Just Buggin Go Green

This week our challenge was to create something green for St. Patrick's Day. I thought I would try and use one of the adorable princesses found on the Once Upon a Princess cartridge and turn her into some kind of St. Patrick's Day Fairy (those exist don't they?). I just a pack of some cool shimmer paper from Die cuts with a view and that is what I used for all of the princess (fairy)

except her skin. I put a shamrock on her wand and added a shamrock hat from Designers Calendar. The card base is cut from A Child's Year (this cartridge is full of fun card bases for all occasions) and I used the Bazzil swiss dots cardstock for that and put some more of the green shimmer paper behind the shamrock cut outs. I gave the princess some wiggly eyes, with eyelashes of course, and stamped a nose and mouth from my peach keen face sets. We would love to see your St. Patty's Day creations, so head on over to Just Buggin and show us what you come up with.

Just Buggin- Emboss It

This week's Just Buggin challenge is to emboss your die cuts. I love using my cuttlebug along with my cricut. I decided to make a little gift bag from the new cartridge Once Upon a Princess.

This cartridge is full of great stuff. I cut the gift bag and then embossed it with my Cuttlebug harlequin folder and lightly sanded it to bring the pattern out a little more. This gift bag also cuts coordinating handles in the shape of bows which are adorable. I added a little bit of bling in the middle for excitement. Then I cut the sentiment and the gift. I embossed the top layer with my swiss dots folder. If you love die cuts and you love embossing, you need to get over to Just Buggin and show us what you can come up with!
