Merry Wishes Penguins Card

I'm still playing with bits of leftover Christmas wrapping paper on my card making.  The borders on this card are from some Charlie Brown gift paper one of my presents was wrapped in.  Along with the cute Charlie Brown and Snoopy characters on the paper, it had several knitted looking borders.  I love the look it added to this card.  :)  The stamps and sentiments are from Pretty Pink Posh (Penguin Pals).  The embossing folder and diecuts are by Sizzix.  Bam)....One less card to make next Christmas!  ;)  These fun penguins are going to skate by:

Ho Ho Ho Santa Card

Sharing a another card I did for the Jingle Belles "No Time Like The Presents" challenge.  Since my word die cut was long shaped, I decided this card needed to be a 4 inch by 9 inch.  I trimmed the Santa image from leftover Christmas paper and adhered to a patterned paper panel.  I did a large twine bow and adhere to patterned paper for the finishing touch.  Easy peasy card!  :)  I'm off to a good start with my cards for next Christmas.  Thanks for stopping by and remember to stay crafty.

Eat, Drink & Be Merry Card

Happy New Year!  This is my favorite holiday!  All of the Christmas decorations have been packed away and my house is clean.  I love to craft and watch the Rose Parade.  The first challenge of the new year is up at Jingle Belles and I couldn't wait to make a card for it!  :)  The challenge is called "No Time Like The Presents" and calls for you to use wrapping paper on your creation.  My snowman on this card is from a roll I used to wrap presents this past Christmas.  I didn't use all the roll and it was the first one I grabbed for this challenge.  It has cute characters all eating something yummy (a snowman, a reindeer and a Santa) on done on a tan background.  I trimmed the snowman from the paper (and look out for a reindeer and Santa card later).  ;)  I found the perfect sentiment for the image (since he is eating a popsicle).  It is from a new stamp set I ordered from Scrapbook.com (Christmas Fun Card Sentiments).  The background was done by dry embossing a snowflake pattern and rubbing the raised snowflakes with Versamark.  Next I heat embossed with white powder before using Ken Oliver Colorburst powders.  I glued some star sequins and a bow for the finishing touch.  So I'm off and running getting ready for next Christmas!!!!!  ;)  Remember to stay crafty and Happy New Year!

Depresso Coffee Card

I'm sharing another card I did for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I used a funny sentiment stamp by Riley and Company (Depresso).  Mixed it with some fun die cut letters by Sizzix (cut from purple fun foam) and a cup die cut (from orange white and purple cardstocks).  The floral stamp on the coffee cup is by Casual Fridays (retired I "think"). Bright colors and humorous sentiment plus coffee theme makes for a fun time in the old craft room.  ;)

Coffee Born Card

The Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is in full swing so be sure to go check it out!  I spent time in my craft room this morning where I was listening to my favorite station on SiriusXM and happily creating.  :)  I used the current Color Throwdown colors as my inspiration for this card.  The sentiment stamp is by Sugar Pea Designs (The Perfect Blend set).  I cut the coffee cup with my Silhouette Cameo (#29511 Coffee Cup).  The embossing folder and die cut letters are by Sizzix.  All the cardstock colors are by Stampin'Up!

Coffee Elf

I managed to hide out in my craft room a few minutes after dinner tonight to make another card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Yay!  Lots of fun prizes and marvelous coffee card inspiration so make sure to check it out!  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the words (#229730 Elf Runs On Coffee).  The stamp image and sentiment are MFT (BB Santa's Elves).  I used a coffee cup image from (BB Friends At First Sip).  I'm linking this caffeinated elf up at:

Moosing Coffee Card

There are lots of things to look forward to this time of year and one of them is the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  :)  I'm busier than usual and have not been able to do any card making this week (or as I call it "therapy.")  :)  I was determined to make at least one card this morning before that thing we call "life" got in the way.

I didn't have a lot of "card-therapy" time so I decided to use one of my favorite color combos of black, white and red. I used new MFT stamps (BB Sweater Weather In The Woods) and my Silhouette Cameo (#52301 Christmas Coffee Cup) to create a quick card.  I also used a Sizzix embossing folder with stars and a coffee sentiment die cut by Lil' Inkers Design.  I'm linking this fun moose card up at:
