Sizzix drop in script

This is a really pretty drop in set by Sizzix; just released today at The Stamps of Life!

Script words.

I don't make shaker cards often, but I had a lot of fun with this card.  It's awful to photograph.  I'll be posting a video on IG. You can click over (and follow me ;) ) to the right of this page.

I used two layers of the script word dies so love is at the top and the heart border is at the bottom. I used clear acetate and embossed it with the sizzix butterfly embossing folder. I filled the shaker with sequins from TSOL.

 you are so kind is part of the drop in script set to, but i cut the words out of the frame to put it on the inside of the card. So closed, you can see all three...  :) papers are tsol.

 happy birthday....

 you are so kind.... thank you stamp is sizzix.

I created this card using stamps by A creative journey with Melissa. 

Coffee

Today is the last day to link up for the Fall Coffee Lover's blog hop... just a few hours left!  I hope to sneak in one more, but....

Right now, I'm linking up this card:

This was a pretty quick and easy card.  I used stamps and a coffee stencil by Create a Smile Stamps.
I used versamark ink in the corners and heat embossed fantage. I colored the coffee cup with chameleon markers. brown ink by TSOL.

COFFEE: liquid sanity

Tomorrow is the last day of the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop!  I'm linking up another card, below.

I used the Sizzix/SB MINI happy day step up card die set, along with stamps by Stamplorations called Coffee Happy. I used papers from my stash and colored the some of the images with Chameleon  pens.

Thinking of you..

Last link up for today.  This is my 3rd card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog hop.  See previous post for details and links.  These hops are my favorite!  So much inspiration if you love coffee/cocoa/tea!  Great sponsors and awesome crafting people.  :) 

I created this card using a a Tim Holtz set I couldn't resist.  It came with the embossing folder, stamps and dies. :) 

A pretty simple card. I inked over the embossed areas to make the images pop.  The cup layer is cut with a stitched rectangle die from TSOL.  

I need coffee right meow!

The Fall Coffee Lover's blog hop is going strong!  Sept. 23-30th. Click here for more details and to play along!  :)

This is my 2nd link up!  After my morning hike with my pup, instead of cleaning, I made cards!  Sssshhh.  Don't tell!  ;) 

Using The Stamps of Life grid 2 die set, and leaves from Sizzix/SB happy thanksgiving 3d drop in sentiment set, and sizzix/sb tags (and words), I created this card.  The Stamps are from Newton's Nook and it's a set called Newton loves coffee.  It's so cute!  I had to have it.  "I need some coffee right MEOW!" makes me laugh! Inks are TSOL and I colored Newton and the cups with my Chameleon pens.

There are new dies available at The Stamps of Life today!

One of them is a circle die set "Thank you".  Here's a card I created using that die set along with another circle die to cut it out (note: this set is the circle thank you and the heart border. it will stay in the card, not cut it out):

For this card I also used the Kind sentiment step up card die set, cherries2stamp, patterns4cherries, matching cherry dies, and papers, inks, and embellishments TSOL.
