Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Hop 2025 - Hang in there, Taking one day at a time.

Hey guys, I'm here participating on the 2025 Coffee Lovers FallWinter Hop.  I am always so excited this time of year because this hop is full of amazing sponsors, talented card maker and fun prizes! If you have never participated I will leave a link to all the fun, inspiration and prizes to be had (click here).

I just got some Doodlebug bits and pieces from their Happy Healing collection and OMG I just love them...I'm a sucker for Doodlebug.  

This card came together pretty quick.  I started off with some inks from CTMH (oh I so miss that company).  I started with Shortbread and then went to Sundance and then added some Twisted Citron Distressed Oxide, trying to pull in those shades of tan, yellow and green from the ephemera pieces.  

I reached into my packs of Doodlebug and pulled 5 of them...that mug and lemons with the ginger was definitely a focal point so all I had to do was add a couple more pieces...the HOME REMEDIES and the FEELING THE LOVE was perfect to add in some more of the green.  I added the banner at the top and then pulled in some yellow to balance it out with the banner at the bottom.

After adhering it all down (I used some foam tape for the focal pieces) I then adhered that to an A2 card size base that pulled in some of the brownish tan of the ginger root.  

How quick and easy was that?!  Who says a card has to be complicated to be awesome.  Thanks so much for hanging out with me and I hope you head over to the hop and find some inspiration.

Have a crafty day,

Squeeze the Day Card

Hey guys I'm up on my blog doing another challenge for the Double Trouble Paper Crafting gals.  Here is a link to their fun blog so you can join in too!

This week's challenge is #183, SAY CHEESE & SMILE.  Here are the parameters of the challenge:

3 images of your choice, 2 pattern papers, 1 sentiment that makes you smile.

Today I am doing a card I made with the YOU'RE THE ZEST stamp set from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment Squeeze the Day always makes me smile!  It includes this cute lemon with different smiley faces...I mean too cute right?

I started off with an A2 size lime green card stock to match the bright colors of the Doodlebug pattern paper I used.  I mean how cute is that paper!?  I cut that slightly smaller than the lime green and adhered it down.  

I went into my nesting dies of tags and cut 2 different size and style tags in coordinating colors and addend twine.  I also went into my stitched circles and found the perfect size, cut that and inked it in SQUEEZED LEMONADE just to give it a little color. 

I found these cute little leaves in a die pack and cut them using the same color card stock as the card.  I grabbed one other stitched die to use on the sentiment and adhered it down and BAM! Done.  

This card came together super fast and ticked all the boxes on the challenge so I am super happy with it.
