A Cup of Patience

Well is Christmas Eve 2019 and here we are Coffee Lovers!
I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today with a cup of patience.

Let me explain why this is actually a cup of patience...

Many of you are scurrying around and getting ready to have

company over or preparing yourselves to head out to family and friends.

Either way Christmas is a holiday filled with lots and lots and lots of people!!!

You know what that means......... some you love and some...... not so much......

Some of you will need extra patience today to deal with all the
personalities you will encounter today so this card is for you!

This card just looks like just another holiday coffee card but when you pull
out the tag from inside it reveals a super funny sentiment
perfect for those of you who need just a little chuckle today...

I laughed so hard when I saw this sentiment from the Hot Coffee stamp set
from CAS-ual Fridays and I knew that it would
be the perfect stamp to use for this sometimes stressful season.

I started off with the new Coffee Gift Card Holder Die from My Creative Time
and instead of inserting a gift card I decided to add my sentiment on a tag
that you could pull out. I decorated the cup with some fun holiday
Doodlebug Christmas Town patterned paper to match the poinsettia flowers.
I just love these beautiful Layering Poinsettia dies from Hero Arts. I used some Festive Berries
Distress Oxide Ink for the flowers and Mowed Lawn for the leaves.
I die cut the center of the leaves out in gold foil cardstock.

Here is a closeup of the beautiful flowers:

Thank you so much for joining me on the morning of Christmas Eve 2019
for a little cup of patience. I hope this card and post put a smile on your face
and gives you a little boost of patience to face those friends and family
that require just a little more patience!
Happy Holidays and enjoy your day,
I already am!

Paper Sweeties June 2019 New Release Rewind!

Today is Release Rewind over on the Paper Sweeties blog and
this month they are releasing 2 new stamp sets and 1 new die set.

The first one is called Mermaid Wishes and the second one is called

Sea You Soon with matching dies called Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts.

They are available for purchase in the Paper Sweeties shop!

Mermaid Wishes

Sea You Soon

Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts

For today's card I decided to do a little highlight coloring.

I started with a kraft colored card base and layered some colorful Doodlebug

patterned paper on it. The next layer is white card stock and I did some repeat

stamping in black ink with the adorable fish from the Sea You Soon stamp set.

I made sure to stamp some of the fish off the page for a more random and organic

look. I colored one of the fish in rainbow colors and popped him up over one of

the black and white stamped images. The rainbow fish really pops against all

of the black and white. I stamped a sentiment on kraft card stock and added a cluster

of balloons from the Hugs and Kisses stamp set and cut them out with the matching die.

I really love how this card came out! Sometimes the simplest techniques have the biggest impact.

I hope you've enjoyed the new release over at Paper Sweeties this month,

I know the DT worked hard to bring you some adorable inspiration using the

new products so make sure to visit each of them to see their projects!

Easter Shaker Notecards

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog!
I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have a fun trio of shaker notecards

to share with you using the newly released Easter edition of the

Crafter's Essentials dies. This is a fun set that features several different dies

perfect for Easter and Spring themed cards!

Here is a picture of all the dies that come with this set:

I used the bunny, chick and cracked egg to make 3 adorable shaker notecards.

The Easter themed sequin mixes and Doodlebug patterned paper

were the perfect accessories for these cards!

The first card was made using the bunny die from the set.

I cut a card base out of card stock measuring 4" x 8 " and scored it at 4".

I used a piece of patterned paper from the Hoppy Easter paper pack

cut to 4" x 4" to cover the card base.

I then took a piece of white card stock and cut out a panel

with the second largest Square Zig Zag die.

I placed the bunny die in the center of that Zig Zag square

and ran it through my Vagabond.

That left the negative shape of the bunny in the panel which I then

backed with acetate to form my shaker window.

To make the foam tape curve around the back of the bunny

I snipped small lines half way into the tape so that it would bend

easily and not warp the paper.

For the bunny shaker I used 3 different sequin mixes:

Pink 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

Yellow 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

3 mm Mirrored Clear Hollow Stars

It's so much fun to see the mix of sequins and confetti shaking around.

For the sentiment I stamped on a Stitched Flag Die and used the same

patterned paper to back it with a larger Flag die.

I also decorated the flag with a few stars from the shaker mix.

Next up is the chick card. The basic assembly of the card is just

like the bunny card except I used different patterned paper and sequins.

The patterned paper is also from the Doodlebug Hoppy Easter paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Chicken or the Egg?

I just love the little yellow chick that's included in this mix!

I tucked one of them behind the sentiment flag.

The last card I have to share with you is the cracked egg card.

Again the basic assembly is as explained in the bunny card above.

The patterned paper for this card is from the Doodlebug Simply Spring paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Easter Egg Parade!

The tiny die cut Easter eggs in this mix are just too cute!

These cards were so much fun to make! You can really get creative with the

patterned papers and different sequin mixes, there's so many fun combinations!

Paper Sweeties March 2019 Release Rewind

Welcome to the Release Rewind for Paper Sweeties!

I hope you've enjoyed all of the inspiration these past few days

from the talented design team!

We've been sharing our projects using the brand new

Get Well stamp set with matching Sweet Cuts dies.

Today I have a bright and colorful shaker card for you!

I filled my shaker window with several of the tissue boxes

from the new stamp set and lots of fun sequins.

I stamped, colored and cut out the tissue boxes in

rainbow colors so that I could use them inside

my shaker window.

The Cupcake Sprinkles sequins were the perfect addition

to this bright and colorful get well card!

The shaker window is made from the largest circle from

the Sweet Cuts Scallop Circle Frame dies.

Although the Get Well die cut words are hard to see in the

picture since they are light in color, they really

sparkle in person and look great on the Doodlebug patterned paper!

The paper pad is called Hoppy Easter and is filled with fun

colorful paper perfect for a get well card!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Make sure you visit all of the other New Release Team members blogs to

see what they have created for their release rewind projects!

Paper Sweeties February 2019 New Release Party!

Good morning and welcome to the New Release Party for Paper Sweeties!

This month the design team is sharing projects with you

using the new stamp set called:

Planner Series: All Occasions with matching

Planner Series: All Occasions Sweet Cuts.

Today I made two tags using the heart and gift images

from the new set.

I used the same technique with these stamps that I used yesterday

on my card. I took the stamp and put it on to my stamp block

backwards so that I could stamp the shape of the stamp

without the detail. I then turned the stamp over and stamped the

detail in a darker ink. I love this technique because you get the perfect

shaped mat for your image.

I used the For You stamp set with matching die for my tags and

attached the tags to some Doodlebug patterned paper for some extra fun color.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, don't forget to check back tomorrow for

the Release Rewind party and to check out more inspiration from the team!
