Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge For April

 Hello everyone.  Here is another card I made for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #28.  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is a Sponsor and you still have time to participate for a chance to win $25 GC.  Use hashtag #cccc28 on the socials.

On my card, I used Sweet Holiday Wishes Stamp and Coordinating die, Latte Love Stamp, and Poinsettia Wishes Stamp.  I started out with stamping the cute ginger girl with black ink on white cardstock.  I colored her in with copic markers.  I also stamped the small to-go cup from Latte Love Stamp and colored it to match.  I used the coordinating die to cut the ginger out and I fussy cut out the to-go cup.

For my background, I cut out some white cardstock 4x 5 1/4.  I used the Poinsettia wishes stamp and stamped the smaller Poinsettia with Catherine Pooler Samba ink in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation stamping.  I used Catherine Pooler Mardi Gras ink for the leaves also using the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation stamping.  I used black ink for the center image.  I also stamped the sentiment from Sweet Holiday Wishes with Mardi Gras ink.  I cut my sentiment with my paper trimmer rounding it off.

I then glued my background to a kraft A2 card base.  I added the ginger, to-go cup, and sentiment with foam tape.  Lastly, I added some gel accents with my gelly roll pen and clear sequins.  I hope you like it.

Thank you for visiting my blog. ❤

Caffeinated Christmas card for April 2024

 Hello everyone. Happy April. There is a April Challenge for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge that will run from April 1st-April 25th.  I have a Caffeinated card for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps as they are a sponsor for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge this month yay.  You can win a 25 GC to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  So Amazing! Use hashtag #cccc28

On my card, I used Holiday Cheer Stamp, I like Big Cups Stamp, and the Grunge Dots Stencil.  I first started out stamping the coffee cup on white cardstock.  I colored it in with my Copic Markers.  I had already had the candy canes image colored and cut out from a previous project.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with Versafine Black Onynx ink and Clear embossing powder from the Holiday Cheer onto white cardstock.  

I cut my cardstock to be 4 x 5 1/4. I grabbed a sheet of foam and cut it to fit the back of my panel before glueing it to my A2 card base.  I like the depth and it's easier to use a sheet than a bunch of foam tape strips sometimes. I glued my cup and candy canes to my card. I then ink blended the edges around my card with green tea ink from Catherine Pooler. My card felt plain, so I grabbed the Grunge Dots Stencil and ink blended it with Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink over my already green ink blending.  I then flicked some white paint splatters over my card with a paint brush, water using Picket Fence Distress Spray.  Lastly, I added some embellishments.  I hope you like my card.  I can't wait to see your cards for the challenge.

Merry Christmas Poinsettia Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Holiday card to share using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I had so much making this card and I plan to give  it to our friend April who is bringing us some Homemade Cookies. She always makes so many different kinds.  My favorite is the Magic Coconut Bars...Yum.

I went for a pinkish Holiday Card.  I love how it came out.  I used pink heavy weight cardstock 110lb. panel 4 x 5 1/4.  I placed my cardstock in my misti stamping platform and used the Poinsettia Wishes Stamp set.  I used Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo dye ink for the flowers and I inked up the leaves with Catherine Pooler Deck The Halls Dye ink.  I used Versafiene Nocturne ink for the centers and I scattered some of the centers on my card.  I also stamped the sentiment on my panel too.  I have used this sentiment a lot for my Holiday Cards. I love the font so much.

Next, I glued my panel to a green heavy weight A2 Card Base.  I added some sequins and that finishes this card.  I had a lot of fun making it and it was really easy too.  I hope you like it.

Thank you for taking a Peek.

A Gnome and his Holiday Coffee

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for the Coffee Lovers Fall Winter Blog Hop that starts today.  I have a card I made using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  They are a Sponsor and you can win a $25 gc to the store. Make sure to comment on the Sweet 'n sassy Stamps Blog post.

On my card, I used the Winter Gnomes stamp set.  I had already had it stamped and cut out with my brother scan n cut.  I colored it in with my Copic Markers.  I went for some traditional colors.  On my background, I ink blended some white cardstock with Weathered Wood Distress oxide ink. I did make my own snow drift using scissors and white cardstock.  I cut my cardstock and snow drift to be smaller than A2 size.  I then glued my panel to a A2 card base and added my snow drift with foam tape.  Next, I glued my gnome.

