Bitten By the Bug 2: Fun and Games

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Bitten by the Bug 2 has a new challenge today entitled "Fun and Games".  My favorite sport, and I do not watch a lot of sports, is baseball.  I enjoy it because I understand it.  I like to attend games for the fun and fellowship.  So, the fun and games I represented in the challenge was Baseball.

Here is the envelope card I created with a file from My Scrap Chick.

 With a few pieces of cardstock and my Cricut, I created a cute envelope card to give to my favorite player.

Here is a look at the back where you could write your message.

Now it is your turn.  Create a project with your Cricut that has to do with fun and games and share it with us a Bitten by the Bug 2.

Bitten By the Bug 2: Something to Crow About

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Fall is here and all the sights and sounds and colors are here.  Something I love to see in fall are scarecrows, pumpkins and the hat bales.  I love the idea of fall, the harvest time, so this was the perfect challenge for me.

I created this cute adorable card using my Cricut and a svg file from My Scrap Chick. 

Isn't he the cutest?  I love that cute smile and simplicity of his face.  I used cardstock in different colors that I had in my stash.  The pattern paper for his arm is from "Fall Breeze" from Echo Park.

The card is an easel card, so when you open it up, it stands up.
 

The stamped sentiment is from Queen and Company's Special Delivery set.  I finished the card off by adding some twine to his wrist and white dots for the crows eye and the inside of the sunflower center.

Bitten by the Bug 2 in Collaboration with Double Trouble Challenge

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

The challenge for the next two weeks on Bitten by the Bug 2 is a collaboration with Double Trouble Challenge Blog.  The theme is baby, so I wanted to make this adorable onesie box from My Scrap Chick.

I used cardstock from my stash and pattern paper from Fun Stampers Journey's Good Life collection.

I cut everything out with my Cricut and then created the box first.

I then put the little vest and tie on to the top using foam squares.  For an added dimension, I added some blue buttons from my stash.

I finished the box off by adding stitched lines with a white pen around the edges.

The box is a nice size and would be perfect for a small gift or candy.

Now it is your turn.  Check out the information on Bitten by the Bug 2 and create your own Baby project and share it with us.

Bitten by the Bug 2: Coffee Challenge

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is a new challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 and the challenge is to create something with coffee.   It is my challenge which I am in charge of.  

I found this fun cut file at My Scrap Chick and had to make it. 

 

 I used some red cardstock I had on hand and the pattern paper is from an old pad of paper I have had from Michael's.  

I then stamped the little hot chocolate stamp from Lawn Fawn with Black Licorice ink from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then used the Fun Stampers Journey's Journey Color Burst pencils.

Here is a look at the inside.

 Here is a close up of the bow and tag.

Bitten by the Bug 2: Summer Fun

Hello Crafty Friends,

Summer is coming to a close for many families as the kids go back to school, virtually or in-person.  Summer has been a great time to have a break from school.  But summer, can also be full of fun activities, even though this year has been quite different.

As a kid, I remember having lemonade stands in the summer to not only earn money, but also to drink lemonade, which is so good in the summer.

So, my project for summer fun is a lemonade stand box card.

The file I used is from My Scrap Chick.  I cut everything out of cardstock from my stash. 

Here are some more close up pictures.

To make the lemons and lemonade realistic, I added some Fun Stampers Journey Journey Glaze to the tops.

I hope you have found inspiration on my blog.  Come join the fun at Bitten By the Bug 2 with your own creations here.

This is a picture of the little holder laying on it's side to show you how you decorate the side of the holder.  
Here is a picture of the side of the holder.

Each of the nuggets have a piece of pattern paper around each one.
