I finally got a chance yesterday to make some samples with the CC Designs Bitzy Bugz. Aren't they the cutest little things?? I love them!
For this card I used all Stampin' Up! inks and card stocks, I stamped this Play Ball stamp in Versafine black ink and the large solid shadow spot in Creamy Caramel. I used SU markers to color him in.
I didn't have any sentiments that I thought would "fit" so I made my own using these Karen Foster snap stamps (I think this is the 1/4" casual alpha?? I got it at my local scrapbook store MONTHS ago!!).
I made this little baseball "charm" by punching out a circle of white CS (you can see Lauren's easy instructions on how to do this here - that's what made me think of doing this!), marking the lines, then sponging the edges. I then covered it in VersaMark and embossed it with clear embossing powder, punched a hole in it and attached it with a piece of string.
I punched holes in the main image to thread the ribbon through so that it wasn't going over the bug. The green CS was put through my CuttleBug using the new Spots and Dots A2 embossing folder.
