Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

I've been playing along with the

Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop

Since Saturday and I've really been enjoying it!

This is my last card for the hop - I know there is

still time to make more, but I'm happy with the

few cards I've already made! Maybe for the

Fall/Winter Hop I'll have way more done and

ready to share! :)

Here's my Last Coffee Card --

I think this turned out awesome! I had fun playing with

the Jaded Blossom (Java Time) Stamp set

I used some Memento Rich Cocoa & Desert Sand ink

 for my Coffee Bean Background -

I die cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle Die

Then grabbed a piece of Doodlebug Dotted Paper

and cut a 3/4" strip for the front of my card

Then I picked a piece of Dark Red Scrap Cardstock

and die cut the scallop border die from the

My Creative Time (Fun Stitched Edges)

I used some Annie's Paper Boutique (Trendy Twine) in Krafty Red

wrapping it around the card front - then making a quadruple bow

I used my Zig Real Brush pens to color up the sweet
girl holding her cup of coffee and I used my clear
Wink of Stella glitter pen on her headband and cup
The Smile sentiment was stamped on with some
Memento Rich Cocoa ink and I die cut the
sentiment out with the Mini Tag Dies 2 from Jaded Blossom

This will be great to send off to a crafty friend!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!

Espresso Hello...

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

Happy Memorial day as well!!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend 

with Friends and family - 

I've been enjoying it by making some coffee

cards - not something I normally do -

But have to say it's been fun! :)

I'm playing along with the 

Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop

I don't own tons of coffee Stamps and dies (YET) -

So I'm using what I do have and the 

Coffee Break Stamp & Die Set from My Creative Time

is a Wonderful Set to get you started or add to your collection!

The Large background splatter is from Super Sponsor

Your Next Stamp - It's one of my favorite splatter stamps!

I stamped it in Memento Rich Cocoa & in Lady Bug Red

Then I die cut it out with a Wonky Stitch Die

from My Favorite Things

I stamped & die cut all the pieces to make the coffee cup -

and then added some Krafty Red Trendy Twine from

Annie's Paper Boutique to make my cute bow -

I wanted a simple sentiment, so I grabbed the

Jaded Blossom - Java Time Stamp set and

stamped a simple Hello Sentiment so I could mail

this off to a crafty friend! Then I added some

Bling just to tie everything together!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee....

Hello & Happy Sunday Everyone!

I'm back again with another Fun

 Coffee card for the

 Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop

This was so fun to create! 

I pulled out the "Coffee" Word die from

the Coffee Break stamp set that I got from

My Creative Time and die cut it out 8 times in

a coffee brown colored cardstock with some

Stick it adhesive on the back - then

I cut it out 3 more times in the teal blue colored cardstock

with some Stick it adhesive on the back for layering

on top of each other -

I laid the words across my white card front to see where

everything would lay and then started to adhere everything down

Anything that hung over the white card front was cut off

I attached some Fun Foam to the back and then attached the

card front down to my teal blue card base! 

I wanted to highlight the Teal Blue Coffee Word

so I die cut a small coffee cup from the 

Jaded Blossom Coffee Dies Set and 

added a small button with some Jute Twine

to tie the whole thing together!

I just LOVE how this turned out!!!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!

Theresa

Butterfly Birthday...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Stamps Blog

Today I thought I would share a Butterfly Birthday -

I made myself another rainbow card! Since I already

had the items out from the last rainbow card I made

I thought I could make a second one at the same time!

So I used a scrap piece of Canson Watercolor paper

and some of my Distress Oxides  

- All I did was blend an assortment of Distress Oxides

onto the watercolor paper then added a few drops of

water here & there and then dried it with my heat tool.

I also took a strip of black & white Designer Paper

from Doodlebug and layered the 2 pieces

onto my 110lb. Recollections White Cardbase

I already had the butterflies completed when I

made my last Rainbow card - I used the 

Beautiful Raisin Boat Stamp set called (IMAGINE)

I just Popped them up on my card with some

Dimensional Foam Dots...

The Happy Birthday Sentiment is a Victorine

Originals Stamp and I really like how it

fills out the bottom portion of my card!

I then added some pretty Ice cube Jewels from Lucy's cards

to complete the design... and now it's ready to be

used for someone's birthday!!!

I also wanted to share the inside of my card with you -

I like having the insides completed at the same time as

the outside - This way it's ready to go when I need it!

I'm using another Victorine Originals Sentiment -

This one is called (Very best of birthdays)

and I just cut a strip of the rainbow paper I made

just to tie it all together!!!

Imagine (10156-Z)

 Happy Birthday (74641-C) 

Very Best of Birthdays (2780-C)

Summertime Caterpillar....

Hello & Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!!

Tomorrow is Officially the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! YAY

So, I'm super busy this week and wanted to make this

post-Short & Sweet! I'm trying to break up

all the Graduation Card posts and thought I

would share one of the wood projects I made

over the weekend!!! I'm so Happy with how

all of them came out!!! :)

Isn't it Super CUTE??? I think it's adorable!!!

I got the Plain Wooden Caterpillar from my local

Wood store and painted it in Fun Bright

Summer colors - Then I grabbed some of my

Doodlebug Summer Papers and added them to the front

with some Mod Podge to adhere them down

I had to use some wood glue on 2 of the circles

since they were stand out pieces ( I pre-sanded these pieces)

 then I sanded the rest and did some inking around

all the edges to give it a nice finished look -

I purchased some thick wire at my local hardware

store and curled up the antennas with needle nose pliers

And hot glued them into the predrilled holes

Then I added some ribbon that was in my stash

along with a googly eye -

Then I added some assorted adhesive gems to match

the bright colors and that was it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!
