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!!!

Last Valentine's Day Card....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

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

SumMore Fun Blog - (Victorine Originals)

YAY for me... 🙌


Today I thought I would share my last Valentine's Day Card -

Valentine's Day was Yesterday and I hadn't had a chance
to share the card I made for a friend of mine --

I die cut my Heart Circle die twice, so I could

mix and match the design together - Then I adhered them

on top of a White 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card front -

Then I used a Stitched Rectangle Die to give my card

a nice border 

I attached my Card front to some Fun Foam, then attached it

to my Pink Cardbase --

My Dotted Heart Stamp & Sentiment Stamp are Heat Embossed with

some Fine Silver Embossing powder

I used my Clear Wink of Stella Pen to add some

Glitter to all the pink hearts, then added a couple

of Clear Ice Cube Jewels for a final Touch!

I'm using the Playing Cupid (9059-Z) Stamp Set

by - Raisin Boat

This set is Perfect for so many

occasions besides Valentine's Day -

I just love it!

I spent my weekend making projects for my DT. 

Some went easy which I love and others...

UGH... I struggled... It happens... I still have a

few more to get done, but for now, I'm taking a 

break from it or I'll go Nuts! :)

My Monthly card swap group is back in

full force and this month's theme is

Sweet Birthday!

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I had to make a trip to Vegas with
my Hubby, so while I was there I hit up
the craft stores! ;) It was fun but it's
always good to be home...

I thought I would share a Birthday Card I made --

I LOVE the stitch lines in those dies! They really add

so much with little effort!

I heat Embossed the Sentiment and added some 

Rainbow Sparkle mix from Lucy's Cards

The 2 tiny pink hearts are die cut from DCWV Gitter Cardstock

and I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the Stripes and

cake image...

As you can see, I prettied up the inside of my card too!

The inside Sentiment is from CTMH (Sweet Birthday)

I added more Pink Glitter Hearts and a border strip --

Thinking of you at...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!!

YAY! the weekend is here! Thank goodness --

This week has been crazy busy at work and

I can totally use the downtime! How about you?

I thought I would share a SUPER QUICK 5 Minute CARD!

Say What??? YUP! This card really only took me

5 minutes to make!! AND - It's a Christmas card!!

Let me start by telling you - I happen to

come across the image in my scraps pile

EVEN BETTER! LOL and when I took a

look at it, I was like - Ooh, wow... I've had a 

5 minute card sitting here in my stash and

didn't realize it - UGH!! LOL

Here it is --

Now how easy is that??? LOL

Basically the paper is from an OLD DCWV paper stack

When I saw it, I thought... HELLO easy card right here!

So I pulled out my Stitched Rectangle die and placed

it over my image - Then I used my Clear Wink of

Stella glitter pen on all the leaves & the birds wing --

 - then I Stamped a Christmas Sentiment

with some Memento Rich Cocoa Ink in my Misti

Thought I should make the berries pop too, so I

pulled out my glossy accents and just dotted each berry

I used a piece of Fun Foam behind the design and

popped it right up on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Red cardbase

Besides being super simple I thought it was a cute image --

Another card for my 2018 Stash!

I think I better go take another look at my

Christmas Scrap Stash pile - Just in case I find

another 5 minute card to make!! You just never know!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

The Music Background is from Victorine Originals

The balloon die set is from MFT Blueprints #26

and the Stitched Rectangle Die is from MFT Blueprints #13

I used some Lucy's Cards Jewels for accents

Celebrate Brightly...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How was your Weekend? Did you get 3 days off?

I did, so it was nice to get a bunch of stuff done

I'm still working on re-organizing my Dies and placing

them on Magnetic sheets - I'm almost done! So YAY for that!

I thought I would share my Next set of

Christmas cards with you --

There should have been only 2 cards - but for some reason

when I went to print the first set of 2 - one did not

print correctly - So I had to re-print them and I'm NOT

one for wasting space - So I just went ahead and printed out

2 more of the same design - So then I had 3 cards to make! :)

The image is from the Silhouette Store (MOD WREATH) #22994

and I got it when Silhouette was having their 50¢ Christmas Sale.

I used the Gina Marie Wonky Stitch Die to cut out

my Wreath image on these 2 cards - And the cardbase is

Melon Mambo from Stampin' Up -- I sprayed my images with some

Acrylic Sealer, before adding on some Clear Wink of Stella to the

bows and pink dots --

I attached the Wreath Image to some white Fun Foam then

attached them to my cardbase - I die cut the word

Celebrate (MFT) 4x's (2 for each card) and layered them

on top of each other, before placing on my card --

Then I stamped "This Christmas" from Hero Arts in the lower

portion of the card --- 

I also added some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards

to give it a little extra Sparkle!

Since this one was my extra card - I wanted it to be a little bit different 

So I die cut the Wreath Image out with a Scalloped Stitch Die

I used White Cardstock as my base, then I added a piece of Melon

Mambo, then I layered my image on top of that with some Fun Foam

I die cut the Celebrate word out 2x's for this one as well and

added the Same Sentiment as before -- I also sprayed

this with some Acrylic Sealer before using my Wink of Stella pen

and of course I added some Ice Cube Jewels too -- 

I really like all 3 cards - They are very different than my

"Normal" Christmas cards - The Bright Pink and Greens

just make this Happy & Fun!

Looks like 3 more cards completed in my collection!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS Day!!
