Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021 - Entry #3

 Hello again!

I'm squeaking under the wire with one last entry for the

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021!

This card features another adorable image by 

Your Next Stamp (one of the hop sponsors)

called Coffee Characters stamp set

and coordinating dies.  I also used one of the 

YNS paper packs called Birthday Girl and the current 

sketch from Your Next Stamp Challenge #172

This time I flipped the orientation of the sketch though.

The sentiment is from another coffee set called 

Sprinkles Coffee and Tea.

Off to bed I go so I can wake up

and have a big cup of joe!

Caffeinated hugs! D

Fall Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021 - Entry #2

 Hello friends! I'm back again with a second entry in the 

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021!

One of the sponsors of this awesome event is Your Next Stamp.

I had purchased this adorable coffee related stamp set

awhile ago but hadn't had the chance to use it yet.

Until today - whoot whoot!

Here's my card using the Coffee Characters stamp set

and coordinating dies.  I also used one of the 

YNS paper packs called Birthday Girl and the current 

sketch from Your Next Stamp Challenge #172

As you can see I followed the sketch pretty closely. 

I'd love a mug of coffee so big I could sit in it

before I have to go to work lol! 

Thanks for sharing with me today.  

Caffeinated Hugs to you!

A CUPPA THANKS

Happy Wednesday crafty friends!

I'm sitting here sipping on my first cup of coffee

and getting ready for the work day.  

Feeling especially grateful to the wonderful

person that came up with coffee - what a lifesaver!

I made a coffee related card to espresso my

love of coffee (see what I did there?) 

The sweet stamp set is called 

Sprinkles - Coffee and Tea by Your Next Stamp

Sometimes I feel like that's how I want to drink

my coffee - just dive right in LOL.

I'm sharing this card in the following challenges.

Guest Designer - Krafty Chicks Challenges #446 - Shades of Green Only

Howdy!  Hope you're having a wonderful day!

This is my second week of Guest Designing for

the Krafty Chicks Challenges.  Such an honor

to be playing with the talented Chicks!

The theme for this week -  Challenge #446 

is Shades of Green Only.

My brain literally went straight to shamrocks and

St. Patty's Day because of the holiday (there is not

one tiny little bit of Irish in my DNA), but you could 

also interpret this as Spring or nature (trees/grass etc.)

The trick is that we ONLY want to see shades of green

- no other colors except neutrals and skin tones. 

I found this Doodlebug Designs paper in my stash

and colored and die cut some adorable Silly Monsters from 

Your Next Stamp for my Shades of Green card.

I stamped each image in a light grey ink instead

of the traditional black for a no-lines look.  

Aren't they funny?!

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Your Next Stamp (YNS) Fun Friday Challenge #109 - Patterned Paper

Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges FFC#272 Always Anything Goes

Crafty Gals Corner: Challenge #187 Add a Shamrock/Clover

I hope that you'll decide to play along with us this 

week and show us how you interpret the

Shades of Green Only challenge. 

The Krafty Chicks DT have some

really awesome green creations to share

with you so go check them out too!  

Thanks for visiting me today!  Hugs! D

(so far) to share with you.  Here's my first one featuring an 

adorable stamp set from YOUR NEXT STAMP (one of the 

hop's Super Sponsors) called ELLIE LOVES LATTES 

(and the coordinating die cut).  I also used some gorgeous 

plaid papers from the 6 x 6 paper pack Winter Plaid.

Happy Birthday to a Reel-y Awesome Guy

Hello friends!

Tomorrow is my son's 24th birthday!

Wow does that make me feel OLD lol!

He arrived about a month early at 5:45 AM

weighing just 5 pounds 5 ounces.  It was LOVE

at first sight and I knew my life would be forever better.

Unfortunately I won't be able to see him on his birthday

(it's hard when they live away from their mamas), but

I will call him bright and early and sing to him

(hope he answers the phone this year hehehe).

One of his favorite things to do is fish

so I used a "reely" fun stamp set from 

Your Next Stamp to make his card this year.

The sketch for YNS Challenge #76 made it 

easy to put his card together quickly.

and here's the inside too

I'm entering this card in the YNS Sketch Challenge #76

The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge & Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #59

Hello friends and followers!  I've been coloring a little

something every day this month as part of 

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge (March 2017).

The idea is to color something every day this month - 

even if it's just for a few minutes.    

