number seven....

The coffee loving papercrafters fall/winter blog hop is going on all week!  I'm back with my 7th link up!

I won an amazing package of coffee/tea stamps from Unity, Co. a couple of years ago from one of the coffee blog hops.... This set is one of them.

I colored it with prisma colored pencils/gamsol. It's layered onto pattern paper from The Stamps of Life October card kit club pad, and also used the stitched rectangle dies and stitched circle die from TSOL as well.

coffee card #6

This card was a really quick and easy one!  Linking up again for the fall/winter coffee loving paper crafters blog hop.

I used the Stamps of Life coffee cup fold it along with the October diehard club dies (pinecones2stamp dies), and Christmasgreetings2stamp to create this Christmas card.

#5 for the fallwinter2019clh

I'm back for another link up to the coffee loving paper crafters fall/winter 2019 blog hop!

I used the new coffee cup fold it from The Stamps of Life. It makes an A2 sized card... unless you put two together. 😉☕☕ I also used donut dies from TSOL. Mmm...  and coffee4two stamp set. I stamped on the envelope to make it complete.

2019 fall/winter coffee lovers hop #4

Linking up my 4th card to the fall/winter coffee lovers blog hop ..............

Last hop, I was a lucky winner and won an adorable stamp set from one of the hop's awesome sponsors-Art Impressions!  I'm using that set for this card:

I also used stitched circle dies, and a coffee word statement die from The Stamps of Life.

fallwinter2019clh #3

I had so much fun making my 3rd link up car for the Fall/Winter Coffee Loving blog hop.

I used the Stamps of Life fancy frame flip it card die set, along with their leaf dies and leaf2stamp set for the Thankful for you. I also used one of the dies from the scallop envelope liner die set that has hearts for my little heart embellishments.

 The turkey (and other word stamps) is from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I can not resist their caffeinated critters!!  Hilarious!  Seriously, he's so grouchy and wearing boxers! HA!

Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, apple cider..............  

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm super excited to share my first link up:

 How cute is this penguin fold it card!?  RELEASED TODAY at The Stamps of Life, Penguin fold it A2 card die set. Also used TSOL hot chocolate die set, and Christmasgreetings2stamp.

November 1st new releases

There's a whole lot of cuteness being released today at The Stamps of Life!  If you love penguins, that is.. who doesn't love penguins?!? They're adorable!  Ready.... lots of scrolling.....

The November stamp club and die hard club sets: Penguins2stamp, border die, and snow stencil which I used the picket fence blending brushes to apply the ink.

 This is the waddlepenguins2stamp and dies sets that I used with the penny slider die set so the cute little penguins can actually "waddle". I also used the border dies, and the small dotted background die as a stencil.....

 inside....

 in action. lol

and....

PENGUIN fold it die!  CUTENESS!!! It's an A2 card of one penguin, but I made two, glued them together and added some penguin kids for a whole family.  It fits nicely in a 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 envelope which I also decorated.

word stand up cards- CHRISTMAS!

Do you have the word stand up card die set?  If not, you need it!  It's so fun and sure to wow your recipients, BUT.. so easy to do since it's a die set from The Stamps of Life!

It comes with the word HELLO (and other decorative dies like flowers), AND there's an extra word die set you can purchase to go along with it, LOVE THANKS and SMILE. NOW there's CHRISTMAS WORD EXTRAS. The Christmas set is MERRY NOEL and HOHOHO

Here's a card I created using the Merry word, along with the Christmas statement set, Santa Claus is coming to town die, stitched rectangle die, snowflakes from the snowflake background die, santa hat from hats4critters, and a saying from sayings4santa.  Look how festive and fun! 

and other using with the NOEL... I added an ornament topper to the O, the floral/snowflake pieces come with the main set, and happy holidays is a new word die from TSOL.

Christmas is right around the corner..... 

must have dies!

Must have all new Stamps of Life dies, but ..... here are two you really need!  

This one you may already have as this is a RE-Release, a Stephanie Barnard Design from another company and NOW a Stamps of Life die. Yay!  If you don't have it.......... get it. Isn't it just beautiful?  It comes with the circle happy birthday die, but you can use this base for any of card making occasions.


It's the Floral Happy Birthday Drop in card die set.

 I am sooooo excited about this die!  Snowflakes!!  First, this is a snowflake background die, so it creates a beautiful snowflake background, BUT you can use the snowflake pieces as embellishments, so you're going to get a lot of use out of this for your winter/holiday cards. This card I used it with the cute morereindeer2stamp/die set along with the ribbon border die set, and a shape from the fancy frame flip it set.

Another idea using the snowflake background on part of the card, again with the ribbon border die set (this is a fave of mine!) and the hotchocolate2stamp/die set (but I prefer to make it coffee. lol).

AND.... you can also use the background die as a stencil!  On this card front, I used white ink on blue card stock and it came out so soft and pretty looking. Then I stenciled inside with blue.  The mittens2stamp and die set is another favorite......

ribbon edge card die set

NEW! at The Stamps of Life.... the Ribbon Edge A2 card die set and it's soooo pretty and the possibilities are endless. 

It uses the drop in technique so have different options on die cutting your card fronts (check out the website link above to see). Here are two cards I created to share with you:

This one I dropped in the dotted heart onto the card front with the dotted swirl.  Simple, but pretty!  I used the sayings4jar stamps (and dies), along with the ribbon border dies to create this card.

 Did you see this month's stamp club and die hard club set yet?  Pinecones2stamp!  So pretty!  I used that here with the new ribbon edge card set.  I used the card front with a solid swirl, but did not drop in anything in the middle. I decided to add the pinecones and flower die (comes with the card die set) instead.  

pinecones....

...2stamp is what you get this month for the Stamps of Life stamp club and die hard club sets, and it's beautiful!!

Here is a card I created just stamping. I sponged green over the pine needle stamps.... I also added a little smooch to the pinecones and sprayed the whole thing with shimmer spray (not from tsol). That huge season's greetings is a die that is part of the die set. WOW! 

 and then a more fun card 'cause you know the sets have to have some punny sayings, so I paired it up with the owl pudgie.  I created my own background paper using the stamps and then I used the small circle background die as a stencil over it. The word bubble dies are from a past card club kit.
