Dancin Mouse, Coffee, and Snowflakes

 Hello everyone I have a card I made for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Coffee+Snowflakes.  I chose to used this cute Spellbinders Die Set that I got in December last month/year.

I love this cute series of dance dies from Spellbinders.  I have been collecting them. This one is called Dancin and Giftin Mouse.  I started out using a white A2 cardstock panel with a Filigree Snowflakes embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum Aqua 6 Machine using the perfect sandwich plates. I then ink blended it a little with Hickory Smoke Distress ink. Next, I then ran my mouse dies through my die-cutting machine using white, pink, blue, purple, and black cardstock.  

I ink blended the head and ears with Hickory Distress ink.  I made her boots with multiple layers as I wanted them to be thick die-cuts.  I cut out a retired small coffee to-go cup from a CC Designs die set that I had in my stash and I thought it was the perfect size for my mouse.  I cut it out with white and purple cardstock.  

Next, I cut my embossed panel to be smaller than A2 size. 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued my mouse to my panel using foam squares so that my mouse could move.  I made sure to not glue the legs.  I love her holding a coffee.  I stamped a sentiment from STAMPlorations Holiday Mocha Feels for on white cardstock with black ink.  I cut it to be a fishtail banner.  I glued my panel to a white A2 card base and attached my sentiment with foam tape.  I embellished with snowflakes and added some white gel accents with a gelly roll pen.  I hope you like my card.  I had fun making it.  I love making her dance.

Pour Yourself A Latte

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to share my card using Pour Yourself A Latte Stamp and Coordinating Craft Dies from Kat Scrappiness.

Kat Scrappiness is having a Flash 48hr Sale.  No code needed. Shop the sale here. 40% off selected KS Exclusive items. Sale ends January 21, 2024 @Midnight PST.

I started out stamping and embossing some of the Latte Cups, Steam, and floral images with Versafine ink and clear embossing powder on Neenah Solar White 80lb. Cardstock.  I used my copic markers and Ohuhu Markers to color in my images and then used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.  Next, I cut out the A2 Qbert Quilt background die out with white cardtock.  I used the A2 Qbert Stencil to coordinate with the die-cut.  I then ink blended with Ground Espresso Distress ink.  I stamped the Swan Coffee Art with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf ink and heat embossed it using my clear embossing powder for the inside of my latte cup.   You can also use the die to cut out the art for more dimension.

I used a rectangle die from the Embossed Rectangle dies with white cardstock to ink blend with Ground Espresso Distress ink to lay my latte cup on.   I cut the rest of the die-cut using my paper trimmer.  I only wanted a small piece of the rectangle.  I also used the new Love is in the Air Stencil on my Qbert Quilt ink blended die-cut using 2 different brown inks.  Ground Espresso Distress ink and Lawn fawn Crunchy Leaf ink.  I love how it came out.  

I then used the Got Coffee Shadow Sentiment Craft Die using the word die only and cut it out with a aqua colored cardstock to match.  I used a copic marker and gave some shadows on my die-cut.  I glued everything to a Aqua A2 heavy weight cardstock card base using liquid glue.  Lastly, I embellished my card using the Sparkling Seashore embellishment Sprinkle Mix.  I hope you like my card.  It was so much fun to make.  I hope you take advantage of the 48hr Flash Sale at Kat Scrappiness.

Big Love Valentine Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Valentine card to share today using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Big Love.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I love this stencil.  Big Love is perfect for all occasions not just for Valentine's Day.  I first started out with watercolor paper.  I painted my paper purple using a Altenew paint pan set.  I used a purple paint pan and I painted it a few layers until I liked the look.  I then placed the Big Love Stencil over my background and I painted with a Yellow, pink, blue, and purple watercolor paint pans.  I went over it with lots of layers.  Some paints bled through but I still liked my results.

When my background was dry I cut it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size.  I stamped a sentiment from the Oodles Stamp set in black ink onto my panel as well as some hearts from the same stamp set.  Next, I glued my panel to a Pink A2 card base and glued some yellow clay embellishments to match.  I hope you like my card.  This is a great stencil to have in your stash and I hope you grab it.
