 Hello! I made a card to link up to the Double Trouble Challenge blog 138. My card meets requirements for Thing 1, 2 and 3 😁  For more information on the challenge and/or to participate,  click on the link to take you there. 

I wanted to use new release products from Miss Ink Stamps

I used the new super cute Highland Cows stamp set along with the Splatter stencil. How cool is that? Do you like the look of splatter, but the unpredictability of it scares you? Like me? Haha.. this stencil is perfect. 😊

Dies are Catherine pooler and tsol.

This may be my last link of for the Byshc Spring into Christmas blog linky party as I don't think I'll have time to get another done....  but glad I was able to participate and get a few done this linky party. It's always fun and a good excuse to get those Christmas cards made. 😁

I made this card last night ink blending with oxide inks, and used A Colorful Life Designs stencil Faded Lines (VanessaFan10 for order savings) with a Unity Stamps stamp set, and dies from Gina Marie Designs. 


The blue frame is popped up with dimensional tape. 


Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Greetings! Happy Friday! My last guest post of the month. Thank you, Coffee Loving Card Makers, for having me. 

I created this card using a Super sponsor Stamplorations stamp set called Coffee Happy by Shery Russ. I masked off the coffee pot after I stamped it to get the cups closer. Colored with alcohol inks and colored pencils.


The coffee bean steam stencil is Super Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs . As a design team member, I have a code for you, VanessaFan10, for savings on your entire order. 

The wonky stitched border die is a super sponsor Avery Elle Stamps die set that I bought thru Super Sponsor Doodlebugs .


The inside of the card: 
  

No truer words. Lol!

Stay caffeinated my friends!
Cheers!

Hey! I'm back with another card for the Byshc Spring into Christmas blog linky party.

I used the Cuddlebug frog stamp set from Unity Stamps. I stamped the frog onto watercolor paper and masked him off, then stenciled on the Striking Flower stencil for the bkg in Oxide inks: Rustic Wilderness and Crushed Olive. That stencil is from A Colorful Life Designs which if you'd like to order from them I have a code to save you money: VanessaFan10.  

I inked over the stenciled in area with Oxide Inks Tumbled glass and Broken China, sprayed with water and a shimmer spray, then patted it with a paper towel. I removed the mask, watercolored the feog, stamped tis the season, attached my card front to a base and I was done. 😊

Hello! I am very much enjoying wood block wednesday challenges. Maybe a little too much as I've bought more wood stamps since I started playing. Lol. 

Like this house mouse stamp for example, I just bought it on clearance at hobby lobby.


The stencil for the bkg is Pink and main. The sentiment in on the left is from a Precious Rememberence set and the sentiment on the right is from a Newton's Nook set. Dies are Gina Marie Design.
