Caffeinated Personality

Good morning and welcome back to Lisa's ICU! The ICU is where I post my monthly Coffee Loving Cardmaker's projects and where I infuse caffeine in your veins via IV!

Just kidding but the image in my head is SOOOOO FUNNY!!

Anyway on to my card.  Today's card makes good use of some GORGEOUS patterned paper from Gracielle Designs. The patterned paper on my card is from a digital download and was made into a physical paper pack.  It is called Coffee Lovers Digital Pack and has 13 high quality 12"x12" printable patterned papers. I ordered the physical paper pack when it was available at Unity Stamps but it is no longer available.  Of course being the paper hoarder that I am, I had to order 2 packs.  I am seriously in LOVE with ALL the patterns in the pack.  I thought it would be fun to make the paper the main focus of my card since it is so full of color and personality!

For the large letter "C" on the front of the card I used the Mega Alphabet C die from Altenew. I grabbed up the whole alphabet during the holidays when they were on sale.  I love the large size of these letters and I wanted it to pop up off the card so I cut it out of the patterned paper and popped it up on foam and set it back in the negative space.  

This picture shows off the dimension in the letter C backed by foam.

To finish off my card I used one of the snarky coffee sentiments from The Rabbit Hole Designs stamp set called Perfectly Blended. I just love how the words pop when you heat emboss them in white on dark paper.

When you have such gorgeous patterned paper to start with, the rest of the card just falls into place!

Thanks for stopping by today for your caffeine fix!

Have a caffeinated day, I already am!

You Mocha Life Sweet!

Good morning crafty peeps!

Today on the blog I am sharing a new card using the new release from 

The Rabbit Hole Designs. I made a card using the brand new Caffeinated Butterfly!

I am in love with this image, there is so many fun parts to color in her wings!

Let's get right to the card, here is the recipe:

1) I started with a white piece of card stock and I used the blending brushes

from Taylored Expressions in Blueberry and Jelly Donut over the 

Puzzle Box stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

2) Next I took the largest  Layering Nested Heart die from Kat Scrappiness

and cut a panel from the blended stencil pattern. I also cut a piece of black 

card stock from the Stitched Scalloped Heart Die to back the stenciled heart and really

make it pop!

3) I stamped the Caffeinated Butterfly with Gina K Amalagm ink so I could use

my Copic markers to color the butterfly in blues and purples to match the stenciled heart.

4) I used my Scan n Cut to cut out a black matte to put behind the butterfly so she would

really stand out on the white background.

5) For the sentiment I used the Perfectly Blended stamp set from  The Rabbit Hole Designs 

and stamped it using Versamark Ink and sprinkled Alabaster White embossing powder from

Brutus Monroe and melted the powder with my heat gun. I cut the sentiment out

using  the Simple Strips die from Taylored Expressions and popped it up on foam tape

towards the bottom right of the card.

6) I also popped up my Butterfly for extra dimension. I cut off part of the 

heart so it lined up with the edge of the card for a more organic look.

7) Last but certainly not least I addd some bling with some Purple Jewels from

Kat Scrappiness.

Don't forget The Rabbit Hole Stamps are also available at

Caffeine Saves Lives

Hello again and welcome back to my blog!

I'm up on the Rabbit Hole Designs blog today and I have a short story to share with you.

I recently acquired the Caffeinated Shark stamp

and die and I'm so glad I did! Did you ever not order a stamp because you thought

you wouldn't use it and then see it used on a card and you're sorry you didn't order it?

Well a good purple haired friend of mine calls it FOMO...….

Now for those of you who don't know what that means (I certainly did not)

It means "fear of missing out".....

Well, I'm not missing out anymore, now little sharky is mine and I'm so glad he is!

I really have to start training myself to look at craft supplies in a different way

and see the potential in them.

Ok enough rambling for now, on to my card!

Card Recipe

1)  I usually start by stamping my image with some Copic friendly ink
and coloring with my Copic markers. I loved coloring sharky with my "W"
markers and giving him some fun spots along the way. I used the matching
die to cut him out after he was colored.
2) I covered my card base with some fun water themed patterned paper from the
Sunny Studios Summer Splash paper pack as a background for my card.
3) My Bubble Oval Die cut was the perfect layer over the patterned paper
for little sharky and his fish friends.
4) I stamped the super funny sentiment from Perfectly Blended and
cut it in half.  I then inked the edges of the 2 sentiment strips in blue
to match the card.
5) I foam mounted the La La Land fishies, sentiment and shark on the card and I'm
picturing the fish being scared of sharky and that the
caffeine is saving THEIR lives! 🤣🤣🤣

Here are the two Rabbit Hole stamp sets I used for today's card:

Caffeinated Shark

Perfectly Blended

Depresso Bunny Shaker

Good morning crafty friends! It's 

my day on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog.  I have a

fun card to share with you using the brand new 

Caffeinated Rabbit and Perfectly Blended stamp sets.

Since the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is still going on until May 10th, I

made a coffee themed card with the help of one of the funny sentiments from the 

Perfectly Blended stamp set.  Whether you are making a coffee or tea themed card,

this set has a sentiment for you!

