All I Want For Christmas Is More Coffee

 Hello everyone.  I have another coffee card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Yay.





I just love this bear from Darcie's Heart & Home Yeti To Party Stamp Set.  I stamped it on Hammermill paper 100 pound with Memento Tuxedo black ink.  I colored it in with my alcohol markers and then fussy cut it out with a white border.  



I used 2 stencils from A Colorful Life Designs New Release Christmas Coffee and Snowflake Grid.  I ink blended the Snowflake Grid stencil with Lost Shadow distress ink and for the sentiment from Christmas Coffee with Festive Berries distress oxide ink. 


 I cut my background to be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I glued it to a kraft A2 card base.  I popped up my bear with my giant roll of foam tape from Therm O Web.  I found some snowflake sequins in my stash from Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends Hello Frosty.  I applied 3 to my card.  I used my white Gelly roll pen and added afew gel accents to the bear, To Go Coffee, and scarf.  That finishes my card.

Thank you!

Sending Fall Vibes

 Hello everyone.  I was able to make another card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop yay.  This is my favorite time of the year.  Hopeful I can make a few more cards.  Wish me luck!




I started out with a Simon Says Stamp set that I purchased maybe a few months ago called Pumpkin Spice Vibes.  I am a huge fan of Fall coffees like the Pumpkin Spice and I love it hot and cold.  I stamped my images onto Hammermill paper 100 pound with Memento tuxedo black ink.  I then used my alcohol markers to color them in.  After, I fussy cut everything out leaving a white border.


I found some pattern paper in my stash and I thought it was perfect.  I cut it A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I also found some burlap per from DCWV so I cut that to be about 3 1/2 x 3 I believe.  I glued everything to a white A2 card base with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment from the same Pumpkin Spice Vibes stamp using lawn Fawn Doe ink and my stamping platform.  I cut my sentiment down and applied foam tape to the back.  I found some matching sequins and applied those to my card.  I love how it came out.


Thank you.

Coffee is Always A Good Idea

 Hello everyone.  I have a coffee card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I hopped yesterday and Jessical Lynn Original had a free digi called Xmas Flowers so I decided to download it and use it for a Fall card.  It's a really beautiful digital stamp and Jessica is always so kind to gift a free digi.  





I started out printing my images on white paper 100 pound.  I googled a Fall floral bouquet image.  I love google.  It showed me a pretty orange and purple bouquet.  I love purple.  I used a mix of copic markers and Ohuhu to color my image.  Next, I fussy cut my image out.  I cut some pattern paper that's Fall and embossed from a older 12x12 paper pack from Michaels.  I cut it to be shorter than A2 size 4 x 5 1/4.  I found some gingham paper in my stash I believe it's from MFT Stamps.  I cut a strip and glued them to a kraft A2 card base.


  I stamped a sentiment from Journals For Life But First Coffee Stamp set using Catherine Pooler Sangria ink.  I cut my sentiment using my mini paper trimmer.  I popped up my image with Therm O Wen foam tape and glued my sentiment to my card with liquid glue.  I embellished my card with some card bling from A Colorful Life Designs and that finishes my Fall card.  I can't wait to use this digi for a Christmas Card now.

Thank you 💗

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 51

 Hello everyone and Happy November.  We have a New sketch 51 for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers.  I think you'll love it.




I decided to make a card using some Tree dies.  I thought the sketch was really fun and easy and you could just use pattern paper for a easy card.  The 6x6 paper I used is from Doodlebug called Here Comes Santa Claus. I also used some plain paper.  I just cut it accordingly to the sketch.


The tree dies are from MFT Stamps called Cool Christmas Trees.  I ink blended my trees with Rustic Wilderness and Ground espresso distress ink.  I used a sentiment from the Doodlebug paper pack and cut it with my paper trimmer.  Everything was glued to a green A2 card base.  I hope you join this months sketch we have a sponsor.









Poinsettia Card

 Hello everyone.  Happy November.  A Colorful Life Designs has a New Release.  It's the last one for the year, but it's a really good one.  Stencils to help with your Holiday Cards.




I love this New layered Poinsettia Stencil that is a 6x9 stencil.  I chose to make a notecard.  I love that this design is easy to batch.  You can make 5 or 25 of them.  I used a A2 110 pound card base. I used Concord & 9th inks in Cranberry and Evergreen.  I used black ink for the center of the Poinsettia.





I used a older STAMPtember collaboration stamp with Gina K Designs and Simon Says Stamp called Shimmering Snowflakes for the sentiment that I stamped in black ink.  I embellished with some green card bling and that finishes my card.  I love how it came out.  I cut my card to be 5 1/4 x 4 1/4 so it's smaller than A2 and fits easier in a notecard envelope.  You can check out the New Release here

Fun Holiday Cards Today Using A Quick And Easy Stencil

 Hello everyone.  I cannot believe this month is almost over.  The year has passed by so fast.  I have some easy Holiday cards since Christmas will be here before you know it.



I chose to use Extra Grinchy 6x6 Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs October 2024 Release.  I started out making one card and I really needed 2 show you how easy and fun these cards are to batch in no time.  You can use my code VonFan10 to save on your next purchase.  


On green paper 110 pound, I used the stencil and ink blended with evergreen ink from Concord & 9th.  I love how you get the sentiment too so you don't need to search your stash.  I cut this background to be 4 x 51/4,  I layered it on a red A2 panel and glued them to a A2 card base.  No embellishments and it's flat ready to be mailed.


And here is my other card.  I did the same just opposite.  I used black dye ink for this one.  So fun and easy.  I had so much fun making them.
