    Warm Winter Wishes

    I have another card for the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog again today and it is your last chance to link up to the Lattes & Layers Challenge

    For my card I have another cute Clip Art design, don’t you just love him? I paired it with some older Simple Stories papers

    I used up some of my scraps, topped it with a snowflake border die from Poppy Stamps and some snowflakes punched out of glitter paper before mounting the image on foam squares. The sentiment die is from Stamplorations. I did fussy cut the mug and add it to the snowman’s hand.

    Check out this cute collection of Clip Art Snowmen.

    Now head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog as today is the last day for the Sparkle challenge

    Hot Cocoa

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog with yet another card for the Lattes & Layers challenge. Tomorrow is the last day to link up for your chance at being a guest designer. I used this fun clip art which is part of a great collection. For the background, I used a bunch of scraps and added a couple of snowflakes for good luck 😉

    It is hard to tell but I added some glitter to the marshmallows.

    Check out the Clip Art collection as there are quite a few fun designs!

    I am playing along with the Inspired By Challenge again using the colors and the theme. I thought the Beer Me stamp from Unity would work well for this too (It’s probably how my hubby will be celebrating New Years 😉) And yes the stamp set is on sale!

    I paired it with some paper from Stampin’ Up and the dies are from PTI and MFT I believe. I mounted the image on foam squares and added some glitter gel to make it look more like foam on the top.

    Now to grab this fun image!

    and of course come play along at Inspired By!

  • Party Pup

    Party Pup

    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!

  • Forever & Always

    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

    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

    And the challenges:

  • 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!


  • Warm Gingerbread Wishes

    Warm Gingerbread Wishes

    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

  • Sweet Gingerbread Wishes

    Sweet Gingerbread Wishes

    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!
