    I Don’t Need A Morning Routine

    Hey everyone, I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. I took a break from Fall and Winter cards to create this fun one. I am sure there are a few of us who can relate to this sentiment?! I no longer have kids in the house but I have 2 dogs and 1 cat and they all want in and out at different times (different doors LOL) in the morning so there’s no such thing as sitting and enjoying a full cup of tea without interruption. 

    I paired the Rise & Decline – September Uniquely Unity stamp set (which is on sale right now too!) with the Our Groovy Summer collection by Echo Park.

    I used some of my scraps from the paper, just adhered and stitched them on. Then once colouring her, I fussy cut out and mounted on foam squares. I also used the Thinking Out Loud stampset and stamped the sentiment inside one of the talking bubbles and it too is mounted on foam squares.

    That’s it for me today. I hope you have a great day.

  • Fall is…

    Fall is…

    We just got back from a wilderness resort/retreat and it was amazing! My kind of holiday, not hot, in the wilderness and super cozy.

    For this week’s inspiration over at Inspired By I was inspired by the theme, the sketch (loosely) and the pumpkins.

    I used the Here Comes Autumn collection from Echo Park once again.

    To emboss the main panel I used a Stampin’ Up embossing folder to add some dimension and then stitched some scraps on. I then mounted the quote snd elements on foam squares 

    That’s all from me today. Need to catch up around home! Have a great weekend and I can’t wait to see how you are inspired.

  • Handmade Halloween card trio

    Handmade Halloween card trio

    Today I am sharing a few cards I created as part of my DT assignment for Echo Park using the Handmade Halloween collection

    Such a fun collection to work with. I love the more neutral colours rather than purples, greens and oranges.

    There are free instructions for these up on the Echo Park website.

    Do you create Halloween cards?

  • Thanks

    Thanks

    I combined a couple of challenges today and it gave me a good excuse to dig into the Home Sweet Home Collection by Carta Bella

    When I saw the challenge from The Card Concept I knew I wanted to use this collection.

    I was inspired by the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I combined the papers with some of the elements, added stitching a die cut sentiment (CTMH) and called it done.

    Of course, playing along at Simon Says challenge and the Time Out Challenge (gingham, basket)

    That’s all for today. Hope you have a great weekend.

  • Cozy Fall

    Cozy Fall

    Hey everyone, I am here to share my take on this week’s Inspired By Challenge.. So many ideas I had with this one because there are so many fun elements in the photo! I decided to go with the fall theme, the coffee and an animal.

    If this image looks familiar, yes I did use this stamp last week too. It is just so darn cute! It is from the Mice & Cozy stamp set from Unity, which is on sale right now!

    For the coffee cup die cut I used an old CTMH die – it is actually to make a shaped card, but it was the perfect size to allow the stamp to fit on the coffee sleeve. I used the Feels Like Fall collection from Echo Park once again too.

    That’s all from me today. I hope. you have a great day. Be sure to grab this cute stamp set while it is on sale!

  • Greece Card Trio

    Greece Card Trio

    I made these cards awhile ago as part of an assignment for Echo Park Paper and was so busy during the summer I forgot to share them.

    I really like this paper pack as I have been to parts of Greece and makes me really want to scrapbook some of the photos… I haven’t scrapbooked in awhile, maybe this is the boost I need!

    There are FREE instructions for these cards up on the Echo Park Website:

    Have you been to Greece? I can see this collection being used for a travel journal, notebook, scrapbook….

  • A Little Fall Hello

    A Little Fall Hello

    I LOVE fall and making fall cards so this week, I was all over the Inspired By Challenge. I was inspired by the leaves, theme and sketch and had fun on this one

    I used the Feels Like Fall collection by Echo Park. After adhering the die cut background (die from CTMH) I dug out an old punch and punched the leaves. Once they were down I stitched on them

    I then used the Mice & Cozy stamp set from Unity, coloured it, fussy cut it out and mounted on foam squares. The Fall die is from Honey Bee Stamps.

    I then just added a few buttons.

    That’s all from me today. Have a great weekend!

  • Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas

    While I still had the Mouse & Me Collection by Echo Park Paper out on my desk I decided to play with Snobert again

    After colouring him with copics I mounted on foam squares and added glitter glue to his hat and pom pom and Glossy Accents to his nose. I then stamped the Christmas from the heart of Christmas stamp set die cut it out and mounted it on foam squares as well.

    Be sure to grab Snobert while he is ON SALE for only $12.99 (regular $29.99)

  • Caught You Peeking

    Caught You Peeking

    I have a couple of cards to share with you today and once again, using Unity stamps!

    These cuties are part of this month’s KOM or you can purchase them separately as a KOMpanion Hide & Holiday Peek stamp set (it’s on SALE!) Both cards use the new Mouse & Me Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper. I really like the colors in this, the addition of the blue and yellow are perfect.

    First up, Caught You Peeking. I layered the pattern paper then before adhering the white cardstock, I stencilled some snowflakes using a stencil from the Mouse & Me Collection. I mounted the images on foam squares then added some glitter glue to fur trim and glossy accents to the deer’s nose.

    The using scraps from this card I made the background for the snowman card. For this one I also used the heart of Christmas stamp and die set from Unity

    Grab the items by clicking on the photos.

    I am playing along with JUGS – Anything goes Stencil Week and Simon Says – Christmas in September
