Living La Vida Mocha!

 

Good morning fellow caffeine addicts! 

I am up on The Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today and I have a 

quick and simple card to share with you!

The Caffeinated line of critters at The Rabbit Hole Designs have so much character they just speak for themselves and don't require a lot of fanfare.

Today I created a clean and simple card using the Caffeinated Bee. The bee is definitely my favorite caffeinated critter of all of them! If you haven't checked out The Rabbit Hole Designs yet, it might be time for a visit!

Here's the quick and easy recipe for my card:

1) Cut out a panel of Bristol Smooth card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Zig Zag dies from Kat Scrappiness and sponge on a circle of Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink in a loose circle near the bottom right of the card.

2) Run panel through a beehive style embossing folder for some added texture

3) Add embossed panel to a teal colored card base. I chose one to match the Peacock Feathers ink.

4) Stamp the Caffeinated Bee using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to some Copic friendly paper and color using Copic markers. Stamp your sentiment under the bee.  I used a sentiment from The Rabbit Hole Designs Perfectly Blended stamp set.

5) Cut bee and sentiment out using a die from the Kat Scrappiness Zig Zag Circle Dies and pop it up on foam tape on your embossed panel.

That's it, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Sometimes I love making a quick and easy card that packs a lot of punch!

Here's one more pic with the supplies used.

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Accident Hair

Did you ever have one of THOSE days at the hairdresser?

Welcome back to my blog!  

It's my turn today over on the Rabbit Hole blog and I have

another fun card from the recent September release!

Well, for me, I grew up with 2 parents that were hairdressers so although

I never had a bad experience at the salon, I did have one hairstyle 

that left me looking like our poor pumpkin friend.

It was a perm gone bad, ya know 80's hair that was out of control!

Just picture Little Orphan Annie times 10!!

Luckily having 2 parents that were hairdressers they were able to reverse 

that perm quickly so there was no permanent damage to my fragile

teenage ego. 😂😂😂

Our pumpkin friend is not so lucky so she is rocking the pumpkin

hair that looks like an accident, or at least that's what she's telling her friends!

I recently broke out my Ranger Alcohol Pearl Inks and 

started playing around with them and 

I wound up with a few backgrounds that I actually liked!

I decided to turn one of them into a card for today's post.

Card Recipe

 -I started with some Ranger Yupo paper and some Ranger alcohol blending solution.

I used some blue and orange alcohol ink and mixed them around until I liked 

how it all looked together.

-Once it was dry I swiped some Kuretake Starry Colors gold paint randomly 

across the panel to give it some extra shine.

-I cut a panel of it out with a Kat Scrappiness zig zag rectangle die and WALLA

instant background! I adhered it with Nuvo adhesive to a white A2 card base.

-My pumpkin friend from Pumpkin Hair Don't Care was stamped 

with Copic friendly Gina K amalgam ink and then colored with similar Copic marker 

colors from the background of the card.  Here are the colors I used:

YR02, YR18, R46, Y06, BG13, and G00

I then cut Ms. Pumpkin out with a Kat Scrappiness zig zag circle die

to match the background panel edge.

-For the sentiment I used a fitting sentiment from Sassy Sentiments

and stamped it out in black ink and cut it from a smaller

Kat Scrappiness zig zag rectangle die to keep the same theme on the edge.

-I popped the image and sentiment up on some 3M foam tape and 

all was good in pumpkin hair land!

Here are the 2 sets I used on today's card:

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!

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!

Happy Easter with Chubby Bunnies

Good morning and welcome to my blog!
Today I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with a cute shaker card for you!

Easter is right around the corner and Sunny Studios stamps 

has the most adorable stamp set called Chubby Bunny!

The new Zig Zag dies in the Kat Scrappiness store are the perfect

dies to show off these cute stamps.

I used the Rectangle Zig Zag dies to frame my adorable shaker card.

Have you seen the selection of sequins and sequin mixes available in the

store? You won't believe how many there are to choose from!

For my card I used the Mixed Flower Sprinkles and the Mirrored Star Sequins.

It's no secret that I love to make shaker cards and with the 

wide assortment of shaker guts, I just can't stop!

For my card I started by blending Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass

Distress Oxide inks to make a background for my card.

I sponged some Tumbled Glass over a stencil at the top and

some Cracked Pistachio over the bottom.  

The next step was to cut out the panel using the 2 largest

Rectangle Zig Zag dies.  This gave me a frame and a 

panel for the base of the card that matched.

I adhered some acetate to the frame and 

added foam tape around the edges. I sprinkled my 

Mixed Flower Sprinkles and Mirrored Star Sequins on to the 

base of the card and then covered them with the acetate 

covered frame. 

I colored the Chubby Bunny, Easter Eggs and 2 little

Chickies with my Copic markers and popped them up on to the

front of the card.

I love how this card turned out and it's like
a breath of fresh spring air with the bright colors
and fun shaker mix.
