Warm Fuzzies

 

Hello again Coffee Lovers! It's my day on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog again and today I have an adorable little teddy bear to share with you! He's peeking out from behind his coffee cup sending warm fuzzies!

I don't know about you but sometimes I just want to make a quick and easy card and I just love digital stamps for that very reason! Kadoodle Bug Designs has some of the most adorable clipart you could want. This adorable bear is available in the I need coffee first bundle and it also comes with a few other cute images. I also dressed my card up with some brand new pearls from Kat Scrappiness. Those blue pearls are from the Carolina Blue Pearl Mix and they have the prettiest pearlescent shine!

I also used the Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness to cut out my image after I printed it.

For the sentiment on my card I used the stamp set Warm Fuzzies from Gerda Steiner.

Here is one more pic showing all the supplies used on my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Eggsploding Sweetness

KaDoodle Bug does it again! 

I am just in love with this adorable chickie dressed as a 

bunny with some yummy chocolate goodies for Easter!

This CUTE chickie is part of a file called 

Eggsploding Sweetness on the KaDoodle Bug Designs website.

There are 2 other images included with the file that are just as cute!

Here's how I made this card:

* First I printed out that cute chickie and cut him out with an 

Oval Zig Zag Die from Kat Scrappiness.

* The next step was to build my card base. I adhered a piece

of yellow gingham paper from Papertrey Ink directly to the card base.

I then cut a piece of yellow card stock down to 3 3/4" x 5" and ran

it through a polkadot embossing folder and adhered it to the gingham panel.

* I took the oval panel with my chickie and popped it up on foam tape

and stuck it to the center of the card. I added some sequins from 2

Kat Scrappiness sequin mixes, Chicken or the Egg and Easter Egg Parade.

* For the sentiment I used a Happy Easter stamp from a set called 

Easter Bounty from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

 To mat the sentiment I used a technique that I love.

I turned the stamp on to it's back side and stamped 

the solid image in brown ink. I ran it through my 

scan n cut and increased the outline twice.

I replaced the stamped image with brown paper 

and let the machine cut out a perfect mat for my sentiment.

* Lastly I tied a bow in pink twine around the top of the card

to bring out the pink in the bunny ears.

I am in love with how this card turned out! The yellow is so soft

and the image is just darling! Here is a picture with all the supplies used.

KaDoodle Bug Dragon Cards

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and when it comes to 

card making, this is my FAVORITE holiday!

I am a sucker for anything that is pink and involves a good dose

of sparkle, hearts and glitter!

One of the companies that I design cards for is 

KaDoodle Bug Designs

and recently they added the cutest files to their shop!

It is a collection of 10 of the cutest Valentine themed dragons and 

one is cuter than the next!  

You can view all of them in the shop right now here.

I have had the delightful opportunity to design a couple of cards 

with them and I used these 2 files:

Heart Balloons Dragon

and

Love Letters Dragon

The first card I made is with the Heart Balloons Dragon and here it is:

I am smitten with this card and I just love how it came out.

I started with white card stock and I die cut a panel with 

one of my favorite dies from Kat Scrappiness called the

Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies.  I used the largest die from the pack

because it's the perfect size to fill the front panel of an A2 sized card.

The next step was to die cut some card stock with the cloud die

from Lawn Fawn to make a template that I could use to sponge 

some clouds on to my card front.

I used Broken China distress ink and proceeded to sponge it around

the cloud template to form clouds all the way down the panel.

I love the soft look you can get with varying amounts of 

pressure applied to the ink tool.

Once I got the clouds the way I wanted I stamped the sentiment from 

an Avery Elle stamp set called Handwritten notes and 

I added a cute little heart from the Kat Scrappiness stamp 

set called Let's Get Caffeinated.

To finish the card off I used some Pretty Pink Jewels

from Kat Scrappiness. 

Once all that was complete I added the cute little Dragon from KaDoodle Bug

on some foam tape and the card was done.

Here is a picture with the supplies used.

The second card I made uses the Love Letters Dragon file.

It is a shaker card and it is one of my favorite type of cards to make!

For this card I started with the Kat Scrappiness 

Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame die.

