Warm Winter Wishes


Happy Wednesday everyone! It's my turn to share over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers and I couldn't resist sharing this pastel cutie!

I have started making Christmas cards already and I am excited to show you all a card that I had made a while ago, and am now getting ready to make a bunch of them for the holidays! This bear and his coffee are sooooo adorable!


I started by stamping this cutie from Craftin' Desert Divas onto some Copic Paper and colored him up with my copic markers...then I cut him out and layered him with various dies and added some sequins and a paper pieced to-go mug.  


I LOVE the non-traditional colors for the holidays and the sequins remind me of snow falling inside a snow globe...so cute!

Thanks for stopping in today and seeing what I've been up to! Enjoy your Wednesday! Cheers!

Collab Hop with CAS-ual Fridays and Coffee Loving Cardmakers!


Happy Friday and welcome back to my blog. Today the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps have joined together to bring you a collaborative blog hop featuring all things coffee! Yay!!
For both of my cards, I am featuring the Coffee Talk stamps set and Coffee Cup Fri-Dies

For my first card, I wanted to bring out some pretty Christmas papers and use some of the sentiments in the stamp set:


I heat embossed the sentiments on the top and bottom red pieces with winter white embossing powder, and used the coffee die for the word coffee on the cup...I also popped up the coffee cup and coffee using foam dots for a bit of dimension.
For my 2nd card, I went for the Fall papers :) One of my favorite seasons due to the rich, beautiful colors!


I love this coffee cup in plaid! There are so many ways to use it!! And that baby mug is just adorable! 


Thank you so much for stopping in today! Be sure to hop on through the links below or you can jump over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog to check out all the details! Cheers!

4 CC #425 {Finish the Inside}


Welcome back to another "4 Crafty Chicks" challenge. This week, it is miss Amy's turn to throw out the "twist" for this week's Anything Goes challenge! 

4 CC #425 {Finish the Inside}

** Remember, our challenges are now always Anything Goes with the optional "twist" thrown in each week. You do not have to use the twist, but we would sure love it if you did! :)


This is something I need to do more of - I sell my cards and I am usually scrambling at the last minute to finish the inside or at least even put a white layer for people to write on when they give it away ;) Thanks for the awesome challenge, Amy!


Card idea CASE'd from PInterest

Please be sure to check out what my other fellow Chicks have created for you using Amy's challenge:

We would love if you would come on over and play along with us this week - remember, it's an Anything Goes challenge with the optional "twist!"

Guest Designer fun with Bugaboo Stamps!


Happy Saturday everyone! Welcome back to my blog to see what I'm up to. I got a very exciting email last week and I get the extreme crafty pleasure of being a Guest Designer over at Bugaboo Stamps for the month of October! *insert big, huge grin here!* 

Today is Saturday and that means its time for a challenge over on the Catch the Bug blog. This week, the theme is "Cowgirls/Cowboys" and I just couldn't resist coloring up this cutie patootie called "Cowboy Chaps." 



I left a sentiment off the front so that he was the main focus...the inside is blank so I can use it as a boy birthday or just to say hello to a special little buckaroo! 



Here are the rules for the challenge:

*  Post your project to the blog, by 10/20/2018 at 7:00 AM EST
*  New projects only, no back-linking please!
*  Please limit your projects to 3 per person

You could win 10 free images (using a Bugaboo image), 7 free images, or 4 free images using any image! How fun!

Thank you so much for stopping in today - be sure to click HERE to hop on over to the Catch the Bug challenge blog for all the info and to link up with us! Cheers!

4 CC #423 {Something Old is Something New!}


Welcome back to another "4 Crafty Chicks" challenge. This week, it is Leanne's turn to be our jostess-with-the-mostess. She is looking for us to use something old and bring it to life again and make it new to us....

4 CC #423 "Something Old is Something New

My card was made using an older die from Stampin' Up! and I really do need to keep it out and use it more often as it is so pretty! And there are so many ways you can use it!


I love how the negative sides work against the papers and you can also cut it out of different color papers, fill in the flower and leaves or you can color in the image and then cut it out with the die! So pretty...Awesome challenge, Leanne!


Please be sure to check out what my other fellow Chicks have created for you using 
Leanne's "something old is something new" twist:

We would love if you would come on over and play along with us this week - remember, it's an Anything Goes and you can use the twist if you want :) Cheers!
