Coffee Loving Papercrafters DT/March

Hey there! What's brewin'?
Welcome back to Robyn's Nest

💚💚I Love St. Pactrick's Day!! 💚💚
Do you??
It's about the food, and the beer and all the fun for me and my family, and we are not even Irish!
My entire family loves Corned Beef and Cabbage!
I've made it every year for 35 years 😋 

so we all look forward to St Pactrick's Day!!

I'd love to know if you have any traditions
for Paddy's Day

For this months card, I used Unity Stamp Company's 

Luck To Go 

 

Using several elements from 3 of our Super Sponsors

for the card base I used

GinaK cardstock

Unity's Luck To Go stamped image

Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals 

I hope you like this months card!!

It was Super easy :) 

See you again next month

Inky Hugs, Robyn

Friends of Unity~ March is Creativity

 

Hey there!!

Welcome to Robyn's Nest!

Our theme for this month is Creativity!!

At first I was stumped, then one of these wonderful ladies said we could "be creative" and use a technique...well that's all I needed to brainstorm! 

I chose to use the Shaving Cream technique for my background

All you do is squirt any type of shave cream

 NOT GEL

on a paper plate

next you use your reinkers and drip them randomly onto the shave cream

Then using a butter knife, you swirl the ink into the shave cream

here is a video from Gina K ..it's under 5 minutes, so check it out. ok 😉

Video Tutorial

  

I used 

Whatever Comes Next stamp set..

 red and chocolate brown cardstock from PTI

some pretty green crinkle ribbon, and a matching brad to hold the sentiment to the ribbon.

 Sometimes I like my sentiments to move and not be stationary 

I sent this card to sweet Bobbie Sue (i heart you)

 

March is my birthday month, and it's also my beautiful daughters, too

🎂

She will be 22, and guess what?? 

She is pregnant with a boy

                                                    

I cannot wait to meet the little guy at the beginning of July 👶

I hope you try this technique!!

It was super easy, and fast!

Up next is Dawn

CLC February DT with Graciellie Design

Hey there!! Welcome back to Robyn's Nest!!

I don't know about you, but February means Valentine's Day to me!

I don't have many friends, or family with February birthdays 

so I make pretty Valentine cards!! 

 

For this card, I am using a digital stamp set from 

Graciellie Design (Link to store)

This pretty set is called Coffee Lovers <LINK<<

and you can get it by clicking that link

I started this card with my absolute favorite cardstock, 

Papertrey Ink, Berry Sorbet cut length wise in half

Most of my cards these days open from the bottom, and not the side

I then used a sheet of white PTI cs and a 

3D embossing folder I recently got from Sizzix

After embossing, I cut the white piece out with

Gina Marie Pleated Lace Rectangle Dies <<link<<

Such a beautiful set of dies!! 

You just Cannot beat her prices @ $10.00 

I mounted the white to the Berry Sorbet

I colored the cups using Copic sketch marker

Prawn/R24~ I buy most of my Copics from

Scrapbookpal.com

Back in the Fall I bought THE most beautiful assortment of ribbon from

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

They have so many gorgeous ribbons to choose from,

 but this "Color of the Year" caught my eye!

Coral!!! 

I had to have it! Once I got there, there were also some pretty

flowers from Petaloo that matched the ribbon well..

Here's a link for a closer look

2019 Color of the Year Sampler 

Below is a closer look, under the cups

 

Well, that's it for me this month!

I hope you like my card!!

Until next month,

Friends Of Unity~ January is a New Year

Happy New Year!!
This is the first weekend of the new year!!

Friends of Unity's cue this month is..

New Year!
For my card, I used 

Celebrate the New" by Angie Blom

 

Click this LINK 

 

For this card, I used distress inks for the backgrounk

I heat embossed the fireworks from the set in white, then took my watercolor pens, and lightly went over them to add some color

I stamped,  then water colored the girl, and fussy cut her out. I don't like the white edges much, so I took my Memento pen and lightly went around them.. I even water colored her hair, too

I really like how this one turned out :) 

The for my next card, I used the same sentiment stamp and fireworks. This time I gold embossed 

 

I added some embellishments to the upper left corner, 

such as, star shaped brads, and gold thread from SU!. 

The shiny gold washi tape helped with the raw looking folded edge...

this was a super quick card

Here are the two of them together

 

Well, that's it for me this..

There are a few giveaways again this month!!!

OK, so let's chat...

 A few of our design team members are using

 A Cup Of Thanks

  

I loved coloring the beautiful flowers on this stamp

 

Using two different pieces of cardstock, and changing up the main flower color, gave me exactly what I wanted.

The die set, comes with two word dies, too. 

Thanks, and Tea

Here's a link to  A Cup Of Thanks, Dies

I love that this die cuts the space in the handle.
It was VERY easy to line the die up, before cutting.
Plenty of room around the image too! I LOVE that!!

 

Studio Katia sells the most 

beautiful embellishments, too! 

I am kind of a sequins snob, 

and their sequins and jeweled crystals are so

 beautiful that I want them all!

 I used Gold sparkle crystals, and Sunny Topaz ..below is a link

  Jeweled Crystals

and 

Sequins Mixes 

 

Both of my cards we very easy to make, and will be mailed out Monday!

That's it for me  :)
