Happy Holidays

  Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I'm sharing this fun holiday card using the Lorraine-Ugly Sweater stamp set.

I started this card with a standard A2 card base and added the rectangle mat cut from the Shaker Basics 1 die set.

I added the red scallop edge cut with the Edger Dies and the banner at the top from the Banner Dies.

I stamped and colored Lorraine with Copic Markers and added her on pop dots.

To finish, I stamped the holly and sentiment from the Stacey-Sign Board stamp set and added the holly to the banner.

I hope you all liked my card for today and thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!

Have A Ball

   Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I'm sharing a stenciled chalk background tutorial. I've gotten so used to using ink blending for my backgrounds, I forget how easy and beautiful this technique is.

I started this project using the Geo Triangles stencil and Versa Mark embossing ink with a dauber.

 NOTE* in picture below, I used a sheet of blue paper so you could see it better but I used white for the actual card.

I started by placing the stencil over my card base and using the dauber and Versa Mark Ink, I daubed in the design.

After the inked design in filled in, I removed the stencil and started adding my chalk.

I used a cotton sponge, adding some blue chalk, and rubbing lightly over the design.

For a more vibrant look, you can add several layers of chalk over the ink.

 After my card background was complete, I added a strip of matted decorative paper to the background and stamped the sentiment at the top.

I stamped and colored the Katy-Have A Ball stamp with Copic Markers and added it to the card  on pop dots.

I hope you all liked my project for today and thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!

What's This?

Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I'm sharing this fun Christmas card using the Scary Town Kit.

I started this card with a standard A2 card base and added the circle mat cut from the Shaker Basics 1 die set.

I cut the swirl bottom in white and added Stickles to make it look like snow.

I stamped and colored Jack, using a white gel pen to add in his stripes.

To finish, I added a ribbon to the side, stamped the sentiment, and added Jack on pop dots.

I hope you all liked my card for today and thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!
