Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

Hello, hello! 

Happy FriYAY! It's that time of year again for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! Woohoo!! :) I'm sure by now most of you know about these hops but if you don't, you certainly should check things out and join in on the FUN and all the inspiration!! :) 

Without further ado, here is my card...

I went all out using some Not 2 Shabby goodies and not a single stamp! (lol) That's right, no stamping, just some mixing and matching with ephemera and patterned paper. This card came together pretty quick because of having things pretty much done. Though, I did splatter some paint onto the patterned paper, fussy cut the sentiment and then took some time to figure out where I was even putting it at. That part took me awhile for some reason...a lot of back and forth with things. (lol) But in the end things came together and then I topped things off with some sparkling enamel dots. So simple, right?!...

Don't forget to swing on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog to start hopping and playing along with the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! Hope to see you there!! :) 

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

Not 2 Shabby Sticker Book Release and IG hop!!

Hello, hello!

Happy Wednesday! 

Today, is a fun day on Instagram at the Not 2 Shabby profile! It's a brand new release and it's all about stickers!! I'm joining in on the IG hop but wanted to share things here, too.  I also included steps on how to make this card and additional photos. ;) 

Without further ado, here is my card...

I just love these stickers, they are simply amazing! I did keep things relatively simple and wanted the stickers to shine. Follow below to make this card, maybe you'll put your own twists on it?!...

• Using the EZ Wonder Die #3 with white cardstock, as well as patterned paper, die cut postage grid.
• With the white cardstock postage die cut, cut into smaller postage stamps.
• Set aside.

• Take patterned paper die cut postage pieces and adhere stickers onto them.
• Trim off the sticker that is over the edge or postage die cut pieces. (note: you probably can easily fold the sticker over onto the die cut pieces rather than cutting it off but I chose to cut things.)
• Adhere the sticker postage pieces to the white postage stamp pieces. 
• Set aside.

• Using kraft cardstock, splatter paint onto it using white paint. (note: I used a white paint marker and just 'pooled' the paint up some on a piece of cardboard and then just tapped the paint marker over the cardstock to splatter things.)
• Let dry.

• Cut the kraft panel to fit an A2 card base.
• Adhere to cardbase.
• Adhere 'stamps' onto the card, adding foam tape only on the two smaller stamps in front.
• Add some gold glitter dots/splatters using a gel pen.
• Set aside.

• Stamp sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock using black ink.
• Cut into small banner/strip.

• Adhere to the card with foam tape on the back.
• Add some burlap twine behind/around sentiment piece.
• Set aside.
• Using the sticker book, add the little banner sticker with hearts to a piece of white cardstock.
• Trim cardstock to fit the banner.
• Add foam tape on the back of the banner and add to the upper right corner of the card.
• Add sparkling enamel dots to the card.

Simple, right?!...I hope I inspired you today! 

That's all for me. But, I will be back with more to share! :) Don't forget to swing on over to the Not 2 Shabby IG profile (click, HERE) to hop along...you'll see all the amazing projects and just how fabulous these stickers are!! Hope to see you there! :)

October Not 2 Shabby Monthly Mood Board Challenge-Take 2

Hello, hello!

I'm sharing another card I designed for the October Not 2 Shabby Monthly Mood Board Challenge! If you haven't seen the challenges and/or have played along in the challenges, you definitely should! :) It's super easy to play along and you even have a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop! (More details/rules below) 

The mood board, colors, and projects can inspire you in so many ways! With that being said, I know primarily the colors may be blues and whatnot but I went with the coziness of things and the splash of red from the berries. 

Here's what I came up with...

See, a little different from the go to of the blues, right?...I just wanted to show really almost anything goes. Everyone gets inspired by different things in different ways, right?!...

So, are you ready to make this card?!...Follow the steps below to create this card or perhaps it will inspire you to put your own twist on things! ;)

• Start with the EZ Wonder Die #3 and use it with white cardstock. 
• Cut postage die cut into smaller postage stamps. 
• Set aside.

• Use the EZ Wonder Die #3 with white marker friendly cardstock.

• Using the die cut 'inside' pieces of the postage stamp die, stamp images onto them using black ink. (note: as you can see, I did several because I wasn't sure which ones I would use or not. I do that all the time. lol Feel free to only stamp the two I used on my card.)

• Color images using alcohol markers.
• Add highlights using a white gel pen.
• Set aside.

• Use the EZ Wonder Die #3 with patterned paper.
• Trim pieces from postage stamps to fit inside of the white cardstock postage stamps that were cut from above. (note: the smaller postage stamp you don't need to cut as in there's already a smaller square for it. Though, for the bigger postage stamp I had to cut on the dotted/perforated lines to fit inside of the postage stamp.)
• Adhere patterned paper pieces to the white postage stamps.

• Adhere the colored postage stamp images on top.
• Set aside.

• Use patterned paper and trim to fit slightly smaller than an A2 cardbase.
• Using a white cardbase, adhere cut patterned paper to it. 
• Cut a sentiment out from a card front.

• Layer postage stamps onto the card but don't adhere things yet. (You want an idea of where to put things first, before adhering things down.)
• Add sentiment to the card using foam tape on the back.

• Adhere postage stamps to the card using foam tape only on the back of the smaller stamp.
• Add burlap twine and sparkling enamel dots.

That's all for me. Don't forget to play along with the Not 2 Shabby Challenge...love to see you there!
