Sending You Bugs of Love

My card today is for Digital Delights and is the next in my Spring series. I used Bugs from the Bugs of Love Bunny Set as my central image.

I was looking for a different fold to try and ended up with a Joy Fold.  I got the template and tutorial from Split Coast Stampers.
This is the card when it is closed
I colored Bugs here with Copics.  It is difficult to see, but I stripped the shirt with green and yellow.

The top frame and image opens up


You can add your tidings on the inside of the Joy Fold.

Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, GinaK

Peek-a-Boo Bee Friends

I have another Peek-a-Boo card to share for my Digital Delights card this week.

The bouquet of flowers is made with a corner die from Spellbinders that is rolled around on itself and glued.
Then I inserted the rosebuds and added the bow.

When you start to open the card you can see the images change.




The final stage shows the hidden image.




I found this pattern on Norma's blog - From My Craft Room.

Live in the Present!


As we enter the new year most of us take stock of the recent past and sometimes make new year's resolutions.  My resolution is to "live in the present" as much as possible. 


I love this Just Right sentiment and it goes well with my resolution and this scenic card.

I started my scene by stamping Tilda - Key Largo and then masked her for the rest of the scene development.  I added Sutter stamps water G795, Art Impressions psalms, Coronado Island sailboat, and Stampscapes 302A Gulls.
