Tis the Season

Hi friends!! It has been a long time that I have sat down to just make a card for myself, using whatever I wanted. Today I did some cleaning and decided to take a time out create a card for two different challenges.

I created this for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #512 and The Color Throwdown #669.

I started by doing a bit of ink blending with Chipped Sapphire and Prized Ribbon Distress Ink. I then used a new stencil that I received from Stamperia. My last step was to use Gold Color Shine, Picket Fence and Prize Ribbon Distress Spray Stain.

I used Spellbinders November 2021 Small Die of the Month Club for my ornament. I die cut the ornament out of white and gold cardstock. I used some navy gems for some fun on my ornamnet.

My pine boughs and Typed Christmas sentiment are from Hello Bluebird and the foiled strips are from a DCWV foiled paper pad.

I had SO MUCH FUN creating this card!!! I am so into blue and gold at this moment. I wish I could make it my color scheme but I am not willing to spend money on new ornament.

I am looking forward to seeing my daughter this week. She is coming home on Tuesday and I have not seen her since October. This week is going to be so busy!!! I am having my family and Chris at Thanksgiving this year after not seeing anyone last year.

Well, that is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everyone!! 

This is my second post for the day for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021. I created a card using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Coffee Products. 

I created my background by blending Antique Linen Distress Ink and misting with Old Paper and Antique Linen Distress Stain. 

I then stenciled over the top with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using the CAS-Fridays By the Beans Stencil. I stamped the sentiment using the CAS-Fridays Cup of Coffee stamp set and brown dye ink. 

I adhered a teal die cut coffee cup die cut using the CFS Coffee Cup Die. I added some Glossy Accents over the brown "coffee" in the cup.

I started my card by ink blending Festive Berries and Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the background. I then flicked three colors of mist over the top.

While the background was drying, I used the Kat Scrappiness Layered Coffee Cup Die to die cut the coffee cup out of Neenah White Cardstock and Kat Scrappiness red Rainbow Confetti Slimline paper. I used Festive Berries Distress Ink to blend the coffee warmer and adhered all the pieces of the cup together.

I also cut out the sentiment from brown cardstock using Kat Scrappiness's Got Coffee die.

I set my coffee cup and sentiment aside and made a flat shaker card. I used the Coffee Bean Sprinkles as my shaker element. I then adhered the card together as shown.

A Belated Birthday Using the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #531-Week 2

 Hey Crafty Friends!! I hope you are all doing well.

Today I am back with a belated birthday card I created using this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Color Challenge #531.

We were to use the colors Tangerine, Brown and Blue.

I started off by die cutting blue cardstock with a Stamp Market Die.

I layered a jar and flowers from The Greetery. I used Kat Scrappiness Sparkling Snow Pearls for the middle of the flowers of the hydrangeas.

The little bird is from Paper Trey Ink. I printed the sentiment out myself from the computer.

I hope you come and play with us this week at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #531. I cannot wait to see what you create.

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
