Creative Crew

 We are a little behind in posting our cards for our Creative Crew group.  Carol sent us a wonderful kit to work with.  The theme this month is "Grateful" which I try to be every day.  I am forever grateful for my family and my creative friends.  

The tree is by My Favorite Things which was very easy to  color.  I just used 3 different copic colors of green.  The sentiment is from Stampabilities.  The designer paper is by DCWV.  Such a simple but elegant card.

I hope you check out the rest of the team to see what they came up with.

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 Well I am sad to say that today is the last day of the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I hope you have taken a peek at some of the wonderful creations for this hop.  

For my card today I am using Echo Park Coffee & Friends paper.  The stamp set I used is Newton Nooks Coffee Delights.  You can also purchase the matching die set.

I stamped off the images and then colored them with my copic markers.  I added a few brown gems and you have a cute coffee card.

Thanks again to all the sponsors and people behind the scenes in making the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop such a success.

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 I have 2 more cards ready to go for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I have really enjoyed pulling out some of my stamps I have never used before or haven't seen ink in a long time.

For my card today I am using another stamp set that hasn't been used.  

The papers I used are one of my favorite holiday papers.  It makes for such a great background.  I don't think it is available any more which makes me sad.  I will need to use mine sparingly.  The snowflake in the background is a Sizzix snowflake die.  The sentiment and matching die are "Winter Wonderland" by Dare 2 B Artzy.  This is such a beautiful holiday stamp set.  I should remember to use it more often.

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I thought I would make another card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  

For my card today I pulled out a stamp set that I have never used.  It is a Close to My Heart stamp set called "Treats of Friendship".  I am so sad that Close To My Heart is No More.

I printed off the cup stamp and colored it with my copic markers.  The papers I used were P13 Coffee and the checked and red paper are Honey Bee Papers.  The oval die is by Newtons nook and the sentiment die is from Pretty Pink Posh.  I really used alot of different company items on this card.

Check back tomorrow because I have yet another card to show for this hop.

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 I always love participating in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops.  It gives me a chance to pull out my coffee themed stamps that I don't get to use often enough.  The 2025 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop has some wonderful sponsors and prizes.  

For my card today I went to Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge for the month of November for inspiration.  

It is a sketch challenge and I always love those.  

For my card I used the "Autumn" paper line from  Newton's Nook Designs.  The stamp set I used was also from Newton's Nook Designs called "Autumn Coffees".  I stamped the images and fussy cut them out.  Always fun to use this stamp set.

Be sure and check back tomorrow because I hope to post a card every day until Friday.  

PIP Challenge #2545

 Today brings another fun challenge from Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Our sponsor this week is Polkadoodles.  If you are looking for a fun digital image.  This is definitely the store to go to.

I am still working on a few Christmas cards and thought this would be another fun one for my stash.  The image is "Purr-fect Kitty Cat wishes" by Polkadoodles.  

I made this card in honor of my cat "Rocky".  He is 18 1/2 years old and still thinks he is a teenager.  He is quite the clingy cat especially since he lost his brother last year.  He definitely likes his routine and wants to be on my lap at all times.  

For my card I decided to use "Purrfect Kitty Cat Wishes" by  Polkadoodles.  

I printed off the image on my printer and then colored the image with my copic markers.  I always have to make my kitties ginger colored to match my cat.  The papers I used are by Echo Park called "Birthday Salutations".  The sentiment and matching die are by Taylored Expressions called "It's Your Day". 

Be sure and check out all the digital images at Polkadoodles.  They have some adorable Christmas images.

Challenge Your Stash

 This month is a fun challenge for you Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Jeanette is our hostess for the month of October and she came up with a great challenge for us.  She challenged us to make a non-Halloween card using colors typically associated with halloween.

For my card I used papers from Doodlebug "Hey Pumpkin".  I thought they would be fun for a birthday card.  The stamp set I used was from Stampin Up called Simply Sketched.  I also used Stampin Up Stitched Nested Label Dies.

This is a fun fold card that I made.  You can see here how it opens up.

Thanks to Jeanette for a great challenge this month.