It's the perfect die for making shaker cards because it has windows for 

shaker bits and you can easily add foam tape to the back of it.

I put some Magical Unicorn Dust sequins and Fuschia Jewels inside the 

window and I used vellum instead of acetate for a softer look.

The back panel on the card is some adorable Doodlebug paper 

with a Valentines theme.

To decorate the front of the card along with the cute dragon 

I die cut the words from the I Love You Shadow dies from 

Kat Scrappiness out of pink glitter paper.

Here is a close up of the card so you can see the details.

These 2 cards were so much fun to make and I hope you'll check out

all of the cute files at KaDoodle Bug and the awesome dies and sequins

at Kat Scrappiness! They have any and all craft supplies you could want!

Foxy KaDoodle Bug Cards

Good morning crafty friends!

For the past 2 weeks the KaDoodle Bug design team has been sharing

Winter Birthday cards in their Facebook group.

I have 2 adorable cards I wanted to share with you using some of the adorable

fox images in the shop.

The first card features 2 foxes from the Playful Foxes file.

I just love those sweet little foxes and I was inspired by the recent 

My Favorite Things release and their adorable foxes!

I made a birthday card using 2 of the sweet images from the file.

The scalloped rectangle panels are from Neat and Tangled and I used

pink polka dot paper from Papertrey Ink for the larger panel.

 The sentiment is from a My Creative Time stamp set called Sweet Wishes.

The hearts are from one of my Recollections punches 

and for the arrows I used a die set from Little B called Party.

I am totally smitten with this card and I LOVE how it turned out!

I can't wait to give it to a sweet someone for their birthday!

For my second birthday card I used the adorable fox image from 

the Woodland Foxes file.

I started by cutting a panel of watercolor paper from the Fancy Frame Dies

by Craftin Desert Divas. I used Peacock Feathers distress ink to give the 

center of the panel a wash of color for my background.

The beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment is from a Close To My Heart

stamp set called Joyful Birthday Occasions and the 

foxy letters are from the Lawn Fawn Quinn ABC's dies.

I just love how that cute little fox looks with his sweet little party hat!

I am thankful that the theme was Birthday because I never seem

to have enough birthday cards on hand!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my fun foxy cards!

Check out the KaDoodle Bug shop for lots more adorable SVG and Print and Cut

files!  There are some really cute new dragon files available that I will be using soon!

Have a great day, I already am!

Cold Twigs ~ Warm Heart

I'm excited to share a project with you today that I made for the Kadoodle Bug

Design Team. I created a shaker tag with the Cold Twigs Snowman and 

I am so happy with the way it turned out!

If you have seen any of my projects on Instagram or Facebook over the last 2 days

you'd see that I've gone snowman crazy! I just can't stop creating projects with

these fun Snowmen! A friend of my mom asked me to create some tags and

a card for her with a snowman on it and I just kept going from there.

For today's project I cut out the Cold Twigs Snowman SVG out with my 

Scan n Cut and inked all the pieces before putting him together.  

I then pulled out my Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag Dies from Kat Scrappiness.

I used the largest tag to cut out 2 pieces using matching patterned paper from the 

Lawn Fawn Into the Woods paper pack. Next I took a square die from the 

Stitched Scalloped Square Dies and cut a window out of one of the tags.

I backed the window with acetate and framed it off with foam tape.

Next came the fun part, picking out shaker bits!

I used 2 different sequin/sprinkle mixes for my tag.

Falling Snow Sprinkles Embellishment Mix 

and

Christmas Sequin Village Mix

They really complimented each other and picked up the red and blue in the snowman!

All that was left to do was finish off the tag with some ribbon at the top.

I used some gorgeous Oatmeal Seam Binding from Paper Sweeties and tied 

some red and white twine around it.

For the sentiment I printed it off of my computer on white paper and 

inked the edges for some dimension.

This project was a lot of fun to make, thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Meowloween

Happy Tuesday everyone! If this is your first visit to my blog Welcome, 

if it's not than Welcome Back!

Today I have some Meowloween fun for you with this adorable 

Cat Bat from Kadoodle Bug Designs!

The file is called PG Spooky Halloween Kitties.

I just couldn't resist those cute wings and her little horns!

