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!

Caffeine Makes Me Sparkle!

Good morning and welcome to my blog!
I'm so excited to be sharing my first
 guest designer post for The Rabbit Hole Designs for the month of March!
 I want to share a fun and flirty Flamingo shaker card with you today!


For my card I used the newly released Caffeinated Flamingo stamp.
One of my favorite types of card to make is a shaker card.
The best part is picking out all of the shaker guts to 
match the theme of the card.
I thought the pink and green color palette would look great
with the Caffeinated Flamingo stamp so I picked out
Cracked Pistachio and Raspberry Distress Inks to get started.

The first step was to blend the two colors onto some smooth card stock,
pink at the top and green on the bottom.
I sprinkled some water droplets on the panel and dried them for
a more interesting look. 
Since I wanted the background to sparkle 
I heat embossed some stars in silver over the pink to 
really shine in the background.


The next step was to use some Kat Scrappiness Rectangle Zig Zag dies to cut out a frame.
I used the inside of the frame for the base of the card and I made 
a shaker window out of the leftover frame.
For the shaker guts I chose some Fuschia Jewels,
Lime Green Jewels and lots of Mirrored Clear Solid Stars
for extra sparkle and shine!
After I sprinkled the bits on the base of the card,
I glued my frame down over the mix.
For my sentiment I used the stamp
"Caffeine makes me sparkle" from the
Caffeinated Unicorn stamp set.
I stamped it onto a banner die cut from Paper Smooches with
Picked Raspberry ink and added some fun silver stars.

I watercolored my tired Flamingo with my Zig markers and 
made sure to add some of those silver stars to her 
 and her coffee cup!



I just love how this card came out and the bright
colors just make me happy, not to mention
the fun sound it makes when you shake it!

Thanks so much for joining me today!
Make sure you check out all of the 
new release stamps in The Rabbit Hole shop that are available now!

I have four cards to share with you today using these 
fabulous new stamp sets.

The first card features the Caffeinated Bee and 
he's buzzing in on his 
honeycomb embossed card to say hi. 




Bee Card Details
  • Stamp bee and color with your favorite markers or pencils then cut out with scissors or electronic cutting machine. 
  • Stencil honeycomb pattern on paper with yellow ink and cut a circle out from pattern using the second largest Double Stitched Circle dieInk edges with black ink. 
  • Cover lower half of card base with black and white polka dot patterned paper, cover top half of card with honeycomb embossed white paper. Cut decorative edge on embossed panel with the Stitched Scalloped Border dies
  • Pop embossed panel up on foam tape. 
  • Stamp #buzzed sentiment on yellow Stitched Flag Die and adhere with foam tape to lower right side of card base. 

For my second card I used the Caffeinated Crab and 
he's having his morning 
coffee on a fun shaker card. 




Crab Card Details
  • Stamp crab and color with your favorite markers or pencils then cut out by hand or electronic cutter. 
  • Next on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of smooth card stock, ink blend some Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers distress ink then sprinkle with droplets of water for underwater theme.  Stamp bubbles from the So-Fishticated stamp set randomly over panel. Adhere panel to card base. 
  • Die cut Stitched diagonal backdrop die from Kraft paper and adhere acetate to back of panel. Build up back of acetate with foam tape to allow shaker guts to move around freely. 
  • Mix up your favorite assortment of sequins and pour onto card base then place diagonal backdrop die over sequins.
  • Die cut Stitched Sentiment Strip in kraft paper and stamp sentiment in black ink. Cut strip from leftover background paper and mat sentiment strip on it.
  • Stamp #crabby on kraft paper, distress edges and hand cut to appear as a small sign, place on thin rectangle to act as sign post.
  • Pop crab up on foam tape over sign.



For my third card I used the Caffeinated Flamingo 
and she's surrounded
by a tropical jungle looking #flahmazing!




Flamingo Card Details
  • Start by die cutting the 2 largest Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies out while nested in one another to create a frame. Shade frame with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and spray with water droplets for a soft effect.  
  • Cut smooth white card stock panel to fit behind frame and use Broken China Distress Ink to blend over panel, spray with water droplets for a soft effect.
  • Take frame and background pieces and leaves and splatter with white paint randomly.
  • Cut smooth white card stock panel and ink blend Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks to cover panel then cut some random leaf dies out of panel, spray with water droplets for a soft effect as with frame and background panel.
  • Take frame, background panel and leaves and cover with white splattered paint.
  • Stamp sentiment on to Broken China background panel and adhere to card base.
  • Apply leaves randomly to frame before adhering over background panel.
  • Pop that tired flamingo up on some foam tape and bling up your card with some Clear Jewels for some sparkle and shine!


My last project features the Easter Bounty stamp set.
I used these stamps to make a shaker tag and a milk
carton treat box.


Easter Bounty Project Details


  • The first thing I did was to stamp the 2 bunnies and their coordinating accessories with Gina K Amalgam ink and I used my copic markers to color all of them.
  • For the tag I used a Pretty Pink Posh tag die to create a shaker tag.  I used 2 different Kat Scrappiness sequins inside the tag: Sun Kissed and Magical Unicorn mixes. 
  • The milk carton was made with the Lawn Fawn milk carton die and I cut the grass with a Lawn Fawn grass die as well.  I made a stencil with the Lawn Fawn cloud die so I could add some clouds to the carton with Broken China distress ink.
  • To finish off both projects I added coordinating bows to them and for the milk carton I used a mini clothespin to hold the bow in place.
