I have 2 cards to share with you today using several stamps and dies from Trinity Stamps.

The first card uses the adorable bunny from the Dir-Tea Bunny stamp set and the



Aren't those bunnies just the cutest!!
I made a slimline card using the pretty little Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge die from Kat Scrappiness.
The sentiment is from an older digital download from Trinity Stamps from a previous Bubble Tea Day hop. The adorable little bubble tea cups in the bunny's hands are from the The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot stamp set and coordinating die set.





For my second card today I used the same little cup from the first card from The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot stamp set and The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot coordinating die set in a repeated rainbow pattern.



I placed the adorable little cups and a sentiment from A Latte Love stamp set on a pretty little tag that I cut out of a piece of burlap material. The tag was propped up on an embossed panel and matted on to a kraft colored card base.



I hope you enjoyed my cards for today.
The next stop in the hop is my Coffee Loving teamie Lisa Bzibziak!

Hello Anya!

 


Hello and welcome back to my blog! It's my day again up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have another caffeinated creation to share with you!

Today's card has a short story behind it. During the recent Coffee Lover's Hop I spied an adorable card that I fell in love with by a fellow card maker named Suzanne. She posted her card on Instagram and the minute I saw it I knew I had to have the adorable stamp that she used. 
Here is a link to Suzanne's sweet card.

Not only did I fall in love with Suzanne's card but I ordered the stamp and picked her card as my designer pick at the end of the hop! The adorable stamp is called Coffee Cup Anya and it is from the Greeting Farm. It's an older stamp but I was lucky enough to find it at Simon Says Stamp.
Here is my card with sweet Anya popping out of her coffee cup!



This was a pretty easy card to put together. I stamped and colored Anya with Copic markers and used the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness to cut out a few different size panels to matt her and my patterned paper onto. The pretty plaid paper is from the Doodlebug Made With Love patterned paper pack.
I finished off my card with some pretty Glacier Sequins by Lucy.




I love being inspired by other card makers. It's always fun to find a new stamp to play with and this little coffee girl was a nice addition to my collection!

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure to spend some time browsing your favorite crafty friends social media to get some inspiration and leave some love!

Have a great day, I already am!

Say Cheese!

Hello crafty friends, today I am up on the  Kat Scrappiness blog with another adorable quokka card for you! I used the selfie loving quokka stamp from the Quokka'n Up stamp set to make this mini slimline card.



I just love how this little guy is taking a selfie with his selfie stick! I placed him in the polaroid frame stamp from the Quokka'n Up stamp set and the "Say Cheese" sentiment is from that set as well.
I am loving the size of the mini slimline cards and  Kat Scrappiness has a great assortment of mini slimline dies. There are some new styles coming to the shop in mid April so make sure you join the Kat Scrappiness Insiders group on Facebook to stay alerted to new product releases, sales and coupons!
Fort this card I used the Mini Slimline Wonky Stitched Dies and I layered a fun piece of patterned paper on top of it to match my polaroid frame.


I also added an extra sentiment to the bottom of the card from the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set. I thought it went well with the Say Cheese sentiment.
To add a little more interest to my card I added some fun confetti sprinkles in 3 different colors to match my patterned paper.

Lime Green Confetti Sprinkles

Bright Yellow Confetti Sprinkles

Light Blue Confetti Sprinkles

I love to pour out my sprinkles into Kat's Triangle Embellishment (Sorting) Trays to make them easy to pick up and apply to my cards. There is also an awesome Embellishment Organizer that can hold up to 64 different embellishments. It's a great way to organize your sequins, confetti and sprinkles all in one place and to see them at a glance!

Here's a look at all of the supplies I used on my card today.


Thanks so much for joining me today, make sure to check out  Kat Scrappiness for all of your crafty needs. There's quokka's and mini slimline dies and TONS of embellishments to choose from!

Have a great day, I already am!

Hooray for the Graduate!

Hello crafty friends! It is April and that means graduation season is upon us! 
My daughter Brooke is graduating this month with her Bachelors in Social Work and I couldn't be more proud!


I am up on the  Kat Scrappiness  blog today and I have a very bright and colorful card to share with you. What better way to celebrate a graduate than with a gorgeous rainbow to show them how bright their future will be?

 Kat Scrappiness has a fun rainbow die called After the Rain  and it cuts out 7 individual arcs for your rainbow. I chose to only use 6 arcs for my rainbow in the interest of space but you could add one more arc and use any color palette you like.  I made a similar card previously with a pastel color scheme and it came out lovely!




To start off with I took a sheet of white card stock and cut out a panel using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and I stenciled on a beautiful cloud background for my rainbow. Once I was happy with how the clouds looked I began adding in my rainbow one arc at a time.





I wanted to add a couple of stitched clouds to my card so I used the Stitched Puffy Clouds and die cut 3 of the 4 different sizes to add around my card. I made sure to hang one cloud off the side of my card for a more organic look.




For the sentiment on my card I knew I wanted a big bold die cut in black and white so the Hooray with Shadow Die was the perfect addition. This die comes with 2 layers so you can cut out a shadow for your word and it was just what this card called for. I added a smaller sub-sentiment to make this a graduation card in black and white as well.




The only thing left to do was add some sparkle and shine so I reached for the 
Tear Shaped Water Droplets to decorate this pretty rainbow with. 





I also used the Embellishment Pick Up Tool and the Embellishment Sorting Tray to help me apply all of the clear droplets. These 2 tools make for such easy placement of embellishments and the embellishment tray is triangular which makes clean up a breeze. All those tiny droplets just fall back into the bag with ease because of the shape of the tray.


Here's one final peak at my card for today with all of the supplies used. I hope you'll check out all of the fun products in the  Kat Scrappiness store and make a rainbow card for that special someone who could use a happy colorful rainbow!