I started by stamping the sentiment stamps and the caffeine molecule 

from the Caffeinated Rabbit stamp set all over some kraft colored

card stock in black ink. I made a shaker card frame out of teal card stock using the
Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness and

filled it with Teal Jewels, Light Gold Stars and the Espresso Sequin Mix.
The Rabbit was colored with Copic markers

and I put him inside the shaker so the sequins would lay on top of him.

I love how it looks when the sequins are partially on the image.

For the duration of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop,
The Rabbit Hole Designs will be offering

FREE SHIPPING

on orders of $25.00 or more before taxes and shipping (US orders only).

No code necessary, exclusions apply.

*FREE WITH QUALIFYING PURCHASE*

While supplies last, all orders placed during the hop spending $35.00

or more before shipping and tax will receive this exclusive 2x3 inch 

stamp set titled Handmade Brew.

been set aside for those wishing to purchase them.

Crabby Coffee Card

Hello crafty friends, I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and 

 I'm sharing a card using 2 stamp sets from one of the new 

vendors in the Kat Scrappiness shop!

The Rabbit Hole Designs is a new company that has

fun and creative stamps with a dash of quirky and sassy!

They have a whole line of caffeinated critter stamps and today

I am using the Caffeinated Crab on my card!

The sentiment is from the Perfectly Blended stamp set.

This coffee and tea themed sentiment set has the funniest

sayings and pair so perfectly with the caffeinated critters from The Rabbit Hole!

I got the super cute patterned paper from Michaels with crabs 

all over it and I thought it would be the perfect background for my tired crab!

I used the Zig Zag Border dies on some kraft paper and then I made it look like

faux sand using a technique I showed in this YouTube video:

Faux Sand Technique 

I also die cut some shells and gave them the same look as the sand.

The crab patterned paper was cut out using the Zig Zag Rectangle dies

and I layered the kraft paper on top of it.  Since I used the Zig Zag border dies,

it layered perfectly on top. The bottom layer of my sun was cut using

the starburst die from the Crafter's Essentials II dies.

The sentiment is from the Perfectly Blended stamp set by The Rabbit Hole

and I mounted it on to a small die from the Zig Zag Rectangle dies.

I just love these fun stamps from The Rabbit Hole and I think you will too!

As always don't forget to use my code LISA10 in the Kat Scrappiness 

shop for 10% off your entire order!

The Rabbit Hole Designs May Release Day 1

Welcome back to the fabulous May release from The Rabbit Hole Designs!

I think you're going to love what they have in store for you over the next few days.

To start things off The Rabbit Hole Designs is releasing 2 new stamp sets today 

that pair perfectly with each other! As a matter of fact these 2 sets will pair very well

with lots of other stamp sets already available in The Rabbit Hole store!

Today's stamp sets are the:

Caffeinated Rabbit
and

Perfectly Blended

YAY!!!! The Rabbit Hole Designs finally has a mascot!

Today they are introducing the Caffeinated Rabbit!

What better animal than a rabbit to add to the RABBIT Hole Designs!

This tired rabbit is a perfect addition to the collection of caffeinated critters

already living in The Rabbit Hole Designs store.

The Perfectly Blended stamp set has over 20 of the best

coffee/tea puns and sentiments you could ask for!

You will find yourself reaching for this stamp set over and over.

Not to mention that it goes so well with the entire Rabbit Hole

caffeinated collection of critters!

Today I have two cards and a shaker tag to share with you using the 

Caffeinated Rabbit and Perfectly Blended stamp sets.

For my first card I went clean and simple.

I Copic colored my rabbit with some warm grays and then mounted 

him on to a white zig zag circle die and added a few clear jewels.

The base of the card was made with some pretty pink striped patterned paper

and I stamped the sentiment from the Caffeinated Rabbit directly on to the striped paper.

For my second card I incorporated the previously released

Caffeinated Flamingo so my tired rabbit could have a friend!

The sentiment I used from the Perfectly Blended stamp set demanded 

that the card had some caffeine loving friends on it.

I Copic colored my rabbit and flamingo and cut them out and set them aside.

The base of the card was made by ink blending a rainbow and then covering

it with some pretty scalloped edge panels. I just love how the rainbow peeks

out through the middle of the card!

I popped my flamingo and rabbit up and stamped a sentiment from

Perfectly Blended on the bottom of the card.

I just love this sentiment😂🤣😂

Lastly I added some sparkly jewels around to bring the card together.

For my last project today I made a shaker tag using........... wait for it.........

REAL COFFEE BEANS!

My desk smelled so good the day I made this tag!

I have been wanting to make a project using real coffee beans ever since

I saw Amanda Steven's video of her Caffeinated Cat card.

Here is a link to that awesome card:

Coffee Bean Shaker Card

I made a shaker tag but I made sure to use an extra thick layer of foam

tape to accommodate those chunky coffee beans!

I just love that funny sentiment!  That Caffeinated Rabbit definitely

looks DEPRESSO!!!
