My card using the September stamp of the month ☕️❤️

Not 2 shabby

 Hello! I'm playing along with the Not 2 Shabby Mood Board for September.  

My first time! This month is coffee and fall colors, both things I love! 

I used the Not 2 Shabby stamp and die set Beachfront Cafe for the Coffee theme and I used the mood board fall color pallette for my card inspiration:

I do live in San Diego where you can go to the beach year-round. 😁

P&M SEPT CHALLENGE

 Hello! Happy September! I created a card last night for Pink and Main's September card Challenge: favorite things 

I just got a P&M envelope of fun goodies on Friday. This was my first time inking up the Pumpkin Spice Cuties set. Coffee and all the things Fall are favorite things of mine. 

I also used the Crosshatch dienfrom P&M. I inked it, embossed it with a wood folder, then crinkled it up in my hand and "flattened" it back out. 

I just got that P&M simple mug die, too. I love it. I would like a mug just how I deigned this one. 😊

I've recently been playing around coloring using my Prisma color colored pencils dipped into water and coloring directly onto my stamped paper. I used mixed media paper. It gives it a textured appearance.  Do you like it? I'm still experimenting and deciding, but I am happy with how this owl and mug turned out.  😊

*The bkg embossing folder is not P&M.

P&M Aug

 Hi! The Pink and Main card challenge for August is a sketch!

My card:

I used the P&M stamp and die  set Thanks a Latte, and Cozy Critters stamp set. Papers are also P&M that I got in the mystery box I bought. 

Cardbase is SU! Tree bark embossing folder. 

Christmas in July

 I didn't think I was going to finish this card in time,  but I did! My last link up for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party : Christmas in July.

I used stamps and papers by Whimsy stamps. 

Christmas in July

 I cranked out another card for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party: Christmas in July. 

And by cranked... that's a slow turn. It took me all night and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but someone will receive it. Lol! 

It's a grungy watercolor. Although, I colored the dogs with colored pencils. The whole thing is sprayed with fairy mist. 

The bkg stencil is A Colorful Life Designs and the dog tree stamp set is Unity Stamp Com

The wonky stitched circle die is Kat Scrappiness.

It's slowly, but surely... getting some Christmas cards made for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party: Christmas in July. 

I just recently got this set by Colorado Craft Company,  and it's so cute! I watercolored it quickly....

The sentiment on bottom right is Waffleflower crafts.

 Happy Monday! I'm back with another card for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party Christmas in July. 

Here's my card for today. I also used the Byshc sketch for this month:

I switched the circles because it didn't look good the other way, since my penguin is facing left. 😁

Stamps are Unity Stamp Co. 

Christmas in July

I'm back with another holiday card for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party Christmas in July!

I made this card last night using a Pink and Main stamp/die set called Fa La Llama.

All other dies are TSOL.

Christmas in July

 I have another Christmas card made and ready to link up for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party : Christmas in July. 

My card:

The floor stamp is Ink blot shoppe, but the rest are pink and main as is the stencil for the background. 

I used arch dies to create hole and frame. I embossed the Brick background, inked with brick red distress ink and then blot it with a baby wipe. I like how it turned out.
