    A Day Without Coffee…

    Hey everyone, we are almost officially at the end of summer. We are heading out for one more camping trip this coming weekend after that I will definitely be embracing fall. What about you? 

    Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters sharing a card that I created with some Crafty Co goodies, and thought that Camping Meadow would be the perfect stamp.

    I used the Coffee is Life paper pack. the background die is an old MFT one. I was able to just trim some of my scraps to fit in the cut outs. Once I was happy with where everything went I stitched it all down.

    To be honest, this sentiment fits my husband more than me. He can’t go without his coffee! And even though I am more of a tea drinker (I do like my lattes though) I can go without it if I have to. What about you?

    Once I had her all coloured I adhered the mug to her hand and mounted her and the sentiment on foam squares. I can’t remember where I got the coffee die 🫣 please tell me if you know!

    That’s all from me today. Now it‘s time to work on the piles of laundry we brought home!

    Happiness is Homemade

    Hey everyone, happy Friday and the first Friday of September. In my mind it’s fall LOL

    For this week’s Inspired By challenge I was inspired by the rolling pins and used some goodies from Crafty Stamp Co (they have FREE shipping this weekend!)

    I paired the Patissir Meadow with the Sugar & Spice paper pack. (I love their packs as they are nice and thick and come with a plastic sleeve to hold them in once opened) I used some scraps and stitched them on then stamped and coloured some of the items on the stamp set. All of which are mounted on foam squares. 

    I have had the homemade die for several years and don’t remember where I got it. (Also think this is the first time using it LOLOL)

    I used one of my sketches – which you can find HERE (I plan on adding more periodically so be sure to check back). If you use any of my sketches I would love if you tagged me and linked to my sketch page so others can find it!

    I can’t wait to see how you are inspired this week.

    I am up on the Crafty Stamp Co today. I combined a couple of different stamp sets for this one.

    I started with the Camping Meadow stamp set, colored her and the little coffee mug with copics and fussy cut out. Using a glue dot I adhered the coffee mug to her hand to look like she is carrying a coffee.

    I used the Coffee Life pattern paper as the background to carry out the coffee theme. I stamped one of the sentiments from the A Day Without stamp set then mounted Meadow on foam squares for dimension.

    Happy Monday! I hope that you had a great weekend. I actually took the time to do some baking since our weather was a little cooler (in the 20s rather than the 30s). Baked some sourdough bread along with some blueberry scones.

    It is my turn over on the Crafty Stamp Co blog again and I decided to create another baking themed card.

    I used the the Patisser Meadow stamp and the Sugar & Spice collection. 

    This time I kept the design pretty simple as I used scraps and wanted the images to be more of the focal point. I adhered the papers then added some stitching – that adds to the homemade feel doesn’t it?

    After coloring and cutting them out, I mounted the main three on foam squares for some interest and dimension.

  • I can’t I am making cookies

    I can’t I am making cookies

    I am so excited to have my first project as a design team member for Craft Stamp Co up on their blog today.

    For my card today I have used the Patisser Meadow stamp set along with the Sugar & Spice papers as they coordinate so well. As a homebody/introvert I can totally relate to this sentiment LOL I would much rather stay home and bake/craft etc than go out. Who is with me on this one?

    I used a scallop punch to create the scallop borders which I think adds a nice feminine touch. Cute story, when my granddaughter was little (like around 2) I bought her a very cute apron, hat and mitt set for when she baked with me. She wore that every single time until it was too small. She then, when she was about 7 got another set from her auntie and continued to wear them. She is now almost 12 and whenever she bakes at my place (all on her own now!) she grabs my apron 😊 – no chef’s hat though LOL

    After coloring with copics I mounted her and the bowls on foam squares. Then stamped and cut apart the sentiment before adhering it.

  • Just One More Coffee

    Just One More Coffee

    Hey everyone, happy August! I hope that you have had a great summer so far. I have been enjoying the fruits of my labor (literally) as my blueberry bushes have been producing more than they ever have!

    Anyways, it’s coffee time. LOL. I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. I feel like this one is appropriate today as in BC we had a long weekend so yesterday was a holiday and I suspect there may be a few people needing their coffee this morning ha!

    For my card I have used my new goodies from Crafty Stamp Co. A little background, I was thinking of my youngest daughter when I made this. She loves her coffee, her cats and pink so I just may have to send this to her (all the way to Germany!)

    I just layered the papers until I liked the look then added some stitching. After coloring the image with copics I fussy cut and mounted on foam squares. I did add the zzzs using an old CTMH alphabet stamp.
