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!

More Green Inspiration From The DT

Each week we will post more inspiration from our DT. We want to get your creativity flowing. We are still with the Green theme and this is what our DT came up with!
Donna
Sentement: Let the relaxation begin, Happy Retirement
Recipe: Cuttlebug embossing folder=Fleur di Lis/ cardstock=Kiwi Kiss, Naturals White(SU!)/ ColorCore Cardstock=Key Lime(Coredinations)/ stamps=Chairs to You(Flourishes) & sentiment(SU!)/ markers=Copic.
Technique: I embossed the ColorCore paper with the Fleur de Lis embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I then sanded the surface to bring out the green core...the more you sand, the more color will show through! I chose this folder because it reminds me of wallpaper and I thought it would look cute with the chair!
Michelle
Easel Card
Recipe: Leaves cut from a sizzix die, chalked and shaped into a heart. I embossed with one of the Fancy Corners embossing folders.  The owl is a Cricut image that I flocked and added crystal jewels for the eyes.  The tree trunk was embossed with the Distressed Lines embossing folder.  I also added were green crystal jewels, rub on lettering and organza ribbon.

Suzann

Technique: I embossed paper with a white core & then sanded it lightly to create the white dots.

Michelle
"Friends 4 ever" I used DCWV embossed paper, and various other patterned papers. All three critters were cut out and paper pieced together. I embossed the turtle shell with diamonds in the rough , the turtle body was embossed with spots & dots, and the bee wings were embossed with d'vine swirls. I also used color bok olive ink and QQ-green w/envy ink pad. The lettering was cut from Hippie Chick die set, and the paper flowers are from Making Memories.
Lynne
I bought this little wooden "purse/bag" from Michael's for a dollar!! I painted it and added some gold glimmer mist (I wasn't sure how it would be on wood but it is okay)..I used my scribble flower cuttlebug die to cut my flower.. the inside layer is some flocked paper and then the outside is just white card stock. I used some rik rac to make the "stems"...I think this would be a great way to give a gift to someone.. instead of the traditional gift bag..
