There is another amazing Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

Check out all the details here!!

There are 88 Super Sponsors!!

How amazing is that?!

Here is the card I created for the hop:

For the beautiful plaid paper, I used some of D2BA's awesome Holly & Plaid Paper!  I absolutely LOVE this sheet of paper!!

I stamped the mug from the Perfect Blend stamp set twice on white cardstock.  I fussy cut the complete mug and stamped one of the nature background on the mug from the Nature Backgrounds set with green ink!  I colored just the over on the other mug and fussy cut it.  I then glued it to the mug, I did this to give some dimension.  I then stamped the mug again on red cardstock and fussy cut the sleeve.  I then embossed the sleeve with a chevron embossing folder!  I love the added texture and fun it gives!!

I used the Nesting Rectangle Fancy Frames for two of the layers. One of which, I stamped the 'You warm my heart' sentiment, which is also part of the Perfect Blend stamp set!

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Have a beautiful day!

Let it Snow

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!

Click here to find the current challenge!

-----------------

The theme this time around is: 
A-Caroling We Will Go

The kids and I love singing 'Let It Snow'!  As we just love playing out in the snow!

So I found inspiration from that song to create this fun card:

I just had to use the fun Simply Circles stamp set again to create this fun background!!  I also used the Winter Unicorns Rock stamp set, for the cute snowflake stamps!!

After creating the background I used the Panel Shapes Die Set to die cut a few circles from the background to add some interest!  I used two of them to create shaker windows!

I used the Little Darling Winter stamp set for the 'Let it Snow' sentiment!

Super fun!!  I really like how this shaker turned out!!

We all will be showcasing some quick & EASY tags!

I absolutely LOVE the Cute Snowflake Gift Tag Die!!
 For these tags I decided to glue down the snowflakes, instead of letting them flap open.

I'm so excited to share my fun card with you!!  

I got to work with a fun Twist N Pop Card Kit from the Paper Cut!!

I've never made a fun fold like this, so I was excited!!

Here is a look at the front of the card:

I used a bunch of the lovely Fall Harvest paper for this card!

I used the Fall Leaves die set to die cut some leaves out of the pattern paper to add to the front of my card!  I then added the 'hello' die cut from the Hello Tag Die set!

I really like how the front turned out!!

Now check the the fun inside:

The inside is just as fun!!

I love the Twist N Pop Card Kit!  The insert sure will add surprise to the recipient!! 

I decided to stay with the leaf theme inside.  So on two of the insert spaces I put a die cut leave and on the other two I used the Fall Leaves die set to die cut a leaf to create a window opening to make a shaker leaf!! 

For my sentiment inside and the adorable fox, I used the fun Foxy Greetings stamp set!

What a fun fold!!  I can't wait to make another!!

Simple Thanks

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a simple card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

Since it is the month of giving thanks, I thought I would create and share this fun thanks card:

I placed a piece of floral pattern paper on my cardstock base.

I then die cut the Diagonal Striped Panel (10503) from white cardstock and adhered to a yellowish piece of cardstock.  I adhered the layer to my cardstock base using foam tape to give some dimension!

I finished up the card by adding the Thanks Line (10498) for my sentiment and added a few enamel dots!!

Simple, yet pretty!!

Be sure to check out all of Frantic Stamper's fun dies!!

Have a lovely day!
