National Coffee Day Blog Hop - CAS-ual Fridays

Hello, CAS-ual Fridays is one of the many sponsors of the National Coffee Day Blog Hop over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers.
You can click HERE to take you over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog for all the hop details.

For my card today I have used the Coffee Talk stamp set and the Coffee Cup Fri-Dies.
I started by smooshing some watercolour inks onto a piece of watercolour paper and when it was dry I die cut the large coffee cup from it.  I then die cut a heap of the smaller cup in white card stock and adhered them all onto a card panel.  I die cut the "coffee" sentiment from black card stock and adhered that onto the coffee cup then stamped the sentiment underneath.

Make sure you hop over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see all the coffee cards the DT has made.

I chose Sparkle and Pearl for my card today.  I used the gorgeous butterfly stencil from Visible Image with a few different shades of blue ink.  With the stencil still in place, I sprayed some perfect pearls. I then removed the stencil and added some spots of glue using a glue pen, then sprinkled it with glitter.  

It's really sparkly and pearly in real life!

WWC240 - Kath's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Hello and happy Wednesday, it's time for a new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday and Kath is our host this week with an "All About Occasions" Challenge.

I have made a birthday card using a gorgeous background stamp from Catherine Pooler Designs called "Climbing Flowers".

I stamped the image onto a piece of Neenah 80lb card stock with versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Then I ink blended three different colours of CP inks using  blending brush.  I die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a card base with some fun foam.  I added a sentiment strip from The Ton digital stamps.

We would love to see you join in on the challenge.  All you have to do is make a  card for any occasion and link it up to the challenge blog HERE.  Make sure you check out all the other DT cards for some inspiration.

You have until Tuesday, 1st October at 09.00am Melbourne Time or Monday 30th September 5pm US Mountain Time to link up your project.

MFT 2019 Card Design Superstar Contest

Hello, today I have made a card for the MFT 2019 

Card Design Superstar contest Clean and Simple Genius category.

I recently purchased the Tweet Friends stamp set and I can't stop using it!  Those little singing birds are so cute!

I started by sponging some pink ink using the MFT Mix-ables cloud stencil and kept it to the lower right hand corner. I stamped the bird onto a separate piece of card stock and coloured it in with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils. I fussy cut the image out and adhered it onto my stencilled background with some foam tape for a bit of dimension.  I stamped the sentiment from the same set and adhered that directly underneath the bird then stamped some of the music notes directly onto the card panel.  I cut my card panel slightly smaller than my card base and adhered it with a piece of craft foam.

I hope you like my card today.
