folder to make this little card. Check out the other DT projects and play along this week!

The Cuttlebug Spot - Challenge 47

Happy Labor Day :) This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we've had some fun making projects with a bird. I've used a cute digi stamp from Lily Boo's Boutique. While I was coloring it I wasn't quite sure how I would finish it up which is where the front of the card came from... just the image cut out. It opens backwards, left to right, which is sort of silly but also adds to the fun in the card. I printed a 2nd copy of the stamp, colored the foliage of the tree only, and embossed with the A2 Tiny Bubbles folder. You'll find A LOT of inspiration with the DT projects so be sure to stop by. I am really blown away by their talent week after week. Also, if you want to make your own card with a bird on it, we've got a very fun prize this week sponsored by our own Margie. A special little Cricut cartridge is waiting for you... Get craftin!

The Cuttelbug Spot - Challenge 46

Who's ready for school to start??? The Cuttlebug Spot is celebrating education with our projects this week. My son is starting Kindergarten, and as of this week has been accepted to the best place we could ask for him to start his schooling... and his teacher... well she's one of my best friends so it just doesn't get much better! My card is super simple this week due to limited time. The Cutting Cafe has this great "Just A Little Something From Me To You For My Teacher Stamp. 99 cent special and well worth it. I used the Cuttlebug A2 Diamond Plate folder. EK Success border punch ABC123. DCVW paper, misc ribbon and felt shapes.

Play along with us this week and create anything that is school or education themed. We've got a $20 gift certificate sponsored by Custom Crops this week for one creative participant!

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge 45 - HOT

This week at The Cuttlebug Spot our challenge is to use the word HOT in some way on our project. This is a really great challenge for DT inspiration as we all had a blank canvas to start and we all created such different things. Love it!

My stamp is a super cute digi 'More Teddies' stamp from Lily Boo's Boutiques. My sentiment is my 'own' digi stamp, lol. Paper is American Crafts. Cuttlebug folders used: A2 Heart Block and Houndstooth.
