A Latte Birthday

Hello everyone,

I'm here with a holiday themed birthday card.  I wanted to play along with the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog hop but just missed it.  

I love patterned paper and I have quite a bit of it for someone who doesn't know how to use it.  LoL!!  I saw this piece and I knew I had to use it because it's so adorable.  

I used the coffee cup from the Coffee Craze stamps and die set and coloured it in with my copics and then die cut it.  When you use the red copics they tend to bleed so I used the white gel pen to clean up the edges of the stamped image.  I then stamped and heat embossed a snowflake onto the cup as I thought it was missing something.  

I then took two sizes of scalloped rectangle dies and cut out a piece of the patterned paper and a smaller piece of white card stock and stamped the sentiment with black ink.  

I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and popped up the sentiment panel with foam tape.  I then added a bit of Wink of Stella to the cup and I thought I'd mix it up and add the cup with a small action wobble.  So it moves!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a birthday card for you today.

The MOS stamp sets I used for today's card are Happy Moments and Love for Mom.  

I stamped the flower on white 110# card stock with intense black ink and coloured them in with my copics.  I fussy cut it out with my scissors and went along the edges with a black Memento marker to clean up the image. 

I created the background with a candy striped background stamp and used grey and purple inks.  I used a rectangle die to cut out the plaid panel along with a piece of vellum.  

I stamped the sentiment on the vellum with Versafine Onyx black ink and heat embossed with the Wow black embossing powder.  I added the flower with the foam tape to the vellum and I adhered the vellum panel to the plaid panel with liquid adhesive.  

I coloured the scalloped frame with the same purples as the flower so they would match and added it to the rest of the panel. I then adhered everything to the card base and added a few finishing touches with enamel dots and a lot of sparkle pen to the flower.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Stay crafty  :)

Tic-TAc-Toe Challenge #2

Hello everyone,

UPDATE

I wanted to let you all know that I was spotted by MFT for this card March 1, 2016.  Eeeekkkk!!

I'm playing along with the second Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge and if you're not familiar with it, you choose any of the techniques listed below in the same order as you would win in the game Tic-Tac-Toe!  

                                

I went with the Trees-Die Cuts - Critters for my card today and I started out with stamping the background polka dots with Jellybean ink and then cut out the panel from an MFT stitched rectangle stax die-namics die.  I then stamped, cut and coloured in the sheep and all the other elements with copics.  

I put my scene together and popped some things up on foam tape and others I glued to the panel to give them some dimension and interest.  

I added glitter to the ewe  and the flowers with my Wink of Stella glitter marker and I think I use that stuff on just about every card I make!

Once that was all adhered I then die cut the stitched speech bubble and used my MISTI to stamp out the sentiment.  I wanted to make sure I got it straight and entered.  After I did that I popped that up as well and added it to the panel.  

I cut out another panel from the Sunshine Layers dies from WPlus9 and adhered that straight to the card base and then adhered the front panel as well.  I thought the card needed something more and this gives it just enough interest as I wanted all the stamped images to be centre stage because they are so ADORABLE!

I've also added this card to the Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday - Anything Goes

 That's all for me, thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again soon!
