Coffee Trio

Hey friends! How's September treating you. The air is chilling just a bit around here and I'm definitely ready for warm drinks and cozy blankets in the mornings. Today I'm sharing a trio of cards I created with this month's Not 2 Shabby Box of the Month.  I used the same paper collage technique I used in my last video for the backgrounds on all of these cards.

This first card, I wanted to bring that dreamy feeling of quiet morning moments to the background, so overlaid a panel of vellum over the #coffeeandbooks Vol. 2 papers. I embossed the sentiment onto the vellum, then created a little scene with a few ephemera pieces and accented with sparkle enamel dots.

I approached this second card the same way, minus the vellum overlay.  I added a sentiment across the bottom to sort of "ground" my collage elements, then finished off with sparkle enamel dots.

For the third card, I added a little softness to the background with a couple of mini doilies. The sentiment sign seemed like the perfect destination for this sweet young reader.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Magical Wizard Gnomies

Popping in with some brand new goodies from Not 2 Shabby! ✨ Meg Breiter has done it again with a new gnome set called Magical Wizards. I'm pretty sure we all know which famous magical scholar in training inspired this gnome! 😉 I colored this little lady with Copics and then cut her out with the clever Gnome Universal Die.

Also, Linh Van and Jamie have a new EZ Postage Magic & Fantasy paper pad! These pads are made to work with the EZ Wonder 3 Die, but they've got a surprise on the back – a full-size background paper if you're not feeling the EZ Wonder vibes! I used one of the purple backgrounds here, embossed it with one of my old-school stars & swirls folders, and then sanded it a bit to make it pop! I paired it with a paper from the Witchy Vibes pad and finished with some sparkly silver foil mats!

If you're loving this set as much as I am,  I'll just let you know that Meg's last gnome set sold out the first day, so these little Magical Wizards probably won't last long. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
