STAMPlorations Sponsor Solo





Hey there  :) 
I am very excited to be joining in with one of the Super Sponsors from the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 
I am sharing a card I made using two of their stamp sets
Literary Caffeine-Ations, and Sketchy Coffee Cups
I started out by paper piecing the cups with some scrap paper I had.
If you look close, you can see the little pearl flourish's I used for "steam" (so cute)  
Then I used Blueberry Sky cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment with Versamark, then heat embossed it with black embossing powder.
I added a small white doily.. 
I also used a little beaded charm I made. 
Thanks for looking  :)

Hey there  :) 
Welcome back to my blog 
I am so excited to share this card with you today!
I am using my two favorite stamp companies,
Unity stamp Co. and STAMPlorations 
I used the American Craft,  Hot Cocoa card stock as my card base. I measured it at 10 x 6 1/2, and scored it at 5″


Next I stamped the image of the Angie Girl on white cs, then paper pieced her jacket and scarf. I used copic # E31 for her gloves, making them fingerless-
I used real red cs to mat the image and the Martha Stewart deckle blade to trim the image and distressed the edges


I just love that sentiment set from STAMPlorations!  I used red embossing powder and matted it to match the image.  Then I tied a piece of red sheer ribbon in a knot, added some spiral ribbon that is no longer available, and a jingle bell to give it some pip!
I added the PPP sequins here and there. Love them!!
And lastly, I pulled red twine through some brown buttons and hot glued them to the bottom..
Be sure to stop by at Coffee Loving Papercrafters , to check out this card and the others from the Design Team
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to your comments  :)

Day 5, Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop




Hey there !! 
Welcome back to Day 5 of  the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop !!!

Today, I decided to make a large tag :)
I love making tags that double as keepsake bookmarks too.
They go pretty fast  :)
I started this tag by first making the tag..
I used PTI kraft paper, and Joy Clair Coffee cup background stamp.
Stamped the cups with clear Versa Mark, then, I 
heat embossed those cups with clear powder!!
I stamped  the image
Tricia Girl,  From Unity Stamp Co
Colored her with assorted Copic markers..
Layered some pattern cardstock behind her ...
The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti .
.I used a brad then tied some Hemp cord through the hole! I love using Hemp, and jute on my cards!! 
Added a piece of burlap, (my favorite thing) behind the image!!
I bought this flourish die from my sister in law Traci Cooley, and I have to say, I love it! I have used it 3 times now!! No name on the die, sorry :( 
Distressed the edges of the image and sentiment!! 
and finally, the big green bow at the top (it may be a tad too big, ;) ya think?!? ) 
Viola', all done LOL
I hope you like this tag.
I look forward to your comments
I hope to see you back tomorrow for Day 6

Thanks for looking :)

Hey there!!!
Welcome back for day 4 of the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
I have really enjoyed myself this week.
There are many talented card makers who inspire me!!
For todays card, I started with this beautiful image from Unity Stamp Co, and artist Angie Blom
 called "Hello Love" .. I absolute LOVE Unity's Angie Girl line of stamps. There are so many, with amazing, inspirational sentiments, as well as these gorgeous girls! I've been collecting them for over 8 years!! One can never have too many Angie's in my opinion ;) 
I used the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Dies to cut out the white layer, then dry embossed it with a folder from SU! Then, I used Versa Mark over the embossed part only,
and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder from Stampin' Up! 
I cut the image out with oval dies from Kat Scrappiness.
These dies are so beautiful. They cut through my heavy card stock on one back then forward pass!! Amazing!!
Thank you for stopping by! 
I hope you are enjoying the Hop, and I look forward to reading your comments

Swirly Snowman~


Hey there :)
I made this card from a retired stamp set from Inkadinkado.
I had been looking for this for over a year. I get a PM from my good friend Kim Chong asking me "Is this what you're looking for?"
She sent it to me for Christmas as a gift last year :) This is my first time using it.
I wish you could see the shimmer it has.
Thanks for stopping by :)

All four of these stamps are from Unity Stamp Company. I have been a HUGE fan of their stamps for over 8 years, <3 They really have something for everybody, no matter your taste in stamps. The quality is unmatched, and their prices are very affordable during their many sales ~ right now they are having 55% off site wide ..EEEK!! /https://www.unitystampco.com/ :)

I liked how this card turned out so much that I made several using different embossing folders. It was a fun card.

Pretty in Brown


Hey :) ,
This pretty card was made with SU! Winter Wishes, and chocolate chip cardstock.
I white embossed the inside sentiment.
I wanted you to see the amazing  stamp, "Merry Christmas from The Jordan's" sent to me by my BFF Joanne Rivera. Visit her FB group Stampin' Funn https://www.facebook.com/StampinFunn/ to order one for yourself.
I send out about 75 cards per year, and this stamp has saved me a ton of time!!
The brown sheer ribbon was also a gift. Bo Prior sent me an entire box of sheer ribbon because she doesn't use ribbon anymore, and wanted to "rehome" her stash, LOL
I couldn't have been more grateful :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
