May Your Path Always Lead You Home

Hey guys I'm up here on the Blogger making a card for Pammies Inky Pinkies Weekly Challenge #2608.  Head over to join in on the fun and prizes!  This week is anything goes so I made another card featuring Doodlebug for St. Patty's Day.

I don't know why I am making so many St. Patty's Day cards, I don't know anyone who is Irish😂 

For today's card, I  Pulled a couple of pattern papers from Miss Kate and layered them onto a green metallic paper for my base.

I reached into my Over the Rainbow Collection and used two of the mushroom houses and this cute hedgehog.  

I printed the sentiment, adhered it to my card along with some bling... easy peasy it's D-O-N-E!

Don't forget to head over to Pammies Inky Pinkies for some fun, inspiration and prizes each week!

Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope I inspired you to make a card and put a smile on someone's face today.

Stay crafty

Sending Luck & Love

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with a St. Patty's Card playing along with not one but two challenges this week.  Simon Says Stamp and Double Trouble Paper Crafting.  Both were a challenge and got me thinking outside the box.  To join in or to just get some inspiration click on the links I provided.

For Simon Says Stamp the challenge was WHEELS...so you had to make a card with wheels somewhere on it so when I saw this image I knew this would be the card to make.  For the Double Trouble Challenge boy those girls really make you work for it!  Here is the recipe:↓

So for my card I used a digi stamp I purchased off of Etsy...20 images for $2 and they are all St. Patty themed (click here for the shop).  I think this card hit on all of the 3,2,1 requirements and I am not mad at it.  I will say I put the pattern paper in the embossing folder wrong so I got a de-boss instead of an emboss but I still love the look and it still counts!

Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope I was able to inspire you to make a card and put a smile on someone's face.

Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025

Hey guys, I'm here hopping along with this years Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog hop.  Here is a link to find all the info and how to hop along with everyone.

Here is my 3rd Coffee Card and I decided to try something I've been trying to figure out how to do for a while.  Have you ever seen a card that looks like it's popped out with the same image but in different dimensions?  I really don't know how it's done but I gave it a shot, you can tell me in the comments if you think I got it right or if I'm close.  

I started off with a paper pad from the awesome Brass & Bliss company.  I discovered them (I actually won a gift card on one the the Coffee Lover's Blog hops) and have been buying from them ever since!  

They have some of the most fabulous stamps and dies ever and their paper pads are amazing!  The one I'm using is called Java Good Time.  I used 2 different papers, one for the card front and the other to die cut.

I cut the base down to an A2 card size and then I took my new dies from Whimsy stamps (oh I really have to say this is one of my most FAVORITE stores) This die is called  STAINED GLASS WINDOW and it was on CLEARANCE for $5 so YES PLEASE!  I used ALL the dies at the same time and die cut the patterned paper.  I then adhered the first 2 to my card front, then I used foam tape strips to pop up the next two and then the last two I adhered directly to the card front.  It gives it a dimensional look but still not quite what I was going for but I'm not mad at it.

I then reached for my stamp and dies from Brass & Bliss...how cute is that sloth?  

I used some Copic and Spectrum Noir markers to color and shade in the image.  I also grabbed a coffee stamp from another stamp set from Brass & Bliss and stamped the sentiment.

I added some foam tape behind the middle of the image so it adheres to the card front as well as the pattern paper.  I added some bling to the top and some in the middle but I was going for a steamy kind of flow...not sure that really worked out but they were down and, yeap, not mad at it!

That's it, this one was pretty quick and I do like the dimension of the dies that still show the patterns where they are suppose to be.  What do you think?

Thanks for hanging out with me for this hop and I hope to see you hopping along with us!

Have a crafty day!

Card - Joy To The World (Winter Bear)

Hi guys, I'm back up on my blog to share another card I made for the 3-2-1 Challenge over on the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Blog Post.  The challenge from Thing 1 is to do 3 colors (I chose a black & white pattern paper, a red & white pattern paper and a bright green pattern paper as my 3),  at least 2 layers and at least 1 warm and cuddly image...I'm pretty sure this bear is both warm and cuddly😆

I started with a White A2 card base and added a slightly smaller Christmas music pattern paper on top and then reached for my CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS CHRISTMAS CHARACTER die set and die cut and pieced together this Winter Bear.  I love this die set...it comes with 3 different characters (Fox, Deer and this Bear) and you can use any pattern papers to make them fun and for different seasons or just cut all the pieces out in White and use your markers.  It also comes with some awesome wonky frames that I am in love with, they are so versatile!

After I pieced the bear together I cut 2 different sizes of those wonky frames out of some Christmas pattern paper I had in my stash and adhered them down.  I popped the bear up on some foam tape and added a sentiment from my stash to finish it off.  I love this card for the mere fact that I used ALL OLD STASH! I so love when that happens.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
