My first card for the hop!!

 

I used pink & Main 6X6 paper pack called 

Pumpkin Spice

and their newest stamp set 

Pumpkin Spice 

(available for PRE-ORDER now with this 

<<<LINK>>>

 

My second card

My third card

 

All 3 cards were colored with Copics

I used the Stitched leaves from Lawn Fawn on all 3 cards

This stamp on my 4th and 5th card for the hop is from

Ink Road Stamps~ Michelle is now sold out .. 

 

I colored Michelle with Copics and used pretty (retired) Papertrey Ink pattern paper.. I try to always use ribbon or burlap on my cards. I found I had sage green sheer ribbon in my growing stash and it added a soft touch to this card. Adding some Paper Studio flowers and leaves finished it off!

My 5th card

 

I couldn't wait to make this Fall scene card with Michelle!!
It turned out so cute (I wish you could see it in person) 

here's a few close ups 

 

Well, that's it for me!! 

I want to thank pink & Main for their ongoing sponsorship of Coffee Loving Cardmakers, and for sponsoring my blog this weekend!!! So awesome, right?? 

I was lucky enough to attend the ~SSAT~ Stamp Scrap Art Tour last weekend in Duluth Georgia

They are so sweet, as you can imagine

Coffee Loving Cardmakers~ September

Hey there, what's brewin'?? 

Welcome back to Robyn's Nest

For this months card I used Spring To Go

from Unity Stamp Company

  

 

I started off with pattern paper from 

Papertrey Ink in Winter Wisteria

 I used the stitched scalloped frame die from Poppy

stamped the image, then used copics to color in the flowers to match.

I used some glitter tulle off to the side. 

Punched a couple butterflies from my Martha Stewart punch and added some bling to their middle.

the "hello" die is something I've had a while and I cannot remember who makes it ..

I hope you like my card for this month!! 

Thanks for stopping by

Welcome ladies!!!

My 1st card for this months hop is keeping a little bit of Summer .. 

To make this card, all I did was swirl 5 different distress inks for the background..

mounted it onto black cardstock

Then, using the butterfly, and sentiment  from the KOM 5/17

  Free Your Dreams << Link,

 

 I stamped the image directly onto the background piece~

For the sentiment, I did emboss it with clear ep, 

As an afterthought, I used white acrylic paint , watered down a bit and flicked it onto the entire card 

(I kinda wish I had done that before I did my stamping) 

then tied the eyelash ribbon around the middle...

For my second card...

I used the KOM 7/17

Glittering Eyes ~ Link<<< 

 

 

I started out with kraft cardstock, and matching pattern paper from 

Papertrey Ink

I stamped the butterflies directly onto the pattern paper, and then clear embossed it

On a second piece of kraft cs, I stamped the sentiment, and clear embossed it as well

then I distressed the edges of the paper with matching ink.. (love doing that )

I had to think on this card for a long time.. 

the sentiment needed to be boardered and I just couldn't find anything that looked good....

so, when I get stuck, I start cleaning~ LOL~ 

yep...you never know what you'll find under that mess.. 

then I spotted my roll of burlap!! 

YAY! 

 

The sentiment is from Lilli Girl~ Link <<<   

 

I sat back down, and started layering..

First I cut the burlap long enough to be seen..

 I bought some burlap flowers at Michael's and they always come in handy!! 

I cut  some leaves from a Sizzix die set

Glued down the leaves, then added the flowers!!

I love using ribbon! 

I had this espresso colored sheer ribbon from

 CTMH and it looked perfect..I did put a little curl in the ribbon ;)

 

If you look closely, you can see the word "love" that is in the stamp..

 I never noticed it until I stamped it!! 

That just made my day!

 It is so sweet..like a hidden message you hope the recipient of the card notices, too.

The little blue bird is from a 3D sticker pack I've had a long time!!

I like to mention that the sweet basket weave coffee was a gift from Lisa Burton Bradford 

Well, that's it for me!! 

I hope we have given you some inspiration with our love for Unity stamps!!
