Coffee Love Card

Hello and Welcome!

This card was a joy to create as it involves 2 things I love. One is coffee, and as I just got this new coffee cup die by Taylored Expressions, it just had to be used. Second is Poochie puppy by The Cat's Pajamas stamps (First Christmas set). He is so darn cute, I think I could use him on every card. The card is based on a sketch at Share the Joy.

The Cat's Pajamas Poochie stamp was colored with copic markers and fussy cut. The hearts are die-cut using Simon Says Stamp's Large Holiday Shapes and cut from DCWV red glitter paper. The sun is by My Favorite Things and the sentiment is from Freckled Fawn.

This card is entered in:

• Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Jan. 2016
  

•  The January Blog Hop and TCP Tuesday #308 at The Cat's Pajamas 

Hope you enjoyed this card. Now go make something you love!

Greetings Card

Hello and Welcome!

With Valentine's Day coming I wanted to create something fun for my kids.  Also, I recently purchased Papertrey Ink's "Scribble Star" stamp to go along with The Cat's Pajama's "Space Cadet" stamp set. So here is the result - a matchbox candy holder for my space loving son:

Here is a detail of it from the side showing the matchbox fold (and the candy inside!):

I stamped Papertrey's Scribble Star with Versamark and used Stampendous white embossing powder. Then I masked off TCP's Sprinkle's spaceship (love how Alma from TCP names her stamp critters - the cat is Sprinkles) and blended distress inks (Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violets and Salty Ocean) to create the background. Next I stamped Sprinkle's spaceship, heat embossed it, and colored it with Copic markers.  I stamped and heat embossed the "Greetings" sentiment, which is from The Cat's Pajamas' Wreath Building set.  I added Glossy Accents to the spaceship dome and lights, and added some orange polka dotted washi tape along the bottom for a finishing touch and to hide the staples that hold the candy.

For a video on how to create this treat holder, you can check out Make It Monday at Nichole Heady's Papertrey Ink blog (link below).

This card is entered in the following contests:

• TCP Tuesday #306 at The Cat's Pajamas

• Make It Monday #237 at Papertrey Ink 

• MarkerPop! Challenge #86: Critters

•  Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Two. I used the bottom row: masking-stars-critters

Thank You Roxie!!!

I am not very well versed in technology. And for a very long time I have wanted a blog for crafting, but I was too timid to venture out "there." But this weekend my very kind and good friend Roxie (of RoxiesStampingRoom.blogspot.com) set this one up for me. Can you believe it! So I dedicate this first post to her. THANK YOU ROXIE, I could not have done this without you. You are simply the BEST!!!
