Thinking About You a Latte

Hi friends! Did y'all have a good weekend? I got to spend a bit of crafty time to myself on Saturday while the boys went to a local college basketball game. I didn't get as much as I thought I'd get done, but I sure had a lot of fun, AND enjoyed the silence! {grin}

Today I'm sharing a fun little coffee card using the All My Love DIGITAL Set and some Be Mine papers from Echo Park. I had fun with patterns and layout, adding a die cut scalloped border.  The sentiment and cup are from the PDF version of the digi, printed on my laser printer. I fussy cut the cup and colored with Copics, then die cut the sentiment and matted with a scalloped circle die cut.

My finishing touch was a bit of baker's twine, accented with a trio of mini roses. Super fun and the perfect pick me up for a friend!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a super awesome start to your week.

Wild Thing

Hi friends! Today I have a simple little valentine card using the new All My Love DIGITAL Set to share with you.

I started with the pdf version of the digi set, printed on my laser printer on cream cardstock.  I colored the hearts with copic markers, adding a bit of grey shadowing to cover up my booboos. {grin}  Both the hearts image and the sentiment are cut with a stitched circle die.

Next I cut a panel of the aqua paper and tied a double seam binding bow across it, layering the two circles over the top.  I cut a black mat for the panel, then skewed them a bit and glued to an A2 card base that I added a couple of scored lines to the top and bottom.  See what I mean?  Easy peasy!  I think Mark will like this one... and now we'll ALL be singing this little song all day!  Haha.

I Like You a Latte

Hi friends! I've got another fun little coffee card today. It was so nice to spend part of a day stamping last Saturday. I can't even remember the last time I made four cards in one day, and it felt GREAT!  And it's even sweeter since now I have something to share with you this week!

Today's card uses the current SCS Sketch challenge. It looked like just that... a challenge...so I had to give it a go!  The images and sentiments are from the new All My Love DIGITAL Set. I printed the pdf version on my laser printer on cream cardstock, then colored with copic markers and fussy cut.

I wanted to give a bit of dimension to the cups, so I sort of curled them with my fingers then put a skinny strip of dimensional tape in the center and glued the other edges with liquid glue.  I cut out the sentiment with a die cut, then promptly misplaced the die.  I looked everywhere, but couldn't find it, so had to make the embossed heart circle backgrounds for the cups just slightly smaller.  I added smoky slate mats, sponged with hickory smoke distress ink to give it a bit of depth, then finished the detailing with some gun metal Nuvo drops on the scallops.

In relation to the sketch, I extended the flag portion to go under the bottom circle, since it felt a little more balanced that way and then added a die cut heart using the Heart Quartet Die.

Hope Lifts

Hi friends! I'm back today with a sample using the all new All My Love DIGITAL Set. I got a little crafty time this weekend and couldn't wait to use this fun little hot air balloon image.

I'm also sneaking in just under the wire for the current challenge at The Card Concept. I loved the inspiration, especially the soft pinks and blues and the bows and that's where I started with this shabby chic card.

The papers are from an older My Mind's Eye Collection and I printed the pdf version of the digi set on cream cardstock, then colored with Copic markers and cut with die cuts.  I layered some fun papers and a scalloped border die cut across the bottom and finished with a hint of sparkle on the hearts and a seam binding bow above the sentiments.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope your Monday is looking up! :)
