Coffee and The Bunny

Hello.  Just a quick card using a "new to me" stamp set from Teri Anderson and Technique Tuesday.  

Sassy Coffee is such a fun set and I am loving all the stamps.  

 I created the shaker using the new Honey Bee Stamps Candy Hearts, love them!  I added one of the stamped sentiments from Sassy Coffee as a hidden sentiment behind the shaker hearts:  Half Human. Half Coffee.

The die cut is a Studio cut file from Sweet Afton, Dear Coffee, that's ALL you have to say, I purchased and LOVE it!

And I have been creating Easter decor using recycled oatmeal containers and the new Pebbles Night Night Collection.  Although it's a baby collection, the pink in this line is soft and springy and this paper

Hello coffee ♥️

Good morning! I’m back today with my card for this week’s challenge at Inspired By.   This week’s challenge was really fun and inspiring.  The DT gave lots of interpretations and projects and they’re all amazing, definitely check them out!

At first glance I thought I would stick with the circles but then as I took time to look again, I decided that there was way more to be inspired by (in addition to the circles).   At first, the cheesecake kinda made me draw a blank but then it came to me... what goes more perfectly with dessert than coffee?  (I don’t need dessert or any excuse to drink coffee, but I digress....smile).  So I decided on a coffee theme (I give lots of coffee gift baskets and cards, and it’s always great to have cards or tags on hand to do so). 

 I wanted to really stay true to the colors since it’s a big focal and the fork kept sticking out to me so I decided I needed to add stripes to represent the tines of the fork.  Lots of things in this one inspired me and I really look forward to seeing how it inspires all of you!

I hope you’ll hop over to the blog, check out our awesome guest designer and play along with us this week.

Inspired by...got mail?

Hello, Happy Wednesday! Wednesday means another challenge over at Inspired By.  This week’s challenge is such a cute one and I can’t wait to see all the inspiration from everyone.  Here is the inspiration picture Laurel chose for this week

Isn’t it the cutest? 

Woodland animals, Valentine’s, critters, love, “happy mail”, winter, there’s so many ways to be inspired by this cute picture and I am really looking forward to seeing everyone’s creations.

I created two different cards inspired by the picture because it gave me a perfect reason to use two digital cuts from the Silhouette store that I hadn’t found the time to use yet. 

Don’t Worry card

On this card, I used the Raccoon Woodland Creature by Sarah Bailey.  There are so so many cute raccoons on the Silhouette store, but this one by Sarah just had the cutest little expression, one that I had in my head when picturing the sentiment for the card.  I used the Love Mailbox by Loni Stevens on this card so it had the “Love” word on it, contrasting with the “bandit” idea.

I wanted to use the raccoon with the idea that he doesn’t want to “steal the love”, alternately he is mailing the love, in a sense “giving it”.  Raccoons are the cutest little bandits with their masks, so I decided to add some “smart-looking” glasses, like he had gotten smarter.  I played with a bunch of sentiment ideas, but finally decided on:  Don’t worry, I’ve mailed it in (like he’s given up the stealing) and inside of the card reads:  Love, The Love Bandit.  

I hope it all makes sense outside my mind…giggle.

Sending Hedgehugs card




This card was completely inspired by the cute digital cut that I hadn’t used until this challenge.  I am  creating several cards using it for friends and family, looove.  I used the Valentine Hedgehog by Sarah Bailey for this one.  I also used the Mailbox digital cut from Snapdragon Snippets.  I have used this one before and knew it would be perfect for this inspiration picture with the cute little letters in the picture.  SO much to be inspired by with Laurel’s challenges.

For the inside of the card, I wanted to create a fun presentation for the sending hedgehugs sentiment, so I cut a much larger envelope and embellished it with the rest of the sentiment. 

I can’t wait to see how this challenge will inspire you and to see what you were inspired by. 

Happy creating♥

CAS challenge...love

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

What a game huh?  Wow.  Entertaining, fun and filled with excitement!  Superbowl games can be that way every year if you ask me, we've been so spoiled the last two years!

I am back with a card I created for another challenge this week, AAA card challenges.  The challenge is to create a CAS card with a love theme.  I have been cleaning up my desk from creating all weekend when I decided I needed to use up some scraps (I have the hardest time ever throwing out a single scrap).  This CAS love-themed challenge came to-mind because the challenges love white-space and that means scraps are perfect for the white space.

                                                          Love card

Love card details

I used a scrap piece of patterned paper, layered it with a scrap piece of vellum.  I cut the heart from a Lori Whitlock design from the Silhouette store.  I resized the heart in her 3D Yin Yang card design to create the heart and used the Hanging Hearts file by Jen Martakis to create the hanging bow.

This was such a fun challenge and a fun site with loads of inspiration for CAS cards.

Heartfelt Love

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

I was inspired by a sketch over at MyFavorite Things this week and I saved the image so as to use it to create more Valentines. 

 Isn't this sketch perfect for the puffy hearts?

 I love this  time of year, it’s a time for me, similar to Christmas, where I take the time to tell my loved ones (with a just because kind of card) that I love them and how much they mean to me, and the cards get to have HEARTS, they’re expected to have hearts….beautiful♥ 



 Heartfelt Love heart details

Heartfelt Love card

On my card I created an embellishment heart.  I love the puffy stickers, they're so cute, however, I needed a  bigger puffy embellishment for Valentine’s Day, BIG hearts (insert smiley).  So, I set out to create a few that would be a big focal.  These cards are being hand-delivered so I wasn’t worried about the bulkiness of the heart.  They are pillowed and puffy and “heartfelt”.

 Heartfelt Love details

Inside the card reads: 

  I will be posting a quick picture tutorial tomorrow about the creation of these embellishments, easy, quick, fun.  I hope you’ll pop back in to take a look.

Happy creating♥

xo repeat.

Hello.  Just a quick post to share my first valentine of the season.  

I wanted to play with the sentiment "xo" because it is one of my favorite sentiments on Valentine's Day.  I decided to cut it large and make it the focal, but wanted it to feel more like an embellishment instead of a sentiment. 

 I pulled out my heart punch and decided to layer the hearts onto the letters of my sentiment.

Thank you so much for visiting.
