Thanksgiving Card with Critters

Good day! Next week we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States and I'm still busy making cards to send to family. My crafting speed definitely doesn't keep up with the calendar and I'm also easily distracted. So, I'm a little behind schedule.😊 This Thanksgiving Card with Critters features the Giving Thanks stamp set by Pretty Pink Posh. The critters were colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating dies. Colors were selected from the leaf paper by Echo Park (Happy Fall paper pad). To frame the little scene two narrow stripes of patterned paper were added and then I used the sewing machine to add stitching. Everything was adhered flat and that's it! Thanks for stopping by.

Bunny Brew Card

Hello and happy Friday 13th!!! I made this Bunny Brew Card to share for the last day of the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. While scrolling through the hop entries I found another card (HERE) using this Dir-TEA Bunny image and it made me remember I bought this stamp set over the summer. I had completely forgot! 😊

To make this card I first selected the leaf paper from the Pumpkin Spice paper pad by Doodlebug Designs. Then selected coordinating paper colors and decided to color the bunny light brown using Copic Markers. Once the image was colored it was die cut with the coordinating die. A simple center focused layout was used and the Hopping By To Say Hi sentiment from the Springtime Sentiments by Trinity Stamps was added. That's it! Thank you for stopping by my blog and I wish you a wonderful day. 

Iced Coffee Card

Good day! If you love coffee, tea, cocoa, hot cider, etc... then you should check out the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop going on right now until November 13th. There are lots of great prizes up for grabs and it's fun to see all the different creations. ☕

This is my second card for the hop and it features my favorite coffee beverage... an iced coffee. I prefer mine without whipped cream, just to save a few calories. To make this card I started with the green brick patterned paper by Bo Bunny (Stay Awhile Collection 2017). Then I stamped the image by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous (Fresh Brewed 2015) and colored it with Copic markers. A scrap piece of paper from the first card I made was used (black coffee cups from the Coffee paper pad by Echo Park 2020). Lastly I found a great sentiment from the Coffee Break stamp set by Jaded Blossom and stamped it onto a piece of scrap woodgrain paper. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Dove Card - TMS #580

Hello! It seems like last week drug on forever but it's Tuesday again and time to start another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This weeks sketch was designed by Debbie Foster and it's really simple. For this Dove Card I have rotated the sketch, created an inky background and added stitching around the edge. The dove image and sentiment are by Unity Stamps from the Mourning Dove sentiment kit which I fussy-cut. That's it, simple and easy. We would love for you to join us this week and share how you interpret the sketch. Click HERE for all the challenge details and design team inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day!

Happy Coffee Card

Hello crafty friends and fellow coffee/tea lovers! I have a quick post to share this Happy Coffee Card I made for the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. This card features a stamp from the Choose Happy stamp set by Simon Says Stamp along with patterned papers from the Coffee paper pad by Echo Park with a gingham frame cut from a scrap of Doodlebug Designs Inc paper. The frame was cut with an Avery Elle Reversed Pinked Die. A little yellow was added for a pop of color and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day!

When it comes to drinking coffee I love a good cold brew or an iced vanilla coffee. In winter if it's really cold outside I'll drink hot coffee and I like it dark with cream and sugar. ☕☕☕

Better with Sprinkles Card

Good day! I have a quick post to share this Better with Sprinkles Card that I made using the sketch from the Inky Paws challenge. The Newton's Donut image goes perfectly with the new Pumpkin Spice paper pad by Doodlebug Design Inc. Copic markers were used to color the image and the coordinating die was used to cut it out. I left the cat mainly white with a little Brick White detail and everything was adhered flat. This was a pretty easy card. I'm also entering this card into the anything goes challenge at Cute Card Thursday. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Thankful Turkey Card - TMS #579

It's hard to believe that November has arrived. Now that Halloween is behind us I'll be focusing on my Thanksgiving Cards. I mail about a dozen or more to family and friends. 🦃 Do you send handmade Thanksgiving cards to your family? 

This weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches was perfect for this Thankful Turkey Card. I've had this digital image printed for several years. It was left over from cards I made back in 2016, so I decided it was time for it to appear on it's own card. 🦃

The challenge details and design team inspiration for Tuesday Morning Sketches can be found HERE. We would love for you to join us this week! All you have to do is make a creation using this weeks sketch and link it to the challenge post by 8 pm EST on Sunday. I'm glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day. 🦃
