JustRite Papercraft Coffee House #2 - Fall Coffee Loving Blog Hop

Hi, this is a quick and simple card using #CoffeeHouse by JustRite Papercraft that I'm entering in the final hours of the Fall 2016 Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog Hop!

I paired up this great sentiment with the tiny cup from the stamp set, along with this gorgeous die set, also by #JustRite.  I'll link all the JustRite products below :)

In addition, I used papers from the gorgeous Fall Plaid paper pack by #LawnFawn and enamel dots from Echo Park along with a little gold twine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kat Scrappiness and Cheery Lynn Dies Witches Skirt Part 2!

Kat Scrappiness Shop - Enter Here

Hi everyone!  I'm back this month with Kat Scrapiness showing off this really cute die set by #CheeryLynn called #WitchesSkirt again.  You may not recognize it as the same die I used last time because I changed the look.  Everytime I saw those stockings, I thought, Wizard Of Oz, so i had to go for it!

I created my base by taking a brick embossing folder (for my yellow brick road) and ran a piece of light yellow card stock through my Big Shot.  I then distress inked it using #FossilizedAmber  I cut a piece of black cardstock (slightly smaller than A2 sized) and angled the brick and trimmed off the excess on all 3 sides.  Then I took the largest die from the #KatScrappinessStitchedRectangles and cut some kraft cardstock strips for the house siding.  I layered it on an angle and trimmed the 3 sides to match the base cardstock.

I ran the #CheeryLynnWitchesSkirt die through my Big Shot with both black and white cardstock.  I cut the shoes off, rubbed liquid glue on them and dipped in a ruby red glitter.  I cut the skirt a 3rd time in a lime green to create a layered skirt bottom and I trimmed the top of the skirt down just so it would show only on the edge of the house.  I cut out the little tag which is by #LawnFawn called #TinyTags and used a sentiment from the matching set called #TinyTagSayings  Before I stamped the sentiment in #VersaFineOnyx, I distress inked the tag in #HickorySmoke using this super cute #cobwebstencil by #EchoPark

I finished off with some sequins by #KatScrapiness in the #MargartiaMix and some enamel dots and plaid ribbon by May Arts.

I hope you like my project, please leave a comment if you have time!  And don't forget to visit Kat Scrappiness to shop for the great products you've seen here today!

JustRite Papercraft Coffee House #1 - Fall Coffee Loving Blog Hop

I'm back with a second card for this awesome Fall Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog Hop!


Today I wanted to show you a card that I made using the very popular stamp set CoffeHouse by #JustRitePapercraft   It's a large set, full of great images and endless possibilities!

I created the background base using the stripe in the brand new #PlayfulPaintedTrioBackground Stamps on kraft cardstock. Then I distressed the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink and splattered with some watered down white acrylic paint and added gold glitter Doodlebug dots.

The tiny cups on the banner and large cup were all watercolored with distress inks..doesn't that look like paper you'd buy?  Nope, I created that look using stamps and distress inks, I just love it!

So here are the JustRite products that I've used to create this card:

KatScrappiness DT Halloween Project - Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone, I'm so excited today to show you my very first DT project for KatScrappiness!  I'm here showing you this really fun die by Cheery Lynn Designs named "Witches Skirt".

I started with a 5x5 black cardstock base.  I used the Uniball White Gel Pen to create the dot and dash pattern all the way around the perimeter, then layered some orange swirled pattern paper and my Bats #2 Stencil by Echo Park Paper Co.

Witches Skirt Die - Click to Shop at KatScrappiness!

I didn't have any Halloween themed background paper, which is shocking considering I have sooo much paper!  So instead I used this really fun stencil above ^^^ by Echo Park Paper to create the background bats.  I just started with some purple cardstock and used some Wilted Violet Distress Ink by Ranger to create the tone on tone.  Then I lightly hit the edges with a little Black Soot Distress Ink.

I cut out my Witches Skirt in Black and then cut the words "Happy Halloween" out in the swirled orange and then one more time on the legs in white to make my striped socks!  

I added some of the really pretty sequins from KatScrappiness Spooky Sparkles mix 

And lastly some lime green eyelash yarn which I thought was kind of fun across the top and went with the sequins too.

Well, thanks for stopping by today and I hope you liked my project.  There are plenty of links here on my page, so hop on over to KatScrappiness for a little shopping!

Reverse Confetti Cute As A Button with Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid

Hi everyone, it's hump daaaay!  So I'm here showing you a couple of really simple baby cards that I'll be attaching to gift bags for two special little bundles of joy!  

My husband and I own a business and a long time ago, we decided one thing we'd do is spoil our customers when they have babies. We fill the largest gift bags we can find full of fun baby stuff.  It always goes over amazingly well, the new parents are so excited!  I love shopping for babies, so it's a win for me too.  

So just recently, we welcomed 2 new little ones into our work family, a boy and a girl!  I needed to make a couple of gift cards quickly.  I was so fortunate to be able to grab this set, "Cute As A Button" by Reverse Confetti!  I'll list all my products used below for you, just click on the pics to shop!  

The dimensions of these cards are 4x4 and the plaid layer is 3.5x3.5.  Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my little baby cards!
