Happy Birthday to Me!


Good morning crafty friends!
Today is my day on the Rabbit Hole blog and  
it just so happens to be my 50th birthday as well!
I thought it would be fun to make a birthday card in my honor!
It's been a rough week for me so it's kind of appropriate that these 
guys aren't smiling.
Putting party hats on their heads just made 
me laugh since they don't look like they are in a party mood.
My 13 year old son is just getting over the flu and my dad has been in
the hospital since Mother's Day so the mood around here hasn't been
very happy. I'm ready to put it all behind me and 
get everyone healthy again!

All in all though I really like how the card came out, the rainbow
letters really stand out against the black and white background.
Here is a list of all the caffeinated critters used on my card:


Thanks for joining me today for my birthday, I hope you enjoyed
my card, these caffeinated critters really can be used for any 
type of card you want to make..... just change up your sentiment.

Have a great day, I already am!

I'm headed down The Rabbit Hole!๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ

Hello blog travelers!
If you've stopped by my blog today than I have some exciting news to share!
As some of you may or may not know, I've been guest designing for
a new stamp company this past month called
I have been enjoying myself so much using their 
fun and quirky stamp sets!
As luck would have it they have asked me to stay on as a 
full time designer and I happily jumped at the chance!

Along with welcoming me to their team, The Rabbit Hole has announced
 the winners for the recent blog hop today.
Head over and take a peek to see if you're a winner!

To celebrate joining the team
I thought I'd share a few of my favorite cards that I made
using some of the new stamps in The Rabbit Hole shop!
If you haven't checked this new company out
than what are you waiting for?
You won't be disappointed and WAIT til you see what they 
have in store in the next few months, don't be left out!

Here is a card using the brand new stamp set
This stamp set is perfect for all of you wedding card needs!


The next card uses the Caffeinated Cat stamp set and I made
a fun shaker card with that tired feline.
Click here to see the video I made showing how 
to put this card together.


The next card I have to share with you is also a shaker card that I made 
using the Caffeinated Crab stamp set. I thought it would be fun to add some
actual beach sand to the inside of this card.


The last 2 cards I want to share with you feature the Caffeinated Octopus
and Caffeinated Dino stamp sets.
I had so much fun making these interactive wiper cards!




Here is a picture of what they look like when they are opened up.

The Rabbit Hole Designs February Guest Designer


Hello and welcome back to my blog!
I am honored to be guest designing for The Rabbit Hole Designs 
for the month of February!
They are a brand new stamp company and they have some very
unique stamps that feature a line of over-caffeinated critters such as
a unicorn, a dinosaur, an octopus and the cat featured on my card today.
Make sure you check them out to see all of their fun stamp sets!

Ok, so if you have your morning cup of java or cocoa or whiskey
or (whatever gets you moving in the morning)... we'll get started!

The new stamps here at The Rabbit Hole are so much fun to create with!
For today's card I am featuring the Caffeinated Cat stamp.
I am LOVING that CRAZY hair and those adorable bunny slippers!



Shaker cards are one of my favorite types of card to make.
Here is the "How To" for my coffee loving feline card:

Card Recipe

  • My first step was to stamp the cat in Gina K Amalgam ink and color her with my Zig and Copic markers.
  • Next I cut out the stamped image with my Scan and Cut machine.  I love my machine but you could easily fussy cut this image out with scissors.
  • The next thing I did was to stamp the caffeine molecule and #momlife stamp randomly on to some polka dot patterned paper for the background. The patterned paper was cut using the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies.
  • For the top of the shaker I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame die and I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of it. I built the frame up with foam tape so my shaker guts would have room to move around.
  • Now for the fun part! I chose a variety of coffee colored sequins from Kat Scrappiness to fill my card with and I made sure to add a splash of teal to match the coffee cup. The sequin mix consisted of Espresso mix, Caramel Latte mix and Teal Jewels. I placed the sequin mix down on the patterned paper in the spots where I knew the windows were in the collage frame and then I adhered the frame over the sequins.
  • All that was left was to add my sentiment and cat to the front of the card.  I stamped the sentiment on to some brown card stock with white ink and embossed with WOW bright white embossing powder.  I cut the sentiment into 3 separate strips and popped them up on foam tape. Oh yeah...... kitty got popped up too!๐Ÿ˜‚

Here are some close up pictures to see the details better:


I also have a video for you so you can see how I created
this Caffeinated Cat shaker card.
Please excuse the extreme closeup view in the video,
I have a new camera and I'm still figuring things out.
You can watch the video here or on YouTube.




Thanks so much for joining me today!
I really enjoyed sharing my card and video with you.
