Coffee Lovers.......

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Monday!!!! Today it's all about the Coffee. Actually, everyday is all about Coffee for me because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Coffee, LOL! And that is why I just had to stop everything and play with the new Shoptastic Cuties Coffee files from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

My first card is created using the Shopstastic Cuties - Togo Coffee Cutie which you can find here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1138

The second card is created using the Shoptastic Cuties - Coffee Pot Cutie which you can find here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1139

And the third card was created using the Shoptastic Cuties - Coffee Cup Cutie which can be found here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1140

All three cards measure 4.5" x 6.75" and are made using Bazzill & ReCollections card stock.  I uploaded the svg file to my Cricut Explore and cut out each piece. Once all pieces were cut, I chalked each one using Color Box Chalk Inks (Creamy Brown, Gray Whale, Blackbird, Aquamarine, Rose Coral, Maroon & Dark Brown) as well as Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tea Dye) and Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks (Shimmer Shades).  Once all pieces were chalked, I adhered them together using Art Glitter Glue and added some highlights to each using a white Gelly Roll pen.

To create my card base, I cut out a mat (4.5" x 6") using ReCollections card stock. I used a stamp from Craftin' Desert Divas "Got Coffee" stamp set to create my coffee blotches. I stamped these using Stampin' Up - Baked Brown Sugar stamp pad.

For my sentiments, I used my Cricut Explore to write them using the Cricut Alphabet font with the "Candy Crystal" Cricut pen.  I then used the Craftin' Desert Divas Banner Dies to cut out each sentiment. I adhered them onto a larger oval shape created using Bazzill card stock. I adhered a 3/8" ribbon that I had in my stash to each card and attached the sentiment to it.  For my final touch, I added a few Rhinestone Gems to the ribbon.

And there you have it - These cards were so much fun to make and super easy as well.  I hope you enjoyed my creation for today and hope to see you all again soon. Thanks for stopping by!!

Hope your Day Blossoms.....

Happy Monday my crafty friends!!! Today I am stopping in to share a card that I created using an adorable file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I've had this file for a while and finally got time to play around with it. I absolutely LOVE Sunflowers, so this file is just perfect for me.

This card measures 4.5" x 6.25". The KaDoodle Bug Designs file which I used is the Cutie KaToodles Sunflower Bear which can be found here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=1058.  I uploaded this file to Design Space and re-sized him a bit. I cut out all my pieces using Bazzill card stock and then chalked each piece using Color Box Chalk Inks (Dark Brown, Creamy Brown, Dark Green and Citrus Yellow). I also used Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks (Shimmer Shades) as well. Once all my pieces were chalked, I then adhered them together using Art Glitter Glue. Once my piece was dry, I added highlights using a White Gelly Roll Pen and a Pigma Micron Pen (005).

The patterned card stock that I used for my card base and my sentiment tag are from DCWV - The Preppy Princess Stack.  My sentiment was written on my Cricut as well using the "Moccasin" colored cricut pen in the Haley font. I added four (4) small gold brads to each corner of my sentiment tag and adhered it to my card. I then adhered my piecing to the card as well as a mix of gold and green sequins along the right side of the card. 

I hope you enjoyed my creation for today. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you again real soon!!

Happy Easter Bunny.......

Hi everybody. Today I would like to share my inspiration for the Leinzlove Tear Bear Challenge Blog (http://leinzlovetearbearchallenge.blogspot.com)

For the base of this card which measures 4 x 6, I used ReCollections Card Stock and patterned card stock from DCWV - The Glitter Stack.

The oh so adorable bunny was created using the Eggie Buddies - Bunny svg file from KaDoodle Bug Designs, which you can find here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=54&products_id=698 

I uploaded this file to Design Space and cut out each piece using my Cricut Explore. Once all the pieces were cut, I used my Color Box Chalk Inks to shade each piece. To adhere them together, I used Aleene's Tacky Glue. Once completely dried, I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add some highlights to the finished piece. My "Happy Easter" sentiment was written using the Baby Steps font on my Cricut Explore as well. 

I hope that you enjoyed my creation for today and I hope to see you come back soon and visit again! Happy crafting my friends!
