Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I have a few posts today, so be sure to check them all out!!

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!!

I started by quickly stamping the cute snowflake from the Just A Little Something stamp set multiple times on my paper with VersaMark Ink.  I then heat embossed with white embossing powder!!  I then quickly grabbed some Distress Oxides to add the fun colors!
I then added some water splatters and Goosebumps!  Before I added it to my card base, I added Glossy Accents around the entire edge and sprinkled glitter on it!  I let it dry and then added it to my base!  I love all the glitter!!

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!
