    Another Beer Older

    Switching Gears a bit here but I had to share this new stamp set from Unity. It is so perfect for masculine cards, which I often have trouble making. What about you?

    I created this first card using some old CTMH papers along with some dies that I have had (I think from PTI and MFT but not sure). I coloured in using copics and added some sparkle glaze to the foam

    Then, I noticed the scrap piece of white cardstock that I had used the dies on and thought it would make a good background (I didn’t plan on lining them up so well, it just worked out that way LOL). I used the same papers and once again added details to the foam

    Now go grab this stamp as it is on sale right now!

    I played along with the Inspired By Challenge again as well as with the TGIF challenge. I thought this cute image from a clip art collection was perfect. I used some scraps of browns, and Kraft papers and the red snowflake is from the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection. I used the theme and sketch from Inspired By and the theme for TGIF

    Now if you like the clip art you can find it here:

    And here is the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up. Gotta love a Charcuterie board. We have a hot chocolate charcuterie every Christmas Eve now. I had one a few years ago, my grand daughter really liked it and looks forward to it each year. I was inspired by the Gingerbread and the hot chocolate. I used this clip art which made this card go together very quickly. Once again I have used the Gingerbread Kisses from Doodlebug..

    If you like this clip art you can grab it here:

    Now I hope you come and join us, would love to see how you are inspired!

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters today with another card for the Lattes & Layers challenge. The Theme this month is Sparkle

    Once again I used the Gingebread Kisses collection from Doodlebug because I couldn’t resist this cute die cut. It is hard to tell in the photo but I punched out a few of the snowflakes from glitter paper.

    Have you played along with the Sparkle challenge yet?

    I played along with the Inspired by Challenge once again. I couldn’t help it, just love these colors and this old MFT panel die was perfect for it. I mounted all the die cuts (except little hearts) onto foam squares of some added dimension. And of course, had to throw in a couple of snowflakes.

    There’s still some time to play along! come on over and play!

    One Leg Twitch

    I know this isn’t Christmasy but I am sure there are some of us that can relate to this around now LOL! This is a new stamp set from Unity called Starting a Plague.

    I did fussy cut the little guy and mound him on foam squares for dimension.

    The other sentiments that come with the image are pretty perfect as well!

    Now tell me, how close are you to feeling this right now?

    Cozy Warm Winter Wishes

    My second hot cocoa card for today, this time using some Unity stamps. I used the It’s a Mug Hug stamp set for the main image and the sentiment is from the Cozy Vibes Coffee set I used some scraps of my Carta Bella Coffee shop papers. the image is coloured with copics and mounted on foam squares. I added glitter to the whip cream for detail.

    Once again playing along with (click on photos for direct link)

  • Stay Warm, Feel Cozy

    Stay Warm, Feel Cozy

    It’s National Cocoa Day so of course I had to create a card for the occasion. Actually I am going to see how many I can create today! This is the first of 2 so far. I used the Farmhouse collection from Carta Bella, which isn’t a Christmas/Winter collection but I thought the colors worked well for it. The mug die is from MFT, the snowman stamp is from Pinkfresh Studio and the sentiment is from Unity.

    I mounted the min image on foam squares. The embossed snowflake background was a scrap just laying on my desk so I made it into a tag to mount the image on.

    This is also another card for the Lattes & Layers challenge over on the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Blog where the theme is Sparkle. I added some sparkle to the snowman’s hat.

    Come play along, as one lucky person will get to be a guest designer!

    And of course don’t forget to play along with the Caffeinated Christmas challenge!