So far I've been successful with the coloring part

but have only actually finished two cards to share.

On Day 7 I colored the tiny little sun shown below. 

Today - Day 15 - I had some fun water coloring 

the background panel and finished this card

using the little sun I has colored earlier too!

This adorable stamp set is from Your Next Stamp. 

It's called Little Notes and it also has coordinating dies.

I used the YNS Sketch Challenge #59 for my design.

KRAFTIN KIMMIE STAMPS NEW Release Feb 2017 BLOG HOP

Happy Sunday and Hello!

Today we have a really fun BLOG HOP 

for you showcasing the awesome NEW Release 

this month at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS! 

Woohoo! It's finally here!
ALL of the FOUR new clear stamp sets for February
are now in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop and

we're celebrating with a Krafty HOP!
So grab a nice hot beverage, sit back and relax while you hop
around and enjoy all the amazing creations from the
Krafty Design Team and Guests!!

Such a terrific month - especially for those who like masculine

images.  I think Kimmie and her artists have knocked it out of the park!

My card today features another fantastic guy image from

"SPORTY BOYS" which I've colored up like my

best friend's son's uniform so I can send it to him.

I didn't have any baseball papers so I made my own

using this terrific die cut panel (Your Next Stamp) as

my guide.  I cut the sentiment into individual words so 

it would fit on the large baseball (Simple Stories "So Rad" collection).

I did some more doodling to make the baseballs and added 

my favorite embellishment to use on cards - enamel dots.

Kinda fun huh?!  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Creations Challenges #334 - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #315 Anything Goes

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps NEW Release PEEKS Feb 2017 and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE

Hello Hello Hello! 

Today at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

we have the ANYTHING GOES theme for
this week AND another PEEK at the awesome 

NEW RELEASE stamps for February 2017.

AND the  LIVE Online Release party is this afternoon!

Aren't you just loving the peeks so far? 

Today we have another awesome set for the boy atheletes
by artist Emilie Goulet called "SPORTY BOYS".

An awesome set with two boys and some
very fun sentiments!!!

Such a great set to use for boys - but I'd love to receive a
with one of them on it too!  I absolutely adore this set!

Here's my peek card to share with you today
 

This is my year of trying things that push me a bit

out of my comfort zone creatively.  I love the look

of doodling but always struggle with it.  I decided 

to just go for it and not to try and  make it "perfect".

It is, after all, doodling :o).

The other thing I don't do a lot of is CAS and leaving a 

a borderless card base.  With this card it was easy because 

I used a panel of patterned paper sized was 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Your Next Stamp) that looks very much like a card stock base. 

I popped up the main panel with a foam sheet (SugarPea Designs)

for more dimension.  I really do love how it turned out <3.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack Challenge #175 "Anything Goes"

Crafting with Friends Challenge #36 - Anything Goes

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #145 "Anything Goes"

during release weeks) is ANYTHING GOES! So create a card, scrapbook 

page or altered item with any stamp but if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday Challenge - Mermaid Friends & Oceans of Love

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and followers!

I'm not sure if I think this week is going by slowly or too fast.

 Too fast for all the crafty projects I want to get done

and too slow for the weekend to be here - LOL.

But here's the best news about today...it's time

for another fun Wonderful Wednesday challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!!  

The theme as it always is for the Wednesday challenges

is ANYTHING GOES!  Who doesn't like that right?!

and use any stamp or crafty medium you wish.

Just have fun with it and share it with us for an 

opportunity to win some Krafty $ to spend in the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store - whoo hoo!!

My card today uses one of the brand newest 

stamps from the beautiful MERMAID FRIENDS

and a sentiment from OCEANS OF LOVE (currently

sold out but will be back soon) - take a look:

I've been seeing the use of vellum a lot lately so I thought

I'd pull some out of my stash and play with it at bit

Those waves are actually the puffy cloud border dies from

Your Next Stamp.  I think it turned out kind of fun ;o).

I used the sketch from MOJO Monday #449 this week

(as you can see I flipped the orientation of it though)

for the layout.  I also wanted to play along with 

the current challenge at 613 Avenue Create #177

which is Anything Goes w/optional twist of  

Create your Own Challenge Series.  I used

the A2 Card type, Thinking of you as the event, and 

gold/metallic and sequins for the trends part of the challenge.

