CAS Masculine

I needed another masculine birthday card, so hide the ribbon and gems! I went kind of CAS and just stamped the Spellbinders Evergreen trees with Memento Cottage Ivy and then added WOW Clear Embossing powder and heat embossed to add some texture. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Ranger Archival Watering Can ink. I added Pewter Embossing powder and heat embossed the sentiment. The Golfer silhouette die is from Gina Marie. The card stock panels were cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies.

Peace and Joy

I made another Holly themed Christmas card, this time using an upcycled Starbucks holiday cup as my printed paper. I am usually not a fan of pink mixed in with red and green, but I like this mug! It was die cut with CAS-ual Fridays die. I used a Holly Background embossing folder to emboss the white panel (hard to see in the picture). The red and white panel were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. The holly sprigs are from a punch. The sentiment is Unity Stamps and the gems are from my stash.

CAS Coffee

This is the last card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I’ve run out of time and energy, but certainly not craft supplies!!!

The coffee image is from Unity Stamps, colored with Copics. The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps Brew Ha Ha. No bling, no frills-just CAS ( which is not my normal style).

Holly time

I had to try out this gorgeous stamp from Unity called Cherished Holly. The Holly image and the sentiment are from the set. The coffee cup is from a company called Skipping Stones (I can’t find their website, so they may have closed). Images were colored with Copics.

Holly reminds me of Christmas when I was young. We had a big Holly bush in the backyard and we would cut a sprig off and tie it on the wrapping on the plates of homemade cookies we would give the neighbors.

Tea of Many Colors

Once I cut a few strips of this Crafters Consortium Ink Drops Candy paper for my last card, I decided to let the paper do the work. I used Scrapbook.com’s Slimline Strip dies to cut the remaining 6x6 piece of paper. The tea cup dies are from The Cat’s Pajamas (only sell Digi stamps now). The Sentiment is Unity and the sentiment banner was die cut from a My Creative Time die set. Gems are from my stash.

Freshly Made Sketches and Coffee

I loved the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week and had to combine it with a coffee theme.

Paper strips were cut from Crafters Consortium Ink Drops Candy paper (rainbow heaven!), using Scrapbook.com Slimline Strip dies.

Coffee mugs and musical note are from CAS-ual Fridays (out of business). Sentiment is from My Creative Time and it was heat embossed with WOW Platinum embossing powder.

Yes, I love this Coffee Mug die from Trinity Stamps! It makes a nice sized card that fits in an A2 envelope.

I decided to use some of this printed panel from a coffee bag from Goldberry Roasting Company in Ashland, OH. They did a fundraiser for a relative’s hockey team. I used Spellbinders Labels Twenty-two die set to cut it and the gold panel. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

The mug card die is from Trinity Stamps. Printed paper is from Memory Box. I bought the wood block Santa stamp, by Stampabilities on clearance a few years ago for $1. He was colored with Copics. I used MFT Pierced Circle dies to cut the image and a background circle. Glossy Accents adds some shine to the black coffee.

Beachy Birthday

This is a similar card to another card that I posted in July. I used printed papers from Authentique Fresh Collection. This beach scene makes life look so simple-a family innocently enjoying a summer day at the beach. Life in the present isn’t quite so simple or innocent anymore. All the more reason to create and send this card to a good friend!

I used a Postage Stamp die from MFT to cut the red panel behind the beach scene. The seashells were embossed and cut from water color paper with Memory Box Dazzling Seashells Embossing folder and Matching dies. I colored them with Zig markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer. The sentiment banner was die cut with a set from My Creative Time. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set, stamped with Memento Lady Bug ink. Gems are from my stash.

Vintage Simplicity

A few years ago, the JoAnns by me had this vintage Simplicity woodblock stamp set by Inkadinkado and I couldn’t resist buying it. My sisters and I had “Home Economics” in 7th and 8th grade. We learned to sew and cook. I actually enjoyed sewing and made a few things. My oldest sister also sewed a few pieces of her wardrobe. I remember seeing these sketched models on some of the pattern envelopes.

I colored the image with Copics and added the panel to some printed card stock (Echo Park Happy Days) that reminds me of a vinyl tablecloth from the 1950-1960’s era. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.

Bee Day

I’m back with another birthday day card for a granddaughter. I love these bees from Honey Bee Stamps-they’re just so happy. The patterned paper and pink panel were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. The word Bee was die cut with a 3 part set from Honey Bee Stamps. I colored the flowers and bees and fussy cut them. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the flower centers and the bee wings and a few pink gems.

Ever After

I used NBUS Lawn Fawn’s Critters Ever After to make a birthday card for one of my grand daughters. Making scenes with little animals and buildings is not in my comfort zone. I colored the images with Copics. Once I started adding all of the fussy cut pieces, I realized that I should have made a background sky, like stenciled clouds or something. Oh well, there’s always next time. The plaid frame was die cut using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. The bee is from a Honey Bee stamp set. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the animals and the heart.

Ready, Set Christmas Challenge

I saw the sketch challenge at MFT and knew just what stamp I wanted to use to put in the circle-it’s a woodblock Stampabilities Vintage Santa. I added a little color with Copics. The sentiment is also a Stampabilities woodblock stamp and I had to use some gold embossing powder to match the thin lines in the patterned paper, which is from Memory Box Christmas Plaid 6 x 6 paper pad. I die cut the circle using an MFT Pierced Circle Stax die. The sentiment shape was die cut with and old Lifestyle Crafts nesting die and popped up with some foam adhesive.
