Christmas...

 Hello! I have a Christmas card to share today and will link up to two challenges. First! I decided to play along with Michelle Lupton's CASE me a Christmas card. 

It was a lot of fun. I hopped on IG seeing designers' CASE'd cards, and then I chose a card to CASE for a Christmas card.

Here is my card:

Coffee critters stamps by Gina K Designs. 

The card I chose by Michelle Peckham:

It's so adorable. I loved the design, so I copied that and also used critters. ♥️

Going on right now is the Falling for the Holidays Build your stash holiday cardmakers group linky hop.

I am also linking there. ❤️

P&M Oct. Card challenge

 Hello! I'm linking up a card for the Pink and Main October card challenge. All things Fall...

My card:

I received this cute little Pink and Main stamp and die set in the mystery box I purchased earlier this year, so I thought I'd give it a go! Halloween is Fall! I kept it pretty simple. Love the little bucket faces. 🎃

 So if you use Not 2 Shabby stamps stamps, you can submit up to three cards for the mood board link ups, so..... I am! 😁

October Mood Board

Using the September Stamp of the Month, I think I've made enough cards to justify my purchase. Right?! Haha

I pulled from the colors and coffee/cocoa.

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.
