Stamping Dragon Deisigns Pyramage & A Free SVG Bag!

Hi, everyone!

I thought I'd switch things up a bit with my Stamping Dragon Designs post today. Normally I create a card with the adorable dragon images that Janette offers, but today I want to show you what I've created using one of the beautiful Decoupage and Pyramage Pages that she has in her store!

This bag is an svg file I created, inspired by my great friend, Cely! :0)

Both sides of the bag are decorated the same. 

The handle is made up of sea horses, starfish and dolphins. 

The Lighthouse Pyramage is actually a four layer file, and comes as ovals or squares, but I kept messing up the last smallest oval cut, so I gave up and just used three. lol! It was "one of those" moments! I added some inking to the edges of each layer to give it some depth. 

The Beach Bag SVG file contains the bag, a bottom layer to go under the word "Enjoy" and the frame around the word. The bag is one cut, and all pieces fit on the 12x12 at the same time. There are two files in the folder: one with no score lines, and one with. For the one with score lines, tou have to change the line style over to dashes after you open it. 

I did not create this one as a GSD file, but if you need it that way, please ask. 

The final bag measures approximately

1-3/4" x 7-1/2" x 3-1/4"

Please visit the Stamping Dragon Designs store to pickup your Lighthouse Pyramage!

Q-Pig

 I chose to use the new release image, Q-Pig on my card. I just couldn't resist him. I think he is a very funny little cupid, and I hope you think I did him some justice with my new punches and all the inking I did for background layers. I even made my own dp for this one!

I did have hamsters when I was in my 'tweens, and I tried to color this guy after the way one of my Teddy Bear Hansters was colored.....a soft golden brown.  :0)

I know you didn't come by to read my chatter, so without further ado, here's today's mini-challenge:

BUGABOO FAVORITES -

PRIMARY COLORS + BLING!

We want to see to see you create a birthday project in primary colors, and add some BLING to it!

Click Image to Enlarge

My card uses one of my all-time favorite Stella images - Stella Birthday - aged to perfection.

I used some Nesties for the frame and ovals. The party hat is cut from a Sizzlit, and blinged up with some Stickles. The dots around the frame and on Stella's hat are also Stickles. The scalloped sentiment and larger oval base are SU punches. A little bit of paper glaze gives her glasses a realistic look, and adds some depth to the balloon.

Now that you've been inspired ( I hope!), why not head over to the Bugaboo Stamps store and pick up this cutie for yourself?
