Helloooo! Happy March! I have a Caffeinated Christmas card to link up over at the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge blog!

I tried a little watercolored scene which needs improvement, but for the most part I'm happy with it. Plus, the moose is soooo darn cute it doesn't even matter. Haha. I just got that stamp set from Colorado Stamp Company. 

My scene was created using stamps from Sweet n Sassy Stamps and Visual Image Stamps.

Coffee holding moose + green trees and green pj's 😁

It's time for wood block Wednesday for February, and I'm sneaking in just in time as link up ends tomorrow. 

Here's my card I created with this cute little stamp set -of four, actually; I only used 2 for this card.  Recollections from Michaels for $1.07: pretty cute! I like they are round. 😁

I inksmooshed, and stamped images in black.

Thinking of you is Miss Ink Stamps, Every day sentiments.

Die set used is Avery Elle wonky stitches.

I still have fibers, etc. In my stash from when they were popular, back in the day. 😁

DTCB 160 +

Hello!! I am here to share and link up a card for the Double Trouble Challenge blog #160 challenge and the Creative Creases challenge #76 - they are new to me, but it's their anniversary! 🥳

Here's my card I created:

I created a step up card as my fun fold (Thing 1 and 2 requirements) and used one of my favorite Art Impressions stamp sets- frogs! Frogs hop and leap, so that meets the Thing 3 requirement. 

Have a hoppy day!

PB SATURDAY Challenge

Hello! I'm back again to share another card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for February that I am guest designing for, and to remind you to participate, too! 😊

Anything goes with the optional, add wings:

I used the same set I used on my previous post, Penny Black Chick to Chick.  Chicks have wings! I stamped and colored with colored pencils; layered with Catherine Pooler dies. I sprayed the entire card with shimmer spray. 

JB challenge

 The February challenge over at Jaded blossom is stencils!

 Hello! Coffee + hearts is the current challenge over at the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge blog #26

My card:

The mugs are from the new stamp set Love is in the air  from Miss Ink Stamps and the sentiment is from an Impression Obsession stamp set.

I ink smooshed the bkg, stamped directly onto it, then colored with colored pencils. Added glitter to mug hearts and then sprayed the entire thing with dylusions shimmer spray white linen. Then glued it onto a stitched border diecut piece of gold cardstock before attaching it to a base. 

Penny Black...

 Happy New Year! I can't believe it's already the end of January already. There's still a couple more days left to participate in Double Trouble Challenge blog 157

My card meets the requirements for Thing 1 and 3 with the optional extras of a winter sport (sledding) and add a hat (bears wearing hats). 

I used a stencil from Craft Treat called Winter Village for my background. It stencils the village line and has snow which faded out a little. I added flicks of white for more snow. 😁

The cute, playful bear stamps are from Penny Black called Snow Cute. Wishing you happy holidays is Miss Ink Stamps Season's greetings sentiment stamp set. 

I am linking up for Thing 2, but I'm not sure if it's "countryish" enough; Thing 2 is to link up for their collaboration with Farm Quest Challenge Blog #44

AND because I inked up and used my super cute new Penny Black stamp set that I won as blog candy from the last Coffee Loving cardmakers blog hop. I'm linking it up to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge

JB January.....

 The January challenge over at Jaded Blossom Stamps is anything goes!

It's been a long while since I joined in. I miss JB. 

I pulled out a stamp set I haven't used much, and created a simple card with coordinating envelope:

Front and inside/back. I used JB internal scallop rectangle die. The stamp set is called paper hoarder.

The paper is something I've been hoarding 😉 in my stash. Idk who makes it.

Wow! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I mailed out 73 Christmas cards for 2023, and a good portion of those were caffeinated. Lol. 

I'm here to link up a card for the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge 25 

My card:

I won some fun blog candy from the fall/winter hop from Caffeinated crafty friend, Kimberly W., which included this bkg paper, snowflake tag, twine, and fun puffy stickers.  

I die cut the bkg paper with Kat scrappiness distressed edged die. The Season's Greetings is a die from The Stamps of Life.