I then stamped some snowflakes from the same stamp set with the same distress oxide ink onto my background.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Holiday Cheer Stamp on red cardstock and white ink with white embossing powder.  I cut my sentiment and decided to stamp  "gnome' for a pun. I glued my sentiment and that finishes my card. I also added some white gel accents with my gelly roll pen and used a gray marker to drawn in some snow.  I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.  Now, I will grab a cup of coffee and do some hopping.

Sending Holiday Cheer

 Hi everyone. I have a Holiday card to share today using the New Release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  In this Release there are so many wonderful Holiday stamps and sentiments to mass produce your cards quickly and beautifully.

On my card, I used the New Holiday Cheer Stamp Set illustrated by Julee Tilman.  I love this stamp so much.   I stamped the cups on white cardstock with black alcohol friendly ink and colored the Poinsettia Cups with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut the cups out using my scissors.

I cut out some red cardstock from a A2 paper pack.  I cut it down smaller than A2 to be 4 x 5.25.  I then glued my red cardstock to a white A2 heavy weight card base.  I rearranged my cups and glued them to my card.

I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set on white cardstock and cut it out with my paper trimmer.  I then layered my sentiment on some aqua paper to match.I then glued my layered sentiment to my card.  Lastly, I glued some pearls and added some white gel accents with my Gelly Roll Pen.  I hope you like my card.  I had so much fun making it.  I love Coffee and Tea so these kinds of cards make my heart happy.

Until Next Time Happy Crafting!

Sweet n' Sassy Stamps New September Release

 Hi everyone.  I'm so excited Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has a Brand New Release today.  Today, I'm sharing one of the cards I created for the New Release.  And it's a Holiday Themed Release!

Aren't these Candy Canes Pretty?  I used the New Holiday Cheer Stamp set illustrated my Julee Tilman.  I love Julee's Stamps and this set has a coffee/tea cup and some beautiful sentiments with different fonts.  I know you will love it.  I chose to stamp this candy can on Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I colored it in with my copic markers and fussy cut it out.  There is a coordinating die set at Sweet n' Sassy Stamps.  

Next, I printed some tags from the Gnomie Christmas Digital stamp on red cardstock.  I fussy cut it out.  I grabbed some greenish cardstock and stamped the candy canes in Catherine Poolers ink all over my panel. It was really fun.  I then cut my cardstock to be 4 x 5.25.  I tied some Christmas twine on my tag.  

I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set with black ink on white cardstock and cut it out with my paper trimmer.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and I popped up my sentiment with foam tape.  I used a white gelly roll pen for accents and glued some gold baubles.  That finishes my card.  I hope ypu like it and check out the new release here.  I will be back sharing what I created for the New Release.

Christmas Card using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

 Hi everyone.  Today starts the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party.  You have until July 28 to link up your holiday cards.  They can be wintery or yuletide etc. It's a great way to get your Holiday Cards done early for the year. I'm super excited to have another card to share today.  I will be sharing every day of the hop thankfully.  We have so many amazing Sponsors and I wish I could use them all in my projects.  Use the Graphic below and Hashtag #christmasinjuly2023byshclp on your social media posts so we can see and comment.

I used Sponsor Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for my card.  The stamp set is called Deck The Halls. Isn;t it lovely? I love it and I was so excited to use it for the Hop.

 I started out with Fabriano Cold Pressed Watercolor cardstock 140lb. I cut it to A2 size.  I then stamped and heat embossed the images with Versafine ink and clear embossing powder for a fun design.  I colored my images in with Altenew Watercolor Pans Paint set.  I love to watercolor and I should do it more often.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment using my Misti Stamping Platform and Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I then used my paint colors that I used for my card and splattered paint with water onto my panel.  I also splattered gold paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors..  I glued my panel to a A2 card base and added some red enamel dots for embellishments. I did add some Holly Leaves that I fussy cut out and added with foam tape. I hope you like it.  It was  a lot of fun.
