A B C D E F G ...

The challenge at the Hambo Hoedown this week is an ALPHABET CHALLENGE.Use any Hambo image, digi or rubber, choose a letter of the alphabet, then use 2 or 3 things that start with that letter. Here's my card. Can you guess what letter I chose?



I used Hambo's digi image Geranium. I printed it twice and colored it with my Red Copics. Then I cut out one image and popped it up over the other image. I scored lines around the image to frame it. I don't usually use big bows on my cards, but this needed something at the bottom to balance the image so I added Ribbon and a bow and a button with a Rhinestone center. My letter was R!

Last Challenge as a Bacon Bit

Four months ago I became a Bacon Bit, a member of Hambo Stamps design team. I was so excited and a little nervous because it was my first time being on a design team. I couldn't have ask for a better experience. Hambo Stamps is the best!

The challenge this week is to CASE any card in Hambo's rubber stamp or digital image gallery.
Here is my card...


I CASED this card by Holly McMillen


I kept the layout and colors the same. I changed the shape of the sentiment and used dewdrops in place of brads.  My friend Gloria, who makes gorgeous cards, sent me a template and a tutorial on making the clouds. This is my first attempt and I love how they turned out. IRL the dragonfly's wings are very glittery.

I'll miss being a Bacon Bit but I plan to keep dancing at the Hoedown!

Score with Geraniums

Score one this week with the Hoedown challenge! Use the Geranium digi or any Hambo digi or stamp and score your project. I decided to go CAS (clean & simple) with my card. My card is 41/2" square. I used my ScorBuddy and scored a frame around the image, colored it with Copics and matted it on SU Gray cardstock.  The sentiment is a rub-on.


Be sure to visit the Hoedown and see what the other DT members designed to inspire you. Then score, score! score!

Tic Tac Toe Three in a Row

We're playing Tic Tac Toe at the Hambo Hoedown this week. The challenge is to use three of the boxes on the Tic Tac Toe card and Little Indian digi by Hambo Stamps to make a project. I picked the top row of the card and used ribbon, eyelets and punches.


The brown felt ric rac ribbon (that I've had for ages) gave me the idea to cut the cardstock to make a sort of Indian design. She looked like she was dancing so I decided to use "Celebrate" for the sentiment. I punched a Summer Sun circle to put behind the image to make it stand out more. It's such a cute image.



Be sure to visit the Hoedown to see what the other DT members have made to inspire you. Then join in our game of Tic Tac Toe.

More Pop-ups

Here are the other two pop-up cards that I made at Great Scraps. I love the little hedgehogs and the Happy Birthday is a Martha Stewart punch.




This one is so cool. It folds flat to put in an envelop and stands up when you pull the tag.



All of the pop-up cards were easy and fun to make. I really enjoyed the class.
