Autumn Blessings card

Hello and Welcome!

Happy first day of Fall! To celebrate, I created this cute owl card.

I used Pink & Main's Happy Fall stamp set to make the owl, which was colored with Zig Clean Color markers, had Glossy Accents added to his eyes and fussy cut. I also fussy cut around his wings and slipped in a coffee cup. All of the pattern paper is from Pink & Main's Shades Of Spring collection.

The background is Simon Says Stamps' Birch Tree Window die cut popped up with 3L's Foam Square and shiny, with coffee colored sequins added. The sentiment is Verve's Coffee Helps stamp set. The ribbon and tag are highlighted with gold foil.

Let's Meet Coffee Card

Hello and Welcome!

My friend, Sue, and I meet often for coffee, so I thought this would be a fun card to send her.

This card was created using 2 different flower sets by Papertrey Ink - Flower Fusion (flowers) and Delightful Dahlias (leaves) - colored with Zig Clean Color markers. The coffee cup and sentiment are from Papertrey's Heart 2 Heart stamp set.

I added shine with Nuvo Jewel Drops. The stamped panel was cut with Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Rectangle die and "popped up" with 3L foam squares.

Coffee & Warm Hugs

Hello and Welcome!

I am so excited to be joining the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop and using my new Altenew products!

To create the beautiful layered rose, I used Altenew's Fantasy Floral die cut from their Reflections Scrapbooking pattern paper. To add more contrast and depth, pink ink was blended on the die cuts. The sentiment was created from Altenew's Inline Alpha Die and Heartfelt Setiments stamp sets.

All Smiles with Quick Quotes and Coffee Lovers!

Hello and Welcome!

I am up on the Quick Quotes blog today which is participating in the fabulous Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. Have you seen all the fun, fall, coffee themed projects 

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year as Mother Nature brings in such beautiful colors and the weather is wonderful. I used Quick Quotes' Whistlin' Dixie collection along with our coffee colored PowderPuff Chalking inks to create this card:

• The background was created using Whistlin' Dixie 107 (yellow) with Sunset and Mocha Mama PowderPuff inks and a stencil.

 

• The Cat's Pajama's leaves die cuts were cut from Whistin' Dixie 100 and edged with Seafoam and Mocha Mama PowderPuff inks. Check out the big difference the inks make!

• The Paper Smooches Cozy Coffee cup was die cut from Windsong 103 and edged with Latte PowderPuff ink. The "lid" was ink blended with Mocha Mama PowderPuff ink.

• The "Delight In The Day" sentiment is from Whistlin' Dixie 500 cut apart quotes sheet. As it was bright white, I toned it down rubbing Latte PowderPuff ink on it. The "All Smiles" chipboard is from the Earth Wind Fire collection.

 

• To finish off this card, twine and yellow jewel drops were added.

Lunch & Go Layout

Hello and Welcome!

I admit it, I've gotten addicted to Pokemon Go. What can I say, it makes me happy and I'm getting outside a lot more. Plus, as my husband is a bit addicted too, we now have "GO" lunches together about once a week. Here is a layout about our picnics in the parks:

When I saw the great spotted paper by Photo Play, I thought it would make a great Pokemon page. So I turned the spots into Pokeballs. I also used Simple Stories pattern papers.

For the embellishment clusters I used several dies by Poppy Stamps including Stitched Bloom Trio, Elsa Butterfly and Small Leafy Sprig. This page is based on a sketch at Stuck?! sketches.

This layout is entered in:
