Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Card 2: Full PEEK Rabbit Hole Spring Coffee set

 

Day 2 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I am back with a full PEEK at the new "Spring Coffee" stamp set coming from The Rabbit Hole Designs March 29. I stamped the image and colored it with Copics.  I decided to frame it in desert card stock with my Hero Arts Wood frame.
The sentiment is also in the stamp set.

Coffee Lovers Card Hop 2018: Card 2

Back with another card I designed for the Winter Coffee Lovers Card Hop.

These are gift card holders for the boys' teachers. 

This cup image is "Cool Beans" by Avery Elle.  The lid was stamped a second time, popped and layered with Glossy Accents.  The papers are from my stash. Poinsettia stickers are form Michaels and the donut stickers are by Doodlebug.  The sentiments are Hero Arts. 
I had fun stamping the cups and the cup wraps. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Just a Note...

Used a dimensional apple sticker set on watercolored background.

The flicks kinda look like blood so maybe not the best choice of flicking colors, lol
Sentiment by Hero Arts

Christmas Card

Sharing the holiday cards I made for the boys' teachers this year.

 

I used texture paste mixed with gray ink and Martha Stewart glitter on a

brick stencil my My Favorite Things for the background.

The chalkboard and accessories are by Lawn Fawn.

I think the sentiment is HA.

Can you see the subtle glitter in the bricks?

The string with lights was purchased at JoAnn Fabrics a few years ago.

Hello there.

Poppy Sketch #12: gift bag

Back again with the latest challenge from Poppy Sketches.  

This challenge was sponsored by  iralamijashop which features handmade digital images. 

As I looked at the sketch my eye was drawn toward the top of the sketch and

I visualized a fold.  So, I decided to decorate a plain bag.  Got it all girlie 

to use as a gift bag down the road.
I used the sponsor's digital image and created a tag. 

 The rectangular shape is represented in the back die cut.

The line is shown in washi tape.

 

The lighter flowers were embossed in white and then I painted them with a barn door distress ink/water/perfect pearl mixture.  

The top flower was colored with Copics for more pop.

Supplies:

Dies: Lawn Fawn's "Tag, You're It", "Scallop Circles"and "Stitched Journaling Card"

Stamps: Hero Arts

Misc: wood veneer, pearls, sequins, rhinestones 

Can't wait to see how you were inspired by the sketch!

The cute tag and gift stamp are by Lawn Fawn.
The sentiment is Hero Arts

PS5: Hello

Made a "hello" card to go along with the new Poppy Sketch Challenge #5

I pulled out a Hero Arts stamp that I had never used.  

I stamped it in black and "watercolored" the background with Distress Weathered Wood.

Then, I colored the flowers and leaves with Copics.

The "Hello" was again stamped and embossed with Ranger black glitter powder, 

cut out and raised with dimensional foam.

The "enamel dots" are homemade from Perle beads.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Please consider joining my card drive for Emma, a little girl in Dayton, Ohio battling cancer.

Drive goes until July 2014.

Thanks, Kelly
