Pretty Pink Posh Merry Christmas Mug Card 2

 A big thank you to Pretty Pink Posh for being a Super Sponsor for the Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! Using their newest releases: Winter Mug Dies, Winter Foliage Dies, and their older Merry Christmas die. Also added Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Jewels mix. 

To make this card, I added glitter to the marshmallows and background which was a Neenah blue cardstock of #65. I adhered double-sided 6" wide Super Tacky Tape adhesive to the blue paper, and removed the top layer. Using a"Pixie puffer" with Pixie Dust glitter I puffed the glitter onto it the blue cardstock to make the glitter background and evenly coat the whole surface. I ink blended with Candied Apple Distress Ink onto the mug die cut and then adhered the snowflake die piece from the set. Used Mowed Lawn for the 2 sizes of holly leaves and then added the jewels with Art Glitter glue.  This card was #392!! Super big blog hop going on so join if you can!!

Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Card #3

 Using the Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Stamp and Die their glossy dots and a sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable gnome coffee mug Springtime card!  

Directions to make it: I held the two pieces of paper together with washi tape and then cut the oval die (Spellbinder's Ovals) through both layers. I had adhered the 6 inch double adhesive to them prior to that so that I could adhere the acetate to each layer prior to putting the window on. The ovals were perfectly lined up and this made it easier to make the shaker.  I free hand cut the acetate into an oval shape just larger than the die cut by using the negative cut outs to show me where to cut. I added more double sided adhesive around the edge of the "window" so as to make sure the pieces didn't spill out. I chose a pink and green sequin mix from my past days at Kennedy Grace DT with her gorgeous Sequin mixes. Un-Du was used when placing the ovals together to give me time to move them around to fit together perfectly. The 6x6 paper pad is a blast from the past of Pink and Main's past papers. Love the tone on tone of these fun colors!! Definitely a keeper till I use it all up!! Silver glossy sparkle dots were added inside mostly and out. In making the card in this manner, it will not cost extra to mail since in essence, it is flat.

Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Card

 Using the Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Stamp and Die their enamel dots and sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable like coffee mug Springtime card! Using a top folding A-2 card base is the trick to this process and unfolding the card base so that I used only the card front. I die cut the rectangle out and then used an oval die (Spellbinder's Oval die) through both the card layer and that star paper so that the see through "window" was centered. I used washi tape to make sure they didn't move and I had made an adhesive sandwich with 6 inch adhesive tape on both paper layers adhered to the back. In this way, I removed the adhesive and adhered a slightly larger acetate oval (I free hand cut) to the adhesive on each paper.  I then added strips of adhesive that were narrow to the inside edge of that acetate so as not to show when the shaker part was glued together. I made this flat. I wanted to make it easier to mail and have room for sequins and pieces but not thick. Using UN-DU when finally adhering the layers made it easy to position them centered.

Pink And Main Gnome One Like You Card

 Using the new Pink and Main Gnome Body Like You stamp and die along with their enamel dots and sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable like coffee mug Springtime card! I used double side cardstock of purple so that through the "window" you can see the lighter purple on the inside. This was done by cutting an oval (Spellbinder's Oval die) through both the top panel and the bottom dark purple cardstock. I then sandwiched the acetate in the middle and added my shaker mix. By doing it this way, it doesn't add the bulk like in my other shaker cards and because the pieces are just the width of sequins it shakes plenty!

Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus Card

Using Scrapping for Less Coffee and Friends pattern papers, I made this perfect Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus Card. The background was stamped with the cacti with Versamark and heat embossed with white ep. I then used Distress Oxide in Straw and Squeezed Lemonade with blender brushes. I stamped and masked the 2 cactus cups so as to showcase their flowers with the cup handles sticking out some. I colored with Copic Markers in matching colors and trimmed the papers and glued down. Hope you enjoyed all the fun with these adorable Newton's Nook images! They are a Super Sponsor of the Coffee Lover's Blog hop and it is so generous of them to sponsor it each time I thought it would be nice to use this image for both challenges!

Stamplorations Framed Cups-Card 3

I used the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Super Sponsor Stamplorations Framed Tea Cups. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the background with Copic sketch markers Y21, and Y26. I then paper pieced with My Minds Eye Hattie Paper 6x6 pad. Loved the vintage feel with this image and it reminded me of sun and surf colors. I used antique seam binding around the card to add some soft texture to the card. I then added the Prima Coffee wooden piece, "Coffee Time" for the sentiment. Inked edges with Distress Oxide Walnut stain. I did add black ink around the edge to the black pattern paper.

Waffle Flower Multiple cards Using my MISTI

I was wanting to send happy messages to many friends I am not able to see in person, so used my MISTI tool to do multiples of where the sentiment would be as well as the cute Waffle Flower Be Her animals. Did more of the animals for other cards yet to post. Made this simple card design so as to stamp first and then line up the pattern papers later. Did multiple stamping on a scrap of black cardstock to make the "Have a" and "day" as well. A MISTI really comes in handy to make many cards at once!
Waffle Flower just celebrated their 6th anniversary or birthday and I am so fond of their images!! Wish I could play all day long with all of their fun images! Hope this inspires you to #spreadjoynotgerms #thedailymarkerchallenge30day #stayhomestaysafe
