    When I saw this Unity stamp, Party Pup Birthday, I knew it would work well with the Party Animal collection from Echo Park. I also added some stars using an old MFT die. Love the banner with this image, it is perfect don’t you think?

    I also paired it with some old CTMH papers and the Thinking Out Loud stamp set

    Both of these stamp sets are on sale right now, so don’t miss out!

    Cheers to a New Year

    The new Inspired By challenge is up and I was inspired by the party theme and colors to create my card. I used the Clink & Celebrate kit from Unity (because it was just perfect for this challenge) along with some papers from Stampin’ Up! (which too are perfect don’t you think?)

    I have had the gold metallic paper around for awhile I think it was from CTMH and it too, worked well for this card. The die is from MFT. I mounted the main image on foam squares for some dimension.

    Isn’t this a fun inspiration? How are you inspired? Come and play along

    Now if you love this Unity stamp go grab it as it is on SALE right now!

    Forever & Always

    Hey everyone, I took a break from the hot chocolate posts to share this one. I paired the new Be Mine collection by Carta Bella with the January Uniquely Unity Mostest Hostess stamp set. I coloured the couch with Copics and mounted on foam squares. You can’t see in the photo but the small grey piece at the bottom is embossed with a woodgrain folder.

    This stamp set is on sale right now so if you like it, now is the time to grab it (click on photo for direct link)

    Hot Chocolate Time

    I had to play along once again with the theme from Inspired By, the TGIF and the Peace On Earth Challenge because I love everything about hot chocolate. I used the Sweet Holiday Wishes Collection from my ETSY shop for this one.

    Not sure if you can see it but I added some sparkle to the whip cream for the Lattes & Layers Challenge over on the CLP blog – the theme is sparkle

    This is the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection, click on image to go to my store

  • Sending Hugs

    Sending Hugs

    I dug into my new Be Mine collection from Carta Bella to create a CAS card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches The die is from CTMH. I can’t remember where this little envelope die is from but it along with the stamp I fussy cut from the pattern paper worked well for this card and sketch.

    This is the sketch I used

  • Another Beer Older

    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:

    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?

    Sweet Christmas Wishes

    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!
