Happy Spring

My last entry/link up for the Spring coffee loving papercrafters blog hop.

Click on the above link to take you over to the hop page.  Play along!  There's always amazing inspiration from so many coffee loving papercrafters... or tea... or cocoa!

AND Sponsors!  Win prizes!  Woohoo!  A special thank you to the organizers of this event!  and the very generous sponsors.  These blog hops are my favorite and so much fun.  I appreciate all you do!

This card I created using the Unity coffee cup stamp again; colored with The Stamps of Life markers and a water pen.  I layered white on white cut with stitched rectangle dies from The Stamps of Life.I added few pearl embellishments, little epoxy heart and twine bow.


Coffee. Craft. Repeat.

YES!  Linking up this card for the SPRING coffee loving papercrafters blog hop.

This card has a picture of me.  haha.  Just kidding... but kinda. ;)  This one of my oldies but goodies and a favorite stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs called Crafty girl.  The Coffee sentiment and rings/stains is a fun little stamp set for Altenew. Stitched rectangle and stitched square dies are The Stamps of Life.  I colored it with The Stamps of Life markers and water pen.




May your coffee ....

kick in before reality!  HA!  Another link up for the SPRING coffee loving papercrafters blog hop! 

This is such a fun stamp set by Stamplorations/Big Grins.  I colored it with The Stamps of Life markers and a water pen.  The bunny I colored with white chalk pencil. Sadly, I didn't have good lighting when I took this, but I sponged versamark ink all along the flower border, bottom corner to top and wet embossed it with glitter EP. It looks pretty. :)  Stitched rectangle dies and papers are The Stamps of Life.


Beauty is being....

I have another entry for the hop. For more information on the hop, scroll down one post or click HERE.

I just recently bought this stamp set from Unity.  It's so pretty!  I could not resist!  AND it was on sale, so woohoo!  I used it with the Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard rectangle flip it card die set.  I colored it with markers from The Stamps of Life and a water brush. Papers are TSOL.

Pudgie..

Here's a little mouse you're going to love.  Mousepudgie2stamp, plus dies. So cute!  I hear it's going to be a new line of stamps with different pudgie animals. How fun! 

Here are two cards I created using this new set:

There's pudgie!  I added some little google eyes. :) I created the cheese card base with the tsol circle die set. I inked the under color with banana ink, and then sprayed it all with some mist spray I had in my stash. I need to find more. Anyway.... that's how I created that card. The mouse is colored with tsol markers....

 This card is a mini step up card die set. The word bubbles are from the sizzix birds and tree set. papers tsol. :)
CUTE!  I look forward to finding out what the new pudgie animal will be. :)

Best Wishes

NEW today is a beautiful new circle die set that says Best Wishes. It's really pretty! Apparently, Stephanie made an error- in your favor! The price is awesome, so go get one now at The Stamps of Life. :) 

Here are two samples I created:

Here I used it on the front of a gate card using the sizzix half A2 card die set and panel die.
 For this card, I used the circle flip it card. It fits perfectly on it as does all the other circle word dies (see below, congrats).
 The stamps, bird die, and flowers are from hippo2stamp and it's coordinating die set.
