Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Take 2!

Hello again and Happy National Coffee Day!

I'm back to share a second card for the current Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!  I purposely decided to post my cards today in honor of National Coffee Day...best day ever!

For my card, I used the quirky and fun "Sketchy Coffee Cups" by Shery Russ Designs - STAMPlorations. I paired this paper-pieced coffee cup with a sentiment that I thought fit perfectly from the "Fond Expressions 2" set.  (Yes, coffee is my kind wonderful.)

Supplies:
Stamps:  STAMPlorations "Sketchy Coffee Cups," "Fond Expressions 2," "Paper Smooches "Shadows," My Favorite Things "Burlap" 
Dies: Mama Elephant Index Card Creative Cuts
Inks: Black die ink; Hero Arts "Soft Wheat;" Antique Linen distress ink; Copic markers
Other: Crate Paper "Farmhouse" papers; Glossy Accents

I'm also linking this card up to the STAMPlorations Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge since I used all STAMPlorations stamps.

That's it for me today...thank you so much for stopping by and Happy National Coffee Day!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Happy National Coffee Day!

I'm so happy to be here today to share a card for the current Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!  I purposely decided to post today (even though the blog hop has been going on for several days now) especially in honor of National Coffee Day. I don't know about you, but in my book EVERY day is coffee day!

For my card, I used the quirky and fun "Sketchy Coffee Cups" by Shery Russ Designs - STAMPlorations. I paired these fun stacked coffee cups with a sentiment that I thought fit perfectly from the "Fond Expressions 2" set.

I paper-pieced each cup using fall-colored patterned papers from the Crate Paper "Farmhouse" 6x6 paper pad.  Glossy Accents on the coffee and Wink of Stella on the mugs help add to the design!

Supplies:
Stamps:  STAMPlorations "Sketchy Coffee Cups," "Fond Expressions 2," "Paper Smooches "Shadows," Impression Obsession "Gingham" 
Dies: Mama Elephant Index Card Creative Cuts
Inks: Black die ink; Hero Arts "Wet Cement;" Antique Linen distress ink; Copic markers
Other: Crate Paper "Farmhouse" papers; Glossy Accents; Wink of Stella

I'm also linking this card up to the STAMPlorations Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge since I used all STAMPlorations stamps.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...I do appreciate your visits!
Happy National Coffee Day!

CASology #217 - CUTE

Hello, friends! I'm here today with a few cards I made for the current CASology challenge...I think it's going to be a popular one this week!

This week we have a new sponsor at CASology...thank you, Kitty Bee Designs, for sponsoring our challenge this week!  For my cards today I played with one of their digi images. 

Check out this adorable panda!  How CUTE is this fella?  With one paw up, I figure he can be holding something or waving.  That's why I made two cards with him...one of each!

Here he is holding a birthday balloon.  The popped-up balloon and twine are the only embellishments on this card, helping to maintain its clean and simple style.

Supplies:

Kitty Bee Designs panda digi image

Hero Arts "All Occasion Messages"

Simon Says Stamp stitched circle die

Tumbled Glass distress ink

Copic markers, white gel pen

Martha Stewart balloon punch

patterned paper, twine, pop dot

I'm going to enter this birthday card into the current challenge at Kitty Bee Designs: Aloha Friday Challenge #81 - Birthday.

For my next card, I printed the panda image a little smaller and added a sentiment below so he is waving hello!

Supplies:

Kitty Bee Designs panda digi image

Hero Arts "Stamp Your Own Fruit" and "Large Canvas Stripes"

Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangle die

Antique Linen distress ink

Copic markers, white gel pen

I can't wait to see your CUTE creations! Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time). I hope you will visit the Design Team and Guest Designer blogs, too...their cards are so CUTE!

CASology #216: FRAME

Hello, friends!  Happy Tuesday!  I'm here today with my card for the next CASology cue...check it out!

I received this stamp set in a surprise, out-of-the-blue card from the very sweet and generous Shery Russ, the founder of STAMPlorations and our sponsor this week. Her designs are fabulous, and based on her very thoughtful gift I know she is not only talented but also sweet, kind and generous!  Shery's blog is called That One Layer Mixed Media Girl and her designs are available at her STAMPlorations store (here).

As soon as I saw the stamp set she sent me, I knew that I would use it for this cue card. These beautiful blooms are perfectly framed!  After stamping, I added some pink to the petals and yellow and gold Stickles to the centers.  I popped up the die cut panel using foam tape.

Supplies Used:

STAMPlorations Blossoming - Shery Russ Designs

Copic markers

Gold Stickles

Black and white washi tape

Mama Elephant "Index Card Creative Cuts" die

Foam tape

I'm also linking this card up to the current STAMPlorations September CAS Card Challenge (I used the pink optional color twist on my flower petals) as well as the never-ending Anything Goes challenge.

    

Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #18

Hello, everyone!  I'm here today with my card for the newest Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #18 using this fun inspiration board:

For my project today, I chose to work with the middle row across:  Friendship/Blues and Greens/Ink Blending.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet friendship scene!  After stamping the bunnies, I masked them and added my blue and green distress inks for soft, subtle sky and grass.

I also added some Wink of Stella to the bunnies to give them a little sparkle and pizazz...can you see it?

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Mama Elephant (Honey Bunny)
Inks: Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass)
Dies: WPlus9 (Sunshine Layers), Martha Stewart (Three Butterflies)
Other: Wink of Stella

I am really looking forward to your take on the inspiration board for Challenge #18.  I hope you get a chance to play along!

Thank you for stopping by today!