Hello sweet friends and followers.
A special hello to my two newest followers -
thanks for joining me on my creative journey!

I hope you've been having a wonderful weekend

I had a wonderful crafty play date with a few of

some time to play in my craft room this afternoon 

for just a quick bit and made this card to share in the

SPRING COFFEE LOVER'S BLOG HOP.

all the fabulous entries and visiting the amazing
super sponsors for this fun event.  I was so

King of the Crib - Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #22

Hello friends! Things have been a bit quiet on my blog

this past week.  I thought once school started things would 

kind of slow down again but things have gotten a bit crazier

and busier instead.  Hmmm...what's up with that?  

I did find time to make a special request card for a

new baby boy that is on his way soon.   Take a look:

The nursery is decorated in a jungle theme. 

I used the super sweet stamp set from Your Next Stamp

called "King of the Crib, a fun die cut set from SugarPea Designs

called "Baby Diaper Pin", some ribbon from my stash and some super 

adorable Doodlebug Patterned Papers - Baby Boy. 

It's a bit difficult to see in the photo but I double layered the lion's head

(stamped it twice and fussy cut around one of them) and popped it up 

with glue dots for extra dimension.  It's way cute IRL! 

Here's the inside too:

My Time to Craft #298 - Sketch

Oh Hooray it's Saturday!!!!

And time for another challenge 

at MY TIME TO CRAFT - Whoop Whoop!

This week we have a terrific SKETCH for you to use.

Oh goodness....I LOVE circles in sketches!

Circles often signify feminine in my mind but

this time I knew immediately what I wanted to do 

for a masculine card.  I really thought about creating a

a circle shaped card but decided instead to use the circle

elements and make a square card. And...here's the end result:

The stamps (beer mug and sentiment) are from

Your Next Stamp "For the Boys" and the papers are

by Echo Park "Jack and Jill - boy".  FUN huh??! 

I think I'm going to save this one for my son's bday

in November. He turned 21 this year and has decided

that he really likes microbrews - so it's perfect for him!

(Although I hope he doesn't  have that look on his face - LOL)

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Your Next Stamp - Feature Day - Shaped Card

Hello friends - thanks for stopping by to visit me today!

Today is a special day for me as it is my husband and

my daughter's birthday.  He's gotten very used to sharing his

birthday with her and always says that she was his best present ever.

I do think they share a special bond because of it. 

It's also my my last post as an April Guest Designer 

for YOUR NEXT STAMP.

This challenge is to make something other than an A2
(standard 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" sized) card.  I  make lots of
square cards but seldom make shaped cards.
Not sure why as I have lots of layers dies that work
wonderfully for this style of card.

I pulled out those dies and got busy making this fun little creation
with an adorable stamp set called "Spring Birds"

Aren't these little birds so tweet?? Sorry - I couldn't help myself!

Doesn't this sentiment make you want to break into a song?

"Rockin Robin" comes to mind for me.  

I used lots of fun layers and a little paper piercing to add texture.

I snipped the very end of the bottom tip off so the card will stand up.

The overall size is approx 5 x 5 3/4" so it will fit in a 6x6 envelope.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Come and Get it Challenges - Things that Start with "B"

Crafty Creations - #287 Seeing Spots
Papertake Weekly - Cute as a Button
Addicted to Stamps - Challenge #141 Anything Goes

I have so enjoyed this opportunity to share my creations

using these wonderful stamps and being part of this

amazingly talented and creative group! 

Such a blessing for me! Thank you Karen and YNS Team!

Your Next Stamp - DT DARE

Hello sweet friends - thanks for visiting me today!

Have you enjoyed this week of different and fun creations 

from the Your Next Stamp April Release? 

I was over the moon impressed with all the amazing

creations from the awesome team and guest Kendra at YNS. 

Today I'm back (as a guest designer) for the DT DARE.

The DARE specifically is to put a feminine twist on our creations.

Here's my card using "Bookworms Rule  "

I think this set is my favorite as I was totally a bookworm

as a child and still love books today.  Take a look:

  I used another of the sentiments on the inside too

This stamp set would be perfect for a scrapbook page, 

the front of a journal, on a Project Life type card,

as a tag on a birthday gift to a book lover - I just LOVE it!! 

I hope you will go visit the rest of the lovely ladies at YNS 

and see what they have made for this dare.  

Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D
