Calling ALL beginner Cuttlebug Users!

Welcome to the Cuttlebug Blog. We are excited you have stopped by to visit. So relax, kick off your shoes and enjoy your stay here. We have decided to dedicate this site to beginners! (Seasoned Veterans welcome too!) As I am a beginner Cuttlebug'er I have looked around other blogs and get kind of discouraged by all the very advanced (and fabulous) designs. So I thought to myself, beginners need a place to feel welcome, make mistakes (as I am sure I will ;) and grow with creativity! So lets join together and Create, Inspire , Teach, Grow!

I used the Pop culture borders on the easter egg sections, and the Chicky was embossed with the Textiles embossing folder and paper pieced together. I added lots of silk flowers with metal brad centers and the corners were cut from the Fancy Corner die cuts and stickled. I also used the Pop culture borders embossing folders on various areas of my picture frame borders.

I chose to make a stair card..I have fallen in love with making these cards and using the Pop Culture border embossing folders are great for these types of cards!! I used my cuttlebug to emboss the front paper..and used my cricut for the rest of the cuts.

Suzann
Recipe: pop culture borders cuttlebug embossing folder, Bo Bunny pattern paper,
Bazzill cardstock,CTMH blank small goodie box, prima flowers and my around the block paper tagger.
Just a little side note... i love flowers, but like them to "move" on my projects.
By paper tagging them they can "wiggle" just a little. It is my favorite way to attach flowers to any project!
