This may be my last link of for the Byshc Spring into Christmas blog linky party as I don't think I'll have time to get another done....  but glad I was able to participate and get a few done this linky party. It's always fun and a good excuse to get those Christmas cards made. 😁

I made this card last night ink blending with oxide inks, and used A Colorful Life Designs stencil Faded Lines (VanessaFan10 for order savings) with a Unity Stamps stamp set, and dies from Gina Marie Designs. 

The blue frame is popped up with dimensional tape. 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Greetings! Happy Friday! My last guest post of the month. Thank you, Coffee Loving Card Makers, for having me. 

I created this card using a Super sponsor Stamplorations stamp set called Coffee Happy by Shery Russ. I masked off the coffee pot after I stamped it to get the cups closer. Colored with alcohol inks and colored pencils.

The coffee bean steam stencil is Super Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs . As a design team member, I have a code for you, VanessaFan10, for savings on your entire order. 

The wonky stitched border die is a super sponsor Avery Elle Stamps die set that I bought thru Super Sponsor Doodlebugs .

The inside of the card: 

  

No truer words. Lol!

Stay caffeinated my friends!

Cheers!

Hey! I'm back with another card for the Byshc Spring into Christmas blog linky party.

I used the Cuddlebug frog stamp set from Unity Stamps. I stamped the frog onto watercolor paper and masked him off, then stenciled on the Striking Flower stencil for the bkg in Oxide inks: Rustic Wilderness and Crushed Olive. That stencil is from A Colorful Life Designs which if you'd like to order from them I have a code to save you money: VanessaFan10.  

I inked over the stenciled in area with Oxide Inks Tumbled glass and Broken China, sprayed with water and a shimmer spray, then patted it with a paper towel. I removed the mask, watercolored the feog, stamped tis the season, attached my card front to a base and I was done. 😊

Hello! I am very much enjoying wood block wednesday challenges. Maybe a little too much as I've bought more wood stamps since I started playing. Lol. 

Like this house mouse stamp for example, I just bought it on clearance at hobby lobby.

The stencil for the bkg is Pink and main. The sentiment in on the left is from a Precious Rememberence set and the sentiment on the right is from a Newton's Nook set. Dies are Gina Marie Design.

Here's my first link up: I used the Big Arrowhead stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (VanessaFan10 for order savings as I'm on their DT). I inkblended with oxide inks, added Merry Christmas die cuts (tsol) and then ran in thru my spellbinders with a Gina K Designs Christmas embossing folder. I lightly rubbed gold metallic. Quick and easy... and pretty. 😊

It's not always about coffee... tea is good, too. I enjoy unsweetened iced tea or a good cinnamon-y hot tea. How about you? Speaking of tea.... it's National Tea Day today, April 21st! 

With that said, I have a tea themed card to share with you all today. 

This was a pretty quick card to make. It's an A2 card and I have a dark brown cardstock card base, the pretty loopy rectangle die to cut out of white, the  a smaller in patterned paper. The pretty nestled die set is from Super sponsor Gina Marie Designs. 

The sweet little bunny tea stamps with coordinating dies are Super sponsor The Rabbit Hole Designs, and it's named Bunny Brew. 

To somebunny special is from a stamp set called Springtime bunnies from Super Sponsor Miss Ink Stamps. 

Sending you some positivitea 😁 is a Super sponsor Gerda Steiner Designs set called Positivi-tea.

Have a to-TEA-lly great weekend.

Polka dots

Using polka dots is the challenge requirement for the Jaded Blossoms April challenge.

Here's my card using the following JB items: Rise and Shine stamp set, sunflower stencil, and internal scallop rectangle die. The polka dot stencil is not JB, but! JB has one if you need one. 😊

Caffeinated hugs! Happy Friday! I'm happy to be back as a guest designer at The Coffee Loving Cardmakers. 

Today I am sharing this mini slimline card I created by stamping, stenciling and coloring. I used the stamp set Coffee Time AALL & CREATE that I got from super sponsor Top Flight Stamps.

The coffee rainbow is a stencil that was a free with purchase release special a year or two ago from super sponsor Miss Ink Stamps, so I apologize that it's no longer available; I love it and it was perfect for this whimsical card. 

I lightly inksmooshed blue oxide ink on watercolor paper for the background sky.... 

Isn't she cute and fun?  

The bees are from super sponsor Honeybee Stamps. The set is Busy bees. I decided to replace the traditional flying  trails with coffee bean flying trails. I cut off one of the tiny beans from the bean stamp in the AALL set. I loved how it turned out. 

For the inside: The first sentiment (today's forecast) is from super sponsor Gina Marie Designs and the set is called Adult Coffee Sentiments. The 2nd sentiment is from Casual Fridays.

Have a great day!

Cheers!

Coffee Loving...

 Hello! I am so excited to be a guest designer for The Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for the month of April. 

I am always happy to make caffeinated cards ☕️☕️  

For my first share, I have a funny coffee card.

😂 

I created this card using stamps and stencils from a new super sponsor, A Colorful Life Designs . I am on the Design Team and have a code VanessaFan10 for a 10% savings for you, on your entire order (excluding bundle deals), if you decide to shop. 

My background was created by dipping this newly released stencil called BALL JUMBLE into watery oxide ink on my gel press, then I pressed watercolor paper onto the stencil. It was kind of a messy accident and as you can see a lot of the pattern was lost; however, I ended up loving it. Using the stencil COFFEE POT, I stenciled on the pot, coffee, steam and heart(s). 

Then I stenciled CAFFEINE QUEEN onto the pot of coffee, and stamped the sentiment from the COFFEE STAMP SET; glued to black cardstock mat, then glued to top folding A2 card base, I was ready for the inside...

I stamped Decaf as the joke punchline. 

Then I thought it would be funnier to add the bottom sentiment which is from another super sponsor The Rabbit Hole Designs . It's from a retired sentiment set called Perfectly blended.

Have a great day!
