National Cocoa Day!

Hi y'all! 
Happy Wednesday and Happy National Cocoa Day! 


On the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog we're having a little fun for National Cocoa Day...feel free to swing on over to the CLC blog and see all the projects! :) 

I'm sharing a simple card using some Echo Park Paper Co. and Pretty Pink Posh goodies. Without further ado, here is my card...


I started with using a piece of vellum paper and stenciling on a single cup, then added some marshmallows with a white paint pen. I added a sentiment in white ink, which after doing so, thought I probably should have white heat embossed it. But, I didn't do so because I'm not always sure about heat embossing on vellum, sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. (Not sure why?...) To put a final touch on things, I used some burlap twine to add a bow. Simple, right?!...

Have a wonderful day and see you soon!

Noel

Hi y'all! 
Happy Tuesday! 



Today, I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog sharing some cards using some Erin Lee Creative goodies! We are having some fun on the CLC blog with 'We Run on Coffee and Christmas Cheer' a feature running from Dec.1 to Dec.12. You'll wanna be sure to check out the CLC blog for all the fun and details. Check out the sponsors!...



Without further ado, here are my cards...I couldn't decide which I liked better, so I'm showing both! :)



I did some simple stenciling with Erin Lee Creative's Whimsy Christmas Tree stencil and then used Erin Lee Creative's Coffee Heart die on the stenciled panel. I layered the die cutting three times, to give it a little more of a 'pop' from the stenciled background. To finish things off, I used Erin Lee Creative's Joy to the World die set for the 'noel'. Fun, right?!...Which one do you prefer?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day and see you soon! 

*Note: For each card I did the same thing, just different colors and a touch of paint splatters on the blue one.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge(reminder)!

Hi y'all! 
Hope all is well?! :)




I'm just swinging in today with a reminder about the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #23...there's still time to join in! And here's one more card I made for the challenge...


Simple, right?!...Once again, I did some mixing and matching with different companies. Some die cutting and layering with the cups and then a little embossing (using an embossing folder) for the background. Then added a touch of holly/berries and even a little 'Santa' belt for the cup. Cute, right?!...

That's all for me, be sure to swing on over to the CCCC#23 to see more inspiration and to join in on the fun! Hope to see you there! :)

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop-Be Merry

Hi y'all! 
Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?!...I've been hopping along with the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop and having so much fun! 


Seeing all the amazing inspiration, I managed to whip up another card! Without further ado, here is my card...


A little bit about this card, everything on it and even the background I already had made, besides the letters. You see, I have a couple containers where I put die cut pieces, colored pieces, etc. in and well, I decided since I haven't really used anything out of them in quite some time, I'd dig in to see what I would find. So glad I did! Super quick and easy and even used up some of the pieces I had sitting...again, for quite some time. (lol) 


That's all for me. Be sure to check out the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop for fun and inspiration! :) Happy Hopping!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful week!

Ugly Sweaters?...

Hi y'all! 
Hope all is well?! :)

I'm sharing a card I designed for Scrapbook Pal, today. Ugly sweaters?!...I'm not sure you can even make these sweaters ugly, no matter what colors you use! heehee 


I’m playing with Lawn Fawn’s Ugly & Bright stamp set and die set! I kept things simple and had some fun with things.


I stamped out the images on a marker friendly cardstock and then colored them using Copic markers. After, I used the matching dies and assembled each reindeer.



I used a couple little pieces of Lawn Fawn’s Knit Picky papers and then added on the reindeers. To finish things off, a sentiment stamped on white cardstock and trimmed into a banner and a touch of enamel dots. Fun, right?! 



Well, that's all for me.

2. Color in images using Copic markers. E31E23E27E47B0000B000R27R89B18B29B39C5Y11Y15.



3. Take your white card base and adhere the die cut window with the spiffy speckles behind it, along with foam squares on the back of it.

4. Adhere colored die cut images (using foam squares on the back of some of the images) and adhere additional die cut snowflakes.

5. Stamp on sentiments to white cardstock, cut into strips/banners and add foam squares on the back. Add to card.

Thank you

Hi y'all!


Today, I'm sharing a card I designed for Scrapbook Pal.

Are you a fan of monochromatic color schemes or sepia color schemes? I love them, even though I don’t always use them. However, they seem to give such an impact and that’s what I did for this card.



I used Spellbinders Stylish Oval Birthday Wishes stamp set. I simply stamped on the image using marker friendly ink, as well as cardstock. Then I used Copic Sketch Markers E34, E57, and E18 to color things in.



Lastly, I outlined the image using Copic Sketch Marker BG10 and then added Spellbinders Two Tone Teal enamel dots. Oh, and don’t forget to add the sentiment! (heehee) Simple, right?



Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day and see you soon!

Main Products used: Spellbinders-Stylish Oval Birthday Wishes stamp set, Copic Sketch Markers-E34, E57, E18, and BG10, Spellbinders-Two Tone Teal enamel dots, Lawn Fawn-Jet Black ink.
