Let's have some COFFEE!!!

Hello everyone,

I finally got my hands on a couple of stamps sets from Create a Smile Stamps.  Butterfly Reflections Ink is the first US store to carry the brand and I'm super excited because that's where I got mine!!

This is the first card I did with the set.

I made a square card and I used the SSS stitched squares dies to cut out the frame.  I popped it up on foam tape but I decided not to make a shaker card this time, though this would make a great one.

I used the coffee bean from Lawn Fawn's Love you a latte and the moustache from the Create a Smile  Coffee First set and stamped it with Fog ink.  I then took the heart stamp from the CAS set and stamped that in Schoolhouse ink.

I stamped the sentiment in SSS white pigment ink on a piece of scrap red card stock and used the flag die Lawn Fawn Stitched journaling dies to cut it out nice and straight.

I then used my copics to colour in the coffee cup and covered the whole thing with glossy accents.  

I stamped the Coffee in Memento Onyx black ink and fussy cut it out to give it some interest.  I also popped that up on foam tape as well.

Supplies:
Copics used:  BG13, BG23, BG75, R20 & R29 (Michaels)
Coffee First (Create a Smile) - Butterfly Reflections Ink
Love you a Latte (Lawn Fawn) - Simon Says Stamp
Stitched journaling dies (Lawn Fawn) - Simon Says Stamp
Square stitched dies - Simon Says Stamp
Fog, Schoolhouse  & White inks (Simon Says Stamp) - SSS

Holiday Cards

Hi everyone,

I'm here today with a couple of cards that I've worked on the past week.  I revived my SSS order and had a few minutes to play.

First card is the SSS Furry Cat and Box stamp set and it's just adorable.  I used copics to colour in the cat and patterned paper to paper piece the box.  I used a little bow that came in the Limited Edition Holiday kit from SSS, stamped the sentiment with SSS Schoolhouse ink and finished it off with some enamel dots from MME that I purchased at my local Michaels last holiday season.

The second card I used the Joy to the Woods stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn.  I used copics to colour in the images and Versafine Onyx for the sentiment. 

I picked up some Heidi Swapp Shimmer pray from Michaels that was on sale in mint and used that in the background and I used the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles to die cut the panel. I then finished it off with Pretty Pink Posh sequins in 6mm marshmallow and popped it up with some foam tape onto an A2 sized card base in 110# Recollections white card stock.

Happy Birthday & Hello Cards

Hello everyone!

I have a couple of cards that I share sneak peaks on my Instagram account earlier this month.

The first card is an image from the latest Online Card Classes - Copics for Card Makers.  I used the negative from the SSS Frames dies, Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins in 6mm and the Viva Decor Pen in Ice White (JoAnn's) to make the little pearl dots.

Here are the colours I used for the flowers.  The class does end tomorrow but they will be announcing the next one soon.

For this card I used the October SSSCK "Friendship Has its Perks".  I love this stamp set.  Yes I'm a sucker for coffee cups, hehe!  I stamped the cups on Copic X-press It paper and used copics to colour them.  I then fussy cut them and popped them up on foam tape.  I used the SSS Fog ink to stamp the steam and a Copic 0.5 multiline to make the lines around the card.  I felt that it needed something to balance it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawnscaping Challenge #91 - Patterned Paper

Hello Everyone!

Today I have a card to share for the Lawnscaping Challenge.

I used the new stamp set from Lawn Fawn for Simon Says Stamp.  Unfortunately it is now sold out as it was on while supplies last during the SSS Stamptember event.  I love the images in this set and the sentiments.

I will admit that there are a couple of boo-boos on this card.  I don't know about you but I am forever putting my baby wipe down on my desk and it get either on top of or beside my projects or partial cards I'm working on and ruins them.  This card is no different but with the help of the Online Card Class - Copics for Card makers they had tips and tricks to hide mistakes.

The first one is the sentiment which I used Momento Onyx Black ink to stamp it.  I got so caught up in putting the card together, I forgot to stamp my sentiment.  Needless to say it didn't stamp out as it was popped up on foam adhesive.  I got to thinking and decided to stamp it again on card stock and fussy cut it out and then pop it up.
 

Number two was the baby wipe issue.  in the top right corner got wet and the ink started to bleed.  This is the reason for the leaves being popped up on the edge.  So I popped up a few of the leaves around the border.

I used the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duos 2 rectangle die for the panel and then just added another piece of card stock behind it and coloured the edges with a Copic marker to match the colours on the leaves and enamel dots from My Minds Eye that came in my SSSCK (unfortunately I no longer remember from which one)

OCC Day 6 & 7

Hello everyone!

I know I haven't been posting much on my blog lately as we finally got the computer back tonight...Yay!!!!!  Our old one crashed so when we had the data transferred over to the new one we found out that the old one could be fixed.  So...that means I get the new computer!  **happy dance**.

Now on to Day 6 of Copics for Card Makers. I have a BIG soft spot for most anything Lawn Fawn, so when I saw these were in as the class practice images I was tickled pink.  I just love this pup from the Critters in the Burbs and the fox is just as adorable from the Critters in the Forest.

Day 7.  I love this little robot vampire!  He is just adorable.  Sandy took us through how to make the image look more realistic with shadows and highlights with difficult colours such as red, white and black.  She makes it look so easy and seamless but it's a bit trickier than it looks but super fun to do.

Here is what I did for the flowers with the reds and whites.

Thanks for stopping by!
