Hello Bluebird - Halloween

 Hello!!

I'm stopping by with another Halloween card!! I used a couple Hello Bluebird Halloween stamp sets, Frightful Little Bits & Spooky Script.

I stamped a whole bunch of the these images, colored them with my Copics and fussy cut them out several weeks ago. Last week I finally made at least one card with some of the images!

I started by die cutting different sized circles and then used Distress Oxides to ink up the circles. Then I pulled out some Halloween pattern paper and cut some circles from it. 

Then I started playing with placement of the circles and images. When I was happy with it I added the circles with foam tape. Then I adhered the images. Last I decided to stamp the Boo and Eek sentiments!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Cat's Pajamas - Keep Calm

Hello!!

I'm back with my next card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop!! Don't forget to link up your project for a chance to win some amazing prizes from our fab Sponsors!!

Today's card features Super Sponsor The Cat's Pajamas, Make Tea stamp set! I used the cute bunny sitting in the cup with the flowers. I used my Copic markers to color her up, then I fussy cut her out.

With The Greetery Sentiment Suite Basics die set, I cut a double ended banner from white card stock. I stamped the Keep Calm Put the Kettle On sentiment, then I cut the banner again from black. Then I adhere the white on top of the black, off setting it a little.

Next, I used Sponsor Funky Fossil Designs Random Rectangles stencils with three Distress Oxide colors. I inked up the darker color at the bottom working up to the lighter color.

Then I adhered my ink blended panel to a blue card base and adhered the colored image with foam tape. Last, I adhered the sentiment to the card with adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be back later tonight with another coffee card! Don't forget to get your linked up!!

Coffee Loving Card Makers - International Tea Day

Hello!

Happy International Tea Day! The Coffee Loving Cardmakers design team has gotten together to do a little hop!! Half the DT is featuring Graciellie Designs and the other half Paper Smooches! You should have arrived from Kerry's blog!

My card features Paper Smooches Caffeinated, Caffeinated Two and the matching dies! I started by stamping the coffee cup twice on white card stock. I also stamped just the coffee lid twice. Then I used the matching dies to cut them out.

Next, I pulled out Funky Fossil Designs Poinsettia stencil. I masked the coffee cup so just the wrap could be colored. I placed the stencil over it and then used Distress Oxides to color the stencil. I added a little bit of grey to the lid and added them to each cup with foam tape.

I cut a panel with a stitched rectangle and then used the same Distress Oxides to ink it up. Then I placed the stencil over the panel and used a white opaque pen to outline the stencil. When it was dry I splattered water, then splattered the same Distress inks.

Then I added the two coffee cups with foam tape. Below them I stamped the It's Been Oolong in black ink. I added the panel to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop in the hop is the amazing Helen!!