I wanted a glittery background for her so I used black acrylic paint on a star patterned stencil and while it was still wet I sprinkled it with Tim Holtz Distress Stickles dry glitter.  

It's hard to see in the picture but the stars are twinkling!  

I also added wet Stickles to the cat's wings and horns.

I added some patterned paper from Papertrey Ink from an old Halloween themed paper pad and I cut it out using the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge Rectangle dies. 

I just love the edge that die gives to all Halloween cards and 

here's a great little tip.... it also makes a great pirate map! 

☠️Ahoy maties☠️

Finally for the sentiment I cut it out using my Scan n Cut.  

I love how I can customize any sentiment I want in a few easy steps in any size and color.

And Meowloween is a real word.........right???

Well for today it is!

Thanks for stopping by today and please come visit again,  I do love the company!

Leave me a quick note to let me know you were here.  

I'd love to visit your blog as well if you have one!  Inspiration is everywhere!

Have a great day, I already am!

Adorable Apple Gift Bag

Welcome back to my blog! 

Today I have another adorable Design Team project  to share with you from 

KaDoodle Bug Designs.

These days our teachers have so much to deal with besides reading, writing and math, we need to give them all the appreciation they so richly deserve!

One way is to give them little gifts throughout the year and this 

ADORABLE gift bag is a cute way to dress up a little treat! 

This cutie patootie apple is called 

School Apple Cutie and the file to make it

can be found in the KaDoodle Bug Designs shop here.

I made the tag with a Papertrey Ink tag die and two sentiment dies and 

the large scalloped circle was cut out of notebook paper with the largest Stitched Scalloped Circle die from Kat Scrappiness.

Thanks again for joining me today!

Enjoy your day, I already am!

Frap Bear and PSL's

Hello again, are you ready for some more Fall themed projects?  

I'm up again today on the KaDoodle Bug Facebook page with 

another adorable design team project!  

This just might be the first Fall season ever that I finally try a Pumpkin Spice Latte! 

It might be due to this adorable Frap Bear I found over in the KBD shop! 

Oh she is so stinkin' cute I can't even stand it! 

Since one project was not enough I created 3! 

I made the card pictured above using some patterned paper from Papertrey Ink and the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness.
I stamped the sentiment onto a Stitched Flag Die also from Kat Scrappiness and layered it onto 2 more in orange and black.

The second project is a tag using the print and cut file from the 

Frap Bear image in the KaDoodleBug shop.  

I die cut a tag out of burlap and added some fun twine and ribbon to the top.

I glittered up the pumpkin and leaves with some sparkly 

Stickles just like in the card above.

 The 3rd and final project was a dashboard I created for my daughter's planner!

She usually wants one of every cute thing I create!  It sure makes for one cute planner!

I sized the Frap Bear down a bit from it's original size to fit on this dashboard.

The background grid stamp is from Papertrey Ink and the "Oh Frap" sentiment 

I cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut and 

added some highlights with my white Gelly Roll pen.

I have been loving these pens in the #10 size.  

They are so bright and white and they go on smoothly on dark paper!

Well that's all the Pumpkin Spice Latte goodness I have for you today! 

I might have to get over to Starbucks, or Dunkin Donuts and finally try one of these 

Pumpkin Spice Lattes after all! 

Enjoy your day and get in some crafty time today with your PSL's!

I'm headed back to the craft table to enjoy mine!

Witchy Bears Trio

These 3 cuties just flew into town and they brought treats!!!

They must know me very well!

🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

I just fell in love with these Witchy Bears the minute I saw them!

You can find them in the KaDoodle Bug Designs online shop and 

so many other adorable SVG files at great prices!

I have been enjoying creating with these SVG files!  

They are so easy to download and send over to my Scan N Cut machine.  

I separate the colors on the screen and then tape the coordinating colors of paper

down to my mat and the machine does the rest! 

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

I added some fun gold glitter paper to my Witchy Bears brooms 

today and I thought they would look adorable attached to some treat bags 

with tiny clothes pins. 

Here are some individual pics of the trio!

Wouldn't these be adorable treats to pass out at a kids Halloween party!

Well that's my design team project for today!

Make sure to check out the fun projects from all the DT members in
