Rabbit Hole Designs and Coffe Lovers Blog Hop

RABBIT HOLE DESIGNS IS IN THE HOUSE

  I'm up with another card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog hop.  For this card I used my new Rabbit Hole Designs The Caffeinated Bear. I saw the Rabbit Hole Designs over on Cassie Trasks  You Tube channel and thought they were adorable. I also used a stencil Mandala Swirl Stencil by Hero Arts.

 Here in this picture in below you can see a sneak peak of the stamp set. I added some black and pink enamel dots to finish off this card.

A BEARY GOOD DAY

 Today on my blog I have a clean and simple card for you. It is a sketch challenge over at  Freshly Made Sketches blog. Once I picked out my stamp set and papers it came together fairly quickly. They have some great inspiration over there for you.

I used the Stamp  Market set called Bear Hugs and the coordinating die set. I was not able to locate the die set. I used paper from my stash and my Magic Cup. You can find that in a previous blog post.

I added some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink behind my cute little bear  and used a colored pencil in Flamingo by Arteza.  I added a strip and heat embossed the sentiment that says  " have a beary good day" A few clear sparkly sequins finish off this clean and simple card.

Rainbow Cards

EASY CARD IDEAS USING MINIMAL SUPPLIES

Today I am sharing some fun and cheery Rainbow cards. These cards were so much fun to make.  I was inspired by several places these week. the first one is The My Favorite Things Challenge Blog. The second  is it's me, JD This is her blog link. You will see all the great cards she made using scraps/strips of paper.

For this first card I followed the challenge sketch over on the My Favorite Things Blog, challenge #488. I used a stamp set by doodlebug designs.  The magical sentiment is from that same set . I used black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The enamel dots are from my stash. The paper strips at the bottom are cut and .25 of an inch.

 

 

This card was fun to make but took some planning. I drew in pencil lines and made 4 equal boxes on my white card stock to begin with, I then picked out my pattern that I wanted and tried to follow that on the whole card front. In the center of the card you can see that I used the pink strip every time I started a new box.

 I think for next time I will make a file on my Cricut to cut the strips because some of mine didn't come the same size. If you try this card you need to make sure your first strip in each section is really straight. A couple of mine are not and the edges have some sliver pieces and I'm ok with that. I used a rectangle die from Pink Fresh Studio along with a circle die from C.C. Designs as well as an alphabet set from Hello Blue Bird for the letters in the center. Both of these cards are a standard A2 size 4.25 x 5.50 top folding card. The black card stock is #110 weight which makes for a nice sturdy card base.

Colorful THANK YOU Card

Good Morning Crafty peeps


 Up on my blog today is a colorful THANK YOU card. This card was very quick and easy to do. I needed a THANK YOU card as 2 of my boys did some work over the weekend for a neighbor. They got paid plus she fed them breakfast and lunch. On top of that she sent the home with cookies as well. Can you believe that? 

 

I first made the color background using Oxide Inks and my blender brush on Bristol Smooth white card stock. Next I cut out the shadow. Then the word Thank you 3 times in white #110 paper and use Reptile glue. I added the word Thank you to the shadow background. I added foam tape to the back of that. I placed it on a white panel that is 4 x 5.25 I took my scoreboard and made score lines every .25 of inch on the front of the panel for some extra interest.

My Magic Mug

This magic mug was inspired by Laurel Beard on You tube link to her channel here. This magic mug was inspired by Laurel Beard on You tube link to her channel here. This is what mine looks like. I got my Rae Dunn inspired mug at Walmart for less then $3.00. I took some black and white card stock from my stash and cut into straps. I also have word die cuts and image die cuts in there. The opening  at the top is  nice and big to hold lots of fun goodies.

 

 

Here is one more picture of the Magic Mug. In this on i have a card front with water colored back ground. All the pieces came from the Magic Mug. Thanks to Laurel I have been having fun digging in my Magic Mug for bits and pieces for my card fronts.

Have a happy crafty day
